( ̄へ ̄)the art is amazing, the scenes are hot.... why do I feel so disconnected to this story? Me understanding and remotely relating to any of them seems sped up or like a time skip happened without me knowing it, or its so formulated I can't like it anymore.
Idk how to break this down but imma try.
We start of meeting Alex the web cam porn star whateverthefuck. Dojin orwhateverhisnameis likes him. Cool.
Plot twist he goes to the school. Amazing. Alex doesn't show interest in him, but entertains himself with Dojin. Fine. Like it. Love it. Here for it.
Now out of nowhere whilst hittin it from the back Alex gets sprinkles of feeling but continues on his shit. Mmm okay?
Continuing to be a terrible "bad guy" cuz at this point he's playing the role of a bad guy despite us knowing he likes dojin, but for him these feelings are "foreign". Whatever.
Instead of giving him a backstory that fits him not knowing what love is, they give him one where he did know and is now trying to protect himself. Which makes no sense. Or even the way they set it up. He's being a dick the whole time and now theyre like "the readers gotta love him! He has to come out the hero! Dojin cant look like the victim! This aint no onesided love. This is a bl. And in bls they gotta love eachother. Like in the shojo mangas!" "Well what do they do in shojo mangas sir?" "I tell you wtf they do; THEY GET A MOTHERFUCKN OUTSIDE CHARACTER OUT THEIR ASS TO MAKE THE HEROINE JEALOUS IN TURN WILL MAKE THE HEROINE REALISE HIS LOVE!"
They show small flashbacks out of no where along the way as some form of terrible foreshadowing. "Oh what is thiiisss? Is it a good flash back? A bad flash back? Whooo knoooowwwss!!! BAM A SAPPY BACK STORY THAT'LL FOR SURE GET THE READERS ON HIS SIDE AND SUPPORT THE SHIP WE HAVE ALREADY MADE FOR THEM AND GIVEN THEM NO OTHER OPTION BUT TO LIKE SINCE DOJIN DOESNT FORM RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER PEOPLE OR ONLY TALKS TO PEOPLE WHEN ALEX IS NOT IN THE PICTURE"(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
So here we are after this stupid ass back story that was unnecessary and these chopped up cliche characters (really its just alex's character that bothers me and the way they paired everyone) we sit here expected to feel sorry for alex after his Denzel tear ( ̄へ ̄)i just need this to end pronto, i have other things i need to waste my emotional investment on
Pleasedontbeliketokyoghoulpleasedontbeliketokyoghoulpleasedontbeliketokyoghoul (/TДT)/ i really like this manga so far, and if it goes down the tokyo ghoul route we're gonna have problems. I see some similarities but its still orginal in its own way. All im saying is that I hated season 2 of tokyo ghoul, so i dont want to be disappointed with this either. If jesus really loved me, he'd bless this manga
