Y’all know what a baby lark is? My mom autocorrected to “baby shark” the first time I read the latest chapter but the second run-through made me realize I was totally off, lol.
from what i remember its a type of bird, its very cute and small
Thanks! Makes sense in the context of this story. Also, I meant to say “mind” not “mom” but thanks for answering (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Uke-kun seems like a masochist to me. He disobeyed his master’s order to not get hurt because he was anticipating his punishment. I, too, cry in sexual situations if I’m in that kind state -typically during kinky play. Not because I’m not enjoying it, but rather, the situation is intensely overwhelming. Maybe that’s why I don’t see the uke as a victim.
I agree. I wanted to be in his position the entire time so maybe my opinion shouldn’t be trusted. However, I feel like a lot of the people that are calling it rape would be surprised at how many people are actually into sex like this. I have a feeling most of these comments are from minors or from really naive people who don’t know that masochists can get like this
Thank you. I don’t know why Vanilla’s try to read stories like this. If it’s not your cup of tea, don’t force yourself sweetheart. I was disappointed to see the overwhelming comments calling the seme a rapist just because the uke is crying. Felt invalidated as a masochist, honestly.
The significance of Ganta’s name was mentioned in the manga, but the nuance is lost for those who don’t know Japanese and/or for those who aren’t familiar with WWII history. The characters used for Ganta’s name (丸太) can either be read as “ganta” or “maruta.” During WWII, the code name for test subjects used in inhumane biowarfare experiments were called “maruta,” which literally means “log.” To hide evidence of human experimentation, the imperial Japanese army referred to the prisoners as “logs,” which I believe is the parallel to the experimentation done to Shiro/Ganta. See “Unit 731” for more details if you’re interested, but I implore you to proceed with caution. Very cruel and gruesome details.
Seems like the English translation is 20 chapters behind. Has this been dropped by the scanlation team? It’s been awhile.
As of now, the crew is at a solid ten members. Each one has an ambition and title: greatest swordsman, greatest navigator, greatest sniper, greatest cook, greatest doctor, greatest archaeologist, greatest shipwright, greatest musician, greatest helmsman, and of course, the Pirate King. What would Carrot and Yamato be? There really aren't any more core roles to be filled. I suppose they could be part of the fighting team, but not sure if their aspirations match those of the PK's crew.
But in the beginning of the story, Luffy said he wanted 10 crewmates to join him. There's forums online discussing what position the new person would have. They currently have a captain, first mate, navigator, cook, doctor, gunner, shipwright, scholar/historian, musician and helmsman. They don't have a lookout or a quartermaster. A lookout makes more sense for the 10th crewmate since the quartermaster is just an extra. I think they should get someone that can fly since they currently dont have good air support.
Do I think Yamato or Carrot will join the crew? No. They've travelled with several people for long periods of time and then not included them in the crew (like Vivi). There's been no hints that Luffy wants to invite either of them.
Makes sense. I guess I feel uncomfortable for another person to join 1000 chapters in. I got used to the current members' dynamic. Imo Jimbei hasn't gotten used to being a Straw Hat yet, so adding another crewmember on top of that.... Hm.
I get you. I honestly feel the same way. There's supposed to be like 4-5 more years left (so 200-300 more chapters). Hopefully Jinbe and whoever joins next (if Oda doesnt change his mind about adding one more person) assimilates into the group before the end. Also, lately the crew is all split apart. There hasn't been many crew bonding chapters since Jinbe joined. It was more like going straight to war. He hasn't really been given a chance to truly become part of the group. He barely even appears.
And all crewmates got their own sob story that led them into joining the crew. Jinbe didn't really get that. He just popped up after being MIA for a while and joined the crew. He didn't get an arc that focused on him like everyone else did. His joining was abrupt
Is that so? I wasn't aware that we were already around 70% done with OP. I agree with everything you've said. Thanks for responding with such sincerity and clarity!
just fellow one piece fans mingling
Bellamy kinda fits the mold. He's prob gonna be one of the best dyers out there, making endurable flags. I dont personally want him to join (I don't really like him lol) but he suits the theme of best ___smth___. And he has Luffy's vivre card. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Makes sense to me. Even though he retired from being a pirate and is currently making flags and stuff, I do think we'll see him again
It's clear that there's still international interest for Yona of the Dawn and the reception for Season 1 of the anime was good as well. There's enough material for Season 2. Wondering how to petition for the anime adaptation.
Why do mangakas include one-shots in the middle of the storyboard? Especially if they're unresolved and clearly require a sequel like chapter 5? #StopTheCockTease #JusticeForOneShots
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
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.
Sweety noooooo! You were doing so well until that creepy ass confession at the end admitting to isolating uke-chan from peers. That's a major red flag and sign of a potential abuser. This was one of my most anticipated reads so Imma have to pretend that didn't happen cuz goddamn.
