vers4i's manga / #Romance(71)

in all honesty, i’ve been off putting this manga since i thought that they would make the size gap into some pedophilic nonsense and it made me back away for a while. i just finished reading it and I WISH I COULD SMACK MY PAST SELF WHAT THE FUCK THIS MANGA IS SO GOOD! the way they uplift and support each other through their differences and love themselves because of it is just so heartwarming :( everything about this manga is just so beautifully drawn and written and the characters are so humane. i feel like im looking through the eyes of a child being told a bedtime story and it’s just so magnificent. i loved it so much i could cry

i love how none of them have toxic masculinity and how the dark haired guy shares the same interests and concerns as the other without making it feel like a burden. they just genuinely love each other and gender is just apart of that and god that’s so cute. they’re dog is so cute. the way they love and uplift each other is so cute. everything is just :(

i cried. arima deserves so much more and i see his struggles with gender within me. the way he's conflicted then angry then afraid and then resulting to random outbursts of violence to keep everyone away is just so heartbreaking. i love taiga so much. he's a hero and he will continue to be one. my no.1 cocky homo bastard <33 FUCK IT THIS SHITS SO DEPRESSING

NAKAMURA IS SO DAMN ADORABLE WHAT THE FUCK ?!?!? his little attempts and plans to talk to hirose were so heartwarming and just purely adorable :( hirose’s friends are assholes and im glad they’re friends now (hopefully more!) hehe i loved this so much its so ugh

kou was a victim, narumi was a manipulator. futaba was partly wrong for agreeing to date kukichi but he tool her emotional distress as an advantage. kou is not some deranged sick male interest that has a slightly tragic backstory—the way he acts and distances himself is realistic. stop hating actual protrayal of mental illness to the media if you’re only going to put malice on the effects of it you don’t agree or romanticize. mentally unstable people are assholes sometimes. sometimes for a reason, never an excuse.

WHAT THE FUCK THEY ARE SO ADORABLE?! yamato is just this ball of sunshine and mitsumi just looks at him directly in the eyes and gazes over him fondly despite the pain of bightness :( they are each other's home and they never left once they found it

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

the height difference, the hair, the personalities, dynamic and the motherfucking childhood friends to lovers ... i cannot help but see iwaioi in this ㅠ~ㅠ
