nini's manga / #sports(22)

tbh i expected a lot from this bc it did have kind of a high star rating plus it is going to have a bl korean adaptation which is why i decided to read it in the first place, but i'm sorry but i was disappointed :')) at first it was kind of confusing since the dialogues were a mix of narration and inner monologues but after i got used to it i think the plot was all over the place too :'> i felt like there were too many plot holes and there were also issues that were opened but was never properly discussed :< i agree with the author that this seems like more of a coming of age type rather than bl because the plot focused more of the characters' inner problems and past rather than their relationship itself ^^ but the thing is, i really wanted to see some character development esp from taehyun bc he did say that he'll try to like dayeol so wait for him but then it just skips to them being together already and he's still quite the same :'DD the reviews say that their relationship is healthy blah blah but in reality they don't even have proper communication bc taehyun keeps hiding his feelings and he never even replied to dayeol's i like yous :')) i also want to mention how taehyun's trauma was just taken lightly ?? like he never got medical attention or diagnosis for his mental state when we can clearly see that something's probably wrong with him esp when he harmed himself with the pot. idk if this story had the "psychological" tag but i'm putting it in bc it had that vibe the whole time and i think even up until the ending, taehyun was still quite suffering even though he slowly started to open up to his family :< i have a lot more to say but yea i'm not sure if i'm gonna watch the live action bc i was confused here and tbh it was kind of boring esp now that i know how open the ending is, i won't have anything to look forward to in the series :'(( but the author did mention they were still not good at showing the "love" part in the bl genre so i don't blame them~ and i think this was also their first time if i'm not mistaken ^^ this was just a critique for the work itself but i'm not judging the author whatsoever :)) the art style's pretty nice this was a so so read ^^

this one was a pretty unique one ^^ i think the plot was quite confusing at first which is why i think this should be a reread type of story lol after understanding everything at the end, i think i need to reread the whole thing to make it make sense~ i'm happy kunimi's okay like omg i'm also glad that he was able to recover and he also ended up with gaku <33 i like how cute they are esp after 10 years of not seeing each other ^^ gaku really treasured kunimi since he waited for him all these years~ overall i think it was good :)) i'm liked how unique the concept of the plot is bc these type of tropes are not common esp in bl !! there wasn't much drama (i expected it to be more angsty since it involves suwerslides and all) since it focused on his past memories :> i also liked their relationship ig ?? i mean we didn't get to see a lot of it but they were cute esp towards the end :DD the art style is gorgeous though !! this was a good read !!
