this is WILDLY underrated holy fuck. the plot is so insanely well fleshed out and especially for such a short manhwa. it's got such an original storyline and MAN THE CHARACTERS!!! these two are so perfect for each other. it's crazy how well this author wrote their dynamic and the development of their relationship in the midst of such a chaotic and action packed plot. everything worked together so fucking well. like their relationship felt SO NATURAL and so beautiful. watching them fall in love with each other, fight for each other and live for each other really hit so hard
can i read and understand this without reading Red Candy?
Yes.
thanks sm for the answer!
this is genuinely SO fucking good but can someone please explain to me their personality types?? i'm so confused like how is jiwoo f and not t?? 50/50 between i and e? when he's the biggest introvert ever and is exhausted around 99% of people? and then daehan 50/50 between f and t, not just f? wtff am i missing something.
i can't tell if it's bc i'm misunderstanding the characters or i'm misunderstanding the myer-briggs personality type system. or maybe the author misunderstanding the personality types?? idk can someone more knowledgeable in this area please enlighten me
I guess we’ll find out in august when season 2 comes? jinwoo isn’t an introvert though, he’s just focused on studying and exhausted from people using him.
wait but how do u define introvert then? isn't the general consensus that introverts are energised by being alone, and extroverts are energised through social interaction? jinwoo sure as hell does not like social interaction and is exhausted by it.

honestly I don't know much about mbti either, I just know there's a mass misunderstanding on what mbti is actually about. For example, I and E do not reflect how outgoing a person is. You can be INTP and still be an extrovert with people
The letters in mbti are decided based on cognitive functions(Introverted Sensing (Si), Extraverted Sensing (Se), Introverted Intuition (Ni), Extraverted Intuition (Ne), Introverted Thinking (Ti), Extraverted Thinking (Te), Introverted Feeling (Fi), and Extraverted Feeling (Fe).)
,
it often simplifies and misconstrues what mbti actually is. I would say do your own research, /r mbti is a good start (2)
Holy fucking spam I hate this site
if multiple of my comments pop up sorry about that
Aight bet something I actually know :)
Carl Jung developed the Jungian Cognitive Functions (8 Functions) was first created and MBTI was developed to make 16 types that we know of sometime way later by Myers-Briggs. The 8 Functions have a more "scientific" standing, while the MBTI doesn't have as big of a reputation for being as valid.
Regardless. In my "opinion" I believe Jin-woo gives off INTP vibes... But that's more in stereotypes, I would say for Cognitive Functions, Ni (Introverted Intuition) and Te (Extroverted Thinking) so INTJ would fit best. For Dae-han my gut says ESFP or ENFP. I'm going with ESFP due to the higher experience with Physical Sensory Experiences. ESFP would be Se (Extroverted Sensing) and Fi (Introverted Feeling). The above comments mention Introvert vs. Extrovert (SOCIAL wise I assume, since energy/social/cognitive/empathy are all ways someone can be extro/introverted) and it's very complicated. But Jin-woo seems Socially Introverted to me.
Obviously that's just the basics, if you want to learn more, https://mbti-notes.tumblr.com/wall is a great resource.
hi!! yes, from my limited knowledge i completely agree with which personality types you gave the two of them. my confusion came from the fact that the author said "Do Jinwoo is INFJ, but he's almost 50/50 between E and I. Lee Daehan is ESTP, but he's almost 50/50 between F and T." i personally agree with you that jinwoo gives 'T' not 'F,' and that daehan gives 'F' not 'T.' then for jinwoo it genuinely makes no sense to me that the author wrote "50/50 between E and I" when he's like 100% an introvert. he does not have a single extroverted bone in his body imo.
Oh no you're completely fine. I understood your point completely. I agree with you. He is not an extrovert at all HAHAHAHAH. I think the author is maybe just not well-aware or knows a lot about MBTI? I'm not sure myself, but maybe that's the case hehe. I can't say for certain though. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
ohh omg HAHA yay! yeahh maybe, it left me questioning everything lmao.
i'm genuinely astonished at how good this was. i had no clue that i was gonna experience a whole masterpiece when i first clicked 'start reading' MANNN 8.8 does not do this justice. everything about this was so well crafted: characters, plot and art. god i love akemi and oka so much, the progression of their relationship throughout the story was just so phenomenally depicted.
sugura was also just the perfect side character for this story. i love how he distinctively feels like his own character too, as in not JUST serving as a wingman but having his own individual identity.
also the little mermaid reference !!! it hit EXTRA hard because i had just studied an extract of it the other day for my illustration assignment and reinterpreted the scene. the author referenced to the perfect fairy tale for this story. not only bc of the idea that "monsters and humans live in different worlds" but also bc hans christian anderson was most likely a closeted homosexual. he wrote a love letter to a male friend who got engaged around the same time he wrote the fairy tale god this was beautiful.
