I originally thought this w the sci fi genre because of the cover and avoided it, but now im disappointed in myself for not reading it earlier! Its one of the more realistic ones ive read so far about liking someone of the same sex but im glad it ended happily! 10/10!!
Same here. I dodged this one for a long time and today I finally gave it a shot and it turned out to be so AMAZING! Totally smitten.
I love how this was released in 2012 but they predicted the legalization of gay marriage in the us in 2015 (๑ ˊ ᐞ ˋ )ƅ
Lmao, true, but actually, very few states had already legalized same-sex marriages. When the 2015 law came in, it was in all states.
Ohhh that makes sense, since I heard it was already legal in Cali but I didn't really search up on other states ^^;;
If at some point in the manga thhe mangaka has riichi affirm that he wont be sleeping with anyone other than uzuki, that would be nice... (=・ω・=)
He didn't sleep with anyone while pursuing him; so I don't think that will be a problem
Ohhh
Because it seemed like he slept with other people so he wouldnt have to scare uzuki off, but if that's the case, thats cool (๑ ˊ ᐞ ˋ )ƅ
Well he's definitely experienced lmao. But i'm pretty sure (if i remember correctly) that he didn't get with anyone after he started liking him.
Yes he did. He slept with the nurse woman to throw the other yakuza guys off the doc's trail. Then he had that fling with three women at once. But when Uzuki finally returns his feelings and they actually get together, he doesn't sleep with anyone else anymore.
Thanks a bunch to the both of you guys, I got it now!
JESUS I LOVE YOU
Did anyone else notice the title is "innocent bird" because jesus is a bird?
Also knew the guy was judas the moment they called him the "greatest sinner" haha i love this manga 10/10
I S2G IF LEVI DIES BEFORE HE KILLS THAT APE BASTARD
I MEAN HE WAS SO DAMN CLOSE LOOORRRDDD ISAYAMA PLEASE BRO WTF
"i still think in the last panel his thoughts were " when he leaves the family " they can be more than brothers "again". its obvious they both love each other, the timing now was just wrong." -Yade
I had to post this comment from another topic since it made me feel better about the manga and i think it would help everyone else too (thank you so much to the person who posted this!!) ;u;
That really did made me feel better ;A;
I think the dad killed himself both out of guilt of having had sex with his son and he didnt want the younger bro to leave the other behind because he had left them there and was irresponsible, so he thought he wasnt suitable to be a dad (or a moral human being since he just did his son)
But it really hurts to see everyone slutchaming the older bro. Like he was raped and sold by his foster father thats absolutely terrible (and like others said, he likely sold himself after because thats how he can help his little bro survive) i think everyone is more adapted to the light hearted mangas and this is deeper into the mature and psychological genres
There's also the fact that the younger brother mentioned that he wanted to kill the dad (even if he didn't mean it). The dad was no context given to the statement (younger brother felt it was heartbreaking that older brother's life revolved around waiting for someone that younger brother believed to be dead) and that probably pushed the dad over the edge since he had already guessed he had sex with his son and was overcome with more guilt on top of abandoning his family.
Damn when the stepmother's house caught on fire i was hoping she burned to death (╬￣皿￣)凸 but im very happy for the two! And it's really nice how they continue to keep in touch with the sensei and his wife.
Tell me when the story of the senpai and his bf comes out TTuTT
Ahhh i really loved this story...(read this after reading the story since there are SPOILERS)
The first one dealt with the idea of liking realizing that you like the same sex and being in love with someone of the same sex realistically—the other party might not be able to reciprocate but you could still be great friends.
The second one was pretty sad for me since they went out but still had boyfriends. I'm pretty sure it's more platonic than romantic since they have their own boyfriends, but it shows how you might consider being more than friends but it doesnt always end with you two going out
The third one was really beautiful and i quite liked how they dealt with transgender and aika's transition to becoming a woman and how her girlfriend was very supportive (also, yes, a trans woman can also be in a lesbian relationship).
The last one implied the light haired girl liked the brunette, but she had a boyfriend so she didnt want to hurt her feelings. Also realistic.
Out of the four, the third story probably had the best ending, but the other two were a really nice and refreshing about how good relationships dont always have to be romantic. Ive personally learned many things throughout the past recent years, and the value of plantonic relationships has got to be one of them, and I can see what i've learned reflected in this manga. 10/10 for me
