i like how we've lost the plot a long time ago, pivoted to a different set of characters before the first set could finish the story they wanted to tell, they are all 15 and get sexualized by the fanbase (and author) a lot, and how the brown haired boy (forgot his name, the one that's always with the light haired boy and has a little sister who's obsessed with him) has absolutely no personality whatsoever
I do think zhang zhen xi (brown hair) has a personality, maybe it hasn't been as clear because the chapters are focusing on He's family business and tian/mo relationship. besides being jian yi's partner (platonic or not - idk how the author will proceed), zhen xi has demonstrated being more on the rational and cool side - contrary to the other 3. he's also very understanding, always trying to deal with jian yi's family stuff as well as their feelings. he's the one who's kinda there for everyone always.
puberty for boys can be really surprising. i have 7 male cousins, and from what i've seen is that the longer they stay small and have their child-voice, the taller they grow later on. one cousin in particular went from 160cm to 186cm within a year or so at age 17.
another cousin gradually grew to 170cm until age 16 and then shot up to 191cm by his next birthday.
as long as shuu eats well, does stretches and exercises his muscles, he will probably grow at least another 20cm once his puberty hits.
ryosuke is a better person than me bc i would have left shun's stupid ass a long time ago. there's a limit to how unresponsive you can be towards your partner in a relationship.
Agreeeee
THE SETTING, THE STYLE, THE PLOT, THE CHARACTERS!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING!!!
especially lee doseong as the manifest spirit of joseon that prevails in its fight against a colonial, mass slaughtering, racist occupation. every time he makes an appearance, it's a highlight. everything he says needs to be framed. he's such a menace yet so smooth, i am his biggest fan. he is my master and i am his loyal cow forever now.
scarlet berico seems to be the only BL mangaka completely ridding her stories of exposition dumps and relies completely on showing instead of telling. the characters are already there, the scene is already set, and you as a reader are allowed to have a glimpse inside a portion of their life, not privy to any details, just grateful for any information revealed to you through context. lovely.
is this what it's like when two simple-minded, quiet guys date??? i know a lot of guys like that, but i'd never seen two of them "hit it off" and like... reading this comic i feel like i know why now. they're just being quiet at each other together, that's hilarious, realistic and frustrating at the same time
wtf is going on?
i am so lost, but i can't stop reading bc this is one of the most interesting bl concepts i have seen in comics.
imma ignore the big potato chapters and just enjoy the little potato ones. the sexual undertones that appear when he's older just don't sit right with me. they are parent and child.
for real I wish they just kept it like parent and child
Yessss it’s really weird and the people being actually fine with it are weird asf
i love how protective yuri is of jiri, and how disgusted he always looks at yohan lmao
