because it's full of insecurity lmao the poor guy is not ok. Jk i love how cute they are together but give it a year and the ultra clingy powder-keg bf aesthetic gets old real fast. I'll just imagine that blondie gets over it and eventually feels secure in their relationship cuz that's a happier ending that they deserve (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Honestly I had a very low opinion of this manga the first time I read it. It was weird that Yamamoto just went and opened the gates to a rando he just met regardless if he's a country bumpkin or not. But then the more I read the more ridiculous the characters and the story got. But the silly stupid humor actually adds charm to this wacky piece and it just grows on you. Little things like how Yamamoto calls Kobayashi "Anakonbayashi" and Kobayashi never failing to protest that he is not a snake. Or how Kobayashi can tell Yamamoto's temperature by touch, or how yamamoto suns his bumhole to lift his mood. It's so wacky and so out there and yet the characters are so blase about everything. It's stupid humor and I ate it all up.
I honestly don't think I've read many yaoi manga that's quite like this one.
The best part is that the romance between the two actually hits. I loved watching the pure-hearted goober Yamamoto slowly come to terms with his feelings for Kobayashi. When he got so invested in finding a "beauty with long-black hair" for Kobayashi it's hilarious but also heart-rending. He thinks he's doing what's right for the snake man but we all can see that all he's doing is subconsciously trying to bury the feelings he doesn't want to acknowledge. Little did he know, Solid Snake was already out to get his heart (and his ahh).
On their way home from drinking while being carried on Kobayashi's back, the drunk Yamamoto asks Kobayashi if he got the beautiful black-haired girl's phone number. Without missing a beat, Kobayashi replies "no, why would I?" and just like that, a wave of relief washes over him. I just love how the romance was written because these moments are so unexpected in such a wacky ass manga.
Idk why I wrote this essay I really should put this energy to better use...
Look, I'm all for giving tragic characters some major ups and I'm all for sweet, caring male leads but holy hell this was not it. The whole "babying" thing that the seme is doing is kinda cringing me out ngl. Like honestly I feel like any normal person would be mortified if a man picked them up like a toddler and rubbed soothing circles on their back (-_-;) for a moment there I thought he'd start rocking the guy to sleep I just can't with that ish. I get it though, maybe 10 years ago I'd have melted over that but all I feel after seeing that now is pain in my gums.
Idk what u expected from a book that has men getting pregnant and pheromones
Lol point taken. I kept an eye on this one especially cause it had some dark and tragic undertones I really liked despite the omgverse but it seems the author neutralized that real quick with all the sugar
haha you are tooooooooooooo old for yaoi
maybe it's a d/s thing. like sub space or whateva
I get you. But I think the whole point is that euihyun never had a real/happy childhood. Was always having responsibility and having to be an adult and look after someone else robbed him off that. It makes sense that being comforted in the same way a child is would soothe his inner child as well as current him, feeling love and care that he never got when he was younger
Also he’s in great distress so probably didn’t even register that taeju was picking him up because of how much of a panic he was in
they’re mad at you for this take but you’re right
Idk about this one but it kinda felt like the author changed their mind midway lol like they started out wanting a mean dirty character for the seme but then abruptly kinda switched into an overly-attached caring one which to me wasn't executed very well because the switch was too sudden there wasn't much room given for characters development. It felt like the author kinda rushed in getting to the "good part" (ie the love bomb part).
I kinda liked the premise of this story and I'm a sucker for tragic family stories and "found family" fluff so I hope it gets better.
I initially felt that way too. For awhile I was too sad for Yun and it made me cry forreal. I didn't want to reread the story at the start because it was just too much.
Eventually I did reread it and I think I was just really overwhelmed by how much initial impact the story had on me.
I noticed a lot more afterwards
Don't you just hate it when you're just minding your own business and suddenly you're the leader of the gang?
This author's work and this manga in particular have such a chaotic energy that lifts my mood everytime I read. Their ukes are also typically very cute I really like this mangaka.
All I'm saying is if I saw a dude shoving my little doll figurine up another man's uranus, bro congratulations it's your doll now
Although this kinda disappointed me with its climax and ending, it did a great job in building a truly unsettling atmosphere that keeps you on edge... at least until the stalker revealed himself and changes the tone abruptly. I wish there were more dark stalking-themed manga out there but besides a few prominent but gory ones, I can't seem to find any more that really delivers on the creepy factor and the slowly building terror.
