I love Japanese art, stories, clothes, shrines, the people, even their politics, but for some reason Japanese food is one of my least favorites.
I adore Indian, Ethiopian, Chinese (especially Sichuan), Italian, Thai, etc...
So it's not like I'm picky. But whenever I had to eat at the home of a friend whose mom is Japanese, I dreaded it.
Hahaha i can't blame you. I like japanese food but not many of my friends can even eat japanese food. Well.. i vomid when the first time i ate nattou though *sorry for bad english
Oh my, Japanese food is one of my favourite. But I guess we all have different taste. How about trying Japanese food that's not raw? Maybe Tonkatsu or Ramen? If you like Chinese food then I think ramen is similar.
Some Ramen is OK, but I always like the Americanized version better than the traditional bowls because Japanese versions always seem to add something that ruins the whole dish.
I call it the "one ingredient too many" principle; I'll be on board with a Japanese food until they add a final ingredient to it (usually something really fishy or moldy tasting) that ruins it for me.
And have you ever had natto? OMG! To me the taste, the consistency, AND the appearance are all so yucky I honestly can't figure out how anyone likes it, but like you wrote, we all have different tastes, which keeps life interesting.
I think natto is similar to Chinese cheese? But I love it especially good if you eat with boiled rice. This makes life so interesting, indeed
Me thinks blue dolphin is going to end up with his trainer, who will give Mokhwa a great job as a thank you for getting him back with his beloved dolphin.
Once Mokhwa is employed, but alone, pink dolphin will swoop in and reveal that he is not actually a complete ass, but an OK dolphin/man/fairy who was only being a jerk because he had a lot of anger toward humans, which is understandable considering his history.
I also wish Changgyeong the blue dolphin doesnt end up with Mokhwa for reasons i cant really say, they just dont appeal to me. But the cover doesnt seem like Changgyeong tho, looks like trainer has his own love interest. Aaand the thing about yaoi is usually mc and 2nd lead will surely end up together unless it's tagged tragedy..no matter how unsuitable they are *sigh*
I think they save tragedy tags for when characters either die or end up alone.
If blue dolphin and Mokhwa both end up with someone, even if it's not each other, I'm guessing that would still count as a happy ending, I think...
I agree with you that blue dolphin just doesn't seem like the right fit for Mokhwa.
The other day I was also wondering if Mokhwa was going to end up turning into a dolphin. He seems kind of unhappy as a human, so if given the chance to swim, eat fish, and have sex all day, I'm betting he'd take it. The question then is will he turn into a pink or blue dolphin.
Ooh wait, is there any difference between pink or blue dolphin? I thought it was just Rino or Changgyeong and dont have anymore meaning
I have trouble remembering their names so I think of Rino as the pink dolphin because I believe he's a pink river dolphin, while Changyeong is just a regular blue bottle-nose dolphin.
Sorry if it was confusing; it was just how I kept them separate in my head.
The manhwa actually wraps up this couple's story around ch.30 and the rest so far (ch.60+) has been about the orange hair guy and the killer whale he's looking after. Which actually I prefer the second couple much more. So much more interesting and the uke isn't so useless and annoying.
Haha yeah as expected, even if the plot is outta the box, couples in BL is soo predictable. That's why I'm not that interested to follow this story with the main couple. (And it's not helping that I always suffer from 2nd lead syndrome lol)
Ah but im intrigued with what you say, I like the orange-haired guy already..can u specify which chapter exactly the new arc/season start? I'll buy it on Lezhin. And does mokhwa-changgyeong still show up on there or is it all about the orange-haired guy?
It starts with chapter 36! And Mokhwa-changgyeong do show up a couple times but we don't see any relationship development- all we see are repeated scenes from the first arc, shown from orange-haired guy's perspective.
Thanks a lot!! I'll be waiting for the official English then, its still in ch 20+
Are you reading it from the korean raws? Is the whole series already ended there?
Yup, reading the raws from lezhin! And no :( its still ongoing at ch.60-something but I think it'll end at around 70-80.
Oooh if you use lezhin and like these kinds of animal/human manhwa you should try Wolf in the House when it comes out in english. The author has the most gorgeous art style. The raws are only at ch.11 - but if you're interested I could send you pics of the raws :D
And all of those remaining chapters are all about the orange haired guy and killerwhale?? Then it's longer than Mokhwa story? ..Now that i think of it, the cover here is also featuring those two..maybe they are the ones who actually the main couple and not Mokwa like i think all these time haha
Is wolf in the house BL too? Heheh im more triggered when it's BL, sure pls send the pict^^
Thanks!!
Yeah.. it doesn't seem likely that the story will go back to the first couple. It definitely feels like orange hair is the actual main character bc he's the one that interacts with all the characters and knows everything that's going on. Like the first couple has no idea he has a lover, the lover hasn't (so far) met the first couple and so on.
And yup it's bl. Someone actually uploaded it in.. Russian(?). Here's the link: https://mangahub.ru/wolf_in_the_house
I really don't like the idea of dead snake powder as an aphrodisiac, even in a fictional story.
Now if it had been ground up Viagra, that would have made more sense, as well as being more ethical.
