The benchmark romance. Maybe THE best of them all. Devasting in it's romance even in the most mundane setting, between normal people.but the genuine passion doesn't take a hit at all, in fact it's heightened because it doesn't resort to cliches and stereotypes. IT'S GENUINELY SHOCKING HOW WELL WRITTEN IT IS FOR A YAOI MANGA.
another yaoi manga that manages to escape the trappings of the genre to say something deeper! the personalities are really the star here, no comparison, and it's so much better for it.
don't let the cute gender role reversal and cutesy shoujo vibes fool you... the core is raw and bleeding..tries to tackle an issue that is so prevalent and ingrained in popular consciousness..toxic codepedency isn't healthy or the ideal soulmate romance...
Such a beautiful and warm story....they really do feel like two ppl insanely in love with each other rather than representative of the uke/seme dynamic.... both break gender role stereotypes by being simultaneously fragile and strong....i think this is the healthiest love story I have ever read in the bl genre while also being so horny?? it's remarkable, there is no object and the one chasing the object story here, no games, no rollercoaster push-pull, just two ppl who want each other....
we love a honest and hard-working couple, dedicated to their dreams and each other. I love how money and finance plays an important role in their relationship, because other romantic fantasies will usually completely ignore this aspect as it ruins the fun lol. i guess that's why you have endless supply of chaebols and billionaires, one easy hack to completely avoid actual, difficult conversations that do need to happen between couples.
healthy, healthy, HEALTHY! I completely understand why he has a crush on him, i would too.
When you think about it, real life romance is just romance on hard mode, because you don't have special magic tricks to help you read their minds or have soul markers that tie them to you through eternity and time. A lot of romance is escapist and a yearning for certainty, like it'll be permanent once you agree to it. But that's not how life works, you have to constantly guess, and it's so awkward and tense in the beginning, but real life is so much more interesting
we love a couple that hype each other up, while trying to be better themselves.
reminded me why I used to read shoujo. non-toxic crushes and feelings all over the other place. good-hearted teenagers struggle to communicate.
