This story is so precious and heart-warming. I really wish it wouldn't end.
Casual discussions of consent? Serious reflections on one's feelings and desires? Could this manhwa get any more perfect?? I love it so much.
Those last few pages were so elegantly composed, seemed filled with some quiet emotion. I adore this comic artist's ability to move from one tone to the next.
yes!!
okay, so when are they going to switch, if you catch my drift (づ￣ ³￣)づ
I fucking read this on my lunch break at work because I forgot what they were getting up to at the end of the last chapter..
no one saw you right?
we're all concerned for your safety
very luckily i had it open on my cell phone, not my computer screen. (￣∇￣")
This story is turning out surprisingly beautiful and moving.
I really love this.. though it's weird to think that Taichi's only 22, he comes off as older to me.
Okay..I just saw the raws.. It seems that Taichi is 27 while Fuji is 22..so Taichi is really the older one..
Oh, thanks for pointing that out! I might have switched their ages up in my mind.
Funny thing is I work in publishing (I'm an assistant editor) so whenever I read these kinds of manga I'm like lol publishing's really nothing like this at all. We mostly communicate by email these days so you pretty much never meet authors face to face.
Maybe publishing is different in Japan? ╮(￣▽￣)╭
That's possible! But I still think you'll be hard-pressed to find some young, 50-shades-style author who's going to sex up their editor, haha.
Yeah, I bet that's definitely rare, but maybe they visit their authors and mangagkas at their homes more. Especially if they are good at their work, but always late on their deadlines?
These two are so sweet.. and look at that, clear and open communication means avoiding unnecessary drama. Other BL couples could use a lesson on that. :')
TRUE
Holy shit, yes.
There's always that yaoi couple that refuses to just open their mouths and communicate.
That just leads to all kinds of drama and unneeded fighting.
Thank you for saying it T^T
This series is just brilliant. I'm shocked to know that the comic artist is a native Korean and not someone living in a "melting pot" society like the US. Although the setting is a fictional nation in modern times, IMO it resembles New York in the 1980s, at the height of racial tension in the US (and unfortunately making a resurgence now...). The writer handles complex issues like diasporic cultural identities, racism, homophobia (external and internalized), class difference, and systemic oppression/the failings of the justice system with such nuance. Not only the way these tensions affect us as individuals functioning in society, but even within the private relationships we have with each other, as friends or lovers. There's a lot about Conor that I can relate to having grown up in the US as a Chinese-American kid. And so much of this hits so close to home.
It honestly resembles the us in 2017
Yeah, and that's the really scary part. Maybe a couple years ago I would have said "but the bullying kids face in school and racism POC have to face aren't like this, they're mostly implicit..." but I can't say that anymore. :/
