i loved this manga very much. it was so realistic and painful in the most relieving way. but at the same time i wish the drawing stayed serious. it was difficult for me to be on the verge of sobbing only to see the next drawing style and the mood immediately disappear.-. anyway just how i felt. but the overall tone and plot of this was really the best. i hope they get to meet again
this was quite a beautiful story. i was very much happy with the main couples relationship and how there was no forced sex even those as the prince he could have done so like the other prince did. i was actually very worried they’d both end up dead like the prophecy foretold and i was clutching my pearls in preparation. but I’m glad i worried for nothing. this ending was great.
currently on 16 and i just needed to come here and vent my annoyance. this blue warhead mf literally bitched and complained the whole time about how Jamil left him, doesn’t love him,’is just playing with him etc etc. and not ONCE did he even think to wonder if he was okay, if something happened or if he ran into trouble. like?? he doesn’t know jamil doesn’t partake in the fights, so why wasn’t that his first concern?? whether he was okay or not? unless i misread somewhere and he spoke about taking meds with the blue warhead.
like, idk i hope it gets better but so far he treats this man as someone that must be with him and must love him? like bro wtf, cool the bond makes him more submissive, but damn treat him like you care about him to some extent, not like a walking dildo that gives you the comfort you’ve been craving. — whew, glad i got that off my chest.
edit: oh shit okay, big ups to Kuntz got to 17 and boom, Kuntz pretty much saying exactly what i was pissed about good good. destroy his blue raspberry ass.
this—this was the most beautiful, pure hearted manga I’ve read in a while?? it felt so effortlessly beautiful and the relationship between them was so complex but simple all at once?? simple because they needed each other, but complex in what they mean to one another.
i was worried that, it would be more of a case of Stockholm syndrome because i thought he’d keep him locked up, or that it would be a cat n mouse relationship where dean was chasing him to kill him, but it turned out so much better than that?? i realllly loved this so much.
Tbh, i was very skeptical in reading this after getting to the 2nd chapter. I figured this would be like other toxic as hell bls where the mc and ml end up together despite the clear toxicity of the relationship. although i don’t like how the doctor went through with things, the overall journey was very interesting. it ended up making more and more sense as i read it, but i was still worried that in the end, the doctor would suddenly magik up some feelings for him and then they’d have some heartfelt bullshit happy ending. (forgive me for my assumptions, most bls tend to be heavy on the toxicity nowadays)
anyway, i really enjoyed it and although i wish we got some sort of epilogue of how the kid ended up in the end, i was still thoroughly surprised and happy with this ending.
I enjoyed reading this to some extent. i wish they addressed both of their backgrounds and i kind of wish cole ended up with brad — putting his own happiness first rather than his lust. My main problem with this was the fact that cole and Alex’ relationship seemed more like glorified committed fuck buddies rather than a relationship. although they were committed to each other, trust was never fully developed on Coles behalf, and clearly, Alex wasn’t as in love as you’re made to think he is. especially with the blow that Brad hit us with that chapter saying that alex is only with Cole because he enjoys looking down on people. like, if that’s the case then it’s all the more fucked.
i agreed with one of the posts i saw before saying that author makes really interesting and complex characters, but they never seem to give them a good end, or resolve their problems in a satisfying way. rather it’s more like the author was like “welp, that’s enough of that.” and tossed them to the side after the last chapter.
I haven't read anything else from the author, so I have no way of knowing the intentions of this manga. But I felt it was supposed to show/portray an unhealthy and toxic relationship without going much into it's particularities. Like it was just made to be looked at and that's it.
I didn't feel like I was supposed to root for anyone (maybe a bit for Brad, but not really), all of the characters were extremely flawed. I personally liked Brad the most, but he still pretty much forced Cole to cheat on Alex and I wouldn't want him to end up with someone who has and could point a gun at someone because they're insecure, y'know.
I found interesting the take on how the author leaves behind their characters before "fixing them up" or without completely finishing them. I think it kinda reflects an interesting part of society: how some people never grow out of their toxic behavior or just never grow up into maturity. And how sometimes you just have to leave them before they could change, in the way us the readers have to leave the text before the characters get that "good end" or resolve their problems because it "became too much for us to take" (like you might do in real life).
Sorry for such I long answer!! I got excited when I started thinking a bit too much about this hahahah <3
That’s actually a really interesting way to look at though. if this was how the author intended then yeah, i can see the value of it. I’ve never read any of their other stuff either so i wouldn’t know. it’s hard to tell the difference in an intended toxic relationship thats meant to portray a certain meaning and give make you feel complex emotions, or if it’s toxic because that’s how bl authors believe mlm relationship are supposed to be, you know?
i like your outlook on it tho, so I’m gonna take it to be the former
AHHHB THIS WAS WAY MORE EMOTIONAL THAN I EXPECTED AND I WASNT READY TO CRY WTF IS THIS HELP
tbh I’m on chapter 9 and although so far it’s pretty interesting, i don’t think i have the emotional capability to read this. already, I’m getting to emotionally upset over the fact that everyone’s holding secrets and it’s fucking with my anxiety. I’m usually not good at reading/watching shit like this to begin with but i was thinking it would be okay.
idk why I’m like this, but damn. anyway, after reading some of the comments here, i feel like dropping it wouldn’t be a miss and reading it would just be a waste of my time and my already frayed mental so maybe I’ll pick it up one day, but for now I’m dropping it
okay first of all i am sooooo like?? distraught? upset? annoyed?? at myself? idk part of me really feels like the cousins should have ended up together, but another part wishes he ended up with jimin.
the whole thing was damn toxic, but tbh the entire time after he and jimin got together the first time and he was still messing with his cousin, i couldn’t help thinking that he’s probably just poly but yk lack of knowledge and understanding would end up so terribly toxic and painful for everyone involved.
but i truly think he may have just been poly. it’s not hard to have feelings for two people, especially when you get to know them on different levels. it doesn’t make any of this okay, because a, they’re goddamn cousins, and b, buddy was like his student so it’s all fucked and all wrong. he lead them both on and couldn’t figure out what he wanted. he was definitely wrong but damn...it was definitely an interesting read.
