The glasses’ guy’s lack of emotion throughout the whole story really kind of took me out of it and made it hard to sympathize/connect with him. I don’t hate characters with limited emotions/expressions, but you have to still give them some kind of charm or personality to make up for that or at least make them interesting, but that didn’t happen here. Couldn’t find myself rooting for these two at all. Felt indifferent by the end
That up-close shot of his fist suddenly banging on the door was insane, the artistic direction in this one is already very good.
Yay! a crossdressing BL where someone isn’t getting r@ped. Really surprised Hijiri was the bottom though. I prefer cross dressing bottoms, but nowadays authors usually make them the top.
Once again, a gorgeous seme has been wasted on a utterly forgettable story and an equally boring Uke. This could have had a lot more substance
It’s it me or was their reunion kind of anticlimactic? I wanted more excitement, maybe some tears or something. Some signs of YEARNING
Do you know how masterful of a writer you have to be to not only make ONE character a lovable piece of shit, but EVERY character a lovable piece of shit? This is glorious. Haven’t laughed this hard in a while
Shiba is just too unrealistically childish and whiny. Didn’t really feel like a love story between two men. Another victim of the dreaded “must make the uke act like a stereotypical anime schoolgirl” syndrome. The senpai literally admitting he doesn’t even see Shiba as an actual man really seals the deal.
I get what youre saying and im not trying to disagree with you. But I think he meant he didn't see Shiba as a man, he just saw Shiba as Shiba in response to his brothers concern of there being difficulties with the both of them being men. Like "other ppl may see us as 2 men but it's just 2 ppl who love each other to me". I admit it did catch me off guard at first when he said that though
Maybe the original version worded it better than the translation, I could be wrong abt all this ofc
