wait.. you guys are aware that shion is still a man no matter which body he's in right....? cuz like,, if you think that the dark hair guy is bi only because he had sex with shion in woman's body then i have some new for you ..
but like. literally it's really weird that most of you suddenly consider their sex 'less hot' and 'less gay' if one of them doesn't have a penis and has boobs insted.. like what's so weird about it? they're still men so..?
and also don't get me wrong I don't support fujoshis and I think their behaviour is really disgusting but I also wanted to point that thing out cause it was really pissing me off
oh right sorry i was wrong about that then.. i read this story some time ago so i didn't really remember it that well
i meant it only in case people consider him bi without paying attention to him being with women in past and thinking that way only because he slept with shion (as if his gender was changing every time his body changed)
i hope you know what i mean.. english is not my first language so i might not be that great at explaining ..
1. In terms of gender yes, shion is most likely male no matter which body he’s in. However his sex still changes. I say most likely because it’s unconfirmed whether the spell changes his gender identity and makes his thoughts different but as it hasn’t been mentioned this is most likely not the case.
2. Whether Rui is bisexual or not cannot be confirmed with the information we have. Rui hasn’t talked about his dating and attraction history in great detail. We only know he’s a playboy who’s fucked lots of girls. He was willing to engage in sexual activity with Shion without a second thought but it was due to their fondness for each other. That isn’t to say that Rui isn’t attracted to other males. I think you worded this part of your comment wrong because most people here aren’t assuming Rui is bi because he slept with Shion as a woman but because he didn’t hesitate to jerk him off and then sleep with him as a man.
3. Gender identity isn’t everything. Your sex still matters. Especially to a visual person like Rui. Shion even states how appearance focused Rui’s taste in women is. Even if Shion is mentally a male in his female body to Rui, Shion is a female version of his best friend. Rui considers him his best friend. But still female. And when he changes back he’s male. It’s not readers randomly coming up with this. Using trans people as an example, most appearance focused people won’t register them as their preferred gender unless they pass (when it comes time to engage in sexual activity). That’s unfortunately just what happens. You can’t force people to be attracted to a sex they don’t see as appealing.
4. Continuing on that idea fujoshi are usually straight women. They’re not attracted to other women. Of course they think it’s less hot. Straight porn is hot to straight women bc women put themselves in the place of the girl in the video. But fujos don’t want to self insert with female shion. They just want to observe. Or maybe even self insert with rui. I find it more common to self insert with the seme rather than the uke when reading yaoi (tho I don’t do either this is an observation). So it makes sense that straight women that aren’t attracted to women find this story less hot than smth like bj Alex. And that’s ok. This story is made for people that don’t mind seeing or are attracted (visually) to both genders/sexes. This is Porn with minimal plot after all. It was made as jerk off material. Not an in depth analysis at sex and gender identity.
P.S. I love how you think fujoshi are disgusting but frankly I think rude people who bunch together many different people under a single label to hate them all are way more disgusting. As a bisexual who already has to deal with gay AND straight ppl telling me I’m disgusting because we can’t pick, we’re promiscuous and cheaters.....not impressed. Very disappointed.
Point is: bad people exist everywhere and instead of trying to see good people too you shut everyone out and discriminate them all. Terrible. Prejudice.
I love boy love because generally speaking the relationship progression is more realistic I hate how helpless and stupid females tend to be in romance manga or worse the authors make it seem like females has no sexual desire at all. BL gives me the satisfaction of 2 people falling in love at a normal progression though usually among totally abnormal situations. I do not know why people hate on females loving BL manga so much. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
My biggest problem, is people who try to say that I, a straight woman, am fetishising gay relationships, or gay sex. Which I find weird, because watching people have sex is an actual fetish. And in my case, I have thought about being on the receiving end of anal, and on the giving end dispite being female. That is a fetish. Pegging is a fetish. Also, it is the same as men who use lesbian sex to get off. There is just 2 of the types of sex they like. I like men, I very rarely read straight series, because I don't fit the molds of females that they have. Like, I get drawn out because of things like, no woman moans like that. Or boobs don't work like that. Which is why I enjoy yaoi, cause anal makes you make sounds you never thought you would. So, yeah.
