the new fonts and extra translations feel really immersive and interesting. thank you for thinking of more ways to deliver this scanlation well to us :)
Wow thank you, this was really nice of you to say! I checked out your translations on your tumblr, you're really good :)
you flatter me....(kiss)
this manhwa is teaching me that its okay to say no, and how to say it. as a former people-pleaser whos finally building their self-esteem, this feels awesome.
ogeretsu tanaka changed quite a few key points of this manga from the monthly magazine serialisation to its release as a full volume (tankoubon) in 2017. i havent reread this manga for quite some time now so i dont remember much of the plot, but i do rememeber feeling that the changes in the full volume resolved a lot of conflict that i had with the original.
as far as im aware, the version on here is from the magazine scans. if youre interested in reading the full volume (tankoubon) version, heres a link to the scanlators post: http://seraphic-deviltry.com/2015/11/07/neon-sign-amber-eng/
thanks!
thank you!
if you love this manga, youll love the live action :) whilst adachi isnt as dry as he is in the manga and hes a little cuter, he still retains his humour and thoughtfulness. kurosawa isnt as perverted and hes also a little cuter- boy is his actor dangerous...i think that you can definitely enjoy the manga and live action as separate entities or together - theyre similar but the different formats make me feel different kinds of warmth. the live action reaches the end of the manga too. you can find it on kissasian.
the authors drawings at the end always look better than the manga. i feel like they mustve drawn the manga long ago, and have added little redraws of certain scenes and extras later on as their art style has improved. its really nice to be able to compare them both in the same chapter.
it was refreshing to try and figure out koiwais background with the phone strap and why he was apprehensive about dating yamashita even though we were reading from his point of view when these incidents occurred. im not sure what this technique of perspective is called, but it feels like the author wrote an omniscient narration with a switching focus between the main characters. this way the author could choose what information to reveal whilst still keeping an intimate connection with the reader. most BL is narrated as if the reader is in the characters head and so theres no surprise and any exposition falls flat.
the whole time i still had faith in koiwai to be a nice person (low expectations for romance manga lol), but i was scared that id receive unsatisfactory answers to the inquests above - much like when i read other BL that tries to use the same technique. the simple human depth of both characters was wonderful, especially koiwai as we followed him the most. i enjoyed both characters a lot and i want to both be and have a yamashita. man, do i want a yamashita.
thank you so much for uploading these volumes :) i relate to kanda a lot and seeing him on the path to heal with fukumaru and the people around him makes me so happy and warm that ive cried from many of these chapters :)
hayane dentous stories so far have always told a tale of a woven a love that appears to have pre-empted fate with strings that look thin, but are very strong. their stories also take a modern twist. it isnt "blind love at first sight" that guides their characters, but the desire to figure out and explain their connection to each other.
as a scanlator and uploader myself id prefer the new volume to be uploaded here. whilst it has a different name, its continuing the same story with the same characters. it also makes it easier to understand that vol 1s story is first and vol 2s story is second if theyre ordered like that under one link.
i would upload a spin-off separately because obviously the main characters would be different, but thats not the case here.
thank you very much for your kindness in sharing one of my favourite stories :) im excited to read the next part.
ive never had a partner but i think that i have a biting fetish. this story has reminded me that sharing your fetishes and guilty pleasures is the same as opening up your chest and showing your heart - the person who sees that is somebody that you want to trust. for them to reject you for something so 'you', would be like stabbing you right in the heart that you chose to expose.
