I feel aside from the mid ending and weird unconfirmed relationship thing, I also just didn't really like Hyobin. I mean it seemed like by the end he didn't really know anything about Gichan despite 10 years of friendship and he was just so immature throughout the story. I'm disappointed cause I was really looking forward to this one and the art style is so nice
:((
Are there missing chapters or something? There are jumps in the story that have zero context and it makes it seem like I skipped chapters inbetween, but when I go back to check there aren't any. The jumps are strange and it's hard to understand the story, but the ending really carried this one for me since it was super adorable.
I am so freaking happy that I'm seeing other comments about the LITERAL BLACKMAIL/ RAPE that was taking place in the first chapters. That just didn't sit right with me, so I skipped a huge chunk.I skipped all the way to chapter 20 just to find what seemed to be a completely different character???? I know I missed a bunch of context about that, but I would rather not read about a rapist anyways :/ there is nothing that can redeem sexual assault in my eyes
It was pretty good, but at some point I was reading just to finish the story and not because I was interested. One of the tropes I really hate in bl is when there's a second love interest. I always end up liking the 2nd better than the main or hating the second and wishing they didn't add them to the story. I actually loved Minjin and felt so bad for him
T-T poor bb
I absolutely loved every second of this and I spent all day looking for it so I could re-read it. As much as this would have worked so well as bl, I think it's really important to show that friendships like this are ok! It ok to show you care deeply about someone in a nonsexual way! Also love the fact that a manga has main characters with disabilities. A MASTERPIECE <3 <3
I really appreciate the education and warnings given at the end of the chapters, that was so nice to see. Keeping in mind that there were many inaccuracies, I still thoroughly enjoyed this read!! 10/10!
Ahhhhhh well if you wouldn't mind taking out a bit of time to research the condition and its history of being misrepresented in the media you'll find lots of info about it. I am not very qualified to talk about these things directly, but please do consult the internet to see how harmful these tropes can be :)
I don't understand the hate for Nagizuka, he clearly liked him from the beginning he just wasn't the main character. In any other bl manga he would've tricked him into coming out and they would've ended up together and everyone would've rooted for them, so I don't get why he was made into such a "bad guy." Anyways I feel bad for him but this is such a good read otherwise!
Oh no of course what he did was wrong, that's not what I was trying to convey with my message. I have to disagree with what you said though, main characters get away with ALOT of shit in bl. I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be nearly as many people calling him a piece of shit and saying he deserves the ending he got, ya know? I mean how many rape storylines have you seen where they get a happy ending despite forcing the protag into sex? It's insane.
You clearly didn't read my other reply, but go off ig. YOU may have consistent views on this issue but clearly that is not the majority of people on this website. All I was trying to say is if you look at the top rated/most talked about bl manga what are they? Things like jinx and painter of the night where there's much worse shit happening than someone getting outed, yet look how well received they are. Your thinking here is very black and white and rarely are things ever that clear cut, especially with stuff like this. Are you really going to put rape and outing someone in the same category? That's so strange to me. BFFR.
I'm sorry, this flaming hot garbage can't even be taken seriously but at least they made it apparent that we're not supposed to like him and they weren't in love that's more than most do.
