How did my clown ass only now realize, on re-reading, that tomoe and minoru look exactly the same;;;;IS TOMOE A MAN?? DID I JUST NOT PICK UP THAT CONTEXT CLUE YET??I THOUGHT TWAS A WOMAN?? OR IS IT STILL A WOMAN??
Not that the gender identity makes a difference in the larger scheme of things, but if tomoe was a man it'd be strange for Maru to not even bring up once how tomoe and minoru look like the exact same person, not just their "soul".
Another thought-
Tropes where one reincarnates but the other past lover doesn't are really difficult for me, personally, to come to terms with, in the situation that the new reincarnation has a completely different personality and consciousness from their past self. It kinda feels like cheating?idk.
im unsure what im hoping Maru and Tomoe's relationship to be tbh, let's see
if nothing, we always have the 10/10 doctor's recommended diet of sex-three-times-a-day to look forward to ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄

BITCH SHUT THE FRONT DOOR
DID YALL REALIZE
Kim Dokja didn't call him "Yoo Joonghyuk", "Yoo Joonghyuk-ssi" or "Joonghyuk-ssi"!!
THE MAN STRAIGHT UP LAUNCHED INTO "Joonghyuk-ah~" and i hope yall know that not only is dropping the surname and formal honorifics a big ass deal in eastern cultures, there's the fact that he substituted it with "ah" which implies a significant degree of closeness just found this interesting.
Careful Dokja the simp in you is showing
And, SPOILER WARNING!! SHIPPING WARNING!!

IIRC, apart from shin yoosung and lee gilyoung, the only person he ever used this for is Yoo Jonnghyuk
(Unfortunately it doesnt exactly continue lest YJH destroy KDJ in a tsundere fit of embarrassment)
Of course, compared to the million other gay things they do this is relatively tame haha

Also I feel that compared to all the chapters so far, this chapter did the best job yet in portraying the kdj x yjh dynamic.
(Personal opinion coming pls dont flame lmao)
Somehow, so far, the way kdj's expressions were drawn talking about YJH felt a little emotionally distanced/indifferent to me (which, all novel readers know isn't the case)
But this chapter did a great job; it managed to capture a considerable percent of the essence of their interactions in the novel, the way Dokja unflinchingly called them Life and Death companions ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ or the way he audaciously interrupted yjh, knowing full well that he's the only one who can get away with pushing the other guy's buttons(≧∀≦)or even the way he was so adorably haughty and proud in claiming YJH as his best companion
He was legit oozing 'I Know Him Best What About It' vibes
And YJH's face lmaoooo I love his shook himbo moments hehe Hubby is impressed
I really loved the way this chapter was done
