Y'all gotta understand that other people react to things differently. Especially with all the societal pressure and norms and shit. Even if it was easy for you to accept that you're gay (personally it was for me) that doesn't mean it would be for others.
Eri in this case isn't even in the denial stage cuz she hasn't even thought of the idea that she could be attracted to women. I mean gurl has always felt that way with her closest friend since childhood, ofc she'd confuse genuinely being attracted to someone as just wanting to be a reliable friend to someone younger than her. For her, liking someone is just being comfortable with a guy and just winging it till she eventually falls in love or it doesn't work out and they eventually break up, yes it's comphet.
I get it. It's frustrating. But that's exactly what the author wants you to feel. Just cause u feel smth negative about the story like anger or whatnot doesn't mean it's bad. A character making you feel frustrated doesn't always equate to them being badly written. A story that only makes you happy is fine but not as impactful as a story that makes u feel all sorts of shit.
YES! Too many people go around saying a story/author sucks cause they aren’t immediately satisfied or the topic isn’t to their preference.
While I do hope Eri and Fuyuki work out because I’d hate to see all of Fuyuki’s pining go to waste (and who doesn’t love to see a lesbian have her awakening?), if they don’t, I’ll still be satisfied so long as the writing is good and reasoning makes sense. I feel it’s quite realistic to not end up with your gay awakening and first love. But I also like being sad and torn up over comics/books/movies. It’s fun when a story toys with your emotions lol so this author tends to be up my alley
I just had the irresistible urge to reread this all over again cuz of oshi no ko key visual for season 2 and finally got to read it again during my break... This manga is genuinely the best I've ever read. I remember the time when everyone was looking forward to a possible anime of this and jjk cuz they were both one of the up and coming shounen mangas.
Every time Kuroyama's plan to make a new movie was mentioned I can't help but tear up cuz it will never happen.
Holy hell author-nim has no chill this is
