this was so freaking cute, what a great balm for my soul
a lil weird in places, and god help me but i kept reading uke's name as "emu" like the bird which was weird for me ngl
still a wonderful wholesome read tho

Sanpaku-eyed Ikariya Emu is a young man who has known poverty and hardship since childhood. After th...

i
what
this was so rushed and very strange. and why were two of them minors for literally the entire story. middle schooler???? oh, hell naw. i kept reading expecting there to be a time skip for the middle schooler but nope he gets into high school and that's when they fuck. bruh. and the stepbrother-middle brother relationship development was so tacked on at the very end. at least he got into university first though, but the emphasis put on the middle schooler storyline was just really disturbing.

uhhhh the time spent on understanding and potentially defending abuser's point of view/motivations was really not it for me
like i get that some people are interested in that kind of psychology, the same way people watch true crime stories, and whatever but like. it wasn't just one page or even one storyline it was multiple, a repeating storyline of "he abused me because" or worse "he wouldn't have abused me if"
no. nope. noooope.
the mindset of an abuser doesn't matter anyone but a researcher (sure as fuck not the victim) bc it ultimately boils down to "i wanted to"
whatever the catalyst does. not. matter. bc there's always a hundred million other people suffering that trauma or that rage or that insecurity and they *chose* to hurt someone else when faced with those emotions and situations that are very common. it's their own goddamned fault no matter what.
this didn't even feel like a romance storyline by the time I DNF'd at shibuya's reappearance and we had yet another defending abusers conversation
pity bc this had potential but it aged like spoiled milk

should have read the comments
that 39 was a fucking jumpscare that the author did not need to leave to the very end cuz he looked no more than 25 at most
i am in my late 30s and neither myself nor anyone i know at my age could pass for early 20s
i know asians don't age til they're like 70 and then suddenly overnight it his them all at once (not meant as a racist statement i'm highkey jealous cuz white people age like milk unless you have money, leave us out for two hours and we already have that old people stink) but it more seems like this author didn't put any effort into actually showing his age cuz it was easier to sameface it. like damn put a lil eye wrinkle or something.

i literally stopped reading this to let it cook after the three solid chapters of rape at the end of s1 and i come back to check on it and all the comments are about the fucking rapist
can someone spoil me, does the 'main couple' even get any screentime in the last 25 chapters??? bc if this is just the Redhair Show then i'm not really all that interested in continuing

i don't generally mind the genre of "falling for the not-blood-related person who raised you" when it's done very carefully
this was not done carefully
oh well

these freaky little cuties, loved every second of this

...

man...the first 10~ chapters of this made it a contender for bl of the year but
what the actual fuck is even happening
author must be stressed cuz this is just, nonsense now
the random jokes in the middle of being kidnapped and almost-raped? no honey. no.

this is so fucked up
where's my popcorn

i'm
not going to lie
this story is weird
like i'm having a real hard time following the whiplash of character actions and emotions. it all seems so wildly out of pocket and random at all times. it's not even that they're immature it's just disconnected, almost written like a random series of events rather than anything with any cohesion. i get what the author is trying to say but it's just not coming across.

this manhwa continues to have the most unhinged sex scenes in the best way
side couple has me feeling some ways tho...
