ok i don't understand the rating on this one. It's actually very cute? Mind you i am not familiar with this author's other works and the topic section is a bit confusing but so far the story is very carefree and cute and despite the debatable age gap i don't see anything too wrong with it? why is the rating so low lol
edit: after reading some of the topic i get that most people in here either: 1. are shoujo readers who thought it was going to be shoujo as well and got spooked by the replacement trope and don't like it bc it looks problematic or 2. are uncomfortable bc of the cutesy artstyle and hentai antecedents cocktail which i understand.
I, too, am uncomfortable with the fact that the author probably wrote this story with fetish-y intentions BUT tbh i like how it features a femme-presenting gay man who is very upfront with his intentions? And the fact that he is ok with coming after his sister isn't too shocking to me bc everyone's boundaries are different
and it's not like the other guy had shady intentions either idk i understand how the mix between that znd the younger bro's sexuality may make it seem like a problematic view on how gay people are "easy" but ... Both characters actually discuss the issue and their thoughts are pretty well fleshed out so it didn't make me as uncomfortable? It seems plausible realistically idk everyone's different. I think i had such a different approach to this manga bc i came from the shounen-ai tag and went into reading it without any prior knowledge of what it was going to be about (despite thinking that the cover did seem a bit hentai-ish lol) and i've seen so many bl stories with much worse development that i was actually pleasantly surprised by this one (esp since it had the shounen ai tag, which indicated to me that the story wasn't about sex, even though i think i was mistaken lol)
The little educational interlude inside purposefully big speech bubbles about the difference between bisexuality and pansexuality (a lil bit outdated but he's got the spirit) was nice lol very thoughtful from the author's part. I hope it's not actually complete and we'll get another chapter or two (or maybe even a volume idk what's planned) centered around the two mcs building a relationship
i hope more works of this author get translated, they've worked on so many stories, BL and other genres (under another pseudonym i don't remember but i'll put it here if i find it) but there's so little material for them in english here. Or maybe it's bc they are all licensed already idk
lmao i like that their sexual life isn't shown but the little drawing details like the hickeys on Ryeojoon's chest and the scratch marks on Hamin's back still imply they're fucking, it's a cool effect to reinforce the fact that their relationship is comfortably established already and they're chill!
I'm somewhat glad there's no emphasis on the sexual aspect of their relationship and it stays as shounen ai.... feels refreshing and shows that not all bl stories need an excessive amount of sex to still be appealing.
Especially in this one where the "before" scenes are emphasized and are so sweet and domestic and comforting haha it's perfect
AGREED!!!!
aaaaand now he's become conscious of him lmao good job jaeyoung i love the comedy in this one
OKAY BUT THE MC LOOKS LIKE SABO FROM ONE PIECE W THE SCAR AND BLONDE MIDDLE PART HAIR OMG
Also not me getting emotional over the author referencing the 27 club :'(
i think it'll be a compilation od short stories around their lives and entourage maybe, or just different one shots
wow this really went south... the mean, pained look on his face is breaking my heart, it looks like their relationship is in a very toxic place rn which is such a contrast to the previous chapter whefe rhey seemed so hopeful and innocent and adorable. Now they're broken :(
all yall calling him a slut/whore and an asshole doesn't sit right with me. What has he done that's so reprehensible? Sleep around? What's wrong with a single young adult man having hook ups..... Pls go outside, touch some grass
Gurl preach I hate when ppl say that like bitch wake tf up wats wrong with sleeping with ppl tf? Ppl only sayin that cause the MC like him or whateva. The dusty hoes in the comment section be so annoying talm bout slut/whore/etc. like nun’s wrong with being sexually confident and having multiple partners. The hoes n the comments givin me very much “I’m waiting till marriage to have sex” but the ones that rag on others who don’t feel the same way energy. Like if you don’t sleep with multiple ppl n never would that’s fine do you but when u start calling other ppl names cause they do that bitch...... bye log tf out for me.
fr the slutshaming on this damn website is outta control...like goddamn, just because youre a virgin doesnt mean you gotta take it out on other people
yeah it's such a deeply ingrained trope in their mind that's always directed at the uke too bc in their head "they're the girl in the relationship" and if it was the top sleeping around they wouldn't be so fussy ... They're basically mirroring their real life internalized misogyny onto gay fiction and that's... Not a good look
exactly lmao also considering the fact that hypersexuality can be a result of trauma which is most likely going to be the case for Saku in this story,, all the more reason to NOT slutshame him
On God like it’s goofy sum of y’all need sum damn help
