faithful believer that is completely ok to have your own limits when it comes to fiction.
But people who are accusing others of being ‘weird’ for wanting these two to end up together or that they are werid for thinking this have romantic/bl undertones have not see wayama’s pixiv.
oh for the love of god you people are INSUFFERABLE
“omg why yaoi always have bad anatomy” yall read anything aside from yaoi? “ah the overused bl trope, miscommunication/feeling insecure because you saw your partner talking with someone” actually, have yall read any other type of romance manga? lmao
also, why yall always make problems out of NOTHING? who cares if people are complaining because the sex got cut out, actually, why is so bad to complain about it? someone making a silly commet about smut don’t mean they dont appreciate the cute story because it doesnt have smut, they are not saying the story is bad for the lack of smut. It cannot be that three comments saying how sad it is not being able to see the old seme fucks really bothers some of yall lmao.
And finally yes, when a manga is cropped in this format, they don’t only cut some parts of the sex scenes, they cut several parts of a page to make it fit in the scrolling format
I am not saying that you need to like everything and that you cannot express your dislike for something, I just feel that most of the time the way in which BL readers express their dislike for an author or manga is very pedantic, some comments are super normal ‘wow i didn’t expect this from them’ and then you have the ‘finally this dumb degenarate wrote something good’
And this is not exclusive to when they don't like a bl, because when they like one, it is always something among the lines of ‘finally something good in this garbage genre." If someone gave me money for each ‘breath of fresh air’ that I find in yaoi comments I would be a millionaire lmao
Also, people really forget that authors/creatives are multifaceted, and instead of being happy or amazed by the versatile of an author they feel betrayed /syundei or that the author ‘improved and grew as a person’ /paspaskim. and is like, authors sometimes will want to approach certain topics from different perspectives
Ok I think the Japanese reviewer hit the nail with ‘cool’. From what I get from the raws Rio has a cool personality, he is also very caring, attentive and cute (he doesn't want to admit he likes romance movies lol)
Lately I've been thinking that people use ‘tough Bottom’ based on how the uke acts compared to the seme or other uke instead of the personality of the uke as an individual character in their respective story (a lot of bl its from the uke perspective so his interiority is more explored than the seme, plus the ‘twink’ body makes people instantly asociate it with feminity, so when the uke body is a little toned even if he acts the same as the twink uke, he is already labeled manly/tough) also, people think that muscle = manly, and well ‘manly’ is subjective but several use it as an interchangeable term with ‘muscular’ but they are not synonyms.
This author draws muscle bodies, but not defined is more a muscle body form and acording to the canon in universe of the author, Tooru is muscular, so I would say that Rio is not really muscular but it is definitely more toned than Ikeda. Rio has a body similar to Mizuki or Kirino, and Ikeda has a body similar to Takase
I made this comment because the manga already has the tough bottom manly bottom and muscle bottom tag, nothing wrong with that! this is just a personal observation, sorry.
I love finding a new bl that I like (with a plot that is not rare in the genre) just to see that there is already a comment saying ‘this is so good and refreshing compared to others bl’ lmao
now the only thing missing is the comment asking why this manga has a 'low' rating and how people prefer to read shit instead of ‘objectively good bl’
edit: and there is already people complaining about the rating
