blueberry's manga / #Attachment issues(178)

Pretty good stories, the character archetypes weren’t exactly my cuppa tea tho

Very sweet with a dash of past traumatic miseryporn lol (one of those typical estranged from parents and turned to thuglyfe kinda past) The side stories and the HEA were really cute tho

Dis some heavy sht ngl Not a guilty pleasure angst but we’ll-written

Guilty pleasure angst with family drama is strong here :D With the author’s storytelling skills, I feel the angst/drama could’ve been drawn out for longer…oh well, it was a great read nonetheless Seme so cute! Uke’s so damn cool! They’re so fkn cute together!!!!!!!!! They’re so sweet to each other I’m AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA All characters had great depth. Very awesome read

Super interesting how Dojin (seme) is autistically coded :0 Author took a really careful approach in making sure he comes off as a true humane character, even amongst his faults and socially unacceptable actions. Loved it so much! Also super cool how Euntak came around to understanding Dojin like he should and would, given his personality type. Awesomeeeeeeeeeeeee Very realistic portrayals of relationship development, conflicts and resolutions. Albeit very few parts might’ve been a little idealized or cliche, it was overall amazingly done. I do say that with a cynical lens tho cuz I’ve seen too many unhappy families LOL. Their happy family dynamics are so wholesome The second pairing was the archetypal stray cat + golden retriever dynamic, one of my favs hehe. Cuties Author is a genius frfr. Reading their creator notes makes me fully appreciate their big brain for character, plot, and conflict development. I can tell they out a lot of research into Dojin’s personality and really appreciate that they decided to keep his personality disorder vague (out of respect for the disabled groups and to prevent readers from forming biases from their work. They acknowledged their own lack of training/info about mental disorders enough to make responsible decisions in their character designs…I respect them so much.) I can also tell the author decided to omit family issues cuz the societal conflict between the MCs were plenty enough angst LOL. The family characters were all so wholesome and sweet. If I was gay and reading Dojin’s mother’s and Euntak’s dad’s lines, I would’ve cried my heart out for hours. So accepting and loveable, so much love and care.

The drama did oscillate back and forth a little too much lol but a great read nonetheless. The novel seems like it was written well, too bad it’s not fully translated. The few fan-translated excerpts were really nice. Considering what they did to sabotage each other (mostly uke’s actions) it’s hard to believe a blooming love would arise from that,,,Their “first love” and feelings of lingering crush sure was…strong.

Seme is a sus mtherfker WASS GOIN ON uke’s a bit of a narcissist but not by choice it seems lol. Just haven’t been able to find a good crowd to ground him from his doting parents Aight reading this more I’m really liking the angst. The teenage anxiety is cranked up to the nth degree with this kid, ah good memories Translations are wonky ch4 onwards but translator does their best and honestly it’s decent enough to understand what’s going on. The element of angst stays well enough so it’s still an enjoyable read

Aw HELL YEAH The start was a bit wonky in morals but whatever I’ll let that slide cuz I do be liking the story a lot scratched the good itch of “comforting overworked Uke” hehe, the angst and comfort were very fun reads Got its good cute moments too, and amazing wholesome scenes Also super fkn hilarious??? Author’s really good at comedy

3.5-4* Cute and sweet :) Solid story, albeit a little plain. I liked it tho
