Planning to buy this in the future Authors always face problems of not getting their full ideas laid out and published because it's common that editors pressure them to fit their stories in limited pages, satisfy general consumers, or both. That's why I hope we can give them the assurance that their works are well-received by buying their manga and then finding ways to compliment them about it (share to others or leave postive reviews on their socmed/review sites). This way they're most probably be able to have more freedom for their future works and have less limitations to work on their ideas
I'm not forcing everyone too but I just hope I can inspire other people to. I myself am having a hard time buying stuff as I'm in a family earning below average income in a 3rd world country. But I strive and hope to pay back these authors one day for giving me so much joy, and I know others are like me too. Let's work hard!
I buy them all the time, it really is important. I keep a lost and buy them if I can and then when I get them I delete them from the list. My hubs thinks I’m weird because “why are all your favorite books shrink wrapped? Don’t you plan to read them?” Shhhhhh don’t tell him.
Omg I'd literally do the same as you. I'll be too anxious if it'll get damaged even a bit and so will treat it like an item in a museum, never to be touched
Thank you so much for sharing it inspires me so much more to buy works from my fave authors and just the books I love. It'll serve as my life goal at least
I'll start buying all these when I saved enough moneyyyy I really want to support them
Same. I get really motivated myself when I hear others wanting to buy them as well. Let's do our best
I loved it! The plot/premise is amazing and I really loved how it started. The characters are well-built too and I especially loved the seme - Ryo, his hardships were incomparable and I loved his relationship with his father.
The author had so much plans for the main couple just to be packed into 8 chapters so if I may say my selfish concerns I really wish it could've been longer. That way, the development could've been slower and gradual. The ideas for the plot progression were really good and I loved how it moved from one point to another but since (I guess) the publication was limited, the stories were sadly rushed some major events most likely spanned for just a week or 2 which is really very fast.
One I'd like to point out is aoi moving on from his bother, midori. It just took about one day: aoi crying about it, aoi getting fucked by ryo, aoi waking up and realizes he needs to talk to his bro properly, aoi developing feelings - moreover kano getting attacked, and then ryo getting relieved of his bodyguard duties. It really was so fast. The climatic parts at the near end too felt overly dramatic for me because the pacing was too fast. Also I felt like some issues were overlooked/not properly worked on: like aoi bullying ryo before, and aoi leaving his family (it would actually have more complications than what was presented and I know the author would've worked on it more if given the opportunity - judging how well thought the premise and ideas actually were).
But still I really loved it and that's exactly why I feel a strong frustration cause this might've become a stronger masterpiece if given the time and money for longer volume releases
