I think Toono its strange he agreed to Yaguchi's claim

A Quiet Person February 10, 2026 4:33 am

I think we all need to understand that Yaguchi did not see the kiss between Kashima and Toono. The supposed "kiss" he saw was them behind a building getting close together, and he assumed it was a "kiss", but in actuality, it was Kashima taking off some dust from Toono's hair. The one time Yaguchi could have seen them kissing was when Kashima and Toono were on the roof, which was empty. So it is a bit strange that Toono would just accept the fact Yaguchi would know everything that Kashima would have done to Toono. Though I do wonder how Yaguchi would react to know that Kashima french kissed Toono infront of their club members. I wonder how Yaccan would top that ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄

    yacchan were thinking of the "kiss", while toono thought yacchan saw the kiss kiss which might be the reason he agreed to yacchan's claim

    True. Toono doesn't stand up for himself most of the time, but only if it's going to result in him being sexually harassed or worse. Though I do enjoy that Yacchan will always be concerned about him in any way

    Yeah, it was so cool and a great way to show how much Yacchan is going to be his real self towards Toono. A good shift change between how Kashima handled the situation with a calm deposition and friendly, while Yacchan did not care what people will think of him when protecting Toono!!! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~

    I highkey wished Toono invited Yacchan instead to visit his fam though since it'll be a good development in their relationship cuz I think so far it was only Yacchan who opened up about their personal stuff (correct me if I were wrong thoo). But ig Kashima made more sense too since he't the one Toono opened up abt it.

    Seeing how Yacchan is asting and how people in the comments are predicting he's gonna guilt trip or remind Toono that they're friends and should be treated as equal to Kashima. Yeah, you're right Toono hasn't really shared anything personal of himself to Yacchan apart from having his first fight with a friend is with him.

    Yeah, I wonder how it goes... I'm gonna predict that after Yacchan guilt-trips or demands to go, it's all hyped to purposely state his presence and friendship to Toono's parents. Yacchan is probably just slightly bragging about how close he is, but Toono is not really sure how to share his experience of Mori Mori Academy, so he would probably just roll with it. Though while Yacchan is just trying to share how well Toono is experiencing school, Kashima might have noticed how a bit uncomfortable Toono is getting with the house environment, as it has changed. That Kashima has to take Toono aside to remind him its okay. Then to clarify to Yacchan (or Toono showing his true expression when he leaves the room that his parents are in) Kashima shares the predictament that Toono is in with his Step Mother. Then it'll probably tie in how Kashima understands the feeling and show a more in-depth background of Kashima and Yacchan's family dynamic.

    Yeah, I'm okay with whoever Toono goes with, as it's the author's decision. Though I do wonder how Tamura would be manage to be Yacchan. I'm a bit leaning towards Kashimax Toono, though, with a bit of sway with a friend who is YaguxToono, he made a good point. That Kashima is a bit 2 two-dimensional, as he is mainly showing he's a great companion in every way, though with Yaguchi, he had character growth.

    That sounds like a very solid chapter! Do you write stories?? Loll but I do like that flow for the next chapter if it's indeed going to end up with the three of them in Toono's home. It really shows the differences of Toono's dynamic betweem the two of them. Yacchan proving his "worth" on Toono by telling their closeness and what they do together to Toono's parents (ykk that whole inferiority complex he got going on). I would also like to think of Yacchan being talkative with Toono's parents and being interested about how Toono was as a kid then it'll be something he'll tease Toono about which could release some tension he had inside. With Kashima, you entirely captured what he would do in that situation. He's the type to be in touch on how Toono's feeling especially he's the first person he opened up to. For that, I'd say KashiToono had more progress in terms of emotinal closeness than YaguToono (since Yacchan explaining why he did that were being stalled by Tanaka for now + Kashima aren't being a pussy w how he feels towards Toono). Though there's slow burn build up w YaguToono's rs.


