AHHHHHHH MAKE HIM TAKE THAT PIECE BACK, HE’S GONNA EAT YOUUUUUU
I think the text says Tear not eat
This mf- Seojin wants exactly that from Yoonhee, he wants that unambiguous big declarative statement of love but he won’t give an inch, he won’t show his own cards until he gets a satisfying answer from Yoonhee. He knows Yoonhee is extremely weird and him basically asking all these questions does mean he likes him but Seojin is too scared of what that means and what he would have to do and confronting his own feelings that he would act dumb unless it’s an explicit declaration of love. He’s a cowardddd.
both of em got issues. summer loves spicy and flawed characters with borderline twisted morals lol
You can’t force someone to be in relationship with you, you can’t force someone to talk to you, and you can’t force someone to give you closure. You have to move on. Because it could get abusive.
people disliking but it’s true
Why r people disliking this, this is so real. Like don’t waste your time on people that don’t care about you
Geezus why the fuck are you guys so hung up on the BL part of the story, it never even truly revolved around the traditional BL relationship. “Hikaru” isn’t a human being, he doesn’t have an understanding about the concepts of human love, romantic love, or sexual attraction, a relationship between “Hikaru” and Yoshiki wouldn’t exactly be BL. And BL is very much incredibly popular, the author doesn’t have to take out BL from the story to make more money or some shit, it’s very clear Yoshiki loved Hikaru in a romantic way from the first chapter so the author gains nothing from suddenly trying to “to turn it in to a straight manga.” Hikaru is definitely at least bi. What is happening now is just what the story and relationship between what “Hikaru” and Yoshiki calls for, and it’s also about how Yoshiki is grieving Hikaru and his love for him. His love and longing is so deep and all consuming that he would rather be with spectre of Hikaru than live without him completely, that’s pretty fucking gay to me, and let’s not forget that Hikaru would rather be body snatched than leave Yoshiki alone.
Idk why you guys are so pressed, it ain’t BL if they don’t do the nasty or something????????? Chill out, the story is very well written and the mystery is taking center stage right now. I for one am glad Yoshiki isn’t suddenly in love with “Hikaru” just because he looks like Hikaru, and we don’t have to go through the angst many other bls put us through where the story is that Yoshiki first sexually and romantically uses “Hikaru” to replace Hikaru and then suddenly realizes he truly loves “Hikaru” and blah blah blah, I hate that shit, that would just make Hikaru’s presence trivial and forgotten and I would hate that because it would mean Hikaru was used as a plot device to create angst and sexual tension between “ Hikaru” and Yoshiki. In this story Hikaru isn’t forgotten and he is still as important even if he is no longer alive.
I think ppl aren't pressed because the main characters are not gonna do the nasty lol. It's just the general erasure of the bl tag, which might have something to do about the manga industry's tendency to look down on bl works (and even shoujo romance) even if they're well-written. It's rather a criticism towards the industry rather than the story the way I see it.
That's what I think too since they aren't "doing it" = no longer bl people rather see chapter after chapter of characters going at it instead of a well story/plot I dint know why when they have a lot of those why can they let it go
Most of the comments are talking about queer baiting and they are upset that there isn’t going to be any romance between “Hikaru” and Yoshiki, they feel cheated, I do agree that the industry does look down on shoujo and BL and that’s just horrible because there really are some very well written ones out there, including this one, I’d categorized this as shounen-ai or just BL though even if they remove the tag because it certainly is based on such relationships.
I'm sorry I read wrong I thought u said are pressed lol
Oh, wait to clarify when you say romance are you referring to sex? To be honest, when the comments mentioned romance between the two mcs, I interpreted it as the mcs having feelings for each other and how their relationship grows, not the idea of them having sex. Because isn't this manga categorised as shounen ai instead of yaoi so I think most readers get the idea that no explicit scenes will happen here.
dw about it. i do agree tho that some readers are too hung up on wanting to read smutty scenes instead of appreciating other elements of yaoi stories.
Nope I don’t mean sex either, I was just exasperated on how people thought it was queer baiting even though Yoshiki clearly romantically loved Hikaru and I was like if this isn’t BL then what isssss????
Oh I see, I see. Sorry about that, my brain sometimes finds it hard to understand what I'm reading.
I get your point. I can only make assumptions based on what I've observed. So my take on this is maybe the author probably intended this to be really bl but since it is gradually gaining more traction outside the bl space, maybe they were advised to drop the bl tag to pander to the general growing audience.
If this is the case, I'd be really sad. It's already bad enough that so many great bl mangas don't get the attention they deserve for simply having queer themes.
No worries, my post was pretty long and maybe convoluted so I totally understand. It would be sad if that were the case but if Yoshiki actually pursued “Hikaru” romantically I would have probably dropped it because that would have been too much angst for me. That would trivialize what Yoshiki felt for Hikaru and it would treat “Hikaru” as replacement for Hikaru for Yoshino to get over his grief until he comes to love “Hikaru” as “Hikaru” is and I’ve seen that story so many times, I’m tired of it. Yoshiki would become a mega douche in that case.
