this is the first time ive seen trans people presented like this in a manga and specifically in yaoi and im LIT rn. good job author-chan
all I want is for Kou to realize why what he did was wrong. I'm not gonna feel bad for him just because he misses Shinobu. I want him to acknowledge that it was messed up for him to play with people like toys, that people have feelings and aren't just there to be manipulated. Like, I get that he's sad and in love but he still doesn't seem to see that the problem is that he was in the wrong for purposely hurt someone who is in love with him for shits and giggles. Until then, I stan Shinobu for standing his ground. He deserves better, I hate cheating, the end.
I can probably accept them together if they separate for like ten years and grow as individuals and Kou suffers a lil bit. Otherwise, I'd prefer it if Shin finds someone better.
Well, they weren't officially dating, so it wasn't cheating. It was just manipulating.
I'll concede... although it doesn't make it any better - if you convince someone that you love them and that you are dating only to get a pass because you never defined the relationship that explicitly, it has the same effect. I also hate emotional manipulation so I'm gonna stand my ground on this one ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ (≧∀≦)
True, it doesn't. Well, again, they weren't dating. Kou somehow made Shinobu believe he was interested in him but then again he never said he actually loved him if I remember right? Either way, I still think it's kind of not the same, just leading on with that kiss in the park and all. But I get what your point is! (●'◡'●)ﾉ
Ahh, I hate that too... makes it hard for me to enjoy a manga (╬￣皿￣)凸
Usually I would be put off by that too, but this particular manga didn't seem to make me feel iffy about the whole thing. I think it's because Kou is going through the emotional struggle that other would go through when he played with their feelings. I expect in the future chapters for his character to grow from this experience (but we prob won't see any real remorse for the ppl he played with expressed as this is still a manga, and this seems to happen very little in these stories)
Um why are you defending a guy who never said he loved Shinobu precisely because it gave him an out? Thx.
I absolutely LOVE this couple. i like how the uke is like a real person with a position and aspirations etc and not just a trope like "emotionally distressed uke" or "clumsy uke" or "tsundere/yandere"
am i supposed to feel sorry for that bitch? cuz i dont (︶︿︶)＝凸
I'm concerned for yall's future partners if you think that was consensual...
That definitely wasn't consensual but eh it's fiction wgaf
appreciate your concern but no thank you
This made me feel dumb... so hard to follow along (〜￣△￣)〜
I wasn't sure if it was my loud father in the background or the fact that I'm sleepy that I wasn't able to follow well. Part of me wishes that had been it, then I could read it tomorrow. But if it's the translation, I'm glad I'm not the only one but it also means it'll never be clear and the next chapters will be confusing as well. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
this is a dope plot, i love it. also i love the doll arch bc the artist was p much like “i wanna draw some genderswap/wonderland fan art and a bunch of emotive chickies but im gonna make it cannon” and did just that
