After so many years of being a mangaka (20+), it’s incredible to me how bad the author’s drawing skills still are. (I would be way more sympathetic about that, if the author hadn’t messed with the characters faces, made them all look overly similar, with rounded chins that give off young teen pedo-vibes and then called it their new style)
For example, in this most recent chapter right after Ritsu blows Takao, Ritsu asks Takano if he liked it. In that panel, where Ritsu asks that question – take a look at Takano. Specifically look at the location of the collarbone and neck. Then ask yourself-
Did the author use the storyboard image here? Or did they accidentally grab a portion of the image in a digital format and drag it to a location it didn’t belong?
Because I can’t come up with any other explanation for why the shoulders end where they do (above the neck), why the neck is attached where it is (why is it sprouting from Takano’s chest?), and why the collar bone is randomly in that location (anatomy books often come with picture references- someone should inform our author about this fact.)
The anatomy was always poor, but at least it had some charm before. It has become way worse in the newer chapters…especially pages 46-47 on the newest chapter (39) made me laugh, it’s so bad
Things not to ask when someone just defeated the final boss- 1) is it dead? 2) it’s really dead, right? 3) you sure it’s dead?
—- or any other question related to how dead the monster is.
Now, similarly, the chapter ends, and the guy that some of us wish would stop “having his existential crisis at the price of everyone else’s lives and happiness” seems to have dropped dead.
I don’t care if you didn’t ask it as a question do not make statements, commentary, or any other type of verbal iteration related to how dead the thing is, that we want to stay dead.
I mean, I get that he was a multidimensional character and all, but I just think that loving someone to the point that you would betray everything that person was willing to live and die for- isn’t loving them at all.
I was trying to remember the name of this one series where the guy comes home after a long time because his father died. His brother is really weird about it. The brother mentions that he shot the horse recently. Then you find out that the dad used to molest the son, and had the horse rape the son. The brother is really into his bro and was jealous of the dad, so he murdered the dad and the horse- all so we could f*ck his brother himself- by using the funeral as a way to lure his brother home.
Anybody read that one and maybe remember the name? Cause I just can’t find it. Instead, I re-found this one, while looking for that one.
Nevermind- I found it (Cause I kept looking for it
Sounds similar to a cruel god reigns but not exactly. What’s it called?
Drop the name pleasee
So- ch 59 and such is in- Korean… why? Don’t raws have a separate upload section?
Unfortunately, the site remove the raw section option to separate, I added the raw title. I'm gonna remove it as soon as English translation is up. Someone just requested to upload the raws. You can ignore them if u don't wanna read it.
thanks for the raws!
So that section is also gone… bummer. Can’t complain too much though. At least we still have our site.
Thanks for the raws- (When you press the “next arrow” from inside the story, raws doesn’t show on the chapter title. It just shows the number. That’s why I didn’t realize. Sorry.)
You're welcome and it's alright!
So… he’s been poisoned for his entire life but, since he’s “out of the abo closet,” the power of love has simply POOFed that poison into oblivion- and we all should accept this happily, without questions, and especially if a healthy baby shows up later, without any birth defects or risk to hood life, am I right?
What chap did ML find out he was an omega?
I guess right before season 1 ended
I mean, think about it guys- The argument provided by the story, that mating with an alpha flushes toxins out of an omega’s body… is basically saying that all omegas have poison immunity as long as they have an alpha to f***
Sounds like a horny super power.
If you think about realism then ABO and pheromones (even more controled pheromones) shouldn't exist, lol.
But still, I guess in medical reality the poison would attach itself to hormones circulating in the blood making them useless, but mating would make the body produce so much new poison-free hormones that it would cure the person ╮(￣▽￣)╭
From this author- Are we doing another belly button style, might as will be its own season, side story epilogue?
Belly button style?
This one has a bit of a long explanation- So you see, this series is actually based off of a prequel series called “love is an illusion,” which in turn is from a series called “if you hate me so.” The main characters from “love is an illusion” are originally side characters in “if you hate me so”.
The author posted a comment in his creator’s notes (ch 18.5- i think…) of the series “if you hate me so” that says the following: Actually, I’m planning to draw another extra. Yes, the belly button is bigger than the stomach.
There’s a translator note to the side that comment stating: Fargo used this idiom here meaning,”Doing more extras compared to the main story.”
You’re welcome
It’s a frequent topic that BL authors add rape so often. So I’m just curious if there’s some kind of psychological phenomenon that causes this to keep occurring. Is this similar to how young children who are molested will sometimes turn to animal abuse? Is there some particular negative experience where, whenever “a person who’s been subjected to that negative experience” becomes an BL author, they will act out by projecting sexual violence onto their characters?
