Is there ANYWHERE with the rest of this? I own the English and Japanese physical copies of the entire series, but I don't know Japanese so translating has been rough. This is my favorite manga and I'm devastated viz media dropped their translation just 5 volumes away from completion.
I'm not going to give my opinion about the story since it seems that a lot of people here just want to be hateful, but I do want to say that the art is making it very difficult for me to continue enjoying this story. It's not just that it's messier and feels rushed, but I don't feel any of the same emotion as I did before. Their surroundings, the angles; everything about each frame would set a tone and create a certain atmosphere. I feel like the artist has slowly lost that. The art is not bad, not even close, but I do feel like I'm watching someone lose passion for something they used to enjoy. That may just be me, though.
not alone, the older art did feel more powerful in a way but idk if its the mixed feeling with how I feel about the characters esp Emma (I'll stubbornly adore her but things arn't looking good rn) or how we're just feeling antsy now that we're in the final arc and expect more than the previous arcs but I'm also wondering if its an art burnout.
No idea what their actual routine is between the artist/writer but I'm curious if maybe Shirai might have been more in charge of looking at the drafts and trying to polish the juxtaposition to convey his story with Demizu's art but with the anime running, they must have been more busy with trying to watch over that too?
I'm only hoping thats the case :'(
Did the art change, or is it just me? These last few chapters, while still detailed and well drawn, look a bit messy and rushed compared to earlier chapters.
This will always hold a special place in my heart as my first yaoi (at 11 years old, yikes), so much so that I recently snagged the first 3 english volumes when I found them at a discount store.
But reading back now .......I still enjoy it, but I think it's nostalgia. It's just rape. So much rape. It's not hot or cute or romantic. It's disturbing. I can't root for them because Morinaga is an insufferable, obsessed rapist. Literally assaulting the person he "loves" in their sleep.
I miss the butterflies this gave me, but after more than a decade, I can't understand how this is supposed to be romantic. It'll always be special to me, but I'm glad there's better yaoi manga these days. Sort of.
P.s. don't give 11yr olds phones lol
I agree there was a lot of non con and Senpai being tsundere is not helping at all, it made it look like he wants it, to which I still think the latter half was him also wanting it and just being in denial. Now this types of concept are so common you only get to romanticise the middle to latest part of the story
