mtdto asked a question

Hi I'm looking for a manga that was about two highschoolers on the baseball team. It was shounen ai. It also had a sequel of their story that was yaoi.

Wow! Thank you for updating!

Idk why the MC is being convinced by the ML. It’s an extenuating circumstance. It’s not fair to the friend (nothing about the situation was fair), but the MC had to make a judgement call in the moment. Emergency service members are taught “life over limb.” The MC’s choice didn’t make him dirty or prove he threw his justice away.

The MC is woefully naive though. As a cop you should know to never 100% trust someone, even your fellow cops. There are so many crooked cops. Cops are just people. People can be both good and bad. So obviously there’d be bad cops. Also, if you’re a cop that long you for sure have at least looked the other way when you saw other cops doing wrong, so in a way there’s eventually not a completely clean cop….

But you know that “no ethical consumption under capitalism” argument… no one is perfectly clean. We just try to be better and do better as we live our lives.

MC needs to give himself some grace.

I like the story. I’m enjoying this. I hope JJK can heal. I hope Kim Dan can heal. I hope they can be happy whether they get together or they don’t. But lbfr we all know they’ll end up together.

That scene felt so unsexy for some reason. Like it was some poorly written sex scene. It was cringey…

Not to victim blame but the MC is kinda dumb. Like you think he’d be more aware since he’s a cop.

Well, if we give him the benefit of the doubt… Yui probably doesn’t have much (if any) experience with normal/healthy interpersonal relationships (platonic or non-platonic), and he probably doesn’t have a ton of self-esteem/self-confidence either. So, he probably would need things spelled out for him clearly.

Yui was even surprised because he thought they didn’t intend for him to be in the picture with everyone while they were out for bbq, even though he was clearly part of that interaction.

Everyone wants jiwoo to lose for a change so it can help him grow and whatnot. But I love consistently op/winning main characters. I'll never get bored of him pulling through by a hair's breadth.

This may be a controversial opinion but I always enjoy when translators add their own opinions and whatnot regarding the story they’re translating

Yes, “what the hell is going on” is a sentiment I can get behind.

I know I should let this marinate but it’s so good I can’t resist reading every update.

It should be criminal to make an omegaverse story and not have them have kids in the end.

So Akira was like 15 when the brother’s friend, who was like 21 years old, took advantage of him? That is an actual child. A 15 year old boy is maybe beginning puberty… but then lots of places say 13 year olds can marry adults with their parents permission so I think the people who make laws around the world are just nasty.

But yea, tbh I’m not surprised when it comes to yaoi. I think that more often than not it’s super problematic. It’s more rare to find a healthy dynamic or characters in yaoi. But tbh I’m kinda tired of media making queer stories that revolve around toxicity/abuse/other unhealthy dynamics. But then I remind myself that it’s Japanese, and they probably have lots of stigma and prejudice towards the queer community and probably can only understand it through that “tragic” lens….

Wait so was sihyun a virgin?? He said to himself that if he knew sex was this good he’d have done it sooner, didn’t he?

Also, when asked what he can do for the ML in return for a chance, couldn’t the MC say that on top of his job he’ll do translation work for free? Like he didn’t have to say he’ll do anything he’s told. He could’ve offered his translation. But I get it, it’s BL.
