vers4i's manga / #Living together(17)

this ... is gorgeous. like drop dead gorgeous. the art, the writingㅡhow the characters live and present themselves. the contrast between the elegance of dance and violence of boxing and how they're both performed by men who're constantly shallowed in a box and how they outgrow them. the romance is adorable, jiang shen's province life is so nostalgic. i love how open and comfortable bai jinyi is to his lifestyle and how he constantly does things he wouldn't normally do. i love how they care for each other in the most mature and spiritually uplifting way and how their romance just makes them a better person both in and out of their careers. salad days is a masterpiece. i normaly wouldn't add books i haven't read to my lists, but the story is already too good to get bad. i love it so much

for one, im not a huge fan of the omegaverse. i know the basics though, most ive read pertaining the genre—tbh they were horrible. but this, they highlighted the discrimination and prejudice the way its always been in the real world. i love naoto, god i know he’s a fictional character because no man is that good. he’s just a pure and loving partner and adores his kids; whether it’s his blood or not and i love him for that. i kinda want kids now (/ _ ; )

THIS is a mature relationship. consensual and communicative while simultaneously never ove bearing. they just love each other to the point that talking and voicing out opinions isn't something they fear to appear as a flaw in their partners eyes. they are just living and breathing in each others love and warmth that they continue to grow as individuals who faces their fears despite everything

i hated the senpai at first because he was an asshole and he seemed homophobic even, but im glad at his character development. it was a nice, slow-paced romance about loving someone enough to want them and loving them more than enough to want to be loved back. the art is beautiful and spring came before them. i am a fan of kii kanna, they’re one of the best mangakas out there!
