    I mean we'll see since it's still updating. They may have gotten the tags wrong though.

    If its chinese we'll be lucky if they even kiss at all like. I prolly wont read it bc Chinese stories literally just tease you and it gets annoying like perpetual tension that never goes anywhere bc of censors. Idk if I'm wrong and theres decent romance ill def read it if not, I'm good

    I just read all 144 chapters and it's a bromance with a little bit of maybe one sided romantic affection (if you look at it cross eyed) I see the romance as click bait bc the reality that I just saw reads more as deep brotherly affection/loyalty and not romantic affection. There are no kisses or anything of the sort just affectionate hugs that lean more towards brotherly than anything else.

    Np it's still rly good. It's a very complex political story I do recommend it just not for the romance

    Wow, that's really disappointing. I kind of lose all respect for manga when they queerbait. It's really scummy.

    I agree but I went into this expecting this type of "love" story that in addition to chinese censors. Honestly though I've read Here U Are for example a real chinese bl and it was a romance granted the official sexy scenes were censored you could still say 'Ah this is a romance' this story is nothing of the sort. Shounen-ai tag is queerbait maybe in the future things will change but right now its bromance but the story is still a good one if you like political dramas. I only really like them when theres a love story or enough comedy to lift the heaviness of the drama so idk if I'll actually finish reading this story.

    Queer-baiting is where they tease a relationship but refuse to commit to acknowledging that it's more than friendship. In Here U Are, the nature of their relationship is very clear. Sex isn't explicitly shown but the aftermath makes it clear that's what happened. But even without the off-cam sex, it would still not be queer-baiting because they've outright said they're a couple. They're dating, holding hands, having this big romance thing.

    Shounen-ai usually doesn't end up queer-baiting for that reason. It's just non-explicit gay romance. The relationship is still there, still acknowledged. There's just no sex.

    Yea, and I truly dont see them ever committing to a real romantic relationship between the emperor and the prime minister. The authors just created a beautiful bromance and dance around their relationship with "vague" affectionate hugs. Like I said the story is good, the love story none existant lol shounen-ai tag is bait
