i want so badly to finish this for the outfits and the art,,,, i never managed to in my first run reading it back in like,,, 2005,,,, but it’s not even the parts that didn’t age well, it’s the fucking author’s notes. girl shut up i am all about respecting the artists because they work so hard but jesus FUCKING christ she’s rude and annoying. “wow i can’t believe you thought that my boys who i modeled after band members were DIFFERENT band members! how dare you!” “i just hate ugly people! i’ve never met an ugly person who is nice!” like even as a person who likes vkei and knows and has listened to half the bands she’s talking about,,,, shut upppppppp i’m begging on my knees
asada’s brain is so huge for that first one,,,, as someone whose parents were in a cult (arguably multiple if we’re counting Weird Churches, which clearly the author is lol) and then took a hard left into Socially Palatable Organized Religion, this is an extra wild ride and i am obsessed with the commentary. also OOF the choice placement of the juvenile correctional facility shirt after he’s been taken into custody,,,, no shot that was not an intentional dig at the catholic church lmao. like that did not have to be there, but is not forefront to the story enough for it to be A Weird Kink Thing.
like yeah it’s stockholm syndrome, but it’s literally also tagged horror lol. i’ve seen equally shitty abusive dudes written off as “romantic” in manga, at least they’re calling a spade a spade. also this tiny little fuck with his dumb little moustache lmaoooooooo i’m not done so i haven’t reached OH NO SAD moment yet i’m seeing in these comments, enjoying the black comedy so far tho
successfully navigate healthy poly negotiations then turn right around and hit me with the cousin incest i— (￣▽￣;)
he reminds me of the classmate from kininatteru hito ga otoko janakatta lol
it was funny and even though the ml is kind of trash, it was entertaining,,,, now the plot is going weirdly and i think they’re just dragging it out so it doesn’t have to end but like,,,,,, Perhaps it should have just ended when they got together or slightly after lol this whole thing after introducing arashi is so out of left field and seriously feels shoehorned in to just spark some drama and keep it going
lmao parasocial stan going so far as to move to another country and stalk their idol all the way to their company is a literal nightmare situation. like right up there with “sorry we can’t accept fan gifts because one time someone put superglue in our group member’s orange juice and poisoned him.” (why is that so specific? bc unfortunately that actually happened to a kpop idol in the early 2000s )
i’m like idk i won’t let you do anything dangerous but also i don’t have it in me to be crazy strict when i also spent my teenage years skipping school and slacking so uhhhhh yep let’s skip out and go watch a movie
i’m literally crying THEY’RE!! OFFICIALLY!!! DATING!!!!!!!!!!!
and like!!! god!!! so much representation— and realistic to boot!! people who didn’t figure out their sexualities until late in life! ace lesbians! eating disorders and phobias! people with strained home lives (and specifically clarifying that YOU CAN CHOOSE NOT TO HAVE THEM IN YOUR LIFE AND THAT’S OKAY)!! lesbians who say i love you and decide to move in together 1 ( one) whole second after making it official!! it’s a lot of exclamation points but they are deserved i love everyone!!! (also shout out to the mangaka for straight up including a cited bibliography for their referenced articles and literature i literally am in love with them)
july 2,,, literally that’s a single week away. seven days, you ungrateful fucks lmao

this is giving run away with me girl vibes but Even Sadder and i have one fear
like there’s not a huge amount of plot development, it feels like especially in the romance department, but the characters feel unique and i love their personalities
i’m catching up on chapters i missed and i’m wheezing “that’s too bad. i guess there won’t come a day when can sing about mutual love.” GAKU U LITTLE SHIT LMAOOOOO genuinely that is such a sick burn i literally cackled
