Wait, now i'm confused, isn't Donnelly's brother the one who married another guy, the one with prosthetic leg in the previous chapters? How come he suddenly died in afghanistan?? Or was it his cousin? I totally forgot
The plot has some holes and the author changes a couple of details from time to time. They probably forget what they had written previously. So, at the start of the story Donelly says he had an older brother that was gay. Later, the person in the wheelchair is introduced as his cousin. And further ahead, it is said that his brother died in the army. So, Donelly could have more than one brother, being one of them gay and another that died. And a cosing that was a militar, got wonded and started a gay relationchip. Or the author is just confused and forgot the plot. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Thanks for the explanation
Different person. Being gay pretty much runs in the family. lol. There's no plot holes in this one. It's just that stuff gets resolve too conveniently. I read the novels and sequels are a bit better. You're in it for the author's commentaries about sexuality and relationships really rather than the story or characters.. which somehow this adaptation kinda misses to hit the mark.
Imma go kyaaaaa kyaaaa kyaaaaa (≧∀≦)
The last thing that cud happen is for Jaejin to saw this and disrupt the harmony
$10 he’s going to come!
Just wanna write this for the attention of lezhin readers here, we can suggest things to lezhin using customer support menu. I tried suggesting lezhin to take this for official trans since well i love this series so much and wanna support the author plus getting a reguler updates with language i can understand...and they answered will be taken into consideration, I guess and hope if more and more readers make the same suggestion they might take it seriously...so guys, maybe if u have lezhin app, like this series and dont mind spending money in exchange for regulae updates u can suggest it ot lezhin US^^
P.s i did the same with Base to Base and magically 2 days after they answered the same way they released the trans! Tho i'm pretty sure it's not because of my request but hey who knows maybe out there they were a hundred others requesting the same thing with me so they put an act to it...
It's cute, but isn't he freeloading too much? He should at least pay lmao
Idk what this is about, virtual dream? Inception? Or voodoo lmao but I'll stick around cos the seme is real bastard it's refreshing lol
And ooh dear Sangwoo turns out to have a sadistic old bro too hahaha...guess it runs in ur family, no?
majority of top BLs have sadistic seme. it's not exactly refreshing. it's a common trope. as anon says, it is a well-used, cliched plotline.
if you are interested in the the trope, i can give you a few titles.
Naah,,im not interested in sadistic seme, the reason i said so it's bcs many of those sadistic seme has the one-sided worship from the uke, they don't even know they are being taken advantage of...like say BJ alex, now that's cliche af! Well, ks is as well but it has interesting plot. This one atm the couple still hate each other so it's extra hilarious plus i wanna see what's causing that linking fantasy
maybe for the newer webtoons but in the majority of the sadistic seme mangas i have read(and i've read plenty), uke dislikes the seme and some even hate him at the start but slowly fall inlove with him. Best example is K-sensei series.
Waah, doesn't Kirishima so over protective before?? I wud've expected him to guard against his lil bro's boyfriend, but instead he supports it lol
Such a nice story!! Haha i just have one comment, finally a yaoi scene where the guys have normal size nipples and did not play around with it lmaooo
Wow, I always like a shounen ai manga when they use japanese traditional cultures in the plot..it becomes very informative. But anyone here understands japanese culture care to explain how accurate this manga is in depiciting kabuki world?
Is kabuki stage really being passed down for generations in the family and become a real deal family business like this?
Can that family/actor become well-known and rich like getting featured in magazines and all?
I've searched articles for kabuki, and it seems they usually wear elaborate makeup...but here some of them even use bare faces, is that happen often in kabuki stage?
Any info will be much appreciated
I know this one kabuki actor and his name is Ebizo.
And yes, being a kabuki actor is passed down to the following generation.
I think the manga shows how kabuki is like. Yes, kabuki is a rather closed art community, and most actors perform for their family business.
Actors pass on their stage name from generation to generation. Like in a manga someone shouted from audience to Sougorou "Tamano". I think it's his stage name? Many stories are well know for everyone so it's important how actor plays it compared to for example their father. Some poses are specific and it's hard to learn, and the most hard part is speech - search on youtube, they say everything with such intonation even some japanese can't say what they're talking. So it's impossible for someone who is 20 years old to start as kabuki actor. They are trained from childhood. Kabuki is a more open to actor interpretation than Noh performance where you really have a strict script on how you move every finger haha. Kabuki star actors often appear in television or movies so yes, they can become a huge celebrity.
I didn't see kabuki without make up because this is a way to show audience the type of character actor plays and their personality (there are 8 style roles for actors: hero, villian, woman, demon etc.). There are mostly 2 types of performance - historical dramas and domestic melodramas. Costiumes and make up is important to represent time in history the play is located, the characters etc.
Kabuki changes, so even if most kabuki actors wear make up, maybe there is some trend to not do it (for example like modern plays??). Well that's what I have read for classes but I don't live in japan so maybe something is not right xD
Okay, an inexperienced girl here, i like this story a lot, but it left me a big question as always for yaoi stories... Is it possible for a steaight guy to fall in love with just one man and not others? Wouldn't that make him a bi then? And moreover, he's the uke here...
In my opinion hes bi, i dont beileve a straight person can fall the same sex and still be considered straight lol. Ppl think that being bi means your attracted to men and women equally but sometimes you prefer one sex over the other so maybe hes a bi with with a preference for women lol, idk tho lol.
Ya I always think maybe they're demisexual? but idk
honestly i think people are putting tags over it way too much, can't he just like that person without any regards to who he's 'normally' supposed to be attracted to? it's not like this concerns other people in the end it's just about them
Is heteroflexible/ homoflexible the same as Bi ?
It is technically possible. Sexual attraction for a particular gender is more a spectrum than a strict yes-no choice. Some people are exclusively attracted to one gender, but more often people don't fit neatly into one category. It is not uncommon to primarily be attracted to one gender, but still have some small attraction to another. It's not quite bi, but it's more fluid than straight or gay.
However, most societies put such huge negative pressure on homosexual attraction, especially for men, that people are more likely to repress or deny any sort of attraction. These stories are mostly wish fulfillment about having a love that transcends all boundaries, even "normal" attraction. This story is doubly so, with love that transcends gender AND love that perfectly understands "what you truly feel" despite your contradictory actions.
I like your thinking. My thoughts exactly
alrighty!!! The closure for the girl and Xiang love problem.....now to concentrate with LiHuan Yuyang
