my fist reread after a while and holy fuck this might be the best yuri ever made. peak fiction
just 2 incredibly stupid bi kings that have internalized homophobia trying to deny their undying love for each other (goes wrong)
i need more manga like this. it goes so hard
(spoilers btw)
i read 67 fucking chapters and where is the girls love? there was one girl who was loving, but it stayed stagnant. honeslty i would rather maaya and sakiko to stay together but maaya never gets over chihiro ig. fuck this shit i'm actually so mad i came here to see girls kissing not girls yearning
It's like, all the stories that were dancing around in her mind never got to see the light of day. It's sad, but I'll remember Beak Seol-A and Kim No-Rae like they appear in the last panel, happy, goofying around and laughing together. RIP Ssamba, your story inspired me to created my own.
i really hate the CSA trope in BL and yaoi. like. why does every tragic backstory needs to have something so disguntingly abhorrent? i understand that some authors want to represent real life, and i get that it happens irl, but it's overused in BL. and it's kinda sickening... like why does queer media have to be always full of sexual trauma?
i guess it does explain some of cirrus' character, though. but still would i prefer it to not show us visually any of that, we don't need to see it.

Is it rly that common in BL??? This is only one our of maybe three times I've seen this be used as a trope. Perhaps you're mixing it in with the common r*pe trope. Maybe I just find softer[?] ones and you happen upon more disturbing and psychological stories but I feel like this is just way more common when there's a female MC rather than a Male(don't mean to say that in an invalidating way, just speaking from my observations) but yeah. I feel like for ppl who aren't that comfortable with the idea of it find the scenes more disturbing. Totally understand not wanting those scenes bc even I was having to rush past that for a second. Usually it's only referenced so the visualization threw me off too. I sort of wish queer media eased off that side too, there at least needs to be a balance if we can't get nice sweet stories.
i think i come across a lot more of this happening in BL. im not really a het romance girlie, i just read BL and GL, but a lot of yaoi like to use the trauma of CSA as a backstory for their characters. it's like, i know it happens irl but i've seen it wayy too many times in manga. even manga that was supposed to be lighter in tone. like it's always got to be a tragedy within queer lifes i can't with this shit no more
idc if u didn't like the MC, she feels so real to me and i have had some of the same selfish or gross thoughts she had. honestly no yuri has made me feel so vindicated(?) like this one. actual fucking masterpiece
the story went off the walls. so many new characters and most of them boring as hell or derail the main plot. like?? why is there children? the random priest vampire also? doesn't help that the translation is confusing. i think this would have worked better if it kept it like the early chapters, adding a bit of mystery. also, apparently this isn't even like an actual BL since there isn't any typical romance. absolutely and completely lost me tbh.
IT ENDED IN A CLIFFHANGER AND I CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE WTF!!!! THIS MANGA IS SO GOOD. LIKE SO FUCKING GOOD. A MASTERCLASS IN SEXUAL TENSION, OBSESSION, LOVE, PASSION, DANCE, LITERALLY SO GOOD. ALSO suzuki is a sex symbol at this point. he's probably one of the sexiest male characters i've ever seen.
i can't wait for more chapters omfg but i know it's gonna take a long ass time ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
let me tell you how much i cried because i thought for SURE yuki would tell the random guy that oshin was "a man" like tipical animanga shit and fuck man when he imagined how she would feel if he told him and didn't do it. fuck dude fuck i cried so hard i so happy oshin gets to have a happy life with her ideal man. honestly i'm actually devastated over this manga it's so good.
