seeing the newest comments come from 2021 makes me happy for some reason<3
the fact that this doujinshi has been published from some years ago but still getting the warm responses melts my heart. i remember sting my eyes hard because aomine/kise story here was so heartbreaking. there are another djs written by tanaka-sensei as well, that (imo) somewhat linked to this story titled "caramel ribbon ga hodokeru mae ni" ((the prequel)) and "sunny syrup" ((the sequel))
"caramel ribbon ga hodokeru mae ni" sets after they've been dating for some time in high school and aomine been contemplating to have sex with kise. so he regularly asking kuroko for tips--and ahomine thought that kuroko was gay for kagami lol. they both still naive, young, and virgin hahaha. it's so cute!!
while "sunny syrup" sets when they're already past 30, around mid-30 to be exact. aokise continued dating and cohabitated together and they regularly visit kuroko/momo's house. kise still work as a model while aomine retires from being a basketball player and he becomes a basket trainer for some kids. kuroko/momo's kid has grown up as a teenager and he got a little crush on kise, so every time kise comes to visit his parents, he tried to amaze him lel
OMG THIS IS LITERALLY MY YOUTH. I READ THIS WHEN I WAS A SENIOR IN HS UNTIL MY SOPHOMORE YEAR IN UNI LOL. i remember every saturday night i cooped myself up in my room and read the updated chapter while imagining i could also get an amazing love story like this one lol. then not long after i got busy with uni activities and have no time, i dropped this and not really enganging in pop culture. and now i'm a working adult and suddenly this plot popped up in my midnight thoughts, so i browsed it ((and to my surprise, it's also still ongoing)) and THIS IS STILL AS BEAUTIFUL AS EVER(╥﹏╥)
y'all should really try reading this atleast once. it's beautiful ngl
urgh? it's painful to read because people like soohyun be exist irl but sometimes if we're in baekyeon's shoes, we couldn't realize it right away if they were manipulating us. it's clear soohyun got codependency issue due to his past bullying and suicide attempt, and maybe after that soohyun was the only one around him like he mentioned he got no other because his own family died long ago. it's not impossible if baekyeon got too conscious of soohyun's words and asking junghyuk for a break up because of it;;;;;
people say this was good so i read it too but ha? i got disappointed. the premise is actually good, but the way it executed is messed up. however i pulled it til the ending just to know how it ends, and my impression didn't change
there's no appealing characters at all. they could be great if only their personalities being built some more, but no. they're only a bunch of half-assed characters that won't make you symphatize or feel their situation at all. a savage student who turns into rude hikkikomori when he found 2D universe? that's stupid. the mc aka shun is not fully hateable but still there's no x-factor that will make you remember him after finished reading
and is that really necessary to add those hentai cupids? and the bondaged mc? these poor attempt of putting dirty jokes feels so cringe










THEY'RE THE ONE WHO'S BEING LOVEY DOVEY, BUT WHY AM I THE ONE WHO FEELS THE FLUTTERING FEELING AND EMBARASSMENT QAQ
i thought youngmin would confess first so it's kinda surprised me that gongchan decided to reveal his identity;;;;; what would they do now that youngmin has known who's the author ((i got guts he knew beforehand)) and how they have to deal to make the ghosts dissapear? would they officially dating???
