tofu's manga / #Switch(22)

Aaah another adaptation of a great slice-of-life / coming-of-age novel by WuZhe! The pacing of the manhua can be a bit disorienting but overall the story is great. It's full of the mundane goodness that i love from WuZhe's works, and I want to keep reading it forever.

What i like: - relationship discussion & compromise - consent & communication - reversible established couple - bottom positivity! position dont matter and it never represents your masculinity or whatev, the only thing that matters in sex is that you and your partner enjoy it! you're free to like one or the other or both as long as you're comfortable with it! What i dont like: - the writing's not very good so 3 volumes of this felt like a drag - the flashback when they were in HS kqjwjwjsiwki 100% skipping it

I realized i never wrote a serious review for this so i just gave it a reread and wow this manga?????????is so light and silly and sad and heartbreaking and heartwarming and wholesome???????? It's well written with great characters and i love it so much. I love it so fucking much i never want it to end. I wish there were a hundred more chapters. I wanna see them grow even older together. I wanna see them do and argue about stupid shit even as they're balding and greying. I wanna see them happy for many, many years in exchange of the ones they spent being heartbroken over each other. I just. Love them so much, man it hurts.

Dgmw, the original novel is freaking great (it's by the danmei goddess WuZhe herself, i'm begging you to please PLEASE read the novel you won't regret it) but tbh the art and panelling make it hard to follow. Update: im once again Begging everyone that sees this to go read the novel, seriously, this manhua does no justice to it.

The start was mindblowingly strong, I was expecting an incredibly painful resolution that seeing the normal / underwhelming ending almost gave me a whiplash lmao. Still a good read tho.

So many thoughts and emotions rn.....i'd been waiting for this manga to be completed for SO LONG and now that it has, i felt a bit empty inside.

I love this shit!!! Toujou is so fkn cool and sumire belongs in my pocket fr. Also i know its weird saying this about highschoolers but i like Like that the author dropped a hint about them being a switch couple. Theres definitely not enough of that in the BL manga scene right now.
