Mangas like this are actually pretty common but because it's shounen ai, I feel like a lot of people reading it don't typically read stuff like this which make the comments very polarizing ahaha
What's polarising means? Ty in advance
it just means there are people with vastly different opinions on either side
How are they different? /gen (im someone who dc if its smut or shonen ai)
Oh, I don't mean it's polarizing because it's shounen-ai rather than yaoi. Most shounen-ai/yaoi readers read for the romance but this is a psychological horror so there is going to be some messed up stuff in here that goes beyond just murder (like how there was graphic torture, etc). I was just saying that I find it pretty interesting reading the comments because this kind of manga is pretty typical in the horror/gore/violence field but since most people are expecting it to be more romance-y, they find it hard to accept Shirayuki's torture methods.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with finding this disturbing or disagreeing with some of what Shirayuki has done.
the way it took jaehyuk like 50 episodes to realize he's in the wrong but it took han garam only one
I am a han garam defender until the day I die, I don't care what he did, Jaehyuk is in the wrong idc idc
I'm with you
JH was an asshole yk
this sounds so much like a self insert/projecting situation idk
bro... you have five hundred billion exes and bro has one ex that he doesn't like talking about. you have literally nothing to be worried about
I don't think it's just about being jealous of his ex it's more like he wants to know about garam more or want garam to open up to him like lovers do. Tho he shouldn't pressure garam into opening up n give him time. Hopefully he doesn't mess up
Here's my full review of the manhwa. I just finished it, and I have a lot of thoughts.
I honestly only started reading it because I found it on the home page and saw that comedy was one of the tags and I love comedy manhwas so I thought 'why not?' Uhm... THIS WAS NOT THE ROMCOM MANHWA I THOUGHT I WAS SIGNING UP FOR.
I usually try to avoid this stuff at all costs and my heart actually sank when I first found out that Taesoo and Chunwoo had that kind of relationship. I don't usually read plots with unhealthy love triangles and this amount of angst, but honestly, I kind of loved this. The story is very realistic to me. It shows how relationships can be extremely multi-faceted. The portrayal of loneliness and trying to overcome trauma was very impactful and overall, I just really liked the characters. Now, after saying all this, I would also like to say that this story really fucked me up omg. I need to read a lot of no-conflict romance mangas in order to recover from this.
Other final thoughts: I really love the main story plotline. While I did feel incredible frustration and pain reading through some of the character's choices, none of it ever felt unrealistic. The characters were really human. The epilogue and sides, however, are a completely different genre and vibe. It leans into slice of life where plots blur together and nothing is really too serious for too long. While it is cute, it got boring to read after a while and now I am just waiting until they drop more shit about my boy Woojin. When he's not in the chapter I lose interest ngl sjflsdjfa;slj I just really want to see him and Yitae interacting more. To me, their relationship is one where they both really like each other, but they would never in a million years say anything to the other, which is my cup of tea. That's the kind of romcom that I want to be reading right now.
Oh well, I haven't really done my opinions justice in this word vomit of a review, but I just have a lot to say about this manhwa and I am too lazy to form a cohesive essay.
Hyejin is so silly for that. The two of them have such a girlies relationship it’s so funny
The best friend and boyfriend hating each other is one of my favorite dynamics pffft it's so funny
Right
Is it just me that feels like it would defeat the purpose of their development? I know it isn't that deep, but I feel like Hitomi developing theriomorphosis is too easy of a fix to their problems like he would just suddenly understand Kamiya without having to work through anything.
They're really cute but Hitomi also needs to recognize that his mindset of being okay with Kamiya breaking him is really unhealthy
Yep I think so too, it will become just another fate furry omegaverse (ー_ー゛)
I mean he did say that he was really simple minded and even if it seems dysfunctional from the outside, a relationship in which one person is really obsessive and possessive can actually work out when the other person WANTS and maybe even needs that from them. It's definitely not a peak healthy relationship and there's some therapy to be had for sure but I don't think it's the worst thing ever. I agree that him getting the condition would be too easy of a fix though
And I know it's a smut and in the first chapter itself we got some dubcon moments, but seriously .·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·.
I want some fluff, some non toxic story like tadaima okaeri maybe, i want them to have healthy communication and much more.
Specially I like both the mc even though they need some therapy for sure. I opened the manga without cheking genre so i know I am at fault ಥ_ಥ for wanting some fluff buuuutttr a girl can dream you know ( ꈨ ˙ ꈨ )
I feel the same although it would be really interesting if they both had it but because of Hitomi's insecurities about not being enough if he gets it too it would almost confirm his insecurities by showing he had to change physically to be enough instead of resolving the insecurities and issues through proper communication and relationship growth.
I would argue that Hitomi is actually just as possessive and obsessive as the seme he just doesn't show it as agressively and a lot of it is more inward thoughts
Yep I 100% agree with you, let's see what happens, I just want happy ending with communication.
All the more reason that they could actually work out lol
the protagonist is so trans-coded with that dialogue about being their true self online as a girl
and that is called good chemistry and build-up.
I have read wayyy to many manhwas/mangas where they begin as enemies/rivals/just don't really like each other, etc and slowly begin building up to having a relationship. And I swear EVERY SINGLE TIME WITHOUT FAIL, just when the build-up was getting to the good part, they just somehow have sex and skip to the next stage in the relationship. LIKE IT'S SO FRUSTRATING! YOU WERE JUST GETTING TO THE GOOD PART!!! And of course I am not here to police anybody's work like do whatever you want, but it feels lazy and unsatisfying. I want to see characters naturally start to like each other despite their previous hatred. I want to see them slowly fall in love and not be thrown into this awkward "we hate each other but we just fucked so now we have to figure out the aftermath." Those kinds of stories can be fun, too, but the slow buildup, teasing banter, and slowly falling in love will always be PEAKKKKK. I love it so much. Nokyoung and Junil have amazing chemistry and I feel so upset that I probably won't find anything like this for a long time.
There were a few things that I didn't really like about Junil's character though, mainly the part where he lied about Hyunjae wanting to drug Nokyoung. Like your boyfriend is a full-grown adult, he doesn't need you shielding him from Hyunjae and treating him like a child. That scene actually gave me chills like it was icky how he lied like that. Hyunjae isn't a great person by any means and he deserves to be in prison, but I don't think Junil was right to discredit his character growth like that. Again, I don't really think he deserves redemption, but I still don't like how Junil made up such a lie.
Finally, I love the mother's character. It's so good. That's all I wanted to say. I just love how she never properly shows up in the series, but she is intertwined so deeply with the plot. The reader is able to know so much about her, and she only shows up in minor flashbacks and when sent Nokyoung back.
That's all for my review, hehe. I have a lot more to say, but I don't think I have it in me to type it all out. This was a great read though.
omg one last thing: I WISH GAMORA AND PETERS RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPED LIKE THIS. AS A ROMANCE ENJOYER I HATED HOW THEIR RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPED IT SUCKED IM SORRY I HAD TO SAY IT. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE THISSSSSSS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE THISSS OMG
