the pornstar aspect

It doesn't feel fair to be upset at the fact that Seo is an active porn actor. It's fine to be unhappy at the idea of you, personally, dating someone who works in the adult industry, and it's fine to compare your reaction to Natori's. But a recurring theme in this manga is Seo being an actor and how they maintain their relationship around this fact. They've mentioned multiple times that it isn't easy, and that having a stable relationship with someone outside of the industry is rare. But that's the point. It's NOT easy. It's NOT all sunshine and rainbows. They're working around this fact. (con't)

Besides, it feels a little close-minded to reserve this disdain for porn actors, imho. Regular actors do kissing and sex scenes all the time, and many of them are in relationships and/or married. The entertainment industry is complex and it can be hard to maintain a stable personal life outside of it. Again, that's the point of this manga.

If you don't like it, there are countless other BLs where a porn actor leaves the industry after finding a lover. Read Walk on Water, Life Ain't so Bad, Melt at Night, or anything else. But I don't see the point in complaining about it here when it's a main theme of the story.

    I agree with this. Personally, I find it interesting that the story touches upon a romantic relationship of an AV actor who did not quit his work after having a partner because irl couples like this rarely have fictional representation.

    It's a good way to explore what it takes for a relationship like this to work (even though the author sometimes adds questionable conflicts to move the plot along )

    could not have said it better myself ;;; honestly i'm a little baffled how much negative commentary is about it considering we're at chapter 33 by now...

    i get that some people can't reconcile the idea of dating a sex worker, but being mad at SEO about it after dozens of chapters of Natori making an effort to understand and respect his job, feels really pointless and a little cruel ^_^;;;

    ithanks for phrasing it so eloquently !!

    THISS!! Like if you don’t like the idea of one partner work as sex worker, then stop reading it. Stop projectile your idea of how love relationship should work on other people. It so annoying reading all these comment that if you don’t like it. Just move on. Read other book.
