well shit's manga / #so tender(140)

No words can entirely encompass what i feel for this story. From the plot to the characters to the world building and relationships AND the dynamics OHHHHH just spectacular from start to finish, the author really grabbed me by the neck and led me down MERCILESSLY towards the plot and characters like i genuinely could not put this story down? Its so fucking good and intriguing? And each revelation had me gripping the sheets and screaming???? HOLY SHIT???? Full meltdown will be said once this story fully completes AHHH this is definitely sharing a top 1 with kings maker, just. It had everything ive ever wanted my god i cant wait to see how everything unfolds in this one AHHHHHH we have yearning, TONS OF yearning, self sacrificial mc, whipped and lovestruck ml(s?), MC WHUMP!!!!! Its just EVERYTHING i love it so much oh my god

i did not expect this story to actually go in depth with the environment and story of all its characters? Especially the vampire aspect of it?? Its so fucking good, literally all the relationships and dynamics are here, and theres lesbians too my goodness? I love love love how the author ventured around the sense of loss the vampires go through, like sugi and momiji? Their chapters were the most heart breaking tbh :( but like in a good way bc u can see them overcoming it and trying to move on TTT Also biggest fucking shout out to masaki and his wife’s relationship AUGHHHHH i know masaki is technically older but lawd be bagged himself a milf oh hes so!!! Good for him!!! What a happy married man!!! i love them so much!! Genuinely wouldnt mind if the whole series is just en and ichii going door to door solving vampire problems ala violet evergarden honestly? This would be a solid GREAT anime. I hope this becomes an anime… ALSO i adoreeeee En so much its so smart for the author to expand the world of vampires theough en’s eyes and it must be a fresh change of perspective for the vampires around him too!! Hes really their baby

the part where he said he wanted to buy graves for the both of them and kazuhiko smiled and said “dont you know? i cant sleep without being next to you anymore” triggered my tears so quickly never have i teared up that quickly over a line jesus christ. The scene where they wrote their wills and it being practically the same and “sharing my time with you was the greatest joy of my life” was so sweet, god i hope i get to experience this kind of love in the future

i genuinely really love the way yuki’s character is written, i was prepared for the story to just have an easy fix it-fuck and boom theyre together but the fact that the author actually made yuki to be the one who Wants to put an end to his feelings and Actually doing something about it (moving out far etc) is so refreshing to see? Its MY flavour of angst especially when the ml has a moment for himself where he reflected his actions and emotions for yuki. Also love how yuki still feels guilty about their relationship and the author actually expanded on that instead of reducing it to just a “my sister’s flowers blossomed! This must be a sign of her blessing! Thank u sis!” situation LMAO i was holding my breath wondering if that would happen but thank GOD it didnt AAA i love comfort angst like this!! Especially when its well paced and had Reasonable conflict to begin with (the aching guilt!!!! the repression!!!! the self loathing!!!) I wouldnt mind if this was 20 chapters long of yuki trying to move on vs ml trying his Best to win and convince yuki back. Like the yearning would have hit even better that way lmao but this is great too!! The ml and ex wife was written so nicely and no one was an antagonist in this :00 Always been on the fence about mc x brother in law stories bc of how rushed and lacking the characters often are which is such a waste bc its the perfect landmine for angst lmao so to see this one achieving in portraying the angst of the dynamic, im very satisfied lmao 10/10 bittersweet hurt comfort story!

Reallyyyyyy love the development in characters here, especially how realistic it was with how miyabj handled his dookie ass family hes better than me bc if i were him i would have wished them hell but then again he deserves to have that closure,, very cute very nice hurt comfort story, other than the awkward dialogues/panel pacings sometimes which im guessing its the tl problem :00 either way its a nice 4am read

Love love love the author’s art style so much it feels very intimate and full of love its so good!!! The anatomy and clothing folds are amazing too aaaa love this trope i will eat it everytime

That made me cry a bit woahhdjej i genuinely love the approach the author is going for in terms of serena’s character development, and i also really love how all the characters interact with each other, they dont feel flat or unimportant to the plot somehow? Its nicely written! Especially for a heavy topic like this :0 Also im so so glad that the author didnt cop out from selena’s suicidal tendencies/thoughts by making her magically fall in love with someone lmao i was so worried theyd do that and im happy they didnt!!! The scene where her lil sister ran after the train and telling she was sorry made me cryyyyy like that was so needed to hear for selena, in a way she finally received some sort of closure for her past life and the author wrote that scene well! Looking forward to see selena’s road to self healing and self acceptance!! ian better know psychiatry bc my girl needs therapy IMMENSELY lmao

REGRESSION BUT IN THE EYES OF THE DAUGHTER AHHHHHH VERY CUTEEEEEE the art is phenomenal it felt like watching a movie it transitions to the next panel/scene so fucking fluidly im OBSESSED this is definitely gonna be good!!!!!!!! REALLY excited at how all of this will turn out. Currently stopped at ch7 of bck scans

ITS BL WITH THE POWER OF DESSERTS AHHHHHHHHH IM SO JEALOUS OF MIZUNOOOOOOOOOOOOO AHHH GOOD FOR THEM GOOD FOR THEM

I love this so much oh my god im obsessed THIS IS IT THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WANTINGGGGGG the pacing the yearning it was perfect im so happy author took their time in setting the stage for the readers to understand the characters and the progression that leads up to their relationship AHHH i love how endearingly new the mc was to everything and his thoughts and feelings during the first part of the story was so real especially when he kept trying to rationalize his assumptions about the ml etc LIKE… it feels so authentic? Even the reasoning behind the ml’s actions and his feelings about them and mc everything was valid, the writing for these characters didnt felt lazy or half assed at all, it was written really really well. I have to give kudos to the author for this!! Another big favourite part is the title panel!!!!!!!! Its such a creative way to input the progression in story telling on the title panel. The title panel was even something i look forward to seeing in each chapter bc it felt like it adds a nuanced layer to the ongoing plot that was going on in the chapter. My favouriteeeee is in s1 where after mc confessed, the paper was crumpled, folded and even was about to tear in half. Seeing that felt like a punch to the gut, it was so fucking good lmao i think i audibly let out an “oh no…” it just adds another layer of depth to the mc’s character its just so fucking genius. The post it for s2 is fucking great as well. This story is steadily becoming my favourite vanilla bl, definitely a page turner just bc of how fun it is to see them navigate around their relationship. The slow burn was executed so well and the YEARNINGGGGHHHHHH THE PININGGGG even the soft angst!!!!!!!!! oh the author rlly ate it up. Like they know what theyre doing lmao. Just a really well written, well paced and likable characters all around. Perfect 10/10!!!
