Could barely even bother skimming the dialogues tbh. This was shounen jump anime-type level of dramatic. I was just straight laughing when kanada ran to the tree, crying, to scratch out their names.
Oh god I really can't do super dramatic mangas
Expressive, younger, skinnier guy topping his more calm, taller and beefy-titty boss!!! One of my favourite set-ups!!
Like I really don't like how yaoi's made some ppl think there has to be penetrative sex in a gay relationship, and how one guy's exclusively the top, the other the bottom.
I really hope if they do have penetrative sex, that they're verse. It looks like that's the direction this is heading in anyways (I hope!)
I would be so pissed if someone did that to my notebooks.
Do you know how hard I work making the perfect notes???!??!
Anyone else get Jacob vibes from nagizuka? One of the many reasons I passionately hated twilight, was pathetic old Jacob and man, pathetic Nagizuka still simpin after the main really reminds me of him.
omg i was literally thinking this like GET OVER HIM JEEZ
its the same thing too like mc shows NO interest in them and they stay simpin lmao
Oh I loooove all of the smut scenes in this manga. And 5.5 would've been great as a standalone one-shot where you don't know anything about the characters. But knowing how sad and pathetic the creator made Nagizuka, eh.
Edit: why the downvotes? guys I'm literally just asking if he's being respectful or if the translators are the ones being respectful. Not saying he shouldn't use his friend's preferred pronouns...
Is he using the correct pronouns for his friend or is the translator team the one doing it? I really hope it's him but given his comment in the first chapter "even though you don't look like anything but a gay dude"..idk.
I mean if they have the kinda relationship where his friend's fine with him poking fun at that, that's cool of course. I just see it as a common "joke" in yaoi for the transwomen to not be taken seriously and is treated as a cross dresser instead :(
Japanese doesn’t have pronouns like English. It’s always gender neutral
I thought it was either? Like I've read manga before that distinguished between a character using a gender neutral pronoun and a gendered one. Plus in some shows too like hunterxhunter where Killua refers to his trans sister with her preferred pronouns while his family refers to her with male pronouns.

What the heck was that Mangago? Anyways Japanese does not use he/she. And I wouldn’t put too much stock in anime translations. There’s been plenty of times they’ve referred to a male as a female based on how they’re drawn.
Ok thanks for clarifying!
And oh 100%, I meant more so translation notes in bl. Like sometimes I'll see a note about how a character's purposely using a gender-neutral pronoun to hide the fact that they're dating a guy.
Pretty sure it can be either. If you refer to a third person, for example, it can be ano hito=that person, kare=him, kanojo=her. Same with 1st person, boku and ore is more masculine and often used by male, but watashi is more gender neutral. Japanese also tend to drop the subject when it can be inferred from context, so sometimes you may not be able to tell if a person's talking about a guy, a girl, or a turtle ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Can't help ya on your question tho
Actually, I just noticed riku referred to his friend as he in one of the panel in ch 1. So it might just be the translator?
And @Daya Oh ok thanks! The type of scanalation groups to put that much effort are usually pretty thorough enough that I'd consider their notes being more or less accurate. So I was confused for a min there haha
So what word do they use for he and what word do they used for she
Just saw this an aw, yeah I was wondering. Cause everything was getting excited but I don't expect someone who inserts a "oh you just look like a gay dude" 'joke' about a trans characters or the line "I'm a girl (at heart)" to be conciously using correct pronouns :/
Yeah, and on a thought bubble in another panel, Riku said "this guy might be a weirdo who likes wearing girl's uniform, but he's a good friend."
I think it was translated using they because the subject was omitted. The actual sentence in Japanese might have been, "Mizutani isn't my girlfriend. Just a friend." which might sound a bit awkward w/o a subject.
Another example where the translator used they is when Ichigo's friend was talking about their first encounter. He said, "they're cute, with the little body of theirs" and Ichigo thought he was referring to the girl. But you can't be sure with the way he said it. He might actually be talking about Riku.
So I hate to break it to those who think otherwise, but Riku most probably didn't use the right pronouns ╮(￣▽￣)╭
That’s boyfriend and girlfriend not he/she
They can mean both. And kare/kanojo doesn't have to refer to bf/gf when used in a he/she context.
Tbh I'm surprised the translation group wouldn't even include a note on that to say they're the ones who're using the correct pronouns given that this manga otherwise has transphobic "jokes".
Bet those cameras being "down" is fake, a lie from Han to spy on Param .
Afterall, BL never goes out of its way to bring up cameras in an office when they're getting it on after-hours at their desks, why start now?
fr! i’m kinda of scared but i also want him to see them
Saaaame haha this is the kinda drama I live for in yaoi, not the "let's avoid all logic and withhold important information" kind
So cute, and this chapter was hilarious. Him talking about his feelings, other guy telling him to stop treating it like a drama, the "I don't like you" line hahaha.
I can't tell if she just wanted to tease her readers in the previous chapter or if she idea of adding more drama by making them break-up was axed
