when i think about it, he's (was) a straight guy with a womanizer streak
if my friend was dating that guy i would've told 'em to RUN
hope they talk it out and not just jump straight to sex with that chastity belt last comment
a favourite "hate to read it but got too invested" manhua
now the real question is, what's the endgame will this surprise me and have the uke gain perfect mental clarity and finally leave that relationship, or will their spine shrink and disappear, never to be seen again
they really went all out with torturing our mc here, it was such an interesting read
take breaks when binging this! it's HEA but it doesn't help getting through this lol it's such a heavy read
the chokehold this manhua has on me, giggling and swinging my feet in excitement with each update ugh
asada really knows how to make compelling assholes ugH the whole dive into power dynamics in a genre where most of it is usually handwaved away is such a treat and scratches my brain so much
agreed agreeeddd
S1: you will feel frustrated at first, because honestly, everything they do feels stupid and so unnecessarily extra. trust me, i also was tearing my hair off at the main couple's shenanigans with the will they, won't they schtick. the good thing about this that their problems get addressed (sort of) during the later eps, and it reads more as immature people, awkward, and inexperienced getting together
I am hella concerned with how quickly they got together lol, i felt like if they let the awkwardness marinate a bit more, or actually sat down and talked about their feelings it could actually be a contender for a good romance story
kept me interested enough to want to read s2
S2: Story could've been stronger if more hints were dropped at S1, but I'm not sure if stuff just got lost during translation
Overall, a decent read, but nothing to write home about
this didn't hit it for me, our ml feels like bland toast, with the interesting bit of his personality only showing up in the final act, i just wanted him to be a more active participant in his own destiny and life ya know?
this used to be an avenue of fantasies and kinks, now it's just boring fuckfests every other chapter ugH
idk how japan views highschoolers at this point considering this was released in the last 5 years
but they could've put him in early college and the story would still work out lol