(Hoping this isn’t tmi - because it’s relevant) I enjoy BL because I’m someone who grew up with negative sexual situations in my personal life. I feel emotionally unsafe reading stories that involve sex between men and women. And yet I know sex is something beautiful that enables two people to come together and share their feelings and emotions in a physical way. It somehow doesn’t bother me so much when the characters are both male. I can’t handle yuri though. There’s just too much overlap with me who is female. I need to not see women … being subjected to sex- because my mind will automatically see it that way.
Is it potentially something like this for the BL authors? Do a whole lot of women become BL authors because they can’t do normal hetero authorship? And do they potentially act out their frustrations through their characters? Are they otherwise, just all creepy and insane? Cause what the heck with all the rape?
Because I feel like I don’t see rape appear in hetero or yuri as often as it shows up in BL. Also, when it shows up in hetero, it’s almost always one of the following scenarios: 1- some kind of tentacle rape with nonhumans(the woman will be loving it- oh no, I have to escape, but why do I feel sooo- kind of nonsense) 2- consentual rape, as in BDSM role play 3- it’s an actual plot point where someone wants revenge because rape happened 4- really niche genres where it’s brutal and disgusting and obviously the author needs therapy and so do the readers(never anything popular- also rare and fortunately very hard to come by.)
Yet it’s so common with BL…
And the rapist is usually a love interest in BL. Makes me wonder if cognitive dissonance is at play. Example: Common thoughts of long term sexual abuse victims- rape is bad. Someone who raped me was a person I loved. I still love them. They are bad. They were worth loving when they weren’t doing THAT. I felt protected and cared for outside of those events. They were the only one on my side. They cared. No one else cared. They were kind but bad. I felt loved but it was abuse. They cared but we’re doing something bad to me. Rape is bad… they were good and also bad?
So I just wonder if the authors who are writing rape into everything are trying to force a situation where rape can occur with love simultaneously. Like, maybe their subconscious mind is trying to normalize something they haven’t come to terms with yet. Dunno. But I can’t imagine the frequency of the situation is purely coincidental.
PS- I also wonder if because it’s something authors would never be able to talk about openly, and so when they see other authors doing this they think, oh it really is normal. This is fine. Or something similar.
I’m pretty sure it’s just so the authors can bring in the rape fetish readers(tho I dunno why any of those would be reading a story that 100 chapters without even a mention of sex) and it’s sadly taken a lot less seriously when it’s men being assaulted because men attacking women and violence against women because of patriarchy is generally talked about more often it also doesn’t help that it’s become so normalized in the bl space
You see, I’ve considered this angle, but based on 2 things, it feels unlikely for that to be the cause.
1- the comment sections, not just here, but all over the Internet. I’m pretty sure authors lose more readers than gain by doing this.
2- If it was such an excellent marketing tactic, wouldn’t we see it everywhere? It doesn’t make sense that we’re not seeing more human rapists who are also love interests in hetero genres. The frequency of rape, being inserted into romance settings, in BL exceeds what you see in other genres.
Also, the part where the majority of readers and authors for BL are female. Is this to suggest men aren’t as attracted to rape as women?
I should’ve put this all in one post. I’m not trying to ignore what you said, I just think that you’re forgetting that women can also rape men. And I don’t see that happening in hetero series.
Just what is appealing about rape?? It's so disgusting
Exactly! Readers don’t like it. So for real, is it the authors?
I'm so sorry I down voted by accident. I completely agree with you they're definitely losing more readers by doing this shit. Why are they trying to romanticize something so horrible and traumatic. They even ruin the consensual sex scenes when the uke likes it but says stop stop ig that would mean it's not consensual anymore but when the seme asks the uke if he's likes it or not, the uke replies he does SO WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THE RAPE ROLEPLAY. The authors are clearly sick, love rape and probably have stockholm syndrome as well. Almost every story either has rape or has rape roleplay of some kind it's absolutely disgusting.
Do I like the pretty lady and fat cat making goo-goo eyes at each other, or does Gestella’s interest in Kaydon’s cat form give me weird vibes… or both.
Imma go with both.
It feels like a couple number one was almost more like a prologue before couple number two. Once couple number two began, it felt like couple number one turned into a side couple.
Dunno. But I feel like we’ve seen a lot more of couple number two’s interactions than we have of couple number one.
lol I prefer couple 2 so ngl I like it
ME TOOOOOOO
