me being 90% sure he will start avoiding ilya and put everything in motion bc that's the liche way vs me having hope he'll have some brain and understand "it depends on your own choice"
tough shit
.... i really like the friend. tbh he's my favorite and while i know he will never be chosen, there's somehing about obsessive love that just hits all the good spots in my brain. ahh, jaewoo, you lucky bastard
does anyone has spoilers? if I know what's up maybe I can keep reading but seriously, the sister is really getting on my nerves
i think this is one of the most beautiful series i've read. the growth of the characters (the dad, especially) is so good and well-paced and i teared up a little. it's a bit bittersweet too, school crushes, especially for us closeted queer people, rarely bloom into something else, so i can't help but feel Hiroki will keep his love for Daigo a secret 'till the end. nonetheless, it was still nice and sweet, and the addition of Aromantic/asexual rep with the little brother was so good! And saying it's ok to not be sure still, that you have so much time to discover who you are is ok... Top tier. What got me the most, however, was the mom; she's just so sweet and supportive and ahh, I know LGBT+ people would do anything to get someone like her to be their mom lol. What she said to Hiroki in the end made me cry actually, she didn't really out him since he wasn't ready yet but she laid the foundations and made clear she would support him and love him unconditionally and I know how reassuring that is.
TL;DR: this is one of the best LGBT+ mangas i've read, please, give it a chance.
jfc setting everything aside, that girl is actually so stupid like? i don't get it, if her family wanted to sell her off they could've at least educated her in etiquette and diplomacy because there is no way such a high ranking woman could actually think killing the favored daughter of the religious leader of a foreign country IN WHICH SHE IS LIVING ALONE is a good idea. then again, she is delulu a dumb and we get it, we need some cannon fodder to make the MC look good, but come on. i'm getting a bit tired of all the stupid rivals lol
as much as i love the mother having depth and her own set of trauma, it makes me happy you as a reader aren't forced to forgive her. momo didn't either and that's fine. she's a really horrible person who failed to do the bare minimun an adult has to do when seeing a child being hurt, to help them. i still can see her own pain, however. that's a sign of a good writer, harada is top tier
AWOOGA
AWOOGA AWOOGA OHLALA ARFFF BARK WOOF WOOF GRRRARFFFF BARK BARK GRRR WOOF BARK BARK ARFFFF
you know... i don't think i've ever seen such a spot on depiction of depression before. not in a reincarnation manhwa that I remember. inés is heartbreaking to me, and ignoring the whole traveling in time and stuff, the feeling of wanting to return to the good times of your youth yet being unable to is just too accurate. the breakdowns she suffers are also a really accurate IMO, having episodes you become unable to even function properly as a human being due to the amount of stress and trauma you deal with unable to speak about it, which in turns sours your interpersonal relationships and creates a wall between yourself and the others that are sometimes unablet to understand you... Damn.
man just let the cerberus eat those nasty people come on
who has the novel link to read? i tried to look in novelupdates but i can't find the website to red it TT TT
crying, i can't take jerry seriously bc i think of the mouse from Tom & Jerry
MAXI'S CHARACTER GROWTH IS SO SCRUMPTIOUS I LOVE IT, I'M ENJOYING EVERY BITE NOM NOM
this hit me like a truck. this mangaka always hits the spot in my heart for me, but with recent situations i've been through, the talk about love and romance just... kind of destroyed me. after living loveless for the 20 years of my life, dropping out of school due to mental heatlh issues and never connecting to anyone IRL, two close friends confessed to me. i am a very romantic person, at least when it comes to fiction and music and i always longed for love, but when i became unable to answer them properly i started to wonder if i wasn't just enamoured with the idea of love instead, like, the concept of it. exploring it in fiction is my favorite, writing about two characters falling i love and using so many beautiful words and metaphors for it is my favorite activity, but when it comes to me... i'm not so sure anymore. the thought of being aromantic crossed my head but i'm still not sure and in my indecision i ended up hurting both of my friends. maybe i just need some more time to actually think it deeper and understand if i really want to grow these seeds or if i am unable to.
small vent but i feel better. this mangaka always gets to me.
i... i really like the friend... he tickles a special part of my brain... but i'm so sure he won't be chosen... and i'm here, wailing because i always have second male lead (third?) syndrome
wakana i love you and i totally feel you but i will not forgive you if you make my princess sad!! grrrrrrr
