Who's the pretty blond guy in the red cape? Is he prominent in the story?
I have an answer but its spoiler if you still want it
If it's "his an evil villain" I accidentally have already spoiled myself on the comments. But do tell me, if I start reading now, will it take long for me to see him?
He's*
Why did i try to sing this like bed chem ToT
No idea what that is but I misread it as "my Chem" and was like "mcr got a song about a pretty blond boy? Is it about Patrick stump???" lol
Bed chem as in
Whos the cute boy with the white jacket and the thick accent????
You know the Korean dude who plays a Thai character in a shop for killers? Yeah, that looks like a buff version of him. Nice.
My biggest concern is that the author will turn them romantic from editorial pressure (saw that happen before with hidamari ga kikoeru). If they really want to label it, as this chapter seems to be pointing to, partner is good, isn't it? A life partner.
I want to avoid the "family" title as well, I'm STILL really happy that their priority relationship is not sexual, romantic NOR familial. It warms my heart to see that this option of life style is on the table.
Maybe it's because I'm aro and I'm used to seeing partnering aros talking about their qpr/qpp, but it does feel like a food enough word for me.
The main problem with this series is that I just do not care about mahiru and guren. Kagami clearly does, he did two spin-offs about them, which I did not read because I couldn't give a shit about them. Also, the background of minor villains? For a story that's one chapter per month??? If it was for Ferid or krul, ok, but wtf are we doing here… it's too much information, it feels like we've been info dumped on for the last 2 years
Edit: finished reading and jinguuji having no interest in himbo Tachibana is sorta telling.
Og: Tbh, I don't read this as shounen-ai. I mean, jinguuchi does read as a repressed demiaroace, but Tachibana… I mean, yeah Ch. 64 gave us the whole admiration but that felt purely platonic (also 65 is missing. The whole "it's about time that shitty goddess gave me Tachibana back"). In my eyes, the feelings only came about after the gender swap, so… even though I think their feelings rn are real, not just the goddess curse, I don't think it would survival them going back to the real world as two 30 something y/o men…

Google "fabiniku manga" and check the Reddit post about a massive spoiler in chapter 200.
So I can't open it without an account cuz it's "unreviewed content" but I'm assuming, from what I can read on the preview on Google and by the choice of words in them, that

Tachibana is a trans woman? Which is actually nicer than what I was expecting this to do considering all the loli vibes (I love being pleasantly surprised).
Still, I don't think Jinguuji were into Tachibana in her male body, and she wasn't into Jinguuji before going to that world.
I'm not questioning their current affection, it's just they don't sell as "soulmates in every reality" for me, like, they are not into every version of each other —
(which is fine I guess? As an aromantic person it makes more sense to me that someone would fall in love with the person no matter how else they looked, but I also love when a story goes like charcater X universe-hops, meets Y iteration of their lover but it's like "you're not them, you are not my Y).
— And that's fine cuz I don't think the story was trying to sell this idea either, but I've seen people saying this more than once and I was like "no, they aren't???"
A bit disappointed by the fake shounen-ai tag, still. She's a woman so this should not have the shounen-ai tag, no matter what her body looked like. I'm always bothered by mistags, and this is no exception, I feel deceived, but at least the story here is fun and I know I probably wouldn't have read without that tag and not knowing she's trans, (I genuinely thought this was going to go just the plain ecchi route and idk, they'd both be girls and reluctant accept the body change because they get to mess with each other as lolis, lol)

In my opinion, it seems like Jinguuji loves all of Tachibana's traits but he's just not attracted to men, so when she became a woman in body, he slowly had a revelation. I personally knew many men whose personalities were my type but their appearance wasn't, so I couldn't imagine myself with them. Some people are just superficial, and that's ok as long as that's just the ••first•• thing they see in a person, and personality is what they fall in love with afterwards. See it as appearance being the key in the ignition, and personality (+ everything else) being the fuel.
SPOILER FOR THE 200TH CHAPTER:
Yes, Tachibana is a trans woman. She tells Jinguuji "You know, I think that I never really felt like a man", and when they transform back to normal, Jinguuji goes back to being himself, but Tachibana goes back to being a woman. She tells Jinguuji that she can't stand him being with other women and that she wants to be her best friend, and his girlfriend. It's honestly beautiful and made me want to re-read the manga from the beginning and, hell, maybe even buy it.
The shounen-ai tag was assigned way after the manga was posted here, maybe because someone thought they were going to go back to being men and begin a relationship.
I'm on ch. 8 and it's so painful to read their sweet first time, with Ian being all careful, right after he drugged (coercitive use of pheromones) and raped Noah…
Edit: "while YOUR child receives MY protection" that's your son, you piece of shit
Edit 2: "in the past he never went down on me or took foreplay seriously" how to explain to you that he doesn't care for you, he doesn't like you, he just wants to play with an omega, dearest? He would have done that for you before if it were about you, but it isn't
Yooo, blondie's girlfriend rly pretty! Also, she DOES look like Yuu, huh...
I think this means he has a type !!!
