I was really enjoying this story until Chapter 6. It's a necessary chapter, mind you, and it's clear from the ending that Mikado was able to experience some growth in character. His actions seemed to hurt the seme though in the process and there wasn't any indication that the uke ever apologized or lessened the seme's insecurity.
Jesus. The final season of AOT is here, so I decided to catch up on the manga. I am...speechless, to say the least. Can't believe my past six years being dedicated to this franchise will end with my heart in tatters. I don't care much for how this story will end; no matter what, the sense of loss and desolation will be difficult to fill. Currently 6am -haven't slept a wink and I have a final exam later today- and I am an absolute trainwreck.
So... the long-awaited finale is that they realize their love for each other but they still go onto their separate ways? What? Is there a sequel or....
Geto, PLEASE don't save Mahito. The motherfucker's been alive for the past 100 chapters and has killed off way too many of my favored characters. Sick and tired of seeing his face, and frankly, this arc about him has dragged on for a bit too long. It's time to move on to the next antagonist.
FR I AM JUST WAITING FOR THIS GUY TO HAVE THE WORST DEATH OF THEM ALL
yeah..me too.. he caused to much death and sufferings already.. like I wanna crush his whole personality even though he’s really cute
Not people saying he's cute
I feel conflicted about how to process Isabelle's character. It's difficult to admit she's improved when we've collectively shat on her for 50+ chapters lol.
Right I don’t want to stop anytime soon. She’s just as annoying as she used to be but she’s not completely useless
I'm pretty sure the purpose of this book is to incorporate BL with short scary stories, or 怪談 in Japanese. These narratives are loosely connected together, but each chapter is supposed to be its own stand-alone story. That's why if you try to make sense of the plot as a whole, it'll be confusing to understand. Just a different mode of story-telling compared to the usual.
When BL mangas mention something along the lines of "Oh no, you're not gay," I don't necessarily think the intention is to deny someone's sexuality. In a place where homosexuality isn't validated socially nor legally, I think admitting that one is "gay" comes with the unspoken acceptance of the biases, stigmas, and consequences of being attracted to the same sex. You're not really "gay" unless you come out of the closet, kind of thing. Does that make sense? So when characters say that someone is "straight," that person is straight-passing whereas a fully "gay" character has accepted their minority status. Different cultures have different connotations when it comes to language and the ideal representation behind words.
Can someone please clarify the conflict here? I understand that Wonyoung got reinstated, but I'm not sure about the rumors.
same im confuseddd
Basically, he thought he got his job back bc he told Mr Jung about Taejoon's whereabouts and there were rumours about him getting in through connections due to that. When in reality, he got his job back bc he was proven as innocent and it just happened to be at the same time as when they found out about Taejoon. And the Mr Jung guy just lied to both of them and took credit for finding Taejoon and making a contract with him. I think lol
Omg that slime ball
Why did the Heresy Inquisitor come again? I forgot why this whole arc happened. What is a Heresy Inquisitor anyways?
Someone that harshly investigates people that do not follow the major religion. He was looking for an otherworlder from the tournament.
I've read other BLs with the "hikkomori falls in love" trope, but this one wasn't as wholesome as I had wanted it to be. I think the delivery guy was too aggressive and forceful in trying to get the guy to take his mask off. Would've hoped for a more patient partner.
YESTHANKYOU
trying to force someone out of their comfort zones in is not healthy and can actually end up making things worse especially when using threats such as "then we can't be friends" for your own personal benefits and wants
