Did a major fight caused by a misunderstanding get resolved on top of a confession happening within the span of a few panels?? Wow. Usually angst like this drags out for at least five chapters, if not the entire length of the series, lol. Authors just love making Ms. Misunderstanding the personality trait of a BL instead of momentary mood.
I'm happy to see Qu Cheng be explicit about his sexuality, saying "I'm not interested in women so I wouldn't have a child." I feel like that kind of statement isn't prevalent in yaoi for some reason. Not that I ever doubted Cheng's love for Peacock, but it eased some of the lingering doubt that creeps up at the back of my fujo mind sometimes.
In the first volume, the only reason that Kuroi rejected Touma's persistent advances was because he didn't want the person he loved to get involved in dangerous affairs. They've had physical relations for a long time too, despite their occupational differences. Still, I'm hesitant to say Kuroi loves Touma the way Touma loves him -I feel more of a familial love than a passionate one, if anything. Not that subdued love is any more or less than an explicit one, but I do understand Touma's concerns.
Edit: SIKE bitch! He DOES love Touma the same way. So happy I was wrong (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Homesis MC is what? At least in her 20s or 30s in terms of mental age right? She's had multiple lives before this one as well. Even in this current incarnation, I thought she was around 10 years old. Why is she so... helpless? The average preteen isn't so gullible and frail. Makes the MC's personality totally unrealistic and unlikable. Hope to see some character development from her soon; she definitely needs it, especially in the middle of a major war. Yikes.
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
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.
