Who seriously cares who bottoms or who tops? It doesn't even matter. But to those wondering, Michi (the author/artist) is pretty known for having "unexpected" tops/bottoms, and she's made it quite obvious now how the positions will be.
I actually think it's incredibly refreshing that it is so, since people, like you guys demonstrate, have this idea that tops/bottoms can be identified just with their personalities or by looking at them. That's not the case.
I find it so incredibly disturbing that so many people are complaining that there's backlash. Yes, the art style is nice, good fap material, whatever, but the things happening in this story *is not right*, and you can't claim that it is. This is LEGALLY wrong.
You can't use your power over someone to make them have sex with you (he explicitly said he would fire him if he didn't) or jack off on top of someone while they're sleeping. He's being creepily possessive and it's borderline stalking, while using guilt-trip and pressure to get his ways. It's wrong, and y'all fucked up for defending that.
It's incredible what handsome characters can get away with.
Hard agree. It's one thing to be like "I know this is bad and fucked up but I'm still gonna enjoy it anyways" but the amount of people claiming stuff like this is A-OK and failing to see why people might have issues with it is concerning. I really hope none of you are being taken advantage of in your irl relationships... or worse, taking advantage of others. Let's respect boundaries and autonomy, people!
Amen! And I like that last sentence because I KNOW if the boss was an ugly, overweight old man he would be treated for what he truly is, but because he’s so handsome his actions are excusable. This trend of having a high key rapist and obsessive seme taking advantage of the uke really needs to stop. Do authors know they can have a good story without romanticizing assault and non-consensual sex??
There's literal tears in my eyes because I feel so fucking bad for Nao. I'm SO FRUSTRATED, hahaha, oh my gosh
"It's painful for me too", dsjkfdf, Eiji doesn't deserve shit
I'm pretty pissed off at Eiji. He wants to talk to Nao first and apologize so Izumi doesn't look bad, while not even thinking about telling him in the first place? What about apologizing because you're a fucking asshole who kissed your best friend's girlfriend? This absolutely baffles me.
Also, can I just point something out, that people seem to not remember?
LiHuan said "(from all of the people I have met) you are the most lovely one. I really like you." to YuYang over the phone. YuYang then asks if that was a confession when they meet, LiHuan hesitates for a moment, but says yes. LiHuan then said, directly to YuYang's face, "I'm not (gay)". Now, only a few chapters later, he throws out "then I'm gay". It seems like he's making a "mockery" out of it and doesn't know what he is or isn't. And yes, while that's fair (that he's unsure), it sends signals to YuYang that LiHuan has no idea how he actually feels or what he's doing. From the start, he doesn't even confess properly and is being very vague about it, WHILE YuYang is having a horrible time at his parents' home due to him being gay.
This is the LAST thing YuYang needs, from his perspective. Some guy who all of a sudden seems to have this idea that he likes him, but can't even explain his sexuality or confess properly. What YuYang needs and wants is stability and someone who can give 100%, not some "guess-my-sexuality-game", and LiHuan hasn't expressed that he's able to do that to YuYang, only to others or in his thoughts. While WE, as audience, are aware that he's fully capable of doing that, YuYang has no idea of knowing this.
So with that said, cut YuYang some fucking slack already.
like you said, maybe it's because us, as an audience, have an eagle's eye view on the situation that it makes it so easy to get frustrated with YuYang. But then again, maybe LiHuan really isn't gay. maybe he is on the ace spectrum (demisexual) or maybe he's bi or pan, we don't know because these just aren't terms that are used very often in bl comics. and maybe that's what's holding him back from saying that he is gay because he doesn't strictly fit into the definition of the term. maybe for him it's an "i haven't ONLY liked guys my entire life... so i can't be gay... but i really hecking like YuYang, who is a guy. so what does that make me?" situation.
Finally someone with a brain in this ugly comment section
I understand this statement but on the other hand some people don't view sexuality as something with categories. For someone who leans towards fluidity or even gray-a it has less to do about gender than it does about the person.
So for him, he's trying to convey that he has feelings for him and if his version of romantic or sexual feelings is tied to gender then why not approach it by his language? Rather than asking if he was gay he should have been more specific about what his feelings towards HIM was not his feelings towards other hypothetical people.
But again, that's not YuYang's responsibility. LiHuan is the one who wants something out of YuYang, not the other way around. If LiHuan wants to be taken seriously, *he's* the one who needs to explain and convey his feelings and thoughts properly, which he hasn't done. He has been nothing but extremely vague about everything. It's not up to YuYang to ask all the "right questions", it's up to LiHuan to express himself properly so there wouldn't be misunderstandings. You can't count on just one person, the person being held in the dark, to just all of a sudden know how everything works without the other person telling him.
To top it off, LiHuan is fully aware of this. He's not getting frustrated or mad at YuYang - he understands that he just hasn't conveyed how he feels properly and that he's bad at expressing himself. That's why he now seeks help from the girl, to help him to do it properly. It's only people here in the problems that are having problems with YuYang.