    To be honest, I'm borderline crazy with Toono ending up with Yacchan since they've grown a lot on me lol (especially Yacchan) that I might not shut up abt them if I were given a chance to speak abt it. Due to this, I don't enjoy pondering that if KashiToono ends up together, YaMura (srry idk their ship name) would surely happen. It'll be a long marination tho since the vulnerability Yacchan gave to Toono surely is a "Yacchan Premium". Tamura might end up being a rebound or smtg first before they could end up together. Before we get that whole conclusion from Toono, Kashima, and Yacchan, we might get a flashback + resolution of Itome and Akemi rs first.

    I had same thoughts like your friend. If I'll compare Kashima to the first chapters and to the current ones, he feels stagnant. In comparison to Yacchan, well, we all know how much he has changed. He's still really undercooked despite having 30 chapters by now (I hope we can see nuance to his characterization sooner). I think I'd need to see him breaking that part of him who's so nice that he'll give everything away (just like how it is w his siblings) and be completely selfish for Toono bcs he wanted him that badly or smtg.

    Not yet, I'm thinking of writing some, but to start off, I don't mind writing fanfics or just storyboards of how scenes of two characters would go. I have one on Yacchan and Tamura, it came to me in a dream. Basically, Tamura wants to cuddle with Yaguchi in bed, but knowing Yaguchi is insanely strong, he'll have better chances for that to be just a fantasy. Until he reached out to Akemi, who taught him about rope art and showed him the basics. In the end, it did not turn out well, as Yaguchi woke up to feel the ropes around him and someone behind him, but could not scream as he was gagged. Though when struggling to move, he felt that the ropes around his wrists were not tight, so he bought his time for Tamura to get close and punch the living daylights out of Tamura. Fun little morning for me to just think about that.
    I don't think the stepmother would have much to say on Toono's childhood, as she met him around Toono's 2nd year of middle school. Though the dad wouldn't mind sharing, depending on his demeanor, I think he'll be a little on the lean-back kind of dad, but will be strict if he needs to be. I think the reason Yaguchi might take the confession slower than Kashima is that he's clearly trying to make it a perfect moment (probably to show he is not just flawed), as he had many chances to show his feelings, but it did not feel like the right time to share them. Though I wonder if Toono would be getting a new sibling, as it is a possibility for his parents to have one. I think it would give him a complex, as he currently feels guilty for not enjoying the presence of his stepmother, but now to show disdain to a new sibling just for their existence would just make Toono spiral. Though it would shine through for Kashima to probably know how to get through having a new family member, as Yaguchi is an only child.

    I don't mind listening I'm all ears, (*Turns into Patrick Star with huge ears image*) Also I'm not into the shipping thing and never thought of the ship names for Yaguchi and Tamura (I was just coming up with "Mug" cause they have some mug looking faces XDD) I think Tamura would probably be with Yaguchi, whoever helped him after that big fight as Yaguchi repeatedly said that was not him, Shikatani (IDK how or why, but seeing how Shikatani can be a bit leniatent on him is kind of making me specualate), or he'll be alone. Would be looking forward for Akemi and Itome flashback.

    Yeah, I think Kashima's big flaw is that he either does not want to lose another person he loves. Though I think the reveal is gonna be that Kashima is seeking someone to give his love to as, he knows the feelings Toono is going through as it gave us a peek that Kashima might've lost his mother too and is seeking the attention of to be noticed that he can be sad, but feels its best to just smile and move past it as he seems more mature compared to everyone else. That Yaguchi is just gonna be mad, as he normally gets everything he wants.

    Sorry about the late reply, I haven't checked my notifications for a hot minute

    First, I think it's pretty cool that you've dreamt about YBC lmaoo. I am a big dreamer too when I sleep but I haven't dreamt abt them even if I got really REALLY hooked last January (I tend to dream about things that's always been on my mind). That's the first time I read the manga and how I started my year. The people rejoicing over Yuri's gesture for Fujisaki made me realize there's actually a manga of YBC sooo I read it. I'm also under the impression lke the others that this would be prn without plot bcs of the anime, but turns out it was really goood. I like the theme song over the anime though. Back when I was a loser without embarrassment, I blast it always on my room UNFAZED haha. How about you? Have you been following the manga just recently too? Anyways, I TOTALLY fw the plot and it was a little funny to me on how you made them so in-character in your dreams cuz I could totally imagine Akemi being the one helping Tamura how to rope someone and that Yacchan is a total Tsundere but a lot more hateful bcs it's Tamura. Imagine tying your partner because you want to cuddle with them hahaha. Pls pls pls share it with me if you uploaded it somewhereee. I want to see your dream come to life cuz I think you're soo creative .