THAT! Especially 4. I don’t like straight porn, the only female body that I feel attractive is my one. I don’t get why people think that they can force someone to feel attracted to something SPECIALLY when these people saying this are a sexual minority. They can talk all day about how am I wrong and guess what? At the end of the day, the male body remains the only one that excites me. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate women, I think the female body is beautiful, almost sacred, but I don't think it's hot. What's the problem? They can't demand that I feel guilty about it
Why does it have yaoi tag? It's a psychological webtoon about murder, not a love story.
yeah he may have loved bum but the author confirmed that sang woo was straight. So the romantic love is one sided in the authors eyes
Sangwoo was a murderer, psychopath and had a mental disorder so there is no way he would honestly love yoonbum romantically. He only used and tortured him like he would do with any other victim. Yoonbum liked it, because he also had some psychological problems and thought it's okay to be treated like that, if it's done by the one he loves.
Also, I thought this story was supposed to be more about how cruel murderers are and how they could use, manipulate and harm other people.
Probably, if Sangwoo wasn't a cool, handsome guy, a lot of people would take the whole story differently and wouldn't feel sad for him and yoonbum at the end, because that's what they deserved.
hey....um... not siding with sangwoo here but the statement that a murderer, psychopath and had mental disorder could not possibly love romantically is kinda sad. even if a person isnt screwed right in the head they still have feelings. psychopaths can love. murderers can love. victims can love. so this two could have a love that only they can understand and we our opinions are invalid for them. love is different for all people. you could have a dark twisted killing stalking love or some fluffy full of spring love and that is okay.
honestly reading this ever since at the start to the end is liberating i love sangwoo's character and not just his character art but how author potrayed him. i am severly fascinated with him. i also think the ending suits the manga and i already knew its not ' right' to let them live off as the conclusion.
I understand what you mean and respect your opinion as well.
Actually, I thought that psychopaths can't really feel emotions, but they try to understand them and pretend they are like any other person. They use other people and can't really feel romantically about them. It may look like that, but I don't think it would be a true love. I think that relationship, where one person is torturing the other shouldn't be called like that. I know what you mean, but I think that way it kinda looks like people normalize that kind of relationship.
Also I met a lot of people who thought that Sangwoo is really hot and they would like to be kidnapped and tortured by him. This shouldn't be treated as a bdsm story or something like that. There are also some fujoshis, who, for some reason, find two men having sex with each that hot that they don't understand what the whole story is about and don't see how toxic this relationship really is. They mostly read it because it's yaoi. (I mean these toxic fujoshis, not everyone)
Of course I realize not everyone is like that, but there is still a lot of people, who think that way.
However, I don't think there is something wrong with people who are fascinated with character design of Sangwoo. A lot of people find reading about murderers or people with mental disroders interesting and there is nothing wrong with that. The problem is just that some people normalize it and consider as something cool.
Oh yes! i get you! romanticizing mental disorders are so very wrong and normalizing what sangwoo shouldn't even be a debate.
that people think this is bdsm is disappointing. thanks for sharing that and that yoonbum and sangwoo's relationship may be superficial and not romantic but nothing is still something. they got the end that is suited for them.
sangwoo's character art is hella hot but its different that people consider his actions as something to be fantasized about. he is dangerous and i dont think people who live a normal life can understand the struggles of someone abused and tortured.
at the start i also thought that two men having sex is hot (it doesnt help that KS is one of the first bl i read) but as i got older and read more i realized that there is more to it with same genders than sex. there is so many complex emotions and that yaoi in fiction is different in real life.
i hope that toxic fujoshis can also be enlightened as time goes by.
I'm glad that we understand each other. I used to like reading some bl stories with sex scenes but as time passed by I realised that it's not really how it actually works. There's nothing wrong to have sex in relationship, but it shouldn't be fetishised.
I hope in the future there would be more stories that shows the actual problems that LGBTQ+ people are struggling with in their everyday life. It would be a lot more realistic.
I also hope that toxic fujoshis would finally get it someday
Akira should rlly have more respect for himself because theres no way he fr told the blonde guy that if he changes his mind he can call him again…. like bro he just broke up with you!!!! you can do so much better than thissss!!!!!! the blonde guy was kinda annoying tbh but moto was pretty chill i liked him