I don't think it's his responsibility. He said he liked him. They both have to sit down and have a conversation because what does sexuality labels have to do with liking someone? How much more specific do you have to be than 'I like you.' The guy that YuYang had thing for was presumably gay but isn't interested in him. When someone says they like you what does half the population of a gender have to do with it? I think they both need a conversation but I'm not going to fault one overy the other because of societal expecting regarding sexuality labels.
I haven't said it's his responsibility. I'm explaining how it's not single-handedly YuYang's responsibility, as many are saying it is. It's both responsibility, difference is that LiHuan wants something while YuYang does not currently.
Regarding sexuality, it does have to do with liking someone. If you're straight, how can you be in love with someone and be sexually attracted to someone from the same gender? Then you're probably not straight. LiHuan hasn't explained anything and is being very vague about everything. He hasn't directly told YuYang he likes him, just confirming that it was a confession when he was vaguely expressing his feelings that could be interpretated otherwise, hence YuYang's reaction of disbelief. I do agree that they need to sit down and have a proper conversation. My original comment was meant to offer another perspective as people was being overly critical towards YuYang.
This counts if you don't believe that sexuality is on a spectrum that exists outside of labels. Of you fall for the person and not the gender then how does the label of gay or straight fit? I just think it's a societal problem that people talk labels first. It's a flawed view point, especially if we go with the motto "love is love".
I generally agree. It's a communication issue. Wish everyone understood it as such and gave both characters some slack in their comments. From personal experience it's far more harmful and hurtful to be put in a boxed. It's weird when people bash one half of a ship the want because they're not getting what they want asap lmao this is what makes it fun.
I agree!
ok, I have re-read some stuff and my memory are now refreshed, lol.
Is it just me or am I the only one not doubting her feelings, but Hinata's? I don't know, it just seemed all weird. I never got the feeling that *he* liked her, only that she's the one head over heels. Hinata never seems bothered or happy with something regarding her and their relationship. Just seems odd and very unsatisfying, though I remember rooting for their relationship when I originally read this.
^tbh
ACTUALLY IDK WHO IS WITH WHO ANYMORE WTF CAN U HELP EXPLAIN PLS
LMAO, that was me
So Sou( ??... was that his name) (black-haired dude) originally liked Anna, but Anna has always liked Hinata. Anna confessed to Hinata, but got turned down basically. We find out that Hinata knew of Sou's feelings and was afraid that he would hate him if Hinata got together with Anna, therefore avoiding saying he actually likes Anna. Anna and Sou convinces him it's okay basically and becomes relatively ok again (Sou wanted a break from her since he wanted to silence his feelings), and Hinata and Anna begin to go out?? though this was super anti-climatic lmao, and he never officially asked her out or anything
Now Ayane, who used to go out with Sou in middle school, wants him back, and Anna believes they're in a relationship now after having seen them "on a date" at the fireworks festival.
Okay wait??? So wait
OH
OKAY
So Sou likey anna
And anna likey hinata
Hinata likey anna too but scared
Sou then say hinata okie likey anna
And they go out?? Lol okay
And now so is hinata and anna a thing?? Or is tht over dy lol?
And now sou and aya seem to be a thing but anna's like maybe they are a thing
But they're not actually
And now Anna feels kinda bitter cause Sou who used to be a close friend is now distant
Ouch Anna ;-; i feel for u
Thanks btw ><
I was always wondering about that with Lee! Since he's the tiger, he probably wants the family line to continuously be punished, as he was the one to originally curse them??
But i feel like he is protecting or helping jin not her
Yeah?? That could definitely be an option! I haven't said Lee is protecting/helping her, I said the complete opposite, haha! Did you read my comment wrong?
I don't feel like he's really helping either of them. It feels like he's only helping Jin for his own benefit at best.
I don't really feel like he wants to punish them, though. It sounded like this time he wanted it to go differently than all the other times, which definitely did not end well for most of Hana's family. But his motives are too suspicious for me to fully trust him.
And I'm really hoping that it doesn't turn out like most of these stories seem to, that you have to trust the least trustworthy person in order to cancel out the curse and if you don't, YOU'RE (general you) the one at fault.
And there’s his comment to the reporter. I believe he will have a storyline with Hana’s sister.
Lee may be shady but also has been helpful to the main coulple. I thought that he wanted to unite them (?)
Well, like I said, he's probably only doing it for his own benefit, which means it might not matter if it doesn't all end well for them as long as it does for him?
I kinda wondered that about the sister, too. It would be interesting if she gave him the run around at least.
We just need to know what benefit does he get. This is getting more interesting, with his rivalry with the girl and her role on the curse.
But he is definitely pulling the strings of the main characters and soon, of the reporter. He knows about the bullying on Mr. Jin, so...
Iura is such a fave
