So I was seeing a lot of hate on the fl and obviously it’s early days so there hasn’t been much time to form an opinion but for ppl like me that were curious abt the story, but hesitated bc of the comments, she’s really not that bad .
If anything she gives me Tohru (Fruits Basket) vibes? Yes she does cry and she isn’t the most confident person but I wouldn’t negatively call her a damsel in distress, I feel like she’s just ordinary in both power and upbringing so in contrast to FLs that come from power (even if they weren’t loved wtv wtv) it just makes sense that she’d be and feel helpless in her situation. Like I doubt anyone here could be starved, betrayed and yada yada with no friends, connections or family to speak of and not feel a wee bit depressed, especially if it’s in such a short period.
Like what is one person meant to do against a whole royal family member? Shit I’d be asking the Emperor to fight my battles too
Plus she’s even trying to move on from her past standing up to the other girl, so idk…I’m all for strong Fls don’t get me wrong, I actually get the ick of the supremely weak and frail ones that have the power to change yet refuse to - they’re jarring asf but I feel like we shouldn’t demonise being soft hearted since everybody starts somewhere yk? Not everybody is born or brought up to have a high self esteem, to others it’s more of a process and growing experience. Obviously idk what her character’s gonna be like in the future but it’s insane to just write her off so quickly; especially when there are so many worse stories, characters and plots on this sight. Idk
But anyway, this was super long but I think she’s cute! And I’m proud of her for standing her ground ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Also, I just wanted to point out that most of the strong FLs that ppl are talking about/ referencing only really hide behind a false demeanour and bravado, saying they’re standing on biddness when really they’re just another tsundere trying to protect their pride instead of readily assessing the situation they’re in or just being honest with themselves .
Obviously it doesn’t apply to all of them, buttttt I’m sure that’s rings a bell for quite a few manhwas you’ve read (≧∀≦)
I love her because she isnt afraid to cry or ask for help and she isnt stupid enough to hold on to someone who hurt her
Period!
It’s sm better than her being like I got this I can do it all on my own only to flop and burn. Then instead of weak even would be flaming her saying she’s dumb
She knows her limits and acts accordingly, I can fw that (▰˘◡˘▰)
The way this was meant to be heart warming but my brain sees a man crying and just automatically rushes all my blood down south ☹
No composure no nothing like
WHERE R THE SIDE CHAPS ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
pls say there are side chaps （/TДT)/
Honestly I genuinely wish that more people can hv this ideology, especially as when you look through fashion history it’s so clear to see that its nature is inherently gender fluid. Like wearing makeup, skirts and high heels used to be the epitomes of western masculinity and even further back in other parts of the worldThe sad reality is that because of social constructs that try and assign gender to certain styles, aesthetics and attributes, not only are people’s creativity and way of expression limited; but it stunts their exploration of preferences and overall confidence :(
That’s something you especially see in ‘gender bender’, ‘cross dressing’ mangas or even just ‘normal ones’ where ppl get the ick if someone just steps out even a tiny bit out from the conventional, which tbh annoys me bc at least imo, there’s no such thing as cross dressing anyway- dress however tf you want!! Anyone who makes you feel worth less bc of it, is just mad you’re not as insecure and as self limiting as them. Tell em to suck their mums, like deadass they can go fuck themselves. They just can’t stand you being able to freely express and love yourself, and in turn; reject you in order to not realise how pathetic they are, period.
Maybe I’m just extra passionate abt this bc I’m a Fashion student but idk I just love it when things like this are discussed without being biased/ enabling toxic masculinity or other gender stereotypes, so hopefully this manga doesn’t go to shit lol

Nah I totally get it, like do you know of this one bald guy that goes to work in pencil skirts and stilettos? He slays sooo hard. And like I'm AFAB but I looooove to switch between feminine and masculine clothing's depending on my mood or wtv and I also love fashion history like the fact that heels were created so that when yourself a horse you an hook the heels on the saddle(?) to be sure to not fall off. That's awsy
Even if men dressed in wigs, makeup, tights, heels etc in the past they still looked very cool and masculine in it though. This is a very weird manga lol. I don't know why people make things complicated, if men don't want to dress in skirts/dresses that's fine.
If men dont want to wear dresses and skirts thats fine, but if they do that should be fine too. Its not complicated unless you make it complicated
EURGHHHHHHH OUR GIRLIE ATE W THT IDEC LIKE ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
TELL EM SONO TELL EM
