the hand lettering and typesetting on this made learning this awesome series has no english license such a jumpscare. anyway thank you dl scans for my life, you should be really proud of your work
thank you, that's really kind of you to say. i have a lot of fun working on this manga, so i hope you'll keep enjoying ^^
oh yay im glad!! i will keep enjoying, thank you thank you hehe
looooved this. perfect read for anyone who enjoyed blue flag, huge CW for CSA. i also really admired the minutiae of how gender relates to sexuality, but god this is one of the saddest deaths of a woman in manga. kirino im so sorry, it will never be too late for shangri-la, i promise
Sorry I'm so confused who died
cause kirino is a trans girl who ended up acting as someone else for the rest of her life. she in a way killed herself by choosing to live as someone shes not.
Wait they're trans? I thought they were crossdressers (･o･;)
Yap alert I just got excited: a lot of what kirino says seems like theyre dealing with gender dysphoria. Mishima I'm not so sure about. I would guess they're gender fluid because it seems like theyre okay with being a man sometimes and other times wish they were a woman. I think that's part of the reason (outside of external differences in acceptance) kirino decided to kill that part of herself, the change she needed to do was much more than Mishima. Kirino never went to "shangri-la" in thailand which a lot of trans women escape to from less accepting countries because thailand has a large and loud community there and she never physically transitioned outside of using the lipstick. For a lot of trans people puberty can force the idea onto them that they'll never be able to truly look how they feel on the inside. You see this with kirinos comments about her own body and jealousy of mishimas body. Of course this is all my interpretation and readers are allowed to interpret media differently I just saw enough signs that I think kirino was meant to be a girl. I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS BOOK OMG
Oh i get it now tysm
asumiko nakamura could never. theres a lot to be said about pedophilic teachers in yaoi and how different authors handle child abuse in a medium that is stereotypically wish-fulfillment or fetish material, but this is one of those sequels that seems to be living up to just how monstrous yamagida was always potrayed as. Nagai's use of texture portrays arrested development and stolen youth in a childish and scary way that i really enjoy. My biggest hope is that yamagida does not end the story living with nagisa, there should be a second crash where he realizes he shouldnt be present in his life. Though knowing the kinds of emotions comic authors have about their characters and the way yamagida gets drawn softer as the story progresses, I worry the author only sees his happiness coming from "saving" nagisa. Not sure how I would feel about that ending, both characters deserve happiness but I don't think they can or should provide that for each other. glued to my seat, could navel-gaze forever about this manga.
great review
very good actually. no more high schoolers with 30 somethings i wanna know if the 24 year old wants to be the 25 year olds little guy
1-3 years age gap is so chic
we're cousins, we're allegories for what we both missed from our childhoods, we're too alike to admit we want what the other has, etc etc... its so not that deep but to me it is
I'm trying so hard to figure out what you mean, maybe because of lack of punctuation or bc I'm potentially autistic, but yeah type shit
totally ok i just started fujo-ing abt how this manhwas couple is so aware of one year between them that they act familial in ways they probably both didnt get with real family (like omgggg ML ur my cute little brother, call me hyung and do Not pay attention to how much i hated being a little brother with an overbearing big brother), good shit. i also dont know what tf im saying most of the time either so autism warriors rise up
Ohhh okayy that makes sense now, yeah good observation
