BRO I'm so heated, Hodaka genuinely seemed like such a great guy what the hell this is why I have trust issues wtf is wrong with him
Idk about all that Plenty of people do things out of the kindness of their heart. I try to do what I can to make others happy, and I'm not gonna presume that I'm the best person around so others must be doing the same with no ulterior motives. But it does suck when people prove me wrong and end up sucking
Heejae is so cute lol like bro sucks so much but atp whatever. This is like killing stalking kidz bop version (can u tell I didn't read killing stalking)
Seyeong is also cute? But bro is so dumb he's really like that whole "I played gay chicken with this dude. We've been married 14 years if he doesn't say sike soon I'm gonna start thinking he's actually gay"
Idk, they both suck and are both cute so like they should smooch ig
This is sooo cute I reread it after a couple years now that it's finally finished and ahhHH the main couple is just so adorable, and sometimes that level of cuteness can be a little repetitive but they mixed it up with the side couples I'm obsessed with them, and I'm so glad the epilogue gave us more of Sunha and her beautiful gf
I was iffy about this at first but then it got really, really cute and sweet. I appreciated how Shizume was showing more love for Kiumi and their dynamic was really sweet.
The mixed feelings come more from the second volume. I'm not conflicted at all about Koh, I absolutely hate him and how easily he got off. The whole conversation Shizume and Koh had would have been really good if Koh hadn't just sexually assaulted Kiumi wtf. Seriously how are both guys in this relationship gonna have trauma from the same mfer and still interact with him not okay.
The second thing is the random shit about how Kiumi found out he's gay like I was happy to see a comfortable out and proud gay man but why's it gotta be that he hates women. Like dude, he got done way worse by so many men in this story and was fine but one girl being a piece of shit makes him swear off all women? Stupid and bad.
The art is really pretty, and there were a lot of really sweet, good moments that were genuinely good and well written which is why those massive red flags above only caused mixed feelings and weren't total deal breakers.
Also, about Shizume being closeted which I see people are talking about,,, I don't really see the issue as Kiumi is fine with it and they find ways to spend time together. I couldn't be with someone who was closeted personally bc I'd be too stressed, but I don't think it's a problem for them. The whole thing with Koh is that he was incapable of accepting that Kiumi was fine with it and fully decided on his own that bc he wouldn't be okay, no one else would either. Not how that works, not everyone needs to have a public relationship and not everyone views things the same way.
I did think the rings were really cute. Also I loved Kiumi's friends, they're such sweethearts.
Overall, a bit sad cause it could've been an incredible piece but those glaring issues kinda soured it. I still liked everything else about it tho
He said he can manage talking with a woman when she's alone but when they're in a group it's difficult for him, how's that misogynistic also the accusations were actually really bad if you look back, imagine you just had sex with a girl and that next thing you know every girl in your school is after you
I'm also criticizing the writing here, not only the character, the setup and backstop is extremely bizarre considering how sexuality also doesn't work that way. Reminds me of how in one of the earlier chapters when he was asking other guys how they discovered they were gay one guy answered that a guy from hs r*ped him and that's how he realized he's gay - another crazy thing to write. You don't have to agree with me, but that's how I feel
This is so wild cause the beginning is whack af what with the nonconsensual bits making me uncomfy, but they end up being so incredibly sweet?? The art is insanely gorgeous, this authors art is actually crazy and I love the character designs sooooooo much.
I also thought it was cool that he transforms into a lion cause it's almost always a wolf. That being said, the lion sex was... uhhhhhh,,,,, let's just say I'ma pretend I didn't see all that lmaoo not my cup of tea but the good parts of this are so good that I'll pretend the other stuff never happened
(Also I appreciate the note saying that Amran was just a fan initially and only fell in love after Yoru was an adult. Thank you, note.)
