unlike other MLs, this one is peculiar, he gives a different vibe, not sure how to describe but im will not be surprised if in the future he'll leave the MC
this shit is 10/10
was written flawlessly and unpredictably.
the phasing was perfect.
and compared to other unrequited plots this one actually hit the mark (though i wished to see nakata's flowing tears)
my only complain is how abrupt Tanaka's realization is but thats understandable if he already liked Nakata waaaay before. and yes he betrayed Takinagi which also made him suffer to the point of distancing himself from Nakata and based on what Takinagi said; their relationship probably won't last either.
it would be even more dramatic and interesting if Takinagi didn't happen to see them kissing. imagine if they weren't caught, whats next for them? they would probably continue and hide their relationship from Takinagi taking the plot to a new choatic level.
also Futaba best girl! and that ending is so brilliant and funny.
this deserve and an anime for real
honestly! Can't believe there are people who hate this? I have read this manga more than 10 times or sumn, I love it so much. The plot is so engaging and doesn't get boring even after so many rereads. They are all still kids in highschool so I understand how confusing love can be and how fickle their "love" can be, it's very on brand with how highschool romances usually are irl in at sense.
I agree that Tanigaki not catching them would lead the plot in a different direction that would have been interesting to witness. But I still like how it ended. I like all the characters even with their slight flaws.
Also Futaba really is the best girl.
the love triangle plot is so interesting or should i say love square but anyway if this was a more dramatic manga it would be perfect.
kousuke would sob nonstop and be depress coz of the rejection and the mc will be confused asf... thats better imo
the mangaka made kousuke as a emotionless character which for me is so damn unfair.
I AGREE, KYOUSUKES FEELINGS WERE SO OVERLOOKED I CANT DEAL
uke was so weak and that selfish shit did something so unforgivable. wheres the karma he truly deserved?
This actually felt like it was too easy. It needed more depth and struggle to the characters, mainly because the seme's reason for saying they didn’t love the uke anymore was so they wouldn’t suffer when the seme left to study in Tokyo.
fair point, however the manga failed to depict it that way and successfully convey the opposite. but your perspective is agreeable nonetheless.
Maybe I didn’t convey my point properly (English is not my main language) but I was actually agreeing with you (￣∇￣")
I expected to see Minami's sobbing face thats full of tears. throughout the story he's projected as a strong character but that bus stop scene would be so much better when that strong facade snapped with tears flowing from years of unrequited love.
Yess, it does feels like his walls has not completely broken down yet. Its like he is still in disbelief that they’re together
JSDF is quite the opposite irl. if someone like Yaotome is in whatever branch of JSDF he'll be living in hell.
again, the seme did some a horrible thing but of course happy ending even though the redemption isn't enough, the uke's kind and weak heart couldn't be leave the seme.
and oh my god the use of the negative filter in one of the chapter is so funny
also theres a lot of panels where they be looking like they have some kind of body disorders (except for the sister)
first story is infuriating. never once we see the seme suffer for what hes done.
IKRRR??
i mean he got yelled at and ignored for half the story + i don’t think what he did was deserving of a punishment anyways? he was a kid who made a dumb decision so that he could protect his own heart.
what he did isn't deserving of jail time, yes.
But the pain his childish dumb decision caused which affected the uke's mentality and a good chunk of his youth? Certainly he needs to feel some remorse on that part.
and when the uke finally confronted him about that, what he did was to basically guilt trip the uke about the whole situation by ignoring the uke and that scene at the library, that's worse than getting yelled at; the uke basically saying what is wrong but that look on his face certainly isn't showing regret.
but still rated 4 star for the effort of the one who scantalated this. frankly, even though the translation is giving me stroke i still highly appreciate the effort.
also even though its kinda cliché the plot actually made sense and is somewhat deep (just not conveyed perfectly i think)