    I do think that the dad is the chill kind too! I hope they get a heart to heart talk, just so they can say to each other about what's inside them for so long; Toono not wanting the memories of his mom be altered and the reason why his dad remarried (could be he's scared to die alone or smtg). I like your idea more though, that they're having a child which could be the reason they're getting married. I hope they would talk it out though, so Toono won't have to experience all that. But I do think Kashima will be the one pushing him to go talk to his dad so we'll finally get a resolution. I also wanna see if Toono looked like his dad or his mom!

    For me though, I think the reason Yacchan still haven't confessed is because he's being a bit of a pussy lmaoo. At least that's a fun way for me to think about so I won't feel frustrated that we still haven't got a confession out of him. Something childish as such is definitely his brand and it feels very human (?) Because confession is definitely a hard thing to do for a lot so they're always stalling.

    Hahaha no no it's fine, it died down a little so I don't have the pent up passion to yap about them. OMG I NEVER REALIZED TAMURA AND SHIKATANI AS AN OPTION. That would be reaaally cute though (esp keeping in mind "that" chapter). I was thinking about Shikatani ending up with Itome beforehand (and Akemi could realize what he had lost and stuff) BUT I LOVEEE what you're up to hahaha.

    I burst out laughing on how you wrote your last paragraph hahahahahaha. It sounds like you're listing all these good qualities of Kashima, and when we reached to Yacchan, he's basically a bitch HAHHAHAHA LMAOO

    SUPER SORRY FOR THE LATE REPLY, I had to study for midterms now I'm free!!!!

    Hell yeah, I was a loser without embarrassment. I never knew about the incognito tab in Chrome, so I ended up having 100 tabs of yaoi. My algorithm once showed me a streaming service that just shows homosexual stories, which I found hilarious, but sadly, I never got to see it again. I even once showed the amount of tabs to my now Bestie and his friend during lunch as a freshman, and their faces were hilarious. I've been following the manga, I think, since 2018 or 2017, as I discovered yaoi when I was in middle school. I'll see when I feel creative, I would just spend that creativity just writing that little story down. Thank you, I love writing little stories or monologues, I wrote one about Kaze to ki no uta (A really old BL, really good, but very dramatic) I wrote a part where a character is describing Paris to his roomate, I left my upperclassmen and teacher speechless with it, I wish I saved it bc I can't find it anymore T-T.

    Yeah, true, Yacchan had times he could've confessed to Toono, but seeing the best time he could've was during the fireworks display, but he messed up as he went the wrong direction. Showed how much he planned it out, only for it to go terribly wrong, but he is glad Toono still enjoyed the gesture. I think Yacchan just need something to spark the confidence within him to know that he has to share his feeling to Toono or else he will forever beat himself down knowing he never got his chance.

