From chapter one it seemed less like the MC had OCD and more like he had autism? OCD would match up with the scheduling and seating needs, but those also match with autism and his sensory issues as well as his tonal issues made it feel more like he had autism. Asking because I’d love to see a webtoon or manga that features an autistic main character in a non-derogatory way and I’m not sure if it will ever be addressed in this way later on.
There is a Japanese bl manga that has an implied autistic seme which I found really nice and kind of realistic. However the main plot isn’t him being autistic, it’s a love story which so happens to be that the seme is autistic which I thought was good.

^^ that’s the manga
He for sure has been coded in a way that makes him seem like hes neurodivergent in some way. He good have autism or possibly ADHD because they line up well. It was confirmed that he doesn’t have OCD because that’s a form of anxiety but he certain does have a lot of characteristics has a neurodivergent person
Tysm! I will check it out!
Sangwoo is most likely autistic, i'm autistic myself and I can see lots of my traits in him. His scheduling and seating needs are definitely autistic traits, OCD rituals are usually compulsive and to relieve anxiety but autistic rituals are more for comfort (which is what I see in Sangwoo). His attachment to his cap and not understanding why he gets called oppa by the girl even though she isn't his sibling is also very autistic. Sangwoo also has prosopagnosia (inability to recognize faces) which often co-occurs with autism. This is definitely the best autism representation in the whole webtoon/manga medium
Thank you for responding! These were many of the traits I was seeing, but I don’t have autism so I wanted to ask someone who did :)
Does he suck for having a ton of girlfriends at once? Absolutely. But let’s take a second to remember he’s a high school kid who has
-taken the life of his friend into his own hands (which is something no teenager has the metal capacity to fully deal with)
-Been made to feel responsible by his other friends for “not doing enough to help”
He may not be an awesome person, but the stuff he’s dealing with really sucks and people getting pissed because he doesn’t love Nono romantically or because he’s not able to do enough for her (AS A LITERAL HIGHSCHOOLER) is ridiculous.
I’ve always been a fan of plots like this I guess. I really like seeing a character making a bad decision that fits perfectly with their character for reasons that are either morally ambiguous or morally correct. I like seeing Cain betray Edward because I want to see how it will impact their growth as characters. If one of them kills the other this’ll officially be one of my top stories.
Spoiler:
I saw a comment a few chapters ago that said Cain ends up being killed by edward
Yuuuuuuh
yeah i appreciate the angst but its so out of character for cain. i really liked him and now im realizing hes just as much of a possesive sexist creep as the ml :(
Ever since she said she got the same vibes from him and the girl and then it was basically confirmed when they were studying and he had trouble answering questions about his past (also it seemed like maybe he couldn’t read?)
She said that he looked surprised when he began to read the history of the country like he didn’t know it
She also found also out that he "lost his memory" when she had someone do research into him for her and seemed to act very differently. There was also how he didn't seem to know what hobbies he liked, what subject he likes the most, he also said how he wouldn't know what to do anymore if he wasn't the Prince's guard anymore, he also didn't seem to react like everyone else once he learned about what the title she had really meant, and probably a few other small things as well.
Should the uke have cheated? No.
But Honam is honestly terrifying. Even near the beginning he’s given off rapey, possessive, abusive vibes. He had a fiancée, and let’s not forget that he doesn’t seem to care how pain the uke will be in once he forgets him as long as he himself is satisfied. Everything about him screams “RUN!” I don’t like that the uke made the decision to cheat, but he’s definitely better off with the director than Honam (even if the director also kind of creeps me out)
I’m so glad the updates are starting to pick up again ヾ(☆▽☆)
Everyone calling it wholesome even though Mr Sir really forcibly kissed and touched a drunk guy and then had sex with him even though he was totally wasted （￣へ￣）
I don't think he's completely wasted. Not all people who drinks alcohol gets drunk to the point they lost their inhibitions. If he was wasted he would ended up slurring his words, lose consciousness, or simply lack of libido. And even if the seme did forcibly kissed him, he hesitated midway before the uke gave permission.
it was obv that he wasn't black out drunk. and both of them were drunk so you can't just blame one person. get off ur moral high horse ffs
Imagine thinking it doesn’t matter because both of them were drunk... Top still forced himself and consent under the influence is not consent. I didn’t say he was blackout drunk I said he was wasted (which he literally said himself) Also, let me make this clear: I liked the story. I just don’t think it was as wholesome as everyone is saying.
What the heck is the description of wholesome to you?
No dubcon lol. There are plenty of yaoi where the seme asks for consent and the uke FULLY gives consent. Again, I liked the manga I just don’t agree that it was wholesome.
People like u ruin everything
the dislikes... they hated jesus because he was right
Lmao everyone is so upset. I didn’t say it was a bad manga I said it wasn’t wholesome ╮(￣▽￣)╭ For the person who asked what is wholesome to me, I would say mangas like Wolf in the Flower Shop and Bending the Spoon.
Wasn't the MC in Wolf in the Flower Shop like 16 or some shit lol I mean, I'm far from a person who judges but if you gonna point fingers over a couple dudes havin' a few drinks and gettin' intimate then you need to have a talk with yourself lol
You need to learn the difference between totally tanked and just slightly soupy, my friend lol they literally had like 2 beers and then moved on from there.
I could understand if Natsui was just gone and unable to actually consent but that wasn't the case this time around lol you sound like one of those "even if they aren't intoxicated if the other person has had one drink then it's rape" type of people.
MERESAHKAN TCIH.
I think he was 17 and the flower shop dude was in his early 20s? Again, I liked the manga and I’m not trying to say people who didn’t like it are bad people. I just don’t think it was wholesome.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS
