Lmao I love how the this whole comment section is like a high school reunion - some graduated, some drop out, married and had kids... And we're all here meeting again!! It's like this manga is a canon event for every bl reader!!
I actually have so much to thank this manga for - it made me happy when I was having really bad thoughts. Now it's so nostalgic for me and I changed a lot since then.. Idk if I wanna reread and spoil my own memories.
no for real i just started working my first full time job and i read this manga when i was in middle school and its still on going!! nostalgia vibes
Damn! I can't even imagine how it's gonna be when it's complete then I'm probably gonna be emotional af if I ever finish it
Guys, be honest, am I weird for NOT thinking they look so young?
I really find shotacons disgusting and would absolutely have dropped this if I thought they looked like kids, but they look perfecly grown ups to me...? Idk if this is just bcuz I got used to the "baby face" animes and mangas usually have, tho -even for adults
The only real problematic thing I see is their age. Honestly, I'll never get why japanese authors (assuming this is the case here) choose deliberately the high school set for most ecchis, instead of university - wouldn't be that much of a change...
Since anime teens look exactly the same as anime adults, reading a sexy manga set in highschool reminds me of watching any american show where the actors are all 20yos (or even 30yos) playing highschoolers. In my mind all these characters are played by 22yos. (Sometimes a yaoi will have "teen" characters that make you go, that is a 35 yo man)
Its still a weird trope in either case but i think thats why it doesnt bother me. (Tho sometimes the characters really do look way too young and i gotta nope outta there)
Yea, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks like that! I'm actually surprised I never thought how american shows are the same as this hahah
I confess I avoid high school animes and etc as much as possible - specially bcuz I'm quite done with this theme and teens in general -, but some of them are just silly and fun to watch/read.
Honestly, high school ecchis shoudn't even exist. In cases like this manga, i'm also like "they're in college and have 20yos". But this only works if they genuinely look like the typical adult animes portray.
no because the way them being in highschool literally adds nothing to the manga is what's crazy there was no reason for them to be high schoolers! I've definitely noticed that a lot of mangas like this are less crazy in Japan. I've witnessed first-hand people defending elementary schooler x highschooler because "it's not that weird in Japan" like what
Bro that's insane... Idk, I don't want to be the person to judge other people's culture, but this whole sexualization towards kids in Japan is so open it's ackward af. Honestly, I've heard that happens bcuz they're really unhappy with the adult corporate life and those stories might bring back the old happy days or something but still... weird.
And just to clarify, I'm not saying this doesn't happen in other countries - it certanly happens in mine -, and USA also has a bunch of movies sexualizing teens-with-20yo-faces, but some animes and mangas are just too criminal, ya know?
Tbh the only thing I can think of is that it's more believable for highschoolers to have a first love and first relationship than university students who could've more experience. The story is usually more innocent than when it's a Uni setting.
Not saying it's the case for everyone obviously.
Also, more people have been to highschool than University, so maybe it's easier for the readers to be nostalgic of that period ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I get it and I think that's the also the reason... But, I mean, korean webtoons are usually set in Uni, and for me they're very similar - which is why i prefer them over mangas when i'm looking for a lighter content (. .)/
It's not even shota. Shota is male loli
Exactly, this is WAY better then American shows too, it's just racists trying to take a high ground
Yeah, unfortunately I know. I mentioned it bcuz I saw it on the comments!
Yeah, i get what u mean!!
Guys, I swear I just lived untill now to see the moment Shima would look at her with love in his eyes
People in the comments be like, "Hey, don't you ever dare do something wrong in your life :D What? Did you already made a mistake? Anyway, you're just an awful person"
At this point we might have every kind of fanservice lmao
I'm even considering Pania and Naos with swapped genders (and i kinda love the idea XD)
You’re gonna summon it lmao
This is a secret, but I'm actually a prophet (▰˘◡˘▰)
oh you would LOVE man with ghosts
Yeah it’s just peak the top there is something
Looks exacly the stupid thing I need rn, thanks XD
I'm suprisingly interested to see how this goes! They're both the same archetypes we've seen before and the trama is basically the office romance with the boss and the poor employee - predictable but confortable.
Man, the fact that they don't actually ~ do it ~ is somehow hotter
It just occured to me that they're actually really normal and I was having waayy more dirty thoughts when I was their age. If they're perverts wtf was I?
Maybe this author is pretty decent with their characters cuz yesterday I've heard a 15yo kiddo say smth about strap-on her bf (don't blame me, she was loud) and I as much as this makes me feel less ackward about past self, I never thought i'd want to unhear smth so bad :D
LMAO YOU MUSTVE RAN INTO A GOJO AND MARIN MOMENT. Reminded me immediately when they were both talking about the eroge mc nutting nonstop at morning assembly and the bystanders heard
Lmao u just reminded of this scene