    Yeah, Shikatani is my favorite character because he is so funny with his responses and I love how much he changes his character whenever he knew he needed to act like a leader or the adult in certain situations. Yeah, the dynamic between Shikatani and Tamura is very close-knit, seeing that Shikatani doesn't really refuse spending a night with him, despite the number of times Tamura tries to gross him out (I think he once said Shikatani was tied to a chair while Tamura purposely picked his nose and tried to get close to it, which caused Shikatani to vomit? and faint.) I also predict that it was Shikatani who helped Tamura after the fight that led him to have the nosebleed, bc one, Yacchan keeps heavily denying ever interacting with Tamura, and two, Shikatani shows that he acts mature and compassionate when he needs to be. I think it would be a cute twist that it led to that, but IDK. Also, we now learned that Tamura mainly prefers the looks of a person over personality. I never really see the connection of Itome leaving Akemi (IK what is wrong with me), but Akemi said theirs 3 rules that we YET have learned about. Itome knew how close Akemi and Minami were, seeing that he witnessed them making out in a classroom, and the third shares what is happening in Minami's life that would shatter or hurt Akemi entirely, knowing that he needs to move on. I would want to share that Akemi's advice that he gave to Toono, saying, "You don't need to have feelings right now, but you'll soon grow those feelings when being together," might be the implication that Akemi had with Itome. Also, I want to know the dynamic of Akemi's previous relationship, because he's SO insistent that he is a top. I think it might be he doesn't want to lose the one thing he had with Minami or doesn't want to feel inferior, as Akemi doesn't like women and/or probably being treated as one because of his height and cuteness.

    Yeah, I kind of didn't have anything to boast with Yacchan, but I'm glad you enjoyed reading it!

    AND OMG THE NEW CHAPTER IS OUT AND I ENJOYED IT REALLY MUCH!!!!

    It's nice to have you backk! Congrats for finishing midterms!

    HAHA that's me too, I still remember when mangago used to redirect you to some fashion site if you checked your history— THIS ONE ACTUALLY SAVED ME because back then there were something that had happened which made my fam check my phone (I was reading BJ Alex that time omfg) and yeah I was turning 8th grade that time. I wouldn't know what to do if they find out I was reading two men fucking at 13 .Good thing there weren't recos on my feed THOUGHH MY SHAMELESS ASS post yaoi stuffs on my socmeds wherein every people I know can see... I'm pretty sure they know something about that part of me. I had a friend too who I brainrotted with with bl stuffs, we would walk back to back on our street just to talk about CBAW. I totally miss those times I used to have someone to talk what bls I've read abt frfr. Maybe I'll check that story out after I find something with the same dynamic as Yacchan and Toono— I was really devastated. I really tried to be happy for Kashima and Toono, but I can't stop feeling sad abt Yacchan. I was alreadh sleepy earlier then got a notif for ybc update. After reading it, my dramatic ass genuinely weren't able to sleep. Glad that you really like it thoughh! If i weren't biased, I might name my first born after this chapter. Anyways, once I read it, I'd let you know! I'm kinda intrigued on the lore about Paris being described to somebody. Feels like heartbreaking though (if the roommate were a past lover or smtg), either the other person were blind or both of them wished to go to Paris but due to circumstances and their break up, only one of then got to go.

    There's no need for Yacchan to beat himself up for losing his chance, I'd do it myself.

    I REALLY LOVE SHIKATANI TOO (I hope the profile picture proves it lmfaoo). I only watched the anime before and when I saw him, I immediately knew I like it when men were feminine and maybe has a little attitude WHICH were also the reason I'm head over heels for him AND Yacchan. But back in their uhh I forgot what it's called but like their school outside event and when he got really worried about his missing freshmen and he's real mature for them UGHHHH I LOVE MY MALEWIFE SM. Keep talking about Shikatani x Tamura, I need the delusions LFMFSOSHA. Thoughh I think the nosebleed thing is really Yacchan, but he's only denying it cuz he detest Tamura. Ooh nice take on Itome and Akemi. For me, I think it'll be nice to see Itome choose himself for once since he always cater himself for Akemi. When I find out Akemi were still hang up with Itome's brother, while he is head over heels for him, Akemi gotta receive some consequences. He is a really strong character so breaking him will be interesting to see if it's going to be Itome (since it seems like it's only Itome who wants to be in the rs). They don't really have the conventional relationship so I wouldn't impose that onto them, yet there's a part of me that knows they, as a character in a story, will only grow without each other (and would serve drama for us too lol). Akemi gotta stop using Itome just bcs he's still longing for his brother, and Itome gotta stop taking advantage of it just to only have a little bit of Akemi. With Akemi's topping streak, maybe it was a power/control thing for him (which I think suits him). Not saying that there's assertive ≠ bottoms, but if I remember correctly Minami were also a top? He's hunting them tops down to bottom for him typa thing. Just a little silly and surface level theory on that.

