moody_bish's manga / #slice of life(91)

Im not much for globalization and im somewhat conservative about a culture rooted in nature learning to adapt to a powerful modernized country. The future exploitation scares me but this one is wholesome and gives you that positive change of two cultures meeting. Words fail me right now but Im in love with this ️

Ah seriously! ️ Season 2 was a blast and I'm so glad they didnt end it at season 1 The growth, the development, the redemption, and the binding relationships

At first I was hesitant because Minjae caught feelings so quickly and even when their bodies switch, they are very much conscious of each other's soul than looking at their face and body like lucid dreaming. But by the 2nd season, the 1st season made more sense and there weren't much plot holes to be wary off. I'm glad the author held on to this story to the extent of going to Australia. This may be supernatural but it gave that element of learning about Australian aboriginals (of this I don't have knowledge of). The author took the opportunity to broadcast queer love as something as normal as binary relationships. The wedding scene really grabbed my heart because it wasnt used as another obstacle, rather an opportunity which Minjae's sister and Woochan took. I'm in love with this story ️

It deals with identity. A man who loathes his body because he desires to be a woman. A writer who aims to leave a masterpiece like a genius dying young. A tomboy dressing feminine for a man she desires. An infertile woman who desires to choose her path but chose to be obedient. This isn’t even BL, but it does show a man loving another. This is a story about three “women” desiring a man who couldn’t love.

There’s like three stories here maybe? The childhood besties are the ones that swept me off my feet so even if I vaguely remember the stories, it’s the one that I appreciate most. Next is the honor student who got caught by that playboy. They didnt end up together and looked more to be newly found friends which is nice ‘cause it deviates from the typical blackmailing. The way the black haired boy comforted him like it was just a typical heartbreak was also heartwarming. The way they showed up at the basketball game was even funnier.

Sexy and sensual! It just makes the main couple’s connection more alluring. It’s nice that this sister-brother relationship is very healthy and supportive. I’m still a little curious about Masa’s background but seeing that they are happy with each other, I’ll let it slide. Also, their friend’s unexpected position in bed is so unexpected but expected at the same time. He’s so masculine HAHAHA. I wish Miyoshi is happier now.

Darn it! This universe of Minore no Te (and the three more stories line up to it) really highlights that masculine aura. I mean, having read most of Beriko-sensei’s works, their good with highlighting that masculinity. The balanced assertiveness and dominance. That atmosphere of reliability and solid foundation. Even the natural weaknesses that would seem non-masculine or wimpy is emphasize to bring out the most of their character development. Gahhh so much love for this, too!

Grr! The level of sensuality is just bursting through the roof! Nezomi x Tatsuya just gives you that ideal attachment and relationship. Also the way Tatsuya just make love with Nozomi and blatantly show off to Rogi —! And how Nozomi lived his life in trauma but with the purpose of being both the ideal man and woman in Tatsuya’s eyes. Unforgettable, this one! UNBEATABLE!

A sadist and an airhead that actually meet halfway?? A healthy and positive relationship where the couple pull each other for the better?? A beautifully drawn story where the seme isn’t just a whimsical egoist who leads the uke around but actually wholeheartedly loves his partner?? An uke who intentionally makes the seme happy?? This is it. The ideal relationship where both partners give as much as they receive instead of hurting their partner when they’re insecure.

Masato must have been one of the reasons why canines are a feature I tend to notice quickly. His character is relatable and admirable because though he hurt others and tries to redeem himself after, he doesnt deny what he’s done. Even his reason to leave wasn’t just about what he did but how their relationship would affect Asahi. In his defense, even if he tests people’s relationships, he managed to see beyond the two of them and put Kousei’s value to Asahi in consideration.
