Y'all, find you a friend like the secretary... someone willing to tease you but also someone willing to eat dinner with you when you're feeling down! My heart!
It threw me off when I saw boobs... bwahahaha! What has BL done to me?!
Sameeee, omg wtffff, I was like, oh shit titties for a change, it was a PLEASANT surprise, my bi curiosity’s thirst was quenched
I'm okay with Asahi crossdressing. The problem I have with it is that he feels like he HAS to look that way in public. It's not really clear about how he wants to express himself. Obviously, he likes fashion and makeup (enough to involve it into his work and personal life). But I feel kind of uncomfortable when I see him more dressed as Miu than Asahi. He definitely identifies with masculinity and femininity; I want to be clear that he has not identified as being trans. This is completely fine! However, my problem is that Asahi is... kinda lost behind the facade of Miu. I want to see Asahi interact with Yugo. I don't want to see Miu all the time because Miu reminds me that Asahi feels like he can't win against girls and that he HAS TO fit into the hetero norms. I love that Asahi is comfortable and enjoys playing with gender and fashion; however, I want to see him comfortable and as himself. Asahi is who Yugo loves, not Miu (although, Yugo likes Miu because Miu is Asahi). This is a convoluted rant but I feel really conflicted and frustrated because I came here to see a lovey dovey gay couple but I'm now dealing with a horny lady and a really insecure cinnamon roll who feels like he's not enough! Just let me relish in my boys!
I legit keep saying the ssme thing. I CAME FOR GAYS NOT CHEAP HETEROSEXUAL SHIT
As my user says I have only and will only read yaoi and gay stuff on this website
Like Asahi sweety UR bf is not fking pan. KAY?! HES GAY SO LET HIM BE GAY NOT FORCE HIM TO BE PAN! :'< sorry I get emotional bout this stoof
I'm truly only reading this... or rather, continuing to read this 'cause I want to see Claude finding a lovely man who will love him and communicate with him!
Lol, for a second I thought Claude was going to play the "I'm actually not gay but I pretended to be so I can help you, and I'm actually in love with you" move. HOWEVER, I'm glad the author has seen that there is already too much drama and simply created an honest and supportive character! Claude is too good for us!
I know we all don't like angst, BUT I would feel extremely unsatisfied if this misunderstanding/issue were to be solved in just a single chapter (the next one). Like, I do not want this problem to drag on but this chapter was the visual representation of all the stress of BOTH their lives (their work responsibilities, their romantic partnership responsibilities, etc) crashing down at them. They both need to not only talk about this problem but SOLVE IT! I do not want this issue to be resolved with a kiss and apology. It needs to prolong so that BOTH OF THEM can voice their worries!
Also, I want to point out that I am frustrated at the seme, although I understand his work responsibilities. Yes, the uke was being a bit needy, but he has the right to be! They are not perfect but I really think the seme messed up and needs to own up to his mistake. The uke is understanding, that's why he let the seme get obsessed over work for several weeks; however, the uke has a limit too! My poor babies, please talk this out and fix this problem!
you forgetting that is also the uke fault too for the seme obsession for over work himself.
he is pressure him into over work and killing himself and it does not good! he should not have talk a thing about his mother too what also add up to the Seme with no real need for it!
the uke need to change first and stop with all the pressure, yeas the Seme did bad but honsatly I don't blame him after seen him trying to follow so hard after the uke unrealistic expectations.
Wait what...? Lol, correct me if I'm wrong but I thought it was simply the uke's mother who wanted the same to prove his capabilities...? Like, I understood the situation as the uke's mother trying to make a point in saying that the seme was unstable (as a working adult), NOT the uke pressuring the seme to prove his worth. From what I understood, the uke didn't want the seme to push himself but rather let him do as he (the seme) wanted because he understood that the seme wanted to prove himself. In order to preserve his pride, the uke wanted to support the seme in his work, thus he hadn't complained about the overworking nor did he try to stop the seme. I don't know, maybe I missed something in the last few chapters?
