I was scared halfway through this manwha. I thought it would end up being a Stockholm syndrome type deal and not only that, its a "im gay for you" story. I can't really stand it but the way the author knew everything she was doing with all of the psychological, social and personal affects of psychopathy made me appreciate that aspect of the story. Not to mention the art is stunning and one of the reasons I pressed on. My biggest problem with this, is it plays into the whole idea that someone thinks they can change a psychopath. It's a dangerous mindset and idea to spread, especially if there are younger readers. You can't change someone hardwired the way are, and don't try to. But all in all, I liked this manwha. I liked how gritty it was. It gave me Death Note vibes and I love the character designs. 8/10 id recommend it to psychology fans.
The goal of Kirin is NOT to change Moo, but to protect him by keeping the beast inside of him on hold (as he can).
Yeah, I don’t feel like this was a story where someone was trying to change the other. Kirin is well aware of the type of person he’s dating and he has no illusions of that changing.
Maybe some people could misconstrue some of his actions as trying to “change” Kang Moo, but he’s pretty much accepted the fact that someday the other party might go off the rails and there is nothing he can do but watch him fall.
I don’t think that’s something someone who wants to change someone would think and I don’t think that’s what he’s trying to do at all.
Exactly
The story is targeted at 18+
that's understandable. But like I did there could be people who believe that's what he's doing.. And even if something is 18+ doesn't mean there aren't people below that who are reading it. Reading this is as easy as opening mangago and reading it.
I think the tag debate can be labeled as a marketing thing. Japan is still very traditional and behind when it comes to queer rights and visibility. The author wrote a BL, and was labeled as BL. That's how its sold. But art is subjective, including text. Which means you are free to interpret a story any way you please, just like your English teachers did in middle school while you read To Kill A Mockingbird. You get to decide whether or not J is indeed a Trans woman or a transvestite. In things like BL, the "bottom" is seen as a female for being a bottom, which is a possibility when it comes to this manga. It took that literally. But I think that the tag is less important, and your feelings about it are what you should focus on. That is the reason we fight. It's heartwarming to see a story about a Trans woman. Even as bittersweet as this one. So please do not stop fighting, and let J be recognized as a woman, and not as the depraved, traumatized gay man who likes to dress as a woman this could be interpreted as.
TL;DR, fuck the tags, 2004 fucking sucked. Art is subjective which means J is a trans woman who went through hell and back to be herself.
Poor author, you could tell they rushed their ending. Not sure if it was intentional, a time crunch or their plan all along. Cute ending though (●'◡'●)ﾉ
Lmao, all the people learnin about scat. This is why children shouldn't be allowed on the internet, go finish your math homework, you fucks XD
I agree children shouldn’t be allowed on the internet, especially sites like these, but not everyone would knows about scat either. I had to search it up as well
Excuse me, Author. There seems to be some smut in your head canon story xD
This is by far one of the best SNK doujins I've read. THIS is what Isayama meant when he said that Levi and Erwin were more than just comrades. This is stunning and so well thought out, all doujins should be like this Wth?????
Love the art and character design. They do look a bit wonky at times but i love it! I'd love to see more updates!(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
fuckin Joowoon... he's probably a gemini...fuckin gemini man.. I'm telling you.
he's too possessive to be a gemini.... maybe he's a taurus or a scorpio, but the last one suits him better
Joowoon is 100% Leo. The author already gave the birth dates sometime ago. Heeso is an aquarius and Taku is a scorpio. Just like Fadafujoshi said, geminis are not possessive nor do they obsess over people like leos or scorpios.
oooohh, true! i forgot the author gave us the birthdates!! but i feel he has scorpio in his chart too, maybe because he likes to set boundaries for Haesoo but totally ignores when it's him that need to have them!
Its funny you say that because a while back I wanted to know what their zodiac signs are so I decided to do a birth chart on all 3 of them and Joown has Scorpio as his pluto sign And Haesoo has Scorpio in Jupiter and Pluto as well. And Taku has Scorpio in his sun and Mercury.
No fucking wonder I relate to the way Haesoo is scared of forming attachment. Like he is meant to be a free spirit while Joowon over here tryna hold him back. Poor little Aquarius, we so misunderstood some times smh (〜￣△￣)〜
Oh yes! aquarius have a hard time forming attachment (just like geminis) but Haesoo is a little too soft for an aquarius, though. Maybe that scorpio on his birth chart (as Girasol mentioned) might had something to do with it. Scorpios tend to be a little more emotional (they are water signs after all) than an aquarius which is an air sign. Btw, I am pleasantly surprise to find some many people here are interested in astrology. I always try to figure out which astrological sign the characters he/she belongs to based on their behavior. Its fun! :D
One hundo, no doubt!
I'm always reading mangas thinking like "tsc that's totally capricorn" (for example), it's stronger than me, I'm totally an astrology fan kkkkkkk
Himbos, Himbos everywhere ~ww °▽°
