What even is this geezer's plan? You can't just throw people into an asylum for no medical nor criminal reason, wtf. Also if you're held captive, make some kind of identifying marks of longevity in the room so you can prove you were trapped there over a time scale if you get out and can contact police. What's with people in comics hanging out in captivity all docile? Don't just take shit lying down, scheme!
This gave me so many jemotions
Both of my parents became disabled in my youth and I have chronic disabling illnesses. We have all been caregivers and in need of care. It is so wonderful to see representation of a positive caregiver relationship when so often in media, the narrative is about burnout and the burden it places on someone. I also appreciate the representation of the brutal realities of life with pain and illness and being othered by society. A lot of people associate these things with aging, but no, it can happen anytime and it affects your entire life. And it really shows who is ride or die in your corner.
I am also shocked at how accommodating places are in Japan, if I were writing an equivalent story set in America, it would be a multi-volume ragefest on how no buildings/companies comply to basic ADA law.
I thought there was a unique dynamic happening, now I see the standard tropes coming out and I'm losing interest. I want to see more about the weird parents and what's going on in that cursed crime scene of a house. Let's get a proper reveal of what happened with this blonde creeper getting his head bonked in the past. I wish we could speedrun the the coming of age crap, I already served my time as a teenager and do not have the patience for another 60 chapters of waffling about feelings, being in denial about reality, and complaining about unfairness.
I still don't know wtf a party boy is supposed to be and why the professor would care to study one. I still don't even get the original premise of the story after reading the entire thing lol. I have a feeling the author might not either. (･o･;)
The one time I decided to read a straight manga and I picked the one written by someone with brain worms
I like the buffet of couples. A lil this and a lil that. Vitamin het and gay minerals, part of a balanced diet.
Everyone had shady side parts in 2007 and it was glorious. Bring back emo and scene hair. I will be balding in the corner, but I will support you from afar
It's really good if you bonk your head with a hammer first
Sometimes you just wanna sit someone down and explain that the statute of limitations on whining about their crappy ex has expired ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Sometimes you read a story where there are zero likeable characters, and the author and readers try to justify it by saying conflict drives a story.
But then there's this. Literally everyone is amazing and the story is still interesting and the weight of the conflict is still so heavy. This is one of the best things I've read in a long time.
I liked it, and I liked both leads, but the reasons to keep them apart felt too juvenile for the ages of the main characters. These are 30/40 year old men, why is Nakatani goofing around unnecessarily saying stuff like "not my type jk lol" and "I don't deserve to fall in love after what I did to my wife" and then doing a 180 and confessing a chapter later? Nakatani's reasoning for his behavior toward Asato didn't line up with what we were shown to be his actual thoughts for why he behaved the way he did towards Asato in the flashback in the last chapter. Why would he repeatedly, intentionally draw a line and then be like "missed my chance fml" for the next several months
It also seemed weird that the main villain of the story was Shimono, who was the reason for the demotion/transfer, but ultimately the transfer had no bearing on keeping the pair apart and therefore no impact on the main conflict of the story.
I can tell my meds are working because these overwrought sappy conversations are just bouncing off my deadened emotions like nothing ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I feel like I've read so many one shot compilations that have one yeehaw chapter that blindsides you out of nowhere with even more bizarre yaoi logic than normal.
The main character finally showed up lol
I like the kids' cursed salad
What kind of stupid lie must Evil Grandpa have told Haebom to get him to agree to this corny scheme? Everyone was supportive of their relationship so there were no obstacles. He can't really threaten any of his friends or family, they're all dead or shared with Taesung and therefore physically/financially protected.
He could have made a moral accusation that shook Haebom, like maybe the boys are actually related. But that also makes zero sense, because Taesung's Grandma, Eunsun, and Silver Fox Daddy would have also known this and objected to the relationship.
