Does it get better past the first few chapters? I’m curious about this one but I’m finding the dialogue to be a bit off/awkward/cringe.
It is kinda interesting to watch actually. I was bored at first but it's decent to binged watch actually
Did you read the official translation?
MC is a famous chef, he’s strict with his coworkers/subordinates. ML is part of an idol group. Coloured.
My memory of it is very poor. My mind is probably making a lot of this up but I really think it exists! This is a recollection of what I believe the END of the BL looked like.
I believe it is coloured. If so, warm lighting/tones. I imagine the art being more stylised. Think ‘Sign’
Last/Last few chapters end with the main couple moving in together. MC focuses on university. ML focuses on career…?
Not sure if yaoi or shounen ai, leaning toward yaoi I feel like there might’ve been a “just got out of the shower and there’s a towel wrapped around my waist scene, let’s fuck” scene. Or just a “I love you so much, fuck?” (I know, really narrows things down…)
I recall nothing of either character besides them both being guys.
Hair color? Appareance?
The place they move into seems to be an apartment in the city…? I feel like it looked pretty traditional though. ML may or may not be rich.
I was trying to think about the characters’ names and initially thought Korean but I think they might actually be Japanese…??? I still can’t picture it as anything but coloured…
As for looks, again no clue, MC blonde/brunette? ML black hair. Both pale skin. Idk, that’s the vibes I’m getting…
Update, I found it. Do not question my memory.

Is it so hard to write a female character that is not fan-service, a nuisance, or completely 2-dimensional???
14 chapters in we’ve been introduced to 4 female characters. 3 seem to have romantic potential/interest (3RI for short) with MC (all one-sided). And the other, the only one I like so far, is the one who’s least involved with the MC and acts as more of a background character - The influencer/chicken girl.
Visually, they look different enough minus their body types because of course the potential FL must have D-cups or higher and an hourglass figure (sarcastic).
Personality? All of them are clumsy with one additional trait, that’s about it.
Maybe their initial impression of MC differs, but after 1 chapter they’re blushing at the sight of him. Are we not going to talk about how all three of them literally cried for their mommy at the face of danger??? IT’S THE SAME COPY & PASTE SCENARIO. It was funny the first time, now it just feels misogynistic considering the one guy who needed saving didn’t have the same reaction.
It’s a shame because this has potential. It is actually funny and the plot is refreshing, the art is nice too.
Can we PLEASE just write women properly??