the problem with the uke is NOT the fact that he's a prostitute, it's the fact he keeps taking advantage of the seme's feelings for him, teasing him abt it, inviting him to sex, and then when the seme shows interest in him as a person he gets all pissed off. the uke also never listens to the seme's pleas to stop. i really believe the seme deserved better as he showed nothing but love, kindness and respect towards him this entire time.
now that i just learnt the author actually drew the teacher x hirose tgt as a ship im actually at a loss for words, i dont think anything could describe how disappointed i am. if she made it clear from the start it was teacher x student, ok wtv, not my cup of tea i probably wouldn't have read.
but it's the way she genuinely misled us into thinking this would be wholesome this entire time (and it was wholesome in vol 1), but now all of us are hit with this groomer bs ?? like yes, wtv it's her story she can do what she wants but she surely should have been aware how so many of us who were fans and really enjoyed it would feel about this. like i swear NONE of us were here to see a teacher-student relationship.
Where did you get that hirose and the teacher are a "ship" (I'm assuming you meant couple)?? I can see the interpretation of hirose having a crush on his teacher, but I don't see how the teacher has acted weird towards hirose except maybe the one ride home he gave him
hi!! i meant the twitter post not in the manga sorry i wasn't clear. that's what i meant by "drew [...] tgt as a ship" https://x.com/iimawa21/status/1848192493244019106
i'm hoping that perhaps it's just non-canon art by the author but it's just not looking that great.
i completely had the same perspective as you too so i understand, it's just that after i saw the ship art i was like "wtf" ykwim? like i genuinely thought people were kind of overreacting from the manga, bc i thought it was just an unrequited love with some questionable acts by the teacher (e.g. the 'if you were a girl' flirting) and then i realised why after i saw the tweet
Okay thay is. Weird. For sure. But I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be non-canon? Like, it's hard to say much of anything when these are presented out of context (not that the context would make 'em less weird, but at least we'd know what led to these...) but I think Syundei knows well enough not to draw something this problematic in her most popular manga. My best bet for this is she started this weird thing between hirose and the teacher in the manga out of plot reasons (giving hirose a male crush just to state he's into dudes) but then uh, got sidetracked on her free time. Yikes. But I'm still pretty hopeful about this not becoming canon.
(If it does, I'll probably just try to forget this manga ever existed )
And honestly I see a lot of people point that scene ("if you were a girl") as flirting but I just saw it as more a joke?? Since what hirose said was a pretty tropey, shoujo protagonist line.
My biggest gripe with him is the ride he gave hirose + exchanging numbers like they're just good ol' pals...?? Bc there's certainly a line there somewhere that otogiri is ignoring, which, yk, doesn't say the nicest of things about him...
yeah i have the exact same view on this. i'm honestly just not sure what to expect now. i don't have a problem with hirose having an unrequited love, i think it's a fine plot point, but if she actually ends up making them get together i will be so upset.
oh yeah i agree with you for sure sorry, it's just that part was on my mind the most because i just can't imagine a teacher making that kind of joke to a student. but definitely, the car and number thing was definitely the most suspicious. at my high school i remember it was literally prohibited for teachers to give the students their phone number so i found that weird too
just reread after 3 years, and i really wish i didn't. wtf was that im actually so upset and disappointed i remembered this being super cute but that was definitely just the first volume and i completely evicted what happened in this one from my brain...
im so sad bc i loved the teacher so much in vol 1 and now he comes off kind of creepy :(( i know it's definitely more of a one-sided love from hirose's side but some of the dialogue from the teacher in this sequel just are so suspicious. i want to pretend these two volumes aren't actually connected bc im so sad about what it had become
ok i think i might just end it all i've marinated this for 3 fucking years only to be left on another cliffhanger END ME
there's more chapters here https://mangatoto.com/title/132598-minato-shouji-coin-laundry-official
i love you sm kind individual (づ￣ ³￣)づ
TYSM OMG
Is it completed?
no it's still ongoing with 6 volumes
How often does it get relaesed? do you know ?
Volume 5 for the English official was recently released this year on April 22nd, so I'd say volume 6 will either get released closer to the end of this year or early next year. Last year we got Vol 2-4. I'd recommend just checking out Yenpress' social medias to stay updated since they post pretty regularly about what manga's and comics are being released for both Physical and Digital https://yenpress.com/titles/9781975365240-minato-s-laundromat-vol-1
this is a reupload of Uesugi-kun wa Onnanoko wo Yametai, which has 18 chapters already, be sure u read it there instead !!
Why is this no longer updating?