    Yeah, I'm so used on using sites that would constantly open tabs on a new page. I used to use a different yaoi manga site to read yaoi on. I got so used to the pop ups that I knew that after 2 or 3 taps I got ready to close the new tab. My family doesn't know I'm a fujoshi either, as it would freak them out how much I would spend on merch for YBC.

    I also get the feeling of just rotting someone's brain about BL, as I did the same when I met my best friend. Like it was the biggest risk on my end. I was a freshman during acting class, majority of the class were hiding the fact we were on our phones. My BFF asked, "what are you watching?", IDK what got on my mind to just show him a scene of the sex toys on the coffee table in the YBC (BTW I downloaded the 2 episodes of YBC and now have the audio volumes of it too.) He leaned forward and saw what I showed him and responded, "I've seen that before." I was so elated and asked him how. He only saw the funny bits from YT From there, I read with him YBC (he hasn't caught up, but I'll have to catch up. as his favorite is Yacchan, but he hates Akemi, and we became best friends ever since. It's so fun talking to someone who also likes YBC, as it's so annoying that this yaoi is getting so much hate for people who aren't giving it a chance or saying people should be on a list. Like, actually spend some time reading it, and you will see we haven't seen teachers preying on the students; when you do the club actually takes action if any harm is happening. If the person does read and hates it, I would gladly like to discuss it with them, as I enjoy hearing people praising something I like as well as hearing opposing opinions.

    For Paris, it mainly describes Gilbert's (MC's partner) time in Paris when he was 8 or 9 Y/O. The way he was the center of attention, noble people begging him to arrive to their parties, recieving many gifts from them. Though it was just surface level kindness, as when he arrives home he is alone and left in the care of his "Augu" a cold distant man that treats him like a puppet. The manga is a good read, as I said its dramatic, artsyle really good, just got to keep in mind the TW as the setting is set in ancient times.

    You're gonna tie up Yacchan and lock him in a closet or locker. Disguise yourself as him and confess to Toono yourself? Dang, you a good friend for him, lets hope Toono is dense headed and won't tell the difference.

    HELL YEAH SHIKATANI THE GOAT! I think it would be cute for Shikatani to cross-dress Tamura with the clothes he buys, it would be so cute. Tamura is gonna "feel bonita~" Another thing I like about Shikatani's character is the close friendship he has with Akemi, as they would be able to sense if either of them is acting off. Which I see it is so cute! Like Akemi knew the thing Shikatani had with the science teacher had to end immediately, and Shikatani was worried about Akemi's distress over Minami's situation. One thing that I want to theorize is, did Minami had a GF during his time in Mori Mori academy, bc to be married and to instantly have a kid in a year time spand is a bit fast. I just think maybe Minami just wanted to be with Akemi, as he's very cute and short, and probably knew the longest since Akemi attended Mori Mori since middle school. Though if that's the case, I wonder why Itome would say nothing about it, like was he threatened by Minami like we need more info on these third year's past. I can't really say that Akemi doesn't like Itome as, he did show concern and was worried when the thought of Itome being missing in the forest. Though I wonder what's Itome is thinking most of the time, as much as he's popular in school he doesn't really go out and sleep around with others in the academy.

    Ayoo you got ybc merch???? I have no idea where to buy one here in my country. I've gone to some animecon but there's really no merch for bls. I'd like to buy some volumes but I'm afraid they would see the contents inside lmaoo.

