Second story’s cute...but I can’t stop thinking of Junji Ito’s human chair horror manga

Omg kazuya’s mom is such a sweetie! I love it when there are awesome women in yaoi ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ I hope she becomes ayumu’s mother in law someday lol

OMFG second time reading this and I finally get the ramune bottle metaphor, the bottle is friendship and the marble is love AND HE WANTS TO GET THE MARBLE WITHOUT BREAKING THE BOTTLE WHY AM I SO SLOW

I just have one question...

Can someone explain what the other “option” that Eric talked about in the end was?

Further thoughts:

Regarding the part where they were talking about how the ice age was going to end and vampires were likely to become extinct was confusing at first, but I think it meant that vampires aren’t that different from humans but they just evolved to adapt to the cold environment after the ice age began so they can’t and someday the vampire traits will just become unnecessary as the world warms, so those traits will no longer be present in the future generations of vampire children so everyone is just gonna be human again (?), so it goes against the idea that vampires are unconditionally superior to humans (it’s just that they’re better adapted to the environment due to natural selection...since there was some talk about natural selection and artificial selection in the comic)

Anyway, I think it’s kinda sad eric will foreve be alone and cannot return to society, but that was his sacrifice for a better world, and I think maybe the occasional visits from his friends and lover will be enough ;u;

Damn this webtoon was super good, somehow Korean media always have enough drama and plot to keep you interested all the way (not to mention the plot twists in this manga were not out of the blue either. I had my hunches about “One” being a half vampire and that the daughter that Bones “had” was his mother, and I think many others did too, but I still had my doubts and when the pieces finally fit together, that was extremely satisfying. A plot twist is only good when there are hints of it that readers can notice and realize if they are really attentive, and this one did it...amazing job.

...also my other hunch was that “One” was a werewolf but that was kind of an irrational idea lmao

(Spoilers) I liked it. The ending was open to interpretation, and from what I see, it seems like Arishige is questioning whether he can like girls or if he only likes boys. But judging by how he says “not at all” when asked if he’s giving chocolates to a girlfriend at the end, I think he just doesn’t see Mioko that way. He did say that he really only had eyes for Asaba after all. Again, maybe his feelings changed near the end and he might be able to like Mioko after all, but I like the ideas behind it more if it’s interpreted as them not getting together. Because sometimes even if you really treasure someone, you just don’t see them in a romantic way, and that could be the case for Arishige and Mioko. And the way they continue to be good friends really shows that being friends really isn’t a lower position than being a lover. You just value that person in a different way. (I actually came to this realization maybe a year ago after some relationship struggles, so seeing a glimpse of that idea in this manga was really uplifting haha) And this idea could also be backed up by how Asaba (presumably) rejects Arishige but they still stay good friends. The main focus of this story wasn’t the plot, but the idea that feelings are powerful and should be treasured.

I really can’t seem to understand the yakuza ideology behind this buuuuut I’ve got a small grasp on what’s going on
...
So my idea on why yahagi had to kill sakawa...I get that yahagi is in love it’s bidou even though bidou married yamato’s mother, and he killed him to keep the bidou group stable? I believe it has something to do with the fact that sakawa hated sugihara (edit: just reread and I think killing sawara would make everyone suspect sugihara and therefore make it hard for him to touch the bidou group? Whatever that means? But like why sawara like I actually fell in love with how he was so willing to protect yamato even tho he was only a side character ;-;)

But in the end Yukio’s about to sell out his father so Yamato can get rid of the yakuza life (but like how and why would this work) but Yamato decides to stay? He aid it’s not for anyone but himself...and I’m interpretingting that as he is doing that to stay beside Yukio?

I’m living for the art though. And Ai is such a small baby omg the way Yamato, Ai, and Yukio are just regularly under the same roof is just like a warm family that the three of them never really had up until now and it’s just so cute

I saw the title and I thought “wtf? blowjob alex???” But a big thanks to the summary for clearing that up

I FEEL SO BAD FOR HARU OMG...THE PAGE OF HIM CRYING BROKE MY HEART

It would be great for him to get his own story but I really wish he could’ve had a happy ending with Shigure ;-;

I would just like to praise the lord that I read the comments first before reading this my condolences who read this not knowing what they signed up for

I recommend reading this story in ch5 of Kimi Note, since the translation there is better...maybe because this was translated from the Chinese raw :/
