I don't??? Get it??? Like, what is the premise of the story? What is the author trying to convey making this type of character?? Anxiety for the future? But his enabler of a friend is not a good example either. Just what?
I think they just wanted to verbalise a feeling of disjunction with society
There is a reason we do not relate to the seme (plus he was an ass about it so heh ain't no way we're gonna try hard for him)
The thinking that we all want to be productive is weird? Why would we want to do things all the time? Is it really true that we derive meaning from the things we do? Etc I think this idea is a REALLY good thing to tackle because well... With how mindless most of our actions are we may desire something deeper and it's just never been verbalised? (Like sure, I derive meaning from drawing but maybe I just want to have my imagination be more tangible? And with technology there is definitely a future where even that can be realised)
However... The author didn't choose a wholesome way to look at this question nor did they try to truly answer it, instead they opted for the meta discussion of should society accept people who do not derive a self from any productivity
And their answer is obviously yes. That's why the uke is there. But they're also aware that they live in a society and the majority rules at least most of the time and they choose to present their opinion through the realistic present pejorative view of society on this person who doesn't derive a sense of self from productivity
Yes the story is in the seme's pov but all the scenes never bother to actually explain him, they're literary re-enforcing what society thinks of how these people think
I found it interesting in that regard but everything else trash. Absolute trash.
Daym. I just wrote the comment out of frustration but kudos to you, my guy, for actually engaging with me seriously.
While I do think writing this heavy topic would make the story interesting but cramming it into 5 chapters only with no in-depth explanation to the characters kinda sucks. But who knows, we still have 2 chapters left. Maybe the story would progress ( ̄∇ ̄")
I just felt prompted by you to give it a thought since most mangakas are in their late 20s to 40s (which is quite old) and I thought surely they didn't just want us to feel frustrated, they worked too much on those scenes with the kid running (´ . . . `)
I'm actually more interested right now to know why would you describe this topic as heavy?
I honestly don't think the execution in this story has much hope
We've come a looooong way. I'm tearing up a little bit lolololol. Hot smex till old men
