For someone who has grown with tons of family pressure, this is something so painful. Most elderly are so good at emotional manipulation because they already have years of observing, knowing and experiencing different things. They know how to stir guilt, regret and helplessness in order to hit a person's weak spot and they use this effectively.
It's really sad when a person's major decision gets affected by this. Because in the long run, it's not the elderly's life that gets ruined and they're not the ones who will suffer. All in the name of 'Im already old and when I die, I want to rest in peace'. Clearly shows a lack of trust and confidence to the person they had supposedly raised and taught in life.
No one will ever know about a person's real happiness but the person himself/herself.
I experience this firsthand and to be honest, it's not the fact that I get emotionally manipulated that hurts the most, but the fact that I wasn't being trusted enough to decide for my own.
They expect too much and focus too much on the strengths and abilities we possess (and that is forced upon us) as per they have "observed" yet they didn't realize how much is the gap between their expectations and the trust they put on us is far too large. They may often say it's in their best interest for us but this much pressure while not being trusted enough is too painful. I understand that they want to be relied on, but atleast I also want o be trusted the same.
That's true. But for me, what I see is selfishness. Subconsciously, they want to get what can satisfy their jealousy towards what other elders have, their competitiveness, their sense of satisfaction that they have 'created' their version of a successful product, and to crush their fear of being laughed at or ridiculed by others.
It's because the young ones have become their standard of success, and their idea of legacy.
Pretty artwork, good... hmn, good... BUT! This is the exact representation of a rollercoaster ride, too fast and too abrupt that it will leave you confused, hanging, wanting or even unsatisfied. Like, the feels are there, dude, just let them build some more before you make a drop or a soar next in the story. Like, my smile is already forming then 'wtf! what??? That's it??'
The scenes are raw and uncooked before being served. I don't understand what I'm eating anymore. (〜￣△￣)〜
I don't know but the two side stories / two other couples give me more feels than the leads. Their stories and the circumstances they're in are deeper, more meaningful, more complex and more unpredictable. They make one curious and wonder because they're not conventional. They pull out more emotional strings and wider understanding that I can't even bring myself to get angry at that uncle. I can even relate with some of his selfish concerns.
The leads are fluffy and sweet, especially the seme. But the other two semes are strongly engaging as well. Oh, I just love this manga!
Smutty and meaningful.
I seldom find a short manga with a deep story in it aNd if I do, they usually just end leaving me on a cliff. This one though is different. While reading, you can't put it down. When it's finished, you've really had your fill. I really like it.
Every time I have a f**kin' hellish time, I go back to this manga and it never fails to make me laugh!!! This is gold! Not too many dialogues but each scene is genius! Their facial expressions and movements are perfect for good laughs! I really love this manga! Better than most comedy shows.ヾ(☆▽☆)
I usually go for the smutty ones and easily get bored with the wholesome mangas but this one got me tight. It's really good! The thrill, the development, the angst, the excitement and the right amount of annoyance. It's not slow at all. Can pass for a TV drama!
I love this manga! The recipe is perfect with all the right amount of sweetness, angst, problems, misunderstanding, making up, smut and commitment! I like be these two so much, even more than the first couple.
I especially like the seme. He doesn't play with relationships and he takes responsibility with anything regardless if his actions were intentional or not. Not arrogant and willing to accept his own faults. Why can't all semes be like this????
Stories like this only give me a bad notion about attractive, successful people. It might be real in some people's lives but I don't want to read or know anything about it. So stressful. What do you gain when you have all the money in the world but your happiness just gets fucked down the drain? And it also hurts people who genuinely care for you, who deserve to be happy with you, and who can live a better, simpler and less complicated life with you? Sorry, I didn't like this one. Not even a comforting end.
It was cute and all but when the sensei started to act like a meddling adult sorting out two kids, it broke the sweet string in my yaoish brain. Like, dude, let them ask each other questions. Let them sort it out directly on their own. They both deserve direct confessions. Good thing that part didn't drag on. I almost dropped it.
Sorry, I just feel that in dealing with feelings, people should grant others a private space. It wasn't that of a big deal though. It was still a good manga.
How can a short manga be this beautiful? A timeline of love and life realistically and beautifully shown. The ups and downs, everything. It's so good and sweet that I just can't stop crying in the end. Oh my God, I'm out of words. I'm just gonna roll in the corner now and savor all these feelings. I need to cry it all out. ╥﹏╥
