Misunderstanding Trope is if the alpha seme was actually in love with the uke and he just had trouble expressing himself, and the uke misunderstood. But the alpha ACTUALLY did not like the uke back for years, and he BARELY started to realize he finds the uke cute before the pregnancy, which is why he tries to find a different sex partner after they broke the contract. The uke did not "misunderstand", he just took the alpha seme's actions as is. This counts as a "Late Realization of Feelings" trope, not a Misunderstanding Trope.
You are correct
Thank youuu now I know I'm not crazy I kept wondering why everyone else was saying it was just a misunderstanding
I honestly find Zigril being jealous and possessive of Kay adorable I loveeee semes who are like that, but (raws and novel spoilers ahead) him being in denial everytime he's confronted about having feelings/being in love with Kay is so frustrating and harmful to their relationship.
Like later when Kay asked him, "do you like me?" his reply was no and that he was probably going to get tired of Kay soon. Are we surprised that it made Kay break down and not really give his heart to Zigril after that no matter what Zigril did for him? Helloooo why would Kay trust you enough to fall in love with you after saying that???
Not sure if it's just because the novel translation I read had some wonky parts, but to me the ending seemed like Kay just accepted his fate of being the mother of Zigril's child. He liked Zigril "enough", but I wouldn't call it love. Well, at least it's not a typical ending, I guess.
I didn't expect this to be sooo cuuuuute!!! Baby Ahn Soo-ah is literally the cutest cuteness aggression is so real And them he grew up to be one of the prettiest semes ever aaahhhh
"END"??? Nooooo I wanted more I kept getting distracted by Olya's beauty my goodness
That belly bulge tho, wow........ "It's hitting that spot" you mean your appendix????
And I'm supposed to ship them together? On what grounds exactly?
Accdg to some other spoiler comments, let's let author cook this time!!!
This is coming back this summer so I decided to re-read and I just realized, in the last panel, Hanjoo is going to break up with sunbae. "I first have to empty the hands I've greedily filled" aaahhh idk how to feel I still can't decide who to ship Hanjoo with :(
So it’s official? We’ll get a season 2??
SO THERE'S OFFICIALLY A SEASON 2???? GAWDDDD THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAY
Do y'all notice that a lot of Japanese bl manga seem to be written with the same pattern?
- Innocent uke falls in love with experienced seme
- Experienced seme has personal issues
- Those personal issues cause problems in their relationship, so seme pushes uke away/breaks up with him
- It's the uke that chases seme and they end up together again
Please tell me some of you notice it too because I've been reading Japanese bl mangas for years and more so recently and have been noticing this pattern so much from different bl manga authors that I thought I was reading from the same author.
I've said this before on this site but I really think Japan as a society tend to romanticize selfishness and self-destruction. Whoever has these personal issues in a story always get to act however they want, hurt the one they love in the process, and get no flack for it. Is it like an internalized longing to be as they are and to be understood for it and suffer no consequences? I think so. Idk maybe it's just meee

yea i actually noticed mangas with same old flow of them story
for me its more like, manipulating another persons emotion is a thing in order for your relationship to work, or something with pushing and pulling your partner like the problem cant be solved with communication or something like that, kinda generic in some sense
its like painting the same thing but using other colors~ idk it maybe indeed innate to them and in their culture
