apwepuee's manga / #straightforward love interest(8)

another day where i give 5 stars to a manga with deteriorating relationships bcs of 'accuracy and realism!!!!' (i will never witness anyone having an authentic long term soul fulfilling relationship irl as they are all doomed to fail within 2 weeks in our immediatist dopamine addicted generation)

i keep seeing a persistent antiromantic narrative specifically done in japanese works and i am honestly not complaining abt it satoru was very aro coded in the first vol but had a bit of a character shift in the second. i kind of missed the blunt communication that he and shishio used to have, but their development was really well done, so i see no problem.

wholesome bl full of clichés nothing happens almost falling down the stairs = happy ending
