O shit i was like "whomst?????" when i saw the last panel and thought that it was just a new guy but THEN i realized it was no other than the mullet man..... with NO MULLET........shocking

MC with social anxiety as bad as mine yay

I'm really relieved that at least everything that happened between them is consensual (though their first time is far from ideal). I've been putting off reading this since forever because i was scared that it would have rape/dubious consent like most highly rated BL mangas here.

Kinda confused though by how fast director kang moving on from his ex to having a terrible night stand with yiyoung and thinking that he's lower than the gum on his shoes to seeing yiyoung in a new light to falling heads over heels for him. Like, this is speedrun level of romantic development lmao. I guess it's fair if the other party is as unfairly beautiful and capable as yiyoung? Idk. But the sex scenes are hot (with belly bulges too, jesus fucking christ on a bike) and more importantly, CONSENSUAL, so I won't complain much.

I like it so far, ngl want the webtoon to just end here so there wouldn't be unnecessary drama.

If the scanlation team is interested, i can help translating. My korean is somewhat decent, i was one of the translators for the Fools webtoon, so if anyone needs my help just hmu.

Some people don't understand that the things you were told as a kid, especially by your parents, can REALLY fuck you up. I should know--i can pinpoint a lot of problems with me that stemmed from what people told me when i was young. That's why it's such an irony when kyousuke's dad told his wife to watch out what she was saying because it could ruin kyousuke when it was him that ruined his child the most.

Kyousuke's internalized homophobia makes sense, and so are his actions towards kasumi. And him deciding what's best for kasumi without consulting him--that makes sense too. People do that all the time, especially towards their loved ones. Heck, kyousuke's dad did that to him. I'm sure i do that too, unknowingly.

It's tough dealing with internalized homophobia. It's confusing and damaging and hurtful both to yourself and people you're in love with. I used to be that way. I used to try justifying every effort i took to distance myself from "queerness" as something that can make me truly happy, eventhough the truth is far from that. Because i used to think that being queer is wrong, because people around me see being queer as the worst that you can be. I know i've hurt people because of this, but still i'm glad that for now, i can honestly say to myself that there's nothing wrong with loving the people i love. And i'm glad that kyousuke was able to do that too in the end.

I think this manga is about understanding and acknowledging the things you want, while still being able to let go of them to choose what's most important to you.

For mishima, what he wanted to do is to give his mother a big family so she wouldn't be alone. He was ready to pretend to be straight so he could get married and have children. But in the end, the most important thing to him was being able to honestly and proudly acknowledge his identity--so he chose that.

Meanwhile, kirino was the opposite. He wanted to be true to himself, to go to "Shangri-La" where no one could judge him for who he was. It took a lot out of kirino to finally be true to himself, yet he still let go of all that because to him, his mother's happiness will always be the most important.

Shouta is the bestest ever

"If you love me, prove it! Let me fist you!"

I'm fucking---i get what that scene meant to be but that line was so out of the blue i actually died laughing

I was thinking about the latest development and came to the conclusion that, yeah, sure. It does make sense. It makes sense that seungho reacted that badly. He never got any reassurance from nakyum after confessing to him and he received zero comfort/any form of therapy to help him have character development at this point. It also makes sense that nakyum was terrified out of his wits to say the truth, because that's just how afraid commoners were of the nobles, and how afraid nakyum was of the situation in general.

BUT.

But, the thing is i'm disappointed with the author because she chose this route. She could've chosen a plot where seungho and nakyum have their character development, but instead, she chose this. It's true to their characters, sure, but it's so repetitive and hurtful. Like, we get it. Seungho is fucking insane and nakyum is powerless. We got that memo since the first episode. It could've gone to a better route, but the author chose this one, i guess because she'd planned this to be dark, and i can respect that. But i guess i can't bear to keep reading about rape and sexual assault in a community i was hoping to feel safe in, so i'm dropping this manhwa for good.

Uhh not to be ungrateful/disrespectful to the translator but i read the raws and found that there are a lot mistranslations (some of them major) in the last few chapters uploaded here...
