As a mentally ill American, I really wonder if that's how people see shrinks (which are usually referred to psychologists, and not psychiatrists per se). For the longest time, going to a psychiatrist meant a benzo prescription or some kind of damage control to the symptoms of a mental illness. I've had several psychiatrists in the last few years, and it felt more like a pseudoscience the more I looked at it. Any medication that I was on and the dosage, I asked to be on it. Even without my personal experience, with the lack of access to healthcare, seeing a "shrink" isn't as normalized in America as it is portrayed in this series. The commendable model of mental illness treatment is definitely not from the U.S.
i mean ye she was a high schooler but one that was forced to study and study for hours on ends with essentially no life. Her life revolved around her family and school, so it's obviously she's going to be very childish. you dont mature as a person if that's your schedule day in and day out.
he's a pushover, i know these men, they think they're always upholding some sort of moral standards, but at the end of the day, it's all just cowardice, a need of validation, and a fear of rejection from his female pursuits. He doesn't know how to say no, nor does he know how and where to draw the line. His marriage crumbled bc he couldn't properly communicate with his wife about their sex life, then the final straw was bs he couldn't draw a clear line with the nurse. If you like wishy washy goody two shoes male character, I suggest, even if this is a BL, Kyuuso Ha Cheese no Yume Omiru, ML is exactly like this guy.
as raunchy as this manga may be, this might be one of the most, if not the most realistic portrayal of the industry, the corruption, the fluidity of sexuality, trauma, as well as the absolute ridiculousness it intertwines. this is just overall great character building and storytelling
ik this is beside the point but that's just... impressive they just happened to go on a 6 hour drive to huntington
don't get me wrong, this story is BEYOND great. but, is that how the artist and author think 3 and 5 year old children look like that??? he looks at least 8 or 9 years old when he was "3"
Dem strong genes
this author is so good at portraying characters' rock bottoms. looking forward to seeing what happens next(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
It's so nice that we finally get to see a fast paced manga without feeling rushed. Whew.
