Honestly the atmosphere and expressions the seme makes esp at the beginning are creepy as hell and set the tone, there was no way they were ever gonna be a fully nontoxic green flag couple even if they are cute. idk if it’s twins or if he’s just obsessive but smthing is up. if it’s a nothingburger I’ll be disappointed atp
Does anyone know any other series where similar to now, the uke is the one pursuing the seme for at least a portion of the story? I like this trope but it’s kinda rare
Under the greenlight is kinda similar.. got similar flow to this
I haven’t read it yet so I’ll give it a shot, ty!
Yeah but its like back and forth, so its uke baiting seme, seme yearning, uke yearning.. I found it extremely good to read, I hope you feel the same way too
Some people are asking for spoilers, I’ve read up to around ch9 since that all that’s available translated. Without saying what specifically goes down, yes, uke is a red flag (personally I like it because it’s rare but it may not be for everyone). He’s not overtly cruel/violent but he’s manipulative and sees the seme as a pet to be trained. He also casually drugs him and touches him while he’s asleep.
uh, is it really the uke that drugs him or the other way around? lol
as what as i have seen there's a panel about the seme crawling to the uke's bed? but it's the other way around?
yes its the uke doing it lmaoo seme is very innocent
REALLY?!? NO WAY
link please?
U read it on the chrysanthemum garden website, just search “the taming”
omg im literally reading the first chapter on there rn i thought you were talking the manhwa not the novel
sorry I should have specified
thanks for telling me anyway!!
just want to take a moment to appreciate the character design and art it’s so appealing
Given the lack of an uploader listed next to the chapter its most likely being scraped by one of the sites uploader bots… ai uploading ai slop now hdjsjwka
but there’s still a human prompt this and wtf is wrong with them
Read the raw a while ago, it’s kinda obvious from the first chapter but this story isnt typical for the BL genre. It’s more like a human drama than anything. Every few chapters is a new situation for MC to navigate, most of the guys he gets with are trashy/messed up and so far at least there’s no love interest. I read it for the plot and comedy but there’s no romance, at least not yet.
Where do you read the raws?
I was curious on whether the author said anything about their dynamic, so I checked their pixiv and chapter 3 desc does say わがまま後輩くん (senior x junior), so the junior is actually intended to be the uke! I got that vibe but some people thought it was the other way around since aggressive ukes are kinda rare these days lol
sorry I copied and pasted the wrong text by accident, this is what it says: ※先輩x後輩で
I really wanted the older one to be the bottom not because the kouhai was agressive, I just really like that type of bottom. Especially if the top is not that traditional in looks ╥﹏╥
This premise is confusing me lol. Aren’t dogs carnivorous? It’s not like they eat vegetables. Why is everyone acting like he’s so different from the other carnivores? He’s clearly not an herbivore…
Dogs are omnivores, bc they can eat meat and veggies and still be healthy
dogs (domesticated canines) eat a mixed diet of veggies, fruits, grains and meats (similarly to humans) whereas many other canidae catch their prey and eat them. dogs aren't strictly carnivorous...another user commented that foxes are also omnivorous, but that is in the sense that they can also survive off plants, but their main food component consists of meat...with dogs its better for them to have a well rounded diet consisting of the aforementioned foods. lots of dog breeds cant survive just off of raw meats (SORRY FOR THE YAPPING)
Oh I didn’t know that actually… ty for the detailed explanation!
Oh… I knew they could have some vegetables but I thought their diets were normally all meat that makes more sense
ofc!! most ppl r under the impression that dogs are carnivores but its also really depends on the breed
I’ve seen people wondering this. It gets revealed later in the novel
[Spoilers for the novel beyond what has been translated online]
I read a machine translated version of the kr novel. Eventually, we get to read about all the events so far from the perspective of jigu. Jigu actually starts suspecting yeonwoo of being neutaa when they were voice chatting and he overheard the announcement in the apartment about his mom’s car blocking. He recognized the license number and realized they were in the same apartment. Then he concluded it was yeonwoo from process of elimination.
He sent the random message to see if he gets a notification to confirm his suspicion.
I’ve seen people think that he started suspecting after neutaa changed his appearance to look like him, but jigu didn’t even realize the similarities until neutaa said it himself lol
He logged out back then because he was startled by the announcement, not the clothes change!
Wait so has he already heard the announcement by chap 36 or is this in the future. I'll have to go back and find it bc I don't remember
didnt he start suspecting him when he said something about the madelines he gave him
true, that made him surprised but iirc he mainly thought of it as a coincidence
Can u pls give me a link of machine translated kr novel version??? ┗( T﹏T )┛
The announcement happens multiple times bc it’s a habit of his mom. But this instance of the announcement was actually during the events chapter 33- but it’s not shown in the comic because neutaa himself didn’t notice it. But it was overheard by jigu and that’s why he left the voice chat and logged out suddenly.
You can download it in book format here

Thank uuu (≧∀≦)
This isn’t meant as hate to the author or story, but as a warning to people who may be expecting things from the yaoi tag.
I’m sorry guys, I was a believer like you. There’s nothing platonic about how they act together, it wouldn’t surprise me if the author ships them, but there won’t be anything too explicit. This author has written original bl works but they have never labeled this story as bl, it runs in a general audiences seinen magazine (that doesn’t mean it can’t be gay or have themes but there’s basically zero chance of explicit intimacy). The authors always replies to people on their twitter who ask if it’s BL or has BL elements by saying that it’s not in the BL genre.
This story is still fire and worth a read btw, and there are arguably queer themes, it’s just not a BL, as defined by the author. There are a lot of manga that focus on gay men or homosexuality that aren’t BL so don’t let that stop you. But if you were reading in hopes of seeing those two smash at some point you gotta reevaluate your expectations.
