Whenever I read a new chapter I can't stop thinking about Tamaki's situation. I am constantly worrying about his relationship with his mother and the influence her thoughts had on him. Someone he heard having sex countless times made him think sex is a bad thing - imagine how confusing and desperate he must feel!
At first I thought the story would be about an ace Tamaki and his friend who has been in love with him for years. Boy, was I wrong! Each chapter brings more and more conflicting, problematic, complex stuff.
I can't help but wish for more chapters to see where this is going.

This is SO good that I am afraid it will make me become picky haha do any of you guys have any recommendations of stories like this one? The plot was nice and fluffy and the characters were amazing ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/hatsukoi_no_tonari/ I found this super cute, hope you like it (≧∀≦)

First, I'd like to send a hug to Jaejin, the sweet boy who deserves nothing but happiness. I am really glad this whole jealousy plot(?) is not making him into a villain, but instead showing us his struggles and how he too deserves someone who loves him. I honestly hope another person comes up bc I am slightly worried with the possibility of him ending up in a relationship with one of the bros.
Besides this, I am also glad YoungJoon is mature enough to deal well with not only his feelings but also Hyun's. While the latter is kind of... a mess (I like him, just to be clear), it seems to me Youngjoon kinda knows where he stands, how to deal with the other's insecurity, so they always talk about things instead of dragging the misunderstandings. This is one of the things that helps me not get anxious over the possibility of shit hitting the fan, because I trust Youngjoon will deal with problems in the best way possible. I also wait for the day Hyun will feel less insecure.

I loved this. I really did. The slow burn sometimes made me kinda mad, but at the same time I was glad we were able to follow them through some sort of self-knowledge path; to see the growing and making peace with who they really were. However, I do feel kinda... disappointed at the end. For a slow burn story, I expected a established relationship development. Yea, I got to know them, but what about the romantic relationship? I mean, we know the main protagonists were close and basically lived together, but what about their life after the confession? And the side couple, who only met few months ago? I mean, they have SO much to find out about each other - and I would love the chance to see that!
I understand that I am frustrated at my own expectations here. The author promised us to break the walls of lies and that they did. The afterwards might not be important for this story; maybe they wanted to just tell us til this point. But I really can't stop feeling bittersweet about it. Til the end they never really had a private moment to digest and talk without others, you know? And I miss it, couple's intimacy (in the sense of opening up and sharing etc).
Anyway, I am glad I got to know this and that it was so beautiful. I thank the author and the uploaders for this amazing experience. It's now time to say goodbye.

Honestly, Huan Wen situation with his grandfather reminded me of a conversation I had with my father two years ago. He wasn't that persistent but I still remember how hurt and shocked he felt. He was the same when I came out. Seeing how Huan Wen seems to be part of the lgbtq+ and also his desire not to get married (for a reason we don't yet know, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's bc he doesn't plan to have a straight relationship), I can't help but remember all the times I felt like I was disappointing my parents. It hurts. And it's hard to not go along with what they want.
However, even though his grandpa hurt him with his words, I wouldn't call him selfish or a bad person. He's really worried about Huan Wen and he knows what it feels like to be all alone. Besides, how old is he? 60, 70? Can you guys imagine how he was raised? I am not saying it's okay to say whatever you want bc you're old, but we can not pretend it doesn't matter. He's an old man in China - a place where people can't even draw two guys kissing nowadays. Of course we can't expect him to behave as we - in our 20s, 30s and often westerns - would. Besides, he seems to love and care deeply for his grandson. Happiness in marriage might be all he knows, can we really blame him? Instead, I think we should hope that Huan Wen can be strong enough (and get enough support to) stand his ground and explain to his grandpa that yeah, he really doesn't want to marry and have children. And we all might have to deal with the fact that his grandpa may never be okay with it - which doesn't make him a bad person.
Anyway, I am really glad to see DJun portraying such realistic relationships. This manhwa is def one of my favs.

I thought they were already a couple ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ Since they started being kinda lovey-dovey and MD talked about how he cared, I thought they were in a monogamous relationship - but they weren't even dating!! Omg, I am such a fool.
I just hope Chanwoo will stop being abused :( I wish he could press charges against the asshole who hit him.

The relationship between Uncle and Redhead seems worse every chapter. Red is really young and seems like he hasn't anyone who he can open up to and seriously talk about relationships and stuff. He's honestly lost. Meanwhile, the older one - who should be responsible - is messing around with a kid who truly cares for him. I am kinda... idk. I don't wanna say "disgusted", because this is a really harsh word, but I feel something along these lines. Why is Uncle even doing that? He has a lot of options, why use a kid who is helplessly in love? For God's sake, be honest before it's too late!!
Ofc every character has its flaws (and no one can say Red is perfect) but it's one thing to make mistakes and another to use someone. That's wrong in so many ways...
Sighs. Anyway, I am really sad for Red. I know he has been in other relationships before, but those didn't seem really intense - I mean, he wasn't so invested. It's kinda sad that he decided to invest so much time and energy in a guy who wants nothing to do with him.
P. S.: Was it just me who didn't know Redhead was just 18?? Omg, was it mentioned before and my minds deleted? I was honestly kinda shocked. I thought he was 20-21. I am questioning my own mind rn. How old is Uncle anyway?

Completely agree. If ur going to mess around do with some one who also wants to mess around. Not with a kid who doesnt know any better.
I really believe Yu Yang and Pink-haired guy will stay by Huan Wen's side even when they grow old. They share a beautiful bond and we can feel how they care for each other. No matter where they are, they will be there to support.
I wish Huan Wen will be able to accept himself in all aspects. It's interesting to see how much he loves, understands and accepts Yu, but at the same time struggles with accepting himself. And it doesn't seem to be just because of his grandpa, or else he might have already talked to Yu Yang about it. As he said on the blind date, he can't even say the word... it's heartbreaking. And it's realistic. To accept ourselves might be our biggest challenge. Seeing Huan Wen's journey fills me with sadness and hope. I want to see him growing, loving others and being loved (including by himself).
I don't think Pink-haired guy will be his significant other, but this experience might be exactly what he needs. That experience that will change everything, that can make him move forward and face everything he's been avoiding. Not like it's gonna be easy or quick; it's probably gonna hurt like hell and take a while. Nonetheless, no matter what the future holds, I believe all Huan Wen is living right now is really significant and helpful for his journey.
I am here wishing these boys all the best (and missing my troublemaker Red-haired boy).
