I really love all these mangas where the characters just have chaotic dumbass energy
I really hate the line "You can't make love/fuck a woman if it's like this; look at your body" in BLs blah blah like uhhh if they were gay to begin with ofc not?? if they were originally straight or if they're bi/pan then yes they can? I just never understood the concept of "a body that can only be fucked by men" in yaoi, it could literally be worded differently to sound more interesting/arousing "You can't get it up except for me; I'm the only one who can make your body feel/react this way" like c'mon mate it ruins the intimate scene every time-
Shounen ai: Whoosh... thump thump (doki doki)... boom... (honestly not really sfx heavy if it's the light-hearted one)
Yaoi: CREAK! SQUELCH! THWACK THWACK! SPLUUUUURT! SQUELCH!
(Ik it's cos of the sex but still haha)
I don't like rape in manga but I just can't take this one seriously?? Like the dialogue is straight out of cliche porn I can't even lol. It's neither portrayed as romantic nor horrible, like you can tell the author has a kink for it but also not taking it seriously, strange.
I just caught up with the last few chapters. I want to see that other omega at work with gis alpha!!
So good! They kinda remind me of that professor and Seorim from X Report but less from a comedy angle
I was just about to comment that Haruki looks so much like Seorim! (≧∀≦)
It's totally okay if you found this unfunny. I just want to point out that Asian humour, especially Japanese humour is vastly different to Western humour. In Western context, people usually rely on wordier comedy such as satirical jokes, puns, being sarcastic etc (even memes are usually funny because of the words), although sometimes physical aspects can be added in too. In Japanese context, they usually rely on physical aspects like expression and movements (e.g. people falling down, getting hit, even accidentally showing their panties/ripping their pants, that's why you see them a lot in anime/manga). The more I study Japanese language and culture, the more I could see which parts are supposed to be funny. Still, I definitely prefer my own country's and Western humour as well just because it fits my context more. I remember my language-culture course lecturer showing us a bunch of funny Japanese videos in class as an example, I understood how they were meant to be funny, it just didn't suit my taste that's all.
P.S. I'm referring to the comedy in variety shows and stand-up duo as they tend to be more old-fashioned, other Japanese medias like anime, books etc are more relatable because they're more modern and in touch with other cultures' influence. Ofc there are exceptions for both sides too.
So.. yeah, Idk what the point of this explanation was. But if you didn't know,
the more you know
So that's why clumsy protagonist was popular back then
Yep, they event have the term occhokochoi (おっちょこちょい) which means scatterbrain, clumsy, airhead etc. I forgot if the connotation is always negative, but I think my lecturer said it can be endearing or neutral depending on who says it (family, friend, lover)
Thanks for that explanation!
The girl's got free BL drama CD --- I would've stayed, it's her loss
I’ll getting popcorn a blanket just chilling (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
But...it’s her brother (⊙…⊙ )
bruh but also that’s brother
We are talking about if they weren't siblings (￣∇￣")
Also this is a joke if it's IRL I wouldn't stay and give them privacy, I don't have a voyeurism nor fetishization kink haha
Agree
"Dances like a mold" ahahaah
I love them both so much I wish I can shrink them and keep them in my pocket
