hi there , merry xmas!
beta
So, I'm the type of person who avoids drama and detests love triangles (or any other geometric shape of love). But I'm not really mad at the sister, or Ginga, or any of the other characters in this manga. Why?
Well, because with the way the author wrote this, it is clear that it was never about "gaining" or "stealing" or "winning" love. I feel like the emphasis in this work is quite largely and explicitly on the importance of communication. The characters confess, not because they're trying to win the affection of the others, but because they are trying to communicate. To be understood by others and to in turn understand others. We also see this in the interaction between the main characters, and between the main characters and the side characters. The turning point is when they stop "thinking" and start "saying" what they feel.
So yeah. I don't like love drama, but in my opinion, this manga... doesn't classify as such. It was made very clear from the narration that there was never any "outer enemy". This manga is about dealing with one's own internal feelings in relation to others, rather than interpersonal conflict. And I myself think that internal feelings and the expression of them through mutual dialogue and conversation is such an important and undervalued aspect of interpersonal relations.
This turned out very long, and perhaps a bit too deep, but I guess i just wanted to say that I appreciate this manga's theme and message ^^
Uhm! Exactly what I was thinking! You worded it so well! Anyways, I love this story a lot. I know that stuff like confessing to move on is not really a thing in the real word and it could ultimatley lead to complicated relationships, I still feel the authors dedication to show us that saying waht you feel is better than just bottling it all up. I learned a lot of things in this manga since Mahiro's anxiety and lack of confidence really hit home.
I might make this my Go-to manga whenever I feel unconfident. It was just THAT precious ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Indeed ^^ while the scenario isn't necessarily ~realistic~ i feel like the manga conveys an important message, and for that i am glad. Too much romance relies on "outer threats" to create conflict and suspense in the story, which is both unrealistic and superfluous. Human interaction is already quite difficult enough without the addition of 9 love rivals and a villainous father -.-
this story shows that the key to good interpersonal relationships isn't eliminating threats created by other people, but actual communication and interaction. Even if it hurts in the moment, even if it's difficult or causes disagreement in the moment, doing your best to convey your feelings and in turn doing your best to understand the feelings of others is the way to go imo ^^
I've seen a couple of people on this site who are Muslim or from a Muslim family, which is why I'm taking the chance of asking my question here.
It's just something that popped into my head while cramming for a religion test.
As far as I've understood, fasting happenes between sunrise and sunset in the month of Ramadan, right? And is a pretty important part of the religion altogether. But what would one do if one lived in North-Norway or any other part within the arctic circle where the sun never sets in summer and never rises in winter?
They follow their fatwa which is a ruling on a point of Islamic law given by a recognized authority. And their fatwa said that they can use mecca's time for fasting.
Ohh. Thank you very much. This was not explained in our schoolbook, so I was confused as to how one would accustom the religious practice to different locations. Thanks for explaining it to me ^^
This is a question for all the straight, gay and bi people out there. I've read a lot of romance/smut (both mangas of various genres and normal books) where a person will think of the person they're in love with when they masturbate, and i was wondering if this was something people usually do, or just added in for dramatic effect? I've also noticed that most people seem to think the bigger the dick, the better (especially boys). This seems pretty irrational to me, as i'd think that a smaller dick would be less of a burden to the vagina/ass, but i'm wondering if straight girls/gay boys actually prefers them to be big?
sincerely, ace girl (￣∇￣")
Sup, gay girl here, can’t say much abt dicks but as for me personally, I couldn’t masturbate just to the thought of a person... like it’s just not enough stimulation? Idk ^-^
I’m interested in what other ppl have to say though~
a follow ace girl as well, and I've never masturbated in my 21 years old in this life. So I'm interested to see the answers (≧∀≦)
Don't know...... Virgin here........... Let's see what experience holder's will say
I'm an ace girl as well, 19. And I actually do masturbate but I don't really think about anyone or anything. Masturbation is an act od self pleasing. It has nothing to do with sex. In my case, I just focus on my good spots and that's it.