    I totally love how your lore connects back to YBC HAHAHA my old friend before, we're only aware of the ova and the ost so that's the only thing we managed to talk about. And in my current friend group, I have 2 other friends who also have nerdy interests like mine and we call ourselves wkawka (Weird Kid Allegation²) loll. The term "Weird Kid Allegation" was first used only for the two of them (it's like a running gag in our group) because they wasn't aware I had the same interests like them— I was lowkey masking that time since I haven't really touched any bls nor anime for like a year or two. I am dying to talk about YBC or other bls I've been reading but we got different tastes . They're really into fluff (the all sunshine and rainbow kind) while I unfortunately am not. I've read some fluffs, yes, but it's not the kind that I would deliberately look for when I'd like to read something. I remember them getting excited with their mentions when we were sharing some we've read, while I def sound like "porn, porn, murderer with porn, comedy porn" to them. They read those kinds too thoo so don't get fooled. We even played Summertime Saga for funsies in our classroom lolll. Also, we talked about who is our YBC favs before, if I was not mistaken their fav was Kashima then Yuri, while I mentioned my glorious malewife Shikatani. I was waiting for one of them to catch up with the manga rn and we both like YaguToono so I'm patiently waiting trying not to ruin it for them with the things I'd like to talk about. Your friend was so real though for liking Yacchan and shitting on Akemi .

    Totally agree that they should check the manga first. I was originally surprised when I first read it because I didn't think it would be this fire. My initial impression would just be bunch of smut but Tanaka is such a great mangaka. I think one of the reason people dislikes YBC is because these are bunch of highschoolers doing the deeds that I saw them being angry at Tanaka and such. Maybe I'm just the go with the flow kind without my principles upfront when it comes to reading, which is why I completely understood that the YBC plot isn't something to be taken seriously that I only see the fact they're highschoolers doing that loosely. Anyways, it's completely understandable if it makes them uncomfortable which is why they don't want to check the manga out first, but saying "YBC sucks" without getting into it is SLANDERRRR.

    OOOOH sounds like a psychological one!! I like psychological stories, and for some reason is a-okay with wtf plots, so this highkey interests me. Might check ig out soon after I catch up to my current reads.

    NOO HAHA I meant Yacchan doesn't need to beat himself up because I'm beating him up myself. I might take some of your idea though to tie him up and put him inside a closet.

    Shikatani is like the referee for Akemi and Itome relationship too. He's like this omniscient with their sides in their relationship; Shikatani saw Itome after he witnessed Minami and Akemi, then Shikatani also trying to talk to Akemi about what's up with Minami. I think Minami got his gf pregnant then proceed to get married (which is how it usually goes here in Asia at least). A part of Minami still wants Akemi for sure, but since Akemi didn't fought for him before and he's soon to be a father, it wouldn't work anymore. From how I see it, I think Itome didn't say anything because he knows that Akemi were downbad to his brother, and there's nothjng he could do. And even if he do thinkof sayjng smtg, i feel like he's afraid of him facing the truth . Yeahh there's still some parts with that hasn't been explored yet and I'm excited to learn about how's Itome and Minami's relationship as siblings.

    You might be right. Akemi and Itome's relationship were the most complex one in YBC (at least for me) so I'm having a bit of a hard time to figure out Akemi's intention and affection towards Itome based on what we only know at the moment. Itome's loyalty towards Akemi is highly commendable. Lowkey the level of commitment Yuri showed when he left the club for Fujisaki.

    Ayoo you got ybc merch???? I have no idea where to buy one here in my country. I've gone to some animecon but there's really no merch for bls. I'd like to buy some volumes but I'm afraid they would see the cont... nerdscometopapa

    Not really, I mainly just own 3 of the mangas right now and the limited edition Yuri Ayato figure garage kit. When I learned the existence of that figure, I begged my mom to buy it for me. I was lucky it wasn't too lewd. All Yuri had was a hard-on, but it was barely noticeable. I was lucky because the price was $100+, but I was confused about why there were two different option prices. Mine being cheaper by a hundred dollars, until I learned the $200+ pricetag was for the figure being completely painted and ready to be assembled. When mine arrived, I had to prep, paint, make resin, and assort it myself. I still have him in his box. One day, I'll make him beautiful and alive. Until I know how to paint figures and resin things, I will complete Yuri. I hope they make a Shikatani figure one day, I would so pay the extra 2 hundred dollars to have him ready for display, no matter how lewd he is.

