ALisAnimeLover's manga / #bromance(5)

PLEASE DON'T MAKE THIS YAOI/SHOUNEN AI. PLEASE. Edit in case someone misunderstands: I am fine with incest (ngl I like some incest mangas too), though I really just find their sibling relationship to be very cute and wholesome and I don't want it to be set aside just for romance. It's a common trope in comics where being very close to someone (friendship, siblings, whatever) just gets interpreted into a romantic relationship because it's "more special", ending up belittling other types of relationship.

Dropped on ch 5. From bm: Boring -_- di pa rin sinasabi ung dahilan (sana reasonable pero di ko pa alam) There are some bl hints but not so much hate the mc, that's not being "honest" (ung real personality niya) and minsan / kadalasan pag ilang taon na nung huli niyong pagkikita, di made-deci... putol ung bm haha

this feels like bara no maria...

I get the feeling that this suddenly ended because it was about to cross the BL line??? From ch 17, "If he got himself a girlfriend, I can't spend much time with him anymore"... And that's like every line ever in BL when the MC realizes his feelings for his best friend??? I want more TT (No, not saying the author is homophobic or whatever. Seeing their other works, they're definitely open to bl. This is probably published in a general shoujo manga magazine and not in a bl mag, so it can't contain any bl. So yeah... Sadt. Once again I'm reminded why I hate the manga industry)

Why did the fatty stay thin? Or is he on a diet? Like others have said, the ending was rushed. The puppet suddenly changed personality in a span of few pages (from wanting to graduate and betraying everyone to not wanting to kill the others to to graduate. I honestly get the vibe that it was all in his plan since the last line of those who helped the MCs was "we're here to follow X's (the puppet) wishes to save you" (non-verbatim) as if everything was premeditated. But the execution certainly didn't show any of that from the puppet's side (as mentioned, it just looked like he had a 360° personality change (yes, 360, not 180 lol. 2 turns)). The ending also never explained how everything that happened happened (lol, sorry poor English), just that it was ~reality~. There wasn't a build-up on the teacher's side (the teacher himself and his coworkers) on who they are, why they're doing this, etc, so it's just... surprise mathafaka (which came off bland since it wasn't given enough focus). Not to mention, the motivation behind everything doesn't make sense at all (*heavier spoilers in the midst of all the spoilers I spouted* so the goal was to make a perfect human, why take random people's body parts? Pretty sure the twins don't have a perfect body since they were poor, the fatty would probably have unhealthy organs, the head/face of the hacker is useless and his brains/intelligence has more worth, a dick is just a dick (or does he have an anaconda? Lmao)). I'm pretty convinced this was meant to be longer, but got axed so it had to be rushed. Still, I'm glad to see everyone had a happy ending (the rapist kinda got off way too easily though; after all, a common trope in shoujo (whether bl or straight) is that a person who got raped/harassed by their lover suffers from doormat syndrome who forgive their lover easily; and no, that isn't Stockholm, that's just poor writing to finish off the arc fast)). And yeah... There's a bit of bromance between the puppet and one of the characters. I guess it can be considered self-cest since the puppet has the **** of the other. Wahaha All the problems could probably be solved if the epilogue was longer tbh (lil explanation here and there). But oh well, manga industry sucks so the author was most likely forced to rush the story.
