Spoilers if you haven't read all of volume 7:
I feel really bad for Machi because she's one adorable girl, but Takahashi-sensei has now made it clear that he's not only interested in Saki but he likes her already (chapter 49, page 16).
I also loved that Saki talked Takahashi-sensei into properly replying to Machi, because she deserves to get an answer for her feelings. Saki-sensei is a wonderful being as well, so I hope the ship sails without drama soon!
When Hayato was talking about his brothers, all I could think was how cute it was. He's truly devoted to them and you can see just how good he is (a kind adult and brother). They truly don't deserve someone as great as him, so I'm glad they won't go after him anymore. He's way better off without them, and finding someone who will love him for who he is and will also love the brothers as well (╬￣皿￣)凸
Since I read the raws I can confirm many parts were missing, AND THE BEST PART AT THE END IS GONE TOO (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ (will say what happens down below as it is a spoiler)
Thank you for picking it up and translating it, but I'd also hope that they update it with the full chapter as well! Thank you for the hard work!
SPOILER ALERT
Doyoon runs to the Director like we saw, I couldn't understand what he says but he hugs him and the chapter ends with them kissing so I assume Doyoon is honest with him after realizing he's about to lose him.
Yeah I was just thinking the same.
I can understand what u mean I saw some too ... I saw already these while exploring insta and some ppl I'm following they translating some of the story or whole raw so I know what begging cut off... Though I'm thanking they upload these but yeah it got to me ... Because it change a lot of the story and here exactly a lot big scene's with a lot of conversation getting cut off :(
XD and I'm not patient person so always see the raws before chapter come out if I could find them either whole raw or just summarizes from insta :)
I realized it since I had seen this chapter all over IG since like 2 weeks ago, so I already knew what was going on and could get the grasp of it as well since some kind users tend to at least summarize the content. It was a shame because I was really looking forward to this chapter, but let's wait and see if it gets updated :)
So I had seen this manga ever since the first few chapters were out. I'm not one to get into ongoing manga, I prefer waiting until it's completed unless it's really good. Even when the anime was announced, I noticed there was a lot of drama / angst going on so I thought to myself "might be good but not worth the pain" so I still chose to wait for a little longer until the drama settled down or I started watching the anime.
I became a fan of the anime pretty quickly, and even then I thought "it's REALLY good but I'll finish the anime before reading the manga". But aaaah do tell me, how was I such a big fool this entire time? When I got to episode 9, believe, I realized how foolish I had been every single time for missing out on this for such a long time. Everything about this manga, about this work is absolutely phenomenal. The "drama", the "angst" is so beautifully written it's absurd to call it that. It's real, it's painful yes, it breaks you yes, but you can't even call it drama because it's so deep it's much more than that. The characters are written in such a way that you feel them, every single time. I've become way too attached to them and their stories, so now I can't stop crying rereading this and rewatching the anime. I won't even start with the art and the plot flow because I won't end.
It took me a long time to get here, and I've scolded myself enough times already, but I'm so happy I got to find this absolute masterpiece. For anyone wondering if they should read this or watch the anime, DO IT! Definitely read before watching though, I'm sure the experience must be much better that way.
I agree with this on a spiritual level I--
I remember when the first few chapters were being released on mangago (back when my taste in BL was still shallow & my appreciation for storytelling was unrefined), I thought of it as boring. I wasn't a fan of slowburn mangas in general, but in the past year, my tastes have changed.
I've gotten into reading all of the available chapters & binge-watched the anime - I regret nothing. There's quite a few clichés in it but somehow Natsuki-sensei was just able to tell the story in such a refreshing way (not to mention, the beautiful art). Like, the dead lover trope, the genius/fast-learner trope, the re-encounters with people you know from the past, etc. but the characters are fleshed out so well that you can't help but fall in love with them & their journey, y'know.
I realize that I'm often mesmerized by stories that have both good plot and characters. There's a lot of good plot out there, which I enjoy, but sometimes I can't get into the characters, which made it feel lacking. Sometimes they're not fleshed out very well, or we simply don't get to see their thoughts & emotions outside of the romance realm. I love the friendships & family interactions in this, it makes the characters feel more real.