I once masturbated (didn't feel really pleasuring so i stopped XD i'm not a slave to pleasure) and i dont think about anybody, its kind of just doing it for myself. I'm asexual so I do have fetishes and whatever like a normal person (just wouldn't wanna do it in real life) but i don't understand why people would like big dicks as well, haha although its nice to brag about it would be hard to deal with as the bottom
20 year old girl, I guess I'm straight since my partners have been men. When it comes to masterbating the thought of my boyfriend normally isn't enough honestly. I need visual aids. When it comes to big dicks, I don't like them. They hurt me. What's more important to me is girth rather than length. So I say 6 inches is best. Hopes this helps your curiosity (●'◡'●)ﾉ
Lesbian girl here. (20 in a few days) Obviously can't say anything about penis sizes either lol.. But about the masturbating part... Actually, last time when I was in love, I did try masturbating to the thought of her, but it just felt a little too awkward to go too far, so I stopped halfway, and the next day I couldn't even look at her, lol. It just didn't feel right somehow? I think, that however, if I had actually been in a relationship with her, I would have done it without second thought lol, but without being in a relationship with her, it felt like overstepping my boundaries somehow? Like I was... idk defiling my thought of her? idk what I'm even trying to say here actually XD Imagining myself kissing her was no problem, just ... doing more in my head was weird, because I knew she didn't like me like that.... Does this make sense somehow? It's definitely not because I'm too innocent or something like that, I've masturbated to porn and all before haha (￣ε(#￣)Σ
Bi, 20 here I agree with Lololala lol just the thought of the person is not enough I guess? And also it's a bit awky for me lol I need something more passionate I guess.. ohom
(〜￣△￣)〜 Except for that when it comes to penis size it doesn't matter to me really like for example Westerners' penises yes larger than majority of East Asian countries but most when it's hard can be jelly like (ugh i even disgusted myself with this comparison i am dying why am i writing this omfg) and like East Asian penises (as far as my little experience goes) are hard when it's hard not like jelly like (i am lit dying ) So more than the size the effectiveness is better I guess??
Masturbate to the thought of a person? Nayyy never worked for me. Rather i tend to get more turned on when I think about the hot smexy scenes from my favourite yaoi mangas (≧∀≦) Not my fault that my pervy mind prefers gay scenes Kayyy? ╮(￣▽￣)╭ I'm straight though.
Hi, i'm 19 and i'm a dude.
It's hard for me to get aroused at the thought of someone while I masturbate. I need to watch porn or read some erotic mangas.
Personally, I like big dicks but not exaggeratedly, like a 10 cm one. That'd be a killing machine and would give me a pain in the butthole. For me, it needs to be a little bit thick and long.
Yeah, i'm hella picky when it comes to penises.
sorry for my lack of culture but what does "ace girl" mean?
just curious...
Demisexual girl here! I masturbate, but I don't think about my crush. What I do is read something hot (you know what I mean) from Haikyuu doujinshis to 50 shades of Gray, imagine the scene and get off. Sometimes I like to exercise my imagination and think about some of my fetish (and yes you can be ace and get all hot and bothered about something) and imagine a couple making out. Of course sometimes I like to imagine myself in the place of some characters, but I get more excited with the text/imagine
And about the penises... I don't know, maybe it's a fetish or something, guys are a little obssessed with their penis size, believe me, if you want to pick a fight with a guy, just say his penis is tiny (even if you don't know). About hurt their partner, I think you can injure your uke/gf if you put without preparation and lubrification (what am I saying?), if you just be gentle and patient it's gonna be okay... at least it was what my bi friend said to me when I asked him how things worked between to guys and if it doesn't hurt when your partner put. LOL
Bigger dick r not........ Just wanna know does it hurts for guys when a guy put their dick in their ass??and does it feel good???
Why don't you girls try it yourself to know whether it feels good or not?
Naahhh....... If you can't tell us then don't....Just wanna know bcoz in manga it's hurt and then they started feeling good..l know it's fiction .that why l ask.....I'm not that Curious to lend my ass to someone just to know..... Thanks for your advice
that she's ace means that she's asexual (=・ω・=)
oooh thank you!
Sorry if you got offended my love, it wasn't my intention. But I never meant to say that you should lend your ass to someone just to experience anal sex.
Well, i've experienced it and my first time did hurt a little because me and my partner were both unexperienced and didn't exactly know what to do. We didn't have lube at that moment so I had to masturbate with my fingers to stretch it out.
It felt horrible at the start, but after a few times doing it, the pain decreased and it felt good. I think it's different for everyone so that's my own experience.
If that's not your intention, then it's alright.. And thank you for sharing your experience....
No prob (⌒▽⌒)
hi there , merry xmas!
From the start I didn't really relate much to tatsumi (probably because I'm not very aggressive and also tend to petrify from social anxiety at restaurants) BUT that scene in chapter 5 where he just kinda casually outs their relationship and shinobu goes "ahhh right i didn't tell him to keep his mouth shut", like damn that was relatable content right there. As a kid i was always told i couldn't be told secrets because i never kept them. And I'd be so confused, because i did keep secrets... as long as people informed me that the piece of information I had been given was, in fact, a secret. It took me quite long to understand that people just kinda assumed you'd... be able to automatically identify what was sensitive information that they didn't want leaked and separate it from what was okay to talk about? Even knowing that, i still can't really automatically tell whether something is sensitive information or not, so when people tell me big personal things (like when my buddy came out to me, or my brother told me he was engaged) I tend to ask specifically whether it's something I should keep hush hush about or not.
Also, the jar-opening thing, man. That was lovely and I approve xp
Ahhh. And I also just walked into a store to buy new boots because my old ones were dead, and in my anxiety I just slapped the corresponding size Dr. Martens from the shelves on the desk and went "this... pair... have...err...?" And my friend had to cut in and be like "she'd like a pair of these in size 40 please" so yeah. Coming off as rude or weird without meaning to is definitely a thing that happens xp
