this was so freaking good!!!
i went to the mangaka's twitter and they were taking a health break for awhile but last month announced that they'll be working on a sequal/spin-off to this story!!
judging by the amount of art/merch already including them, it may be airu and chiaki focused... i hope we can also get crumbs to yoichi and his ex
im crying,, so much
seeing more of them is a blessing
i love everyone in this so much,, and i love the amount of bullshit that happens when TLR hangout with each other. gotta be my fav fictional band ever
complaining about rape when this deals with mafia themes like... are we really expecting green flags in the fucking mafia
I mean if we're talking realism, haven't done that very well either
not even about realism but the fact that people are seriously expecting something green with the mafia as a vocal point the fork is in another building atp
I mean but ur point is about realism
no??? it's about me finding it stupid that people see "mafia yaoi" and expect it to be wholesome and fluffy and then getting upset that it's not. you have to be delusional to be actually upset at mafia yaoi having rape or blackmail in it.
it's not about realism on the story's part but realism in people's expectations
But you're basing what should be realism in ppl's expectations on realism in real life??? the whole reason you're like you can't expect there not to be rape in a mafia story is because it's about the mafia and that's based on what they get up to in real life. But doesn't make sense bc manga are never accurate about the mafia. There's literally loadsssss of manga with "wholesome" mafia storylines and no rape, they never go that deep into it, even the ones which do show murder etc
It's best to just ignore it.
These people love reading with their eyes closed as-is.
Hey stfu. It’s a fiction. It’s written by someone else form their imagination of what media depiction of mafia could be like. It’s someone else’s imaginary story. Even imaginary story only ever pick pieces in reality that the one imagining it want. So not it’s not that it’s should be realistic or whatever bs you pretend the op is saying.This story is written by the author the way the author intends it. The author can pick a chose whatever the hel they want. And the story isn’t even problematic cuz there’s no way you go read a r-rated story and think any of this is “realistic”.
The fact that people get angry that someone wrote this story the way it is is stupid. The irony is that these people chose to read a story that has mafia theme and also simultaneously have the expect it to not have risky themes. And being undeniable weak babies, they whine about it. It’s not about how realistic the story is. It’s about people not able to fucking jsut fuck off if they don’t like it. Fiction depicts certain realities. It is not a bibliography. No one thinks it is.
Ye... while the 'stfu' feels uncalled for, the person is making it difficult on purpose atp. When talking about realism, it is never "all or nothing". If one writes mafia or other risky themes, it is expected either more serious things or the mafious dude being yellow-to-black flag... while yeah, I get what they said about there being plenty of wholesome mafia mangas, I also agree with you that it shouldn't be a surprise if a manga that has a risky thematic shows gross content (blood, rape, death, etc)
I do think there should be more content warnings before we start reading a manga tho, just in case and because transparency is lovely
honestly i dont even think they read at all lmfao,,, all these people miss so many points just to feel right about something that they'll forget the next hour for another moral jerk off
can you actually follow your own logic to shit. if rape in fiction affects you irl then why are you here trying to glaze the mafia who do horrible shit irl too but suddenly it's okay bc there's "wholesome mafia stories which arent realistic" just like the unrealistic rape stories you hate so much.
what is wrong with you
people have the right to complain about r4pe
Just cuz it has mafia, it automatically doesn’t make the r4pe okay
BL community has some serious issues when it comes to defending r4pe and abuse
I mean if they are okay with it then it's a problem not the other way around ?
loving how supportive most people around them are though :')
they've both turned out so non-jaded, humble and loving due to the love poured towards them.
and it'd be understandable too if they had a huge crashout due to their problems up until now if any of that love was never there to support them
i wonder if the only time he encouraged a dream without any warnings was when the worse of the worst came and the student was never prepared for it nor knew how to deal with it.
we see so many of the students who struggled think back on sensei and what he tried to warn them about the job they wanted, he has already told them the worse outcome so they will be able to prepare for it.
it's not dream crushing but instead a warning of a challenge. something that they may have to face no matter how sudden or unfortunate with the path they want to go down on.
i can understand why she's with her mum now but only 2 days of visitation per month is criminally low, especially when he was and has proven to be able to love her and care for her when the wife just selfishly left (also lowkey blaming the kid on her decision to abandon her just because she chose to stay with her dad)
i've always been curious about this series ever since i saw the picrew promoting it
