Thought this was jsut going to be another cute, silly and horny manhwa but the plot bro, so good!! I remember in the earlier chapters there was a comedic panel where Yeon sees them in like a historical setting where he’s some kind of damsel in distress, turns out, that was an easter egg for the bigger plot. Also, I like how Yeon always communicates through tears while Kihoon communicates through horny. And gosh I understand why everyone likes Kihoon. If a person like him were around me, I’d have a crush too.

Binged this in one seating and i have some thoughts.. Would like to preface this by saying that I like this story a lot. Setting that aside, i’m just a bit confused about some things. First is, what the heck was the purpose of the white-haired twink?? I kinda get how the story moved forward with his little side plot but he felt very irrelevant tbh. Second, I feel like there could have been a bit more to show how the side couple became a thing? Maybe we’d see more with the side stories but seeing as how there’s a time skip and it’s focusing on another conflict (which they could have shown in the main story), I doubt it. And how did Jinwoo and Dojun’s relationship get resolved? I hope they showed that in the main story but nah they didn’t. Is their mom still alive? What was the point of hinting that the other guy is somewhat connected to Seok? Maybe these would be answered in the side stories, maybe not, but i feel like these should have been resolved before the side stories.

I like this a lot. I like how it focuses on queer friendships rather than the romance that’s typical from BL (although I do wish we’d seen more of Yumeno and Mishima).
Some things I don’t like:
1. Kirino’s ending. Would he have truly been happy living a lie? I know in real life there are people out there who lives the way he does but still.
2. The teacher. So what he got away scot free? Should’ve been stoned. I also don’t like how it feels like the story has this narrative of him being a pedophile is because he is unfulfilled as a gay man. The side stories just pissed me off I did not want to see him again unless it was him getting thrown into jail.

Keep in mind that the setting is the ‘90s, so that’s probably why things didn’t turn out the way we wanted them to. I bet even if the boys had told anyone what the teacher did, no one would’ve believed them. Kirino also has a logical ending based on the context of their setting. Circumstances like having different moms with different ideas of who they are played a huge role in who they turned out to be. Mishima would’ve probably ended up the same as Kirino if his mom hadn’t supported him from the start.
