Mc is giving agoraphobic limerent he’s soo me
To keep it simple, Agoraphobia can be the fear of leaving one’s own comfort zone (often their homes), though that part is a bit far-stretched since we don’t know much about the MC yet. It just seems like he’s a bit of a hikkikomori (japanese term for a shut-in), but obviously I might be wrong.
Limerence is involuntary obsessing over someone, it typically forms when the limerent person is uncertain whether their “love” is reciprocated or not. I put love in quotation marks because a lot of times it’s less about the person being in love but rather that they desire to be desired by the one they desire. “The experience of limerence can include obsessional thinking about the object of one’s limerent desire, an irrationally positive evaluation of that person’s attributes, and a longing for reciprocation. Limerence can make a person feel ecstatic, their mental life focused on a passionate, anxious desire. It can also result in a state of agony if and when the feelings are not reciprocated.” (Source: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/limerence/amp) It can happen with people you know but also complete strangers. Mc keeps making up scenarios of his desire being reciprocated and goes as far as deluding himself that his neighbour feels the same, despite there being no indication of it (though for plot reasons, it did turn out he was right lol.) Chapter 5 seems to play a bit into it as well. Take it with a grain of salt though, I just love making up parallels between me and fictional characters.
hi i’m looking for a manga where the brother of a soon-to-be-married bride has to pretend to be a girl and stand in for his sister because she runs away with her lover. i don’t remember much beyond that besides that the sister returns at one point of the story and takes her place back but the brother has already fallen for the ml. it’s quite old and the art style is a bit unusual but pretty. it was either yaoi or shounen ai
haha not receiving any updates makes me feel so strangely empty. i’ve been using this website since 2017 and there hasn’t been a single morning where i don’t check up on what manga have been updated. it’s so integrated into my routine that it feels weird now that there’s nothing. but i’m glad the lists are slowly coming back
AND THE CROWD CHEERS
