I have a love/hate relationship with this mangaka's art style.
On one hand, it's undoubtably beautiful...
On the other, it's too feminine.
Like, I wouldn't mind if the uke was drawn like this for only one manga, but it's like this for all the works I've read so far. I think a 'boy' should be drawn like a 'boy' with masculin features, even if they are the uke.

    'a 'boy' should be drawn like a 'boy' with masculine features' you just sound like you are stereotyping guys. a man can look and be feminine and still be a "man". besides, its the artists style, you don't have to like it.

    Yeah, I have to agree with you a little there. It's just an opinion, so I don't understand all the downvotes(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ

    I love the art by this mangaka. But I agree that the uke's body line is too woman alike. That's what I tought all the time.

    Am I stereotyping? Men have masculin features that women do not have BIOLOGICALLY. Like, an Adam's apple, broader shoulders, ect. Of course, there are exceptions to this, but as I stated, all the other works that I've read from her are like this.
    Also, I said I have a "Love/Hate" relationship with the mangaka's work. I don't dislike it. I'm just giving my opinion.

    I agree with you it's not about stereotyping, it's simply the fact that Ai's masculinity is completely downplayed. That is just not how a male body looks

    smfh you're sounding stupider and stupider, not gonna bother arguing with some who has a "love/hate relationship" with the art. wtf does that even mean. you either love it or you hate it. you cleaaaaarly make it seem like you hate it. and wtf do you mean by BIOLOGICALLY?ITS HER STYLE, which you seem to clearly not like, and this is manga. its not supposed to look like real life. and also learn how to spell masculine before using the word.

    bruh, hes supposed to look womanly, that was the point of the story, and even if she draws her ukes who look like"women" whatever the fuck that means, its her art style deal with it or go read bara where i'm sure the men look "masculine enough" for you

    Haha.
    I love when people try to get the upper hand by pointing out grammar, and spelling . Is that supposed to make me feel bad?
    Like, I said before: I have a love/hate relationship with it. If you don't understand that simple concept, aren't you the stupid one? I'm stating my opinion on somthing from her work that I don't like. There are clearly others who feel the same way who have commented on here.
    I don't really understand why you feel the need to insult me. I used "biologically" because you said I was "stereotyping guys" which was one of the oddest response I got.
    But anyways. You need to calm down. I stated my opinion, and found others who agree. It doesn't mean I hate the mangaka. I just have preferences that don't agree with theirs. There's no need to start a war over it.
    Go take a nap.

    i love how people think that i try to use the upper hand by pointing out their grammar mistakes to make them feel bad. and? there was something wrong with your spelling so i spelled it out correctly for you, because you clearly don't know how to spell masculine when google is right there. you clearly don't understand what you said " I think a 'boy' should be drawn like a 'boy' with masculin features, even if they are the uke." that is a stereotype, its like saying all girls should be and look feminine and all men should look and act manly, when clearly the world doesn't work like that. and what the fuck do you mean there are exceptions to that? the definition for exception is - a person or thing that is excluded from a general statement or does not follow a rule- wtf there is NO SUCH RULE stating that men HAS to look manly for them to be a man. how about a transgender man, he has no Adams apple or broad shoulders, does that make him any less than a man? no.

    Again, attempting to draw the conversation to my spelling when you know you're obviously losing the argument. It's cute.
    I keep on having to reiterate what I've already said. Maybe if you actually read my comment, you would see that I wrote the uke "is drawn like this for all the works I've read so far" from this mangaka. This "stereotype" that you're trying to prove I'm saying isn't a stereotype. Men have masculine features women aren't born with. Like I said before, since you didn't understand the first time, there are obvious exceptions to this, but for the majority, it is what it is.
    Which brings me to another point—
    I'm glad that you brought up a transgender man. Thank you. Thank you so much, because this proves that you (1) didn't read my comment, and (2) you don't know what the heck you're arguing with me for.
    My dear, this is why I specifically said "biologically" and in my first comment I also wrote 'boy' in quotations. The only difference between a transgender man, and a man who was born a "man" IS THEIR BIOLOGY. THATS IT.
    However, the uke doesn't identify as a transgender man, does he? No. He is simply drawn to look feminine. Something that this mangaka does a lot. Do I dislike it? Yes. Do I think the artwork is still beautiful? Yes.
    Since you are so good at reading, I need you to also COMPREHEND what I'm saying. Thanks.

    and i have said over and over again that its the mangagka's style, so YOU clearly cant comprehend my comment, sweetheart, and youre STILL talking about biology and exceptions. EXCEPTIONS, again is - a person or thing that is excluded from a general statement or does not follow a rule- THERE ARE NO SUCH RULE THAT A MAN HAS TO LOOK A CERTIN WAY TO BE A MAN smh talking about biology again. the only reason why you keep saying shit like biology and how men and woman are born a certain way is because youre parents didnt raise you right. clearly society has warped your mind in someway, right, my dear? im not gonna argue with a child about shit their parents couldn't teach them . if you want manly buff masculine men go read bara i'll provide you with links.

    Loooool, okay, my parents didn't raise me right about BIOLOGY???
    I'm not even gonna touch on this "rule" thing, because your whole argument is out of context. Why are you talking about "society"? Can you not comprehend what "biology" actually means? Google that definition, please.
    Biology is science. Please read a book.
    What's really funny here is not only have you tried comming after my spelling, my family, but now SOCIETY? Are you running out of ideas to make yourself seem stupider?
    You have provide me with enough Lols for a lifetime.

    Lmao that was NOT the point of the story...besides the artist could easily have drawn Ai like any normal skinny highschool boy but she chose to draw him feminine-like cuz the implication is that he is strong and tough yet beautiful