Additionally, I do believe the meeting with their parents was important, despite it being a disaster. Family means a lot to both of them, especially as they had both just recently come out. I don't blame them for meeting up with their parents. Even if it isn't about getting support, it's simply nice to tell your family about the amazing person you are seeing.
As for the "unrealistic expectations"... I don't really think these expectations the uke has on the seme (to be a stable working adult) is unrealistic; rather, that is quite realistic, I think. Especially as an owner of a small independent company, there has to be some stress as to stability of income and livelihood. I don't think there were any unrealistic or malicious expectations; however, I think (as for the seme's overworking) the seme is falling for not only the expectations of the uke's mother but also his own personal expectations. He's pushing himself because he wants to be the best partner for his boyfriend.
I don't know... You have valid points and I think we both agree that it's best for these two to talk out their problems and mistakes to further their relationship to a better place!
I talk about the part where the Seme ask him "so what did your mother said about me?" and the uke said "she think I need a better man then you" I know it for comedy sake but the fact the Seme dream the uke telling him "You not good enough for my mother!" is not a good sign.
by the way, the uke himself was aware he did pressure him from what he was thinking back when the whole Seme "workaholic" arc started but then the uke was like "Naa it's fine, a little pressure is totally fine" so yeas it's both of them fault, but the biggest is the uke.
and the fact he agrees with his mother also does not sit well with me at all, the Seme is totally fine even without him working his ass off to make his uke bitch for a mother happy, which she will never be anyway.
Oooh~ Okay, I understand now! No, it totally makes sense why you'd feel that way. I think I took that conversation in a different tone but your interpretation about the situation and their internal turmoil is great! I agree that if I were in that situation, I would also feel pretty insecure.
thanks, that's how I felt for a long time #－.－)
I do agree the Seme should not break his promise about the date but I think both of them need to work on this relationship more with no pressure. and yeas the Seme should take a break from work to work on his feelings and him been insecure need to be discussed deeply with the uke, a long talk.
that what I wanted from them for a long time
If anyone touches Sieg, I WILL CUT YOU!
Also, I like Mariella but I'm at the edge of my chair! She's so nice but also a bit too trusting. Lynx and his crew are not to be fully trusted! Not only were they fine with transporting slaves, they think nothing of slaves and even complain about them smelling. Sieg was also an adventurer; don't think YOU can't fall low too. In fact, I hope you all do! Also, I forgot his name but the leader of the crew is so suspicious. He not only quickly made a deal with Mariella for her potions (treating her like a tool), he looks to be the type who wants to monopolize her abilities as he made Lynx follow them. UGGHHHHH, if Mariella doesn't start to be a bit more cautious, my darling Sieg will get caught in the middle of it!!!
How am I not surprised that this female character (which I get a feeling that she's one of the main characters) is already kinda annoying me...? Like, she's done nothing wrong (lol) but... like, she hasn't done anything right either. Like, YOU ARE JUST IN THE WAY! Bwahaha, hopefully she's not as annoying as this chapter made her seem to me.
it's the pushy naive behaviour that makes female characters like these kinda annoying most of the time since most of them they basically don't have tact and thoughtlessly intrude the main character's own personal space and actions with nagging, pushing them around, pulling dead weight, and the comical unjustifed violence occuring in fanservice scenes like "he saw her bra becauee of her wet shirt so he deserved that slap xddd"
Quite honestly I get the fanservice but I feel like her as a character ain’t so bad because she’s able to hold her own weight and I feel like she has some actual character to her (comparing it to other isekias I’ve read before she’s doing pretty good)
I don't know what to say... I'm stuck between the sadness of seeing a young boy die, the truth behind his words and relationships, the satisfaction of Miura and Jun breaking up (you are NOT freaking Freddie and Mary, stop trying to force this soulmates narrative onto Jun), and the mellowing emotion of this story coming to an end... I was here for the journey and I found it amusing in some points and despised it in others... but this is life. Truly mysterious and ambiguous.
Nobody is forcing anything. It's what the author intended to have the characters be. You may not find satisfaction in how their relationship grew to become, but in the novel and in the manga, THIS is what their relationship is meant to amount to. The whole series is about Queen after all, so it's only befitting that the two main characters share a similar outcome with Freddie, a homosexual, and Mary, the love his life romantically.