    Nawww man, I thought I was the only freak too, I mainly get invested in the action scenes too. Like, I don't mind reading really good stories (I would recommend Penguin Frontier's works, they are drawn beautifully, like that artist puts effort into drawing toenails), but if I were to choose between reading a good story or straight-up porn, I'd choose the porn option. Though I do enjoy comedy ones, as they are very creative with their jokes, which would always be in my head. Yeah, I hope they would enjoy the journey on how Yacchan would try to win Toono's attention away from Kashima. As well as an addition to Fujisaki coming back to school from his suspension.

    Yeah, I just find it annoying that the media would just completely hate on YBC, just because it's popular and doesn't want to dig in the trenches of the worst yaois or hentais that are out there. Like, I know one yaoi that if the media finds it and sees the characters and setting, they would lose their minds and would attack the author. I can defend the author, for them to acknowledge that their choice of characters was really risky. I want them to update it to just see how it ends. Hopefully, with the 2 characters getting help from trusted adults, the MC teacher being arrested, and the father of the younger character being arrested too. Hell yeah, Tanaka is an amazing managaka, she writes so many great stories, like IDK if you know her popular one "Happy of the End" is written so beautifully and made me tear up at one point.

    Yeah, when rereading, Akemi and Minami's interaction, it kind of gives an understanding of how their relationship was. Akemi seemed confident that Minami would hold the relationship after graduation, but Akemi did not chase after him. I wonder if this is supposed to clue us, the reader, that Akemi expects people to always be with him or never feel abandoned, since he is very popular and persuasive. I wonder if Minami didn't have enough confidence to just be with Akemi, as Minami and Itome's family are really rich and would most likely have high expectations for the eldest son. While I think Itome would not shy away from leaving his relationship with Akemi like his brother. Seeing that Itome is confident in his actions and is respected by peers and adults. I hope we'll get more answers soon, because I know when that plot starts, we'll all be taking sides, looking for clues, and making theories about what it's gonna lead to.

    IS THST THE YURI AYATO ONE WHERE HE'S LIKE ON A SWIMMING FLOATER?? I just saw that in this one pre-loved japanese selling place. It was still unboxed but it's already sold. I'm so happy for you mannn. I dohope so tooo— the only Shikatani merch I saw that I can display in my room is like this glass thing. I think I could buy it in taobao (def a dupe but as long as it's Shiktani) . A bit hesitant to do it tho because Im not really the fan that would go out and buy merchandises because I know that once I begin doing that, I'm going for a spree and would wipe out my hard earned miney lolololll. Alsoo love that your mom's supportive and gifting you it even if it's mad expensive (I'm not sure if hundred dollars is considered expensive in your country but it is here since our currency is a lot lower compared to usd).

    I haven't heard him beforee but having a rendered 4k toenail is so funny lmaoooshsjajah. Yes yes YESS, I've trained for this since sixth grade— started with facing my family with a stone cold face while reading the most explicit age inappropriate wattpad fanfiction ever known to man. Also, with how committed we are at reading porn, is it something could be considered porn addiction? I'm not sure with your case but you choosing porn over good story is sooo reall. Smut stories are so captivating I cannot stop choosing them to read over others. And same againn!!! I love comedyyy. I've been rereading nanhao and shang feng and plans to do the same with 19 days (I miss them so muchh). I also read before wherein the soap is real gay with their owner (like they'd do anything for them to get used by him in his body) Other than those, YBC is such a good comedy yaoi ugh I can't find anything else like it. It's so top tierrr + the good ass storyljne as well.

    I think that one's on my wanted to read list!!! I'm just persevering to catch up with my current reads rn so I'll definitely check that out after. Also, btw, I'm reading the one we talked about last time. I'm enjoying it so far! There are times though that Igst confused sith the flow but maybe it's because I'm unfamiliar on how to follow stories from the old mangas like that. I'm still at the chapter 2 or 3 I think rn. The uke lowkeynuinely reminds me of Ash from Banana Fish for some reason. Ash but a lot more twinkified. I feel like maybe with how there's an old man at the beginning and them being pretty af even men recognizes ball. Maybe it's the aura as well. Anyways, might continue reading after waking up— thanks for this amd other recos btww I appreciate you mah man I hope your pillow is cold on both sides when you sleep tonight.

