this author is FREAKED OUT WITH THE TOES YALL, the sheer detail and amount of feet shots in one chapter is crazy
i just want the side couple, top omega x bottom alpha PLEASE
I LOVE THEM- It’s so good, and so realistic, and the way the two of them converse about eachother and how their positions fit into the dynamic of give and take is SO GOOD. I love switch couples for this exact reason!! Like in this it’s never about who tops and who bottoms as some like- tool for dominance or gender roles of “whose the girl,” as most mangas make bottoming out to be a ‘weak’ trait, etc, but in this it’s always about the give in relationships, and their communication and dialogue around it is so good, and has such a mature feel to it. Also the topic about being gay and the fear surrounding, the struggle to be open around people, the differences between Keita and Satoshi’s family life surrounding being queer??? perfection.
Literally the only thing I didn’t like was trope of, “I’m straight except for you trope,” that Satoshi had going on, cause like, if you like a guy, then you’re still bi, even if Keita is the only guy. I think this was the main cause of a lot of Keita’s insecurities, so, I guess it served its purpose as a plot device, but, still.
Other than that??? A favorite of mine that i’ll read over and over again!! The whole manga has such a mature, well developed feel to it.
I feel like the whole "Straight but" is mostly because a lack of understanding of what being bi or pan is like, after all sexuality can be a whole spectrum and I don't think most yaoi authors do their research they just base of each other's works
Also that's also why i found funny the thing that architect coworker said "two bottoms wouldn't work out" like being a switch or even the possibility of it not being known in gay spaces sounds funny
This will always be one of my all time favorites, it’s so good, and yegyum and jooin’s relationship is so refreshing!!! I love that we actually see the two main characters spend time together, converse, go out, etc. I feel with some authors they make it so much about the sex in an attempt to keep the readers interest that the relationship feels so one dimensional becuase we never see them actually spend time together doing other things. It’s like…I can’t believe you guys actually like eachother. But this??? Jooin is such a green flag, and the art is SO YUMMY. I’d do more than five stars if I could. I loved yegyum’s piercings and tattoo too, we need more alt bottoms.
I feel like the people that have an issue with chapter 55 or claim that yegyum should have run away etc, have such a victim blaming mentality and genuinely can’t comprehend what that scene was about. For their entire relationship the younger brother has been imposing control over yegyum using sex, and yegyum literally says that it was his attempt at making the younger brother hurt, and that he was essentially using it as a means of control, just as the younger brother had did to him. To see the younger brother in a “stereotypically” weaker position (not saying bottoming is actually weak, but it clearing is in the younger brothers mind given how he views power dynamics,) was almost a way of ‘punishing’ the younger brother for what he did. It wasn’t as if yegyum has set with him because he was deriving pleasure from it, but more of a means of control and inflicting the same kind of pain that the younger brother had on him through power dynamics. I think it’s more nuanced than just, “he had sex with him cause he wanted to,” blah blah, and to say that lacks comprehension.
Also, for the people saying this is a love triangle, I really wouldn’t say that it is. Yegyum’s feeling towards Jooin are always clear, and he never really wavers on them, the only reason he goes back to the younger brother was for Jooin’s sake, it’s not really a love triangle when it comes down to it.
Obviously Jo is a much better choice for Ian moving forward, and way healthier, so I do hope they’re endgame, but Tj will ALWAYS mog him. Tj is so hot, and the yearning between Tj and ian is so peakkkk
It was fine, it was a cute easy read, but for some reason I had a hard time like…idk being convinced they actually had serious romantic feelings. Idk how to describe it, I think it was almost just too light and fluffy for my tastes that it didn't feel like they were actually serious about eachother until the sides after the series officially ended, which, if I don’t believe they truly want to be together after the end of the series, that seemed like a writing flaw. It’s like oh! we kind of had a crush on eachother, we have no clue how we’ll actually live together, but, we’ll get married! It was cute, but there was no conflict between them and that make their relationship feel very superficial and one dimensional. I just think the pacing of the story was odd, but I do recognize that some series aren’t meant to have conflict and they’re just supposed to be cute, easy read, pallet cleansers, which is what this for sure is! I do lovveeee that they’re switch couple tho (it was the only reason I picked this up)
DNF’d at chap 2, really ugly art, weird fucking dialogue and like, idk the dirty talk is just weird, gross characters, icky! Didn’t even get to the apparent rape scene before quitting.
idk i think it’s so weird that mc has raised haewon from a child, like, that’s basically incest. I get it isn’t in the biological sense, since they’re not actually blood related, but incest being ‘bad/frowned upon’ between male relationships doesn’t really have anything to do with biology anyway given they can’t get pregnant, but the societal ickyness and inherently groom-ish/ coercive nature of it. And I also get that haewon is younger so it’s not coercive and grooming since he’s younger, but still, as the mc??? how do you fuck someone you saw as a child and raised??? that’s just fucking weird
It same as certain men who raise their daughters and get weirdly sexual about them once they hit puberty and they are more lady like for them
Your comment makes my skin crawl
What....
That's what I think too, like I think it's weird.
Really wanted to see them switch, switch couples are a hidden art form ⛓
