bodyodyodyodyody's manga / #ANGST(35)

I have ptsd with kare wa tomodachi but this is so kare wa tomodachi vibes but more tolerable still made me want to rip my hair out tho

(ch 81) The thing with the ml is I feel conflicted. Because fl is the primary main character, I despise the ml for not trusting her because we knew she was innocent. But honestly, had he been the primary main character and we saw his pov, fl was very very very suspicious and plus with the fact that she couldn’t tell the truth and no one knew she was under a curse, the ml’s actions aren’t that irredeemable because they had good reasoning behind them, at least reasons that make sense. Though doesn’t mean J love the male lead because he was an ass hat, I do think this instance of him not trusting her makes sense realistically. But bruh…once the translations and art got better this manhwa had me HOOKED in the same way that What It Means to Be You despite the fact that I dropped it ages ago. Cant wait 4 the next chapter

Gaddamn I'm really really glad I read this when I was older. When I was 13 I tried reading like a few chapters but I dropped it cause I didn't like the whole dead ex trope and stuff and just forgot about it. Picked it up again when I saw it at half-priced books and decide to give it a shot. The first half is them in highschool and all the petty highschool drama shoujo stuff you get, but the second half takes a turn and has a time skip of 5 years into the future where Yano (male lead) goes no contact. A lot of people don't like time skips but I'm really glad this one had one. In their highschool days, it technically could've ended like that, with Yano going to his mother's place and him and Nana doing long distance and somehow working out, but it would've felt like something was missing. I feel like the author ahd the plan to make it like this from the beginning, as Yano really healed by the end of the manga. If I read it when I was younger, I don't think I would be able to grasp that and would probably shit on this manga for being too unnecessarily complicated. I could get all deep about this but basically I think it was supposed to be complicated because relationships are complicated. Also there were a lot of banger lessons/quotes in this manga that really resonated especially in the second half. I don't think this is for everyone though. It is a romance, but I def view it as more of a coming of age/yano's healing process after dealing with everyone he's lost in his life. i think the best part of this manga was that I really noticed just how young they were when they got so deep into their relationship. They were just kids who made stupid kid decisions and it affected the outcome of their relationships 5 years into the future. Just again I think it just depends on your perspective and if you'd like it or not. I would've liked it even if nana didn't end up with yano or if she ended up with take or if she ended up with no one. It's just a very sentimental manga