    Holon holkn holon— the way you phrased that... "Akemi seemed confident that Minami would hold the relationship" GODDAMN that hit me like a truck. I've never seen it in that point of view before omg you're a genius. I can't form a coherent thoughts about that right now but that's such a good statement to ponder about. I wish I coukd share my thoughts about that right now cuz I'm a little tired rn to think clearly but mostly cuz you've spoonfed me such good analyzations and I just agree with evsrything you've said. I need you to make a whole YBC analysis article damn I love nerding out abt ybc w you

    YES INDEED!!!!! I saw him on an IG reel years ago, the post saying they are sadly too broke to afford it, and I was like THERE'S A FIGURE OUT??!! Then, I got him and learned about different types of anime figures. Yeah, as much as I want to by the already completed one, they are going for 1k$, which is crazy, but understandable cause it was a limited edition which did not cross my mind once. Yeah, I see a lot of merch on Ebay selling YBC merch some prices are reasonable with good portion of stuff, but I did see a tiny plush of shikatani that was selling for 200 which I love him, but that was a bit crazy price. I get it man, I'm making sure I don't go broke with the amount of merch and plushies I want to get. Some merch of YBC is mangas and the animation deisgn art books which I REALLY WANT, but the Ebay sellers are just using the same picutes which I hate, as I cannot tell which is real or just fake. When my mother was swiping on the images of the Yuri figure, one slide just showed the bulge, which my mom was questioning, but I swiped more to just show her the size of the figure. Yeah, I'm living in FL, USA. ALSO I JUST GOT MY LIFE SIZE GLACEON PLUSH TODAY IM SO HAPPY 400 DOLLARS WAS WORTH IT!!

    YEAH, I was crashing out too, when looking at his mangas and UHG I WISH TO REACH THAT SKILL IN ART one day. YEAH MAN, I was trained to find my first yaoi through Google images starting with a bland ship to to finding a REALLY old yaoi (Like I just learned that yaoi came out the year I was born :O) The circle of life of a fujoshi XD I think were fine, as porn addicts will have high standards on whose bodies should be displayed on camera or media. I don't really judge people on beauty or body image to an extent, and I don't really have a say on who's beautiful, as I look like a slob. So I think we are fine, as we just keep our pervertedness to just yaoi rather than having it harm people IRL.

    I don't think so, as it's not available on here. I just went to the author's X account and they are not continuing it, as I stated it was really on the character designs of the 2 chracters. Though they are gonna make a sequel to it, most likely gonna make the 2 chracters aged up. If you are interested, it is called "Let's play with teacher." As I said, the teacher should be in jail, like no excuses, and that father.

    OH??!!! Kaze to ki no uta. WAIT before you read it, I would recommend watching the OVA first, as it's beautifully animated, even if it's old. There's a Japanese dub and an Italian dub, which surprised me. Like the YBC OVA, it doesn't give the viewers all the information that has happened, so even if you watch it completely, it would still leave you guessing what has happened. Especially when I watched it when I was in 6th grade, like I thought the OVA was Kazeki to no uta, until I learned there was a manga 3 years later. I think you can watch it on YT or some yaoi manga sites, really cute OVA its gonna look like an old Disney movie IMO. Also, I might reread it with you, as I haven't finished it. Another thing I think you could tell is whose my favorite character. And yeah, I see that a lot of the similarities between Gilbert and Ash, as Gilbert's design was inspired by Björn Andrésen (he inspired many popular anime character designs, may he rest in peace)

    Dang I didn't mean to kill you with a single sentence. I was just looking back and came up with a little theory, but I'm glad it made sense. I'll be sure to read your thought's thoroughly, as I do appreaciate other's feedback. One day I'll make some form of content with YBC, but I would need to gather better information and improve my writing, as I make so many little grammatical errors. I really enjoy nerding dude its so fun meeting a person with the same interests!!!!
