This author is like a goddess to me. Her work so far always feels very emotional & touching but feels loving & has a sense of humanity. In addition, from both her two works I've read so far, I appreciate the historical inspiration that gets incorporated which really enrichen the worlds, along with the research & care gone into crafting it. I REALLY appreciate that it feels she looks to history & the world in general for inspiration for story & setting. It feels very worldly! Yuki to Matsu took place in the Edo period & now this one seems to draw alot of inspiration from the '70s. It's just gets better for me because I love that time period!! Anyways, I agree with everyone when they say this work or this author in general is underrated because it's true. Her work is like a shining gem. There done, long spiel over. P.s. her work is amazing love it forever
The art is SO GOOD. Especially the background/ setting art.
For improving the storytelling, I believe it should spend more establishing the kind of society the MC lives. I feel the story relies on our knowledge of homophobia in the real world, but reader's have varying degrees of knowledge about that.
We understand why the MC is so afraid using our real world as reference, but there is only one scene showing this which feels underwhelming. I think that's why some of us sympathize with the MC & others think he's a pussy.
Or the author was trying to show that one incident was enough to scar the MC. It was communicated that this was traumatizing to the MC because he was cruelly rejected. The thing is, this important scene was executed underwhelmingly because it did not have enough emotion. There is not much tension felt for readers to know the emotional stakes. I want to suggest maybe a few more panels indicating his nervousness, anticipation , & affection so we know this was impactful. I thought it was a bit too fast.
This is just personal opinion, not facts.
Cover looks so much like Ten Count to me. I thought it was like a sequel
Oh my goodness that last chapter was so terribly beautiful. Oh Lord.
I'm such a sap, it's 1 am & I'm just trying really hard not to cry. This author made such loving, gorgeous piece of work. I have the highest respect for it. Can't wait to see what's next for the second part.
Does anyone know where this English translation comes from?? I don't remember seeing any scan credits in the manga so it seems to me like this just materialized from thin air.
Would it also be possible for Yuki to Matsu to ever be officially published in English ( so I can buy the damn book)?
It was translated by Anonymous, who is also well-known for being the scanlator of many of Nishida Higashi's works.
Hmm Nishida Higashi.. Sounds interesting! Thank you for the information, I'd love to thank them, they're doing amazing translating entire volumes!
Oh my god I'm like crying tears of joy! I thought I'd never read an eng translation of this. This author is an ABSOLUTE GEM. Seriously, this makes my damn year, thank you.
OHHHH MYYYY GODDDDDD IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!! SERIOUSLY, THANK YOU TO WHOEVER UPLOADED THIS, BLESS YOU!!!!
But please do me the favor of telling me WHO is the saint translating this?? Or where do they find the translation???
Hi, I'm interested in reading this since it's always on the front page.
Can someone tell me what kind of story this consists of? What should I expect when reading this?
I know it starts off with a cam boy & his fan boy in the beginning but I'm hoping it gets better than that..??
I'm really happy with the way their relationship is now, but Alex is a giant dick to Donghyun for like a really long time. Basically, Alex has a lot of baggage and can't bring himself to think about relationships which translates to him being mean to Donghyun. However, Donghyun did leave him for a bit, and Alex had to do a lot of penance before they came to a reconciliation, which is something most yaoi don't do. Also, the sex scenes are really hot (if that's your thing.)
Oh ok, thank you! That definitely helps me alot!
You're welcome! Glad to help
