“This is awful” doesn’t come out of the mouth of someone fully consenting.
Also it’s perfectly reasonable to complain about something when you’ve read the previous story and the sequel is so different, so don’t give me that bullshit about “if you don’t like it, don’t read it”. I did like it, and now I don’t, and I want to bitch about it, which is what the comments are for. Maybe people pointing out the flaws makes you feel bad for enjoying something and then realising it’s problematic?

I am SO SICK of seeing phrases like “I’m not stopping” or “I won’t be able to stop once I start” or “why are you saying stop when you’re obviously enjoying it” like my mother warned me about those very phrases as red flags years ago. I wish authors would stop ruining good couples

Ikr people keep saying that couple start sex and keep going with the partner's reacting and dismiss it like it's normal. Hell no. There always need to be consent, but it doesn't have to be verbal. When you're in a commited relationship you develop Ques to initial intimacy. Both parties need to be into it or it's not sex, it's taking advantage of the partner. It's sad to see how people are blurring clear lines

Has the art really changed that dramatically? I feel like between volume 1 and this one, yeah there’s a big change, but I do think it’s been gradual over the last years, not sudden at all. Genuine question - am I missing some massive change?

I’m pretty sure it’s just the artist’s technique gradually improving, it’s not surprising for an artists style to change, especially not with how long they’ve been working on this series! It sure is interesting though with long running projects… it always makes me feel like the characters are growing up with me ;x;

yeah, no it's mostly been very gradual, but the latest chapters compared to the first volume makes it very evident. you can still easily recognize chika, but i honestly would have a hard time recognizing natsu as the same character if i didn't know. he seems much more feminine, especially facially for one. hairstyle, fashion and behaviour can all change for sure, but he feels like a completely different person imo on top of the change in art style. so, i think - for the most part, it is most noticeable in his character. and since he's one of the main characters, that is probably why people are noticing and commenting now haha ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I didn’t think I could like this more and then this fucking chapter dropped. Man, I love these two
