I was rereading (as always) and noticed another minuscule detail. JJK isn't someone who'd lie. The only good thing about him is literally that he's always (brutally) honest. Since he doesn't gaf what other people think of him to begin with. But in ch35 he couldn't admit to dan that someone actually saw him in that state. He knows how much dan needs him (and his money) and he was certain dan wouldn't leave him no matter what he does (at least till ch53 lol), so why couldn't he just admit what he did? Did he pity dan or did not want him to dislike him? I think in his core JJK is very insecure and it's become more apparent with the recent chapter. He acts tough to hide the fact that even he himself doesn't believe in himself. I'm so excited to see how and when he'll realize his feelings but I just wanna say I don't think his care and attention for dan is "uncalled for" or "out of nowhere" I believe the trigger point of his love (?) and affection was was very well-hidden in such small details. He's an asshole through and through but there are well-written layers to his character. Let's be patient and see what Mingwa has planned!!

Thank you! I really like how he's written haha we see a lot of assholes in BL manhwas these days but most of them have absolutely no personality... almost like they're just being a bitch for the sake of it (shock value probably?) while JJK is very consistent in his character and you can actually find a reasoning for his actions. Of course we may not agree or understand him but we do know why he does what he does. I like that about him a lot!! I'm so tired of bland characters who suddenly become fools in love which is why it physically hurts me to see people saying JJK is doing the same. He's grown attached to kim dan in his own way but it's not something that's thrown in the reader's face. In fact you have to read twice to realize these details. Kim dan very carefully made a place for himself in his (JJK's) steel heart but it wasn't sudden!!

you're so right, there's so many things i picked up reading again, and even a third time. his behavior seems indifferent, but it really isn't. there's so much more there. i feel like there's hints that jjk came from nothing and became something.. the charity that seems to be an annual thing he does for his bday. mentions of bullying from jumin.. no family or friends. and now it's just him alone in that big ass apartment with an injured shoulder lol. i can't wait to see it all unfold. i wanna know what he talked about with dan's granny, maybe a reference to that note dan wrote for the bday gift? personally speaking, I don't want jjk lose his entire career since I feel he worked hard for it, but some grovelling is good hehe

for anyone who feels bad that jjk is going through hell rn please do keep in mind 1) all the things he did to Kim Dan even tho that boy was a literal angel to him 2) no mater what trauma he's had since childhood, while it Can explain why he did what he did, it does not justify his actions; So let us be happy in peace that guy should suffer a lot more this is just the beginning
(I'm usually against the jealousy trope but this time I genuinely need to see jk going mad with the appearance of a second male lead)
Why does manta take on mature works if they want to keep it for all ages? It's so annoying omg this looks like it's gonna be great but the moment I saw manta at the top I knew they'd find a way to ruin it somehow
fuck just stick to your goddamn children books tf are you doing licencing all the adult ones?
Yes. I was so frustrated with this
Manta does it a lot, but I checked out the raws to see if they changed anything and... nope... the OG series is not +19 either
I know but from other series I've seen they even resorted to not showing nudity in some panels or deleting them all together. I remember a kiss scene in no moral was cut short like... can you imagine? I hope they won't do it with this one but honestly my bar for manta is in hell. They can't do anything right even their translation is lacking
Do you mean the novel? If I can remember correctly this is R18+ in the novel.
No I checked the raws of the manhwa (since they're ahead in chapters) and so far there's been no nsfw but idk it might change in the future