What was the point of this??????? WHY THE FUCK WAS CH 5 SO GRAPHIC????????????????? IT DIDNT NEED TO BE????? WHAT WAS THE POINT??????????? YES DEHUMANIZE CHILD RAPISTS AND MURDERERS! YES DEHUMANIZE PEDOS! I DONT CARE I DONT WANT TO SYMPATHIZE WITH A CHILD MURDERER AND RAPIST! What about that kid??? Where was the grace shown for the kid? Where was the pain, the fear, of his, where was the grief of his family??? What happened to him as a kid was horrific but what he did was also horrific and no it doesn’t mean that all he needs is unconditional understanding and love and he will become better, ALSO ONLY 15 YEARS FOR WHAT WAS DONE TO THAT POOR CHILD???? IT SHOULD BE LIFE NO IT SHOULD BE EXECUTION, TO THE PARENTS AND THIS FAKE PRIEST, SORRY AUTHOR YOUR WRITING EXERCISE TO MAKE ME FEEL SYMPATHY FOR THE MOST SKDIFIDJSJW PERSON DIDNT WORK
honestly I feel like it wasnt graphic enough, it needs to be more emphasised how terrible everything that happened was
This is also somehow true?????? It wasn’t insidious enough at all, where was the dread and the vomit inducing fear
Actually no, I stand by that it didn’t need to be, just the implication is horrifying enough, I almost barred when I read it, I had to pause and take a minute, it was horrifying in and of itself
*barfed
Why was it so graphic? Because the author wanted it to be. Sometimes graphic scenes are used for shock value or to drive home the severity and extent of an incident rather than when it is only implied and it is left for interpretation.
Honestly, I think the way it is is fine. It's disgusting and creepy and horrifying and really hits those points home.
Tho I do think there should have been more emphasis on the crime he committed. Or that the crime had been a bit less severe. It feels like they kinda brush over it despite how horrible it was for the kid and the kid's family.
Ok once again, I’m on ch 33 where it’s revealed he let that dog die and doesn’t have any empathy or remorse about that, I just don’t understand how it gets to a point where In seob actually falls in love with him??? I just don’t see that happening at this point in the story?? And this is the first time I’ve read a yaoi and it’s ch 33 and no sex, it’s truly building the stories and characters, it’s pretty cool, a shame one of the mcs is aspd with almost no ability to feel empathy, just how and why is the mc cursed to be with him??? Also not like fake aspd that most manhwas have where the ml just needs that one guy/girl and then boom they now have a full range of emotions they never felt before, they now understand things they never thought they could, nope, this dude has a pretty bad case of aspd and the author has taken care and time to write and portray that, that’s cool, that representation is pretty cool indeed, but like dude’s srsly freaking dangerous and I worry for our mc
What the fuck, he’s diagnosed with aspd with clear signs of lacking empathy, AND HE LET THAT DOG DIE WHAT THE FUUUUUUCK
There is not any biological incest right????? Please tell me there isn’t any????
according to many, in the novel there is (the dad is the ml). But many say that the artist has no intention of letting that happen and is making it so that there is no ml.
Whaaaaaat???? She isn’t an adoptive daughter??? She is 100% related to everyone in that house including the dad????
yeah…
I think I see it wrong did you say dad is the ml?
nah you saw right….
let me just take away some morals from this conversation, i think i prefer the dad over the main lead
In the nivel the dad is the male lead! But the direction the manwha is takeing is to have no male lead!
i really want that, no male lead. that white haired prick is getting on my nerves.
How the fuck is he the male lead … like whaaaaat ?
She isn’t his real daughter ?
She ends up with him for real ?
I'm only at chapter 20, and i can see that the 2 half brothers are feeeeling way more than sibling love... With all those implied blushing and monologues..
yeah it’s disgusting
Yes! But in the novel lol. I have no idea why the author of the book did that
Huh the dad huh the what
In the original web novel, her father is her one of her love interest and the male lead. Basically her father and her get together
For fuck’s sake …
Are they truly related like biologically ?
But even if they aren’t its so wrong on so many aspects.
Do y’all want Yoshiki to use ‘Hikaru’ as a replacement for Hikaru and then over time he realizes he loves the entity for what it is?????? Because that’s the only way that would go?? It’s such a tried storyline that has so much unnecessary angst. Sorry guys, Hikaru our ml has been dead since ch1 and Yoshiki began keeping ‘Hikaru’ around because of his grief and love over Hikaru, he’d rather have the spectre of Hikaru than not have him around, isn’t that tragically beautiful and poetic? The story has never changed even after the confirmation that there won’t be any romance between ‘Hikaru’ and Yoshiki, Yoshiki will forever be haunted by his love and longing for Hikaru, that’s the eerie poetic thing you guys think you’re missing because the “BL tag was removed” except it’s not missing and it’s still there, it’s still hauntingly beautiful and tragic
me personally I see 'hikaru' as a puppy attached to yoshiki and I thought it was cute
but I was definitely wondering if it was gonna go down the romance route
thank u
Yeah I think people are not understanding that nothing is being retconned. It’s just not a romance manga. A better tag would be LGBT and then romance if there was any as two separate tags. I think people don’t understand that bl isn’t only used as a romance + gay men tag in Japanese manga spheres. LGBT manga doesn’t really know where to be categorized because it doesn’t fit neatly into any bl or gl label because it’s not always romance. Like “my lesbian experience with loneliness”, so we call it gl because it’s a queer story? It’s not romance and def not focused on love but instead the authors mental health and sexuality struggles. GL/BL labels we never designed for queer people or stories. They were designed to be consumed as a genre by straight Japanese people so none of this was taken into consideration. Doesn’t help that some sites haven’t adapted to have an lgbt tag and they they use the fake term “shounen ai” which is NOT what BL is called in Japan but instead westerners doing a very literal translation of “BL”
