I have no problem with it being shotacon. But why is it so obviously oversexualized, like I'm reading some smut-shotacon-oneshot with typical older-brother-mc-who-obviously-isn't-gay and cute boy with *cough* perking nipples *cough*, but without smut?? It doesn't seem right... It could be just a pure story without all the sexual hints. It's so weird, I don't know how to feel about it...
i guess it has something to do with the genre itself.
accdg to wiki, shotacon:
"It refers to a genre of manga and anime wherein pre-pubescent or pubescent male characters are depicted in a suggestive or erotic manner"
so if it's shotacon, then it's obviously going to be sexualized, in most cases.
(plus, it looks like there's an additional ecchi tag too, so there's that)
I mean, I guess?.. But it's rare to see that kind of shotacon without h-scenes, you know... ._. So I wonder what is the purpose of this story... It's definitely not pure enough to be all "kyaaaaa, how cute! ><" and it lacks erotic stuff in order to satisfy one's inner pervert... Hmmm... Yeah, maybe it's "ecchi"s fault.
Thank you for the updates! I can't, I just LOVE this manhwa so much, and especially Suu! >w< Every time he chooses words so carefully and wisely, I really admire him!
But to be honest. I still don't understand one thing... How come Suu, a man, is allowed to be in the palace harem part? Is he partly eunuch or something?.. ( ̄▽ ̄;)ゞ Sorry, if someone asked it before, I didn't see it, and the question quite bothers me, bc that's the only thing that seems illogical here ._. But I believe, it's not "illogical" - I just can't understand...
The theory about split personalities sounds like the most reasonable for me so far. And then it's like Doyoung erases all sides of hyung that don't meet his expectations of him, and thus creates his "ideal hyung". But that's sad, man... Why did they need to get in this situation in the first place??
Oh, I guess bc we need a good angsty manhwa. Well... ( ̄▽ ̄;)ゞ









This manga has one of my favorite plot tropes and is just so good... т-т I'd like to read something similar at least...
