but wtf happened to the plot? Started off so charming w/scary-faced awkward but earnest Tashiro x strong and independent but cute Ebihara... then the whole modeling arc ruined everything imo. Way too much focus on it, sister is weirdly obsessed, then he 180s into a confident handsome master model? ヽ(`Д´)ノ And then the main couple is abandoned just when we're getting progress?? I was so disappointed
Plus the manager is a creep. (And I know it's only a manga but still) Going after a 19 year old when you're nearly 30...plus he's under your care professionally? I don't see the chemistry at all
and the art is so good but this one is mid. Total rape to start & the seme isn't likable... I don't feel their chemistry
This is too sweet & I loved the balance between fluff and realism. Chapter 5 was esp good writing - that even w/best intentions there are things we won't always understand bc it's different from our own lived experiences. I especially loved the slight twist end where they heard a woman's pov that was not what they assumed too
Was that stabbing scene supposed to be a dream or some kind of vision of what Bell was really doing to a fake Louie??
They're both too cute. I love the personalities & the art! Also the communication even when it's hard. Aoi basically being like "here's my shitty life story not to make you feel bad, but to understand that I'm different from you/have different skills - I'm doing my best"
Esp since he was up front to his partners... but I could never believe that someone like that suddenly wanted to be in a monogamous relationship w/me (Like he wasn't even sure he'd be able to have sex w/Kaede) & then didn't tell his other partners about it either : I know it's not that serious tho lol
Lmao the way he cut through the bs - finally are we getting him remembering his spine? Even tho I was actually enjoying Doyeon - I love me a mischievous flirt but I don't like when they're just there to mess up the relationship. Sadly pretty predictable turn
I also like the lady penguins lol & the art is charming. Ngl the lion one was a bit...w/his friend's kid. Like do I read this from an animal pov? A human one? A yaoi logic one lol? Either way he's too baby for me
And I also think the dragonization plot is pretty interesting. Hopefully there will still be some twists with that
Lol how did Jaehee even contact him to threaten him? I always appreciate his commitment
So I'm assuming yakuza guy was the father bc they still didn't explicitly say? I also still don't understand why she involved Touma in the baby daddy thing either. Maybe I forgot & need to reread lol. And about Sentarou's job(/TДT)/ He is talented & I wanted him to get credit! Still so much untapped potential to this story
I hope he doesn't have to repeat being a child again...that would be so weird with the already established adult relationship
Or am I misremembering lol? I don't remember him looking like that