Aaaah- such a nice reply to get back to as well. Thank you very much for sharing your story as well! It makes me happy you could relate to mine and in a sense I could also relate to you.
Back then I wasn't all up for slow paced mangas, so I definitely wouldn't have appreciated it as I do now. I'm extremely sure of it now. I believe we found it just when we needed it, and that's the beauty of it in itself.
Like you mentioned previously, even with all the clichés thrown here and there it still feels well written and thought every single time. Never did I feel the 'oh damn here we go again' or felt like it was being dragged out. We didn't even need the stereotypical 'oh, am I in love?' type of scenes or self-reflections to realize just how much every character fell for each other. Them expressing their feelings out loud simply seemed like the right thing to do for both them and their loved one, but never for us. It's like they're all living their lives to their fullest and letting us watch over them as they go about them. That's how it all feels to me and that's honestly beautiful.
I will probably take a while until I can find such a heartfelt manga once again, if you have anything you would like to share I'd definitely take it! Gems are such a rare find nowadays after all! Thank you once again for your insight :)
Fanboy mama already suspects Fanboy is doing acting behind her back, that's just how moms are they know everything. Fanboy already did a whole web drama, and as much as that can be hidden from his mom (since moms aren't really as fond of the internet as teenagers or such) once he gets cast for a regular drama (or appears on a regular show maybe) there'll be no turning back. I just want to know why is his mom so against him acting? Maybe because it's an unstable job? I just want him to be happy and feel supported by his family, so I hope we get that soon and it has a peaceful ending too!
It will probably turn out well. This isn't a melodramatic manhwa. They'll talk it out, Fanboy will probably apologize for keeping things a secret, mom will apologize for not being more supportive, and she will probably be supportive of Fanboy after that.
I mean, look at how this manhwa handled the girl that had a crush on Fanboy. The author didn't really make her into a monster seeking to destroy the happiness of our babies. She just let it go, and the story moved on.
Yeah, that's why I'm not as worried tbh but I'm still looking forward to see the conversation happen between them because it's really necessary for Fanboy's growth! Hope mama becomes a super supportive one, that even in the near future Fanboy is able to introduce Star to her... even as a friend would be fine.
You'd definitely talk to the translation team that works with this and see. You're honestly doing an amazing job with the translation (grammar, the flow, accuracy, and you're incredibly fast too!). I don't mean to say their work is bad, but it's true that they take a long time as well. I personally wish for you to keep it up, not only because I love this and want to keep reading it, but because you yourself like doing it too as you've said it previously!
When Morio asked the elders about his scar and Shishio's grandma told Morio about her brother and the air raid, I started crying so much along Morio. I'm so happy they see Morio for his kind and humble self and don't reject him just for his appearance.
And let me tell you, elders in Japan do give you candy when you help them out or simply if they find you nice ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Why does such a fluffy, heartwarming, good paced, with consensual feelings / sex (and beautiful drawings as well) manga has only 8.9 for score??? This should be in the 9.0's at least!!!
It was so pure and innocent it felt like a shounen-ai, but then we got the good scenes at the end as well, a full package!!! Not only that but they were hella cute as well. Such a pleasant read to end my night ლ(´ڡ`ლ) can't wait for the sequel-
I’ve ignored scores for years now and mostly focus on comments
I look at the scores out of force of habit but I read comments as a personal rule, specially those I'm unsure about. Comments really give you everything!
Is there romance at all in this? There's the shounen-ai tag, but all I've seen in the comments is how funny it is... I'd like a dose of romance as well. If it doesn't, is it worth it anyway? Thank you in advance!!!
Not really, hes got a few "love interests" but they judt want him cuz his cute, and he doesnt end up with anyone in the end
Thank you so much for answering!!! That's such a shame really (￣∇￣")
Np!!! Sorry i couldnt reply earlier, i just finished it myself. I had high expectations but I only enjoyed 5-10 chapters of this comic. Thats really too bad :/
I truly appreciate it though since I asked this a while ago, I had high expectations as well so it truly is a shame :((((( it would have been the perfect found but well, thank you once again!!!