I am glad you found some parts good, and others bad. This series was truly a joy to work on despite the conflicted opinions I see from other people. I'll see you later today for the final chapter I hope!
First of all, THANK YOU for working hard on this project. Also, I hope that these conflicting opinions do not stop you from working on other projects. There will always be different opinions, so don't feel down if readers don't appreciate a story as you did. I will follow through with this story until the end and I hope to see your later work on other projects! (Unless this was just a one-time experience for you)
Yes, I did have dislikes and qualms about this story. I feel that as a critical reader, we can and should always find things that we like and dislike about something; it's a good thing! This story was incredibly thought provoking and really challenges its readers to question not only sexuality but our views about "conventional" sexuality - whether it be heterosexuality or homosexuality.
Additionally, yes, it is always great to consider an author's intentions. I find myself in a difficult position when I think about an author's intention because an author's voice is KEY to their story; however, I feel like a novel/manga/whatever one writes for the public eye is a conversation. If one side does not understand or agree, there was something wrong with the communication. This fault does not lie in the author alone. Everyone is different and their lives impact the way they see and experience the world.
Personally, I feel like the story is lacking a bit, and I feel that it fails in some places while it prevails in others. I definitely want to take the author's side and commend them on their efforts to writing a story as such - writing a novel is already difficult enough. And although this story was not a 10/10 for me, I love that it is for others and I found it extremely rewarding to have an experience where I was screaming at characters out of frustration, yet couldn't put it down.
Thank you for everything you put down. Going through this series did bring me some frustration even for me, but the novel truly did this story a lot better and that's why I felt such. Looking at the comments from others I always felt it was a shame they couldn't know fully what I knew having read the source material, but looking at your comment I wonder if that truly mattered. Because as you said, stories are meant to be a discussion between the author's intentions and the reader's interpretation. I am glad you and many others engaged with the story and found parts you liked or didn't! It is by no means a perfect story, but the themes it explores are indeed thought provoking and give a new outlook on the world I hope for most.
Also, this is not a one time thing! I have found a love seeing discussions bloom from my readers, so I intend to continue translating. I already do another series called "Until I Meet My Husband", but plan to undertake a Shoujo Ai series next month. The themes are darker like this, but there are some fluff and almost "mysterious" vibe to it. Perhaps you should check it out if you don't mind that genre! I plan to announce it at the end of Ch. 13.
I will have no sympathy for the church or that stupid pope girl if they die/get killed. I hope they do too! What arrogance to simply want a holy beast as a PET then cry when you can't have your toy and when you caused several soldiers to die THEN going out to kill that elf man who was simply trying to mediate the situation. I hope she and the other church man are MURDERED!
LOL, it's midnight where I am... sorry if I'm a bit intense.

Pope is an elf, she got off easily. ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ And the guy that cut the elf dude, he will be a professor in the school that our mc will be at. He'll still be a d i c k. (╬￣皿￣)凸
Noooooo!
DANG IT!
So... there seems to be a lot of people who like this story. I finished chapter 2 and I'm freaking out. Lol. Just to be clear! I'm fine with rape, bdsm, twisted stories and such. I'm done with arguing over that stuff. BUT I am not okay with an irritating main character lol. If he's going to be destructive and/or toxic, I don't think I'd be able to get through this manga in one piece lol. I need some help from fellow readers who seem to enjoy twisted stories as much as I do. IS THIS STORY WORTH THE READ?! It seems so interesting but I'm so scared...
If ur scared u should stop reading it doesn’t get that much better except for like two chapters where the seme takes care of the sick mc other than that it just gets more intense
Looooool okie! Thanks. This will probably stay on my "want to read" list but I can't deal with jerks right now. I'm currently in my fluffy and romantic phase so jerks (especially jerk semes) make me literally (and I mean literally) cry when they are mean to their uke. Lol, when I'm in my twisted and chaos phase, I can pretty much handle anything BUT a terrible plot, so I'll probably take a chance and read this then. Thanks again!
