Ml is genuinely such an unlikeable character it's the first time I'm actually seeing a real life man (slur) being portrayed fictionally as one of the main characters and can't say I'm enjoying it very much. All he thinks about is fucking hwanmae and it's very clear his intentions are murky mix of lust and domination, with a preference for the latter. God he thinks like an incel, I personally dislike "immature" characters like hwanmae as well but he's a walk in the park compared to gwanchang.
And why are the roles so confusing?? By principle, the character first introduced is the main character yet we have 2x more of gwanchang's thought bubbles in display than hwanmae's. Honestly, I'm still here bc of storyline potential, i wish they'll focus more on the dark political aspect sooner
Ah fuck I've already caught up started from chp 91, 142 chps in one sitting. This manga is criminally short, bc back in my days you'd need a day or two to get through 100+ chps
Regardless, my opinion of the manga is very high. It's at least 5x better and more immersive than the anime. I genuinely felt a ton of emotions while reading this, whereas the anime came off cringey and cliche for some reason man the momojikawa/sakura backstory reveal arc broke me, umemiya's was really sad as well. I really wanna give all of these kids a big hug, I love tsubaki chan for hugging sakura in my place she's definitely one of my favourite characters from this series, ahh my shaylasss
Idk if this is an unpopular opinion but, I find Hiragi way more charismatic than Umemiya lol. I feel like his words, deeds and overall character carry so much weight, the degree of impact he has on his peers and juniors seems to go somewhat weirdly overlooked. Umemiya, to me, just comes across as a friendly, overzealous dork with a lofty goal who's really good at fighting and happens to be charismatic enough to inspire the people around him However as a reader, you can see how Hiragi's influence is the one that actually extends beyond his own actions and interactions. His beliefs and values seem to naturally find their way into the people around him, who then pass them on to others (eg: Kaji giving Sakura advice on the rooftop like Hiragi once did for him), his influence becomes embedded in the way these characters think and treat one another, whereas imo the admiration directed towards Umemiya feels like superficial glaze in comparison. Idk if this is intentional on the author's part, but it's something I've noticed
That said, I don't think Hiragi should be the leader instead of Umemiya. Ume chan is ultimately bofurin's leader and I can't see anyone else in his role unironically, I feel Hiragi shines so much precisely because he's the right hand man. Honestly, I think y'all have understood by now that Hiragi is easily one of my favourite characters, probably right below Sakura. You wouldn't expect such a gruff looking guy with shark teeth to be so grounded, mature and responsible... those qualities are what perfectly makes him so compelling and endearing to me
It's been 14 months, 61 weeks and 429 days since the last update. Atp I'm inclined to believe that the previous translator has decided to dropthis manhwa. I won't be an ingrate so I thank the previous translators for all of their hard work, so now we can only hope that another kind soul will pick this up or maybe we'll get an official serialisation in the future (it's been 10 years so I doubt this will happen but never say never^^)
Honestly, let's just say that Mongryeong and Shiyeon realise their innate, natural sexual tension, chemistry and underlying feelings for each other at the end, and live happily forever after as two rich gay smartass bfs #deluluisthesolulu
Alright something is very fishy here, the summary reeks of incest/pseudo incest and we see two characters who are quite possibly brothers fucking in the 1st chp itself. With the addition of Horace, it's obvious that it's either gonna be a fucked up love triangle or a fucked up poly and nothing in between
This manhwa probably has the biggest let down sex scenes of all time, not a single moment in the barely 3 (give or take) times they've had sex was any point enjoyable to read. The previous chp was holy fuck, heaven sent peak as hell, this one was ASININE. Not even a bidet can save this dried shit on the buttcrack bro. Enzo will never grow on me as long as he keep his black flag shenanigans going, I mean props to him for being consistent but at least give the bare minimum and treat your partner better ffs. I know he can, he fessed this up multiple times.
Idek why I always put so much of hope when reading this manhwa, when ik I'm just gonna be let down once again. Toxic ex syndrome is real guys but it's haunting my reading experience instead bc of my non existent love life
"even if there were 3 billion women in my bed, my heart wouldn't be beating as hard" pack it up bro
He looks the exact opposite of how I imagined him to be but I can't say I'm not pleasantly surprised!! I love how he looks, bottoms with buzzcuts are underrated AF
Ngl, a long-dark haired bottom with a black cat personality would be too cliche. I love it when authors break the stereotypes
A 10 day wait and inhaled in 5 secs, you're literally killing me here not that I'm complaining but weekly chapters of other series are longer than this
