I really loved this. Naohito is almost too relatable of a character.
On Ch 4 now and is the "It's great to have lemon candy when you're thinking too much" a spoof of Infinite's Sungjong's famous lemon candy scene? lolol. Because if so, that's hilarious.
Omygaaaaaaash. Inspirit here. I also kept thinking that while reading this!
Hi fellow Inspirit!!!
That was literally all I could think of
What the friend said is biphobic, but I really think there's a distinction between the character saying it and the mangaka/manga saying it. Because you know this is going to be resolved and the main couple are going to stay together thus proving that whole "bi people can't be trusted" shtick wrong, Minato will realize he was being irrationally anxious, etc. The friend is playing devil's advocate in terms of the plot, but it's not like the manga supports his view. Though let's be real, the LGBTQA community is also rife with biphobia, transphobia, acephobia (I've experienced the latter as an asexual) in its own way, unfortunately.
This is such a sweet story, and I love that it centers on an autistic character, since autism (or any kinds of disorders whatsoever) are so rarely touched upon in media, much less manga. The only thing I wish is for the story to have given more space for Tsuburaya's insecurities that were hinted at in the end--the idea that he was just lucky and had "gotten there first," that he isn't special. That seems so sad to me, and it just seems like the kind of thought that would continue to haunt him underneath all of his happiness. So I hope that there can be a sequel or an extra chapter where Tatsumi can reassure him about their relationship...
I think the reason it wasnt highlighted was because he got over it himself. He said later "I'll just have to make sure to keep him interested" so its like he brushed it aside himself.
I noticed that, but I think the idea that he has to keep him interested seems to show that he’s not over it. It sounded borne of insecurity to me? But that might just be me.
This is a cute story and all, but the love interests look way too similar to each other and it's really bothering me. The brothers looking alike makes sense, but their beaus also look like clones lol.
The art is so gorgeous and the story is wonderful. I confess I share many of Minato's anxieties about love and relationships, so the way Shizuma comforted Minato nearly brought me to tears. They're so precious, and I hope we get to see more of them.
It's so hard to root for any one pairing since they've all got different dynamics and they're all great!! But I have a huge soft spot for Ha Junseo (beauty mark boy).
how this story can be so tender and painful, cute but also melancholic, is nothing short of amazing. florence welch and greta gerwig said in an interview once that their ex-boyfriends had said, "it's like you're building a house full of rooms that i can't go into, where i'm not invited," and i feel like this arc is so similar in tone--the feeling of alienation from the people you love as you grow and develop.
This is such a sweet story! I really enjoyed it.