Ok, but think about this: there's no way they are going to sell some food with a viagra topping on a family friendly environment (and what kind of flavor would that give? yickes) and the snake being and aphrodisiac is more like a myth hence why they are selling it there. Selling dead animals like that is nothing out of the ordinary. It's just something cultural.
"It's just something cultural."
So are human slavery, female genital mutilation, honor killings, burning widows alive, and a whole bunch of other sick and destructive practices.
Just being a part of culture does not make something good or right.
China's love of animal parts as folk cures is driving some animals into extinction.
So, No! I don't have to like or accept that this artist both portrays this practice and reinforces the misconception that it actually works.
Some parts of culture can be amazing, but other parts like this are straight up wrong.
Did you just compare a natural aphrodisiac with genital mutilation?
Lol what you just said are not even related to the topic you started.... and as for my opinion...human eats animal meats everyday and using a dead snake as aphrodiastic doesnt make much of a different for me.....
Eating meat as sustenance is very different than killing an animal to use as a "medicine" that doesn't even work.
There is also a massive difference between consuming animals which have been specifically domesticated and raised to be consumed versus removing them from the wild, which is the problem that is driving species out of existence.
Maybe you can't see the difference between slaughtering rhinos for their horns to use as some BS "cure" for impotency and eating a burger, but I can.
Moreover, I have a much bigger problem with the former than the latter.
It's kind of sad and scary that you would think they are equivalent...
We are not stupid, we can tell the difference between the slaughter of an endangered animal and killing animals that are for food or medicine. Maybe this particular case is not so weird for me because where I live there are a lot of snakes and we eat them, use them for medicine and use their skins. Must be the same in places where snakes usually live and they are not even close to get endangered because snake meat is not as popular as the others and as i have read on this chapter, is the same in Japan. Maybe where you live there are no snakes and you think they are rare or something. Just chill, is a manga about a cop and a yakusa fucking.
I swear, we are our own worst enemies when it comes to pursuing happiness.
Also, just to be fair to Edison:
“Five percent of the people think;
ten percent of the people think they think;
and the other eighty-five percent would rather die than think.”

Seriously, you know he's crazy, so then you decide to antagonize him...
WTF?
Why not just go kick a tiger in the balls?!?
He's turning suicidal for real.
I knew there was a reason I didn't feel bad for the skinny guy...
And now I know what it is.
I thought it was done
I thought it was about as weird it could get
But then it got WAY WEIRDER!
And on a related note, was he making soap or peanut butter?
Because it looked a lot more like peanut butter than soap...
There must be something wrong with me because for some reason I find myself liking the rapist with yellow eyes a lot more than his victim.
Yikes!
i feel u ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I didnt feel sorry for uke even once.. i dont know
Giving u food that u wont die is the same line in some vampire cd..i love this line,,make me excited
(▰˘◡˘▰) i want that big guy bcm uke one omre time
Nooooooo
Dont say such a sad thing ┗( T﹏T )┛
Turning some seme into uke r thiriling but 100% not this seme,,he is too manly
In his own misguided way, he was pouring his heart out, but she just crushed like a bug.
You forget this is the guy that told her she was like all women, exaggerating and making a fuss over nothing, when she bent over in pain after she was hit by the ball at that soccer game? The bastard deserves what he gets.
I didn't say he wasn't clueless.
He obviously confused "bad boy" with "dickhead" when he was trying to win her heart.
Yeah, confusion is a human mistake, after all... Like how just now, Yeo confused "rejecting him" with "being a cold bitch to him", too. ...But everyone can make a mistake, right?
...Sorry, just trying to make a point. I think his attitude is not harmless not only because he's a grown-up man who should already know better, but because he was her superior at the office, which means his verbal abusement wasn't just mysogyny, but also an abuse of power. Guys like that, so blind to their situations they themselves generate, and to everything around them, need a wake up call to realize the consequences of the way they treat others.
Umm...
I believe you are the one who is confused.
She didn't merely reject him, she went above and beyond to be cruel.
Did you miss the part where she told him she valued her lipstick more than his life?
For as mean as he was to her, regardless of what his motivation actually was, she paid him back with interest.
When he finally opens up about his true feelings and is in the process of proposing to her, she cuts his soul to ribbons by telling him she'd let him drown in order to save an empty pop can.
Yeah, sorry, but you failed to make your point.
Do you think women's mission in life is to act the part of the psychologist or the all-understanding mother to every asshole they meet in their life? We're not talking about a child, we're talking about a 40-year-old man, which means he's at least 10 years older than the protagonist (since this is her first job). Even the way he "proposed" was insulting: he didn't ask her if she liked him back, he just assumed that she did. And even though he publicly humiliated *her* many times over, *he* was saved from the embarrassment of others seeing him get humiliated by *her*. That's just as much "compassion" he deserves.
Hmmm...
Me thinks you are taking this a little too personally.
Did a man perchance act dickish toward you? Or possibly break your heart?
Because nothing you've wrote refutes my original post.
Whatever you think of his behavior, she was still a stone cold bitch to him.
Maybe it's just me, but when I run across someone who is a total prick to me, I've never found trying to sink even lower than them in response particularly helpful.
More importantly, it's just a manga.
No need to get your panties in a twist over it.
Lol, you're right. Sorry...
