I love idiots. makes me want to rewatch peep show (why)
their dynamic improved with the 22 year marination (sorry for your tears muffin-baby-pie, I don't want you to have them back)
switch written so well, it can feel a little forced (in other manga) but this was great. Mangakas unique approach to censorship made me laf (laugh)
thank you nocori and translators for the update, I ate it well
I wish mangago had a way of subbing to a mangaka omg I'm insane for nocori
reading a josei really cleanses the pallet
feel much more at ease now (I really should make a point to read them because it's what I like the most - 90s josei)
third re-read
it's just the perfect story, it doesn't lose any affect however many times I read it
does anyone know if the original novel is translated to English? or if the series is any good? I need to absorb all of this
the series is definitely not as good as the webtoon but it’s not bad !!! really cute
shiro reminds me a lot of feral children. like the thing of that's all he was taught to do so that's all he knows how to do... the thing about his mother really got to me, his mother and leader (adoptive father) "protecting him from their world"
passion for old ladies???!?!!????? mangaka draw yuri right this instance!!!!!!!!! (if they have and you know where, please tell me the link >__<)
as was said in the author's note, this is the sort of thing the internet enjoys! it's a really fresh take on this type of set up, and it's very well done! I'm excited to read the rest of ko-sensei's works ★
and the thing with semen is totally gross, like the FBI digging through trash... can we have a survey, who found that hot???
it's probably a good thing he gave him away. He was grieving and not in a fit state to raise him, this decision was a pretty important safeguarding decision (which encompasses helping a child achieve their full potential not just risk protection). Although you can't blame someone for their mental illness etc, having a child supporting an adult with mental health struggles will take a major toll. I see it as the best of all worlds (relatives having the family they want)
there is no drive to reveal this to mari with the way the story is written. It stops being told from the perspective of Mari pretty immediately, and there's no hint at any questions or feelings his end. If the mangaka were to choose to have this emotional development (shock, falling out, coming together, whatever) there would have to be a build up. This kind of emotional exploration doesn't suit the style of story or writing — it's not the focus — I'm not saying it shouldn't happen but there'd need to be several more chapters to create the interest and tension required to have the reveal be satisfying or exiting to a reader. As it stands, at least for me, it'd just be "why?" There's no cause or trigger to tell him and the story seems to be finished so I'm content with him not knowing (this is in part due to him not being very fleshed out as a character in this conclusion — if the mangaka did choose to have this arc, there would be more emotional involvement and therefore more impactful. But not every story has to be like that. I find this story fine — not 5 stars, but fine.
