Okay, so I want to ask a question before I start reading this manga - is there legit shounen-ai in it? I mean, I see a lot of manga tagged with shounen-ai despite being just BL subtext in the end. It always leaves me feeling disappointed. So, I guess I'm asking whether or not their relationship is ambiguous, or a couple for sure.
Whether it is or not, I will still read it, I just want to know what to expect so I won't be disappointed!
Shounen ai. but a couple.
very subtle. They love each other, that's what they said themself. Also There are a couple kissing scenes on early volume. But too bad they changed the magazine into shoujo magz, so you won't see that precious scene anymore TTTT
I'm a big fan of BL, as you can see my picture. But I have no regret reading it. It's tooooooooooooo good and toooooooo beautiful. The glasses man is an idiot but cutie, the handsome one is a possissive one. You.should.read.it!
Aaahh I want to reread it...(▰˘◡˘▰)
Don't tell me this is gonna take the "jealous route"? I just think jealousy is annoying in manga. I'm gonna be very disappointed if that's it, since I really love this manga.
well,jealousy is normal thing to feel (well,in this case they're still new in relationship.it's kinda fragile,blahblah). theres a time where jealousy is healthy in a relationship.as long as it's not develop into obsessive relationship and they can solve their problem of insecurities/trust problems.
at least we can see that narasaki is a normal human with feelings XD and he truly love terashima ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
Well, thing is, I don't see jealousy as something romantic, even if it's just mild. I just find it annoying. If they want to show the fragileness in a relationship as it can be in the beginning, I really wish they would show it in a different way than jealousy.
And Narasaki doesn't have to get jealous in order to prove his feelings. Jealousy is such a common and annoying way to do this.
i said its normal kinda humanly things to feel,it's not like i said it was romantic.(or maybe i said?idk,i don't think so XD)
annoying things happen.thats life.there'll be a way to solve the problem or maybe theres no way.
this is just manga.don't take it to hard.just read it or leave it.
Sorry that we don't see things the same way sorry that perhaps you'll very very disappointed in this book,and im not sorry to tell you this is gonna take "jealou route"
No, you didn't exactly say that, sorry if it sounded like I was accusing you. Maybe it was kind of random to say that.
Well yeah, it might be normal and stuff, but it's just such a common plot device in manga that I've grown kind of tired of it, you know? Like, if they want to create drama, can't they do it in a better and more creative way?
Tbh I kinda liked how Terashima was reacting to Narasaki having sex with a girl. He wasn't jealous, he thought it was hot, lol! I thought that was kind of refreshing (and kind of weird lol).
Well if this does take the jealous route, I hope the mangaka will handle it in a good way where Narasaki doesn't get all annoying by getting all jealous and insecure and assuming things on his own, but properly face his insecurities by talking to Terashima.
i think i made a mistake when i read your 1st post XD
i thought you don't understand jealousy as human nature in real life.
apparently u wrote that jealousy in manga is annoying XDD
it was my mistake, sorry..hahahah it's kinda embarrassing
btw, yeah i agree with you.jealousy trope in manga often makes the story feels like soap operas and yeah in the end people have to face their insecurities to overcome(?) or solve the jealousy-thing.communication is important in this matter i guess.
p.s same here,terashima's reaction kinda weird but refreshing and funny.
I do agree jealousy is not romantic, but I also think it's a human feeling that at some point everyone feels (althought some people are very jealous and other are almost not). I mean if you love someone, you can get a little jealous in certain circumstances, and not just towards your lover, you also can get jealous because of your father/mother or even your friends... It's an unpleasant feeling, selfish and often childish or related to insecurity, but it's a little irrational as an emotion. (Obviously it's different if your boyfriend openly flirts with otehr people or cheat).
Personally, I think in love stories a little jealousy can bring some drama and be fun to read, but I do dislike too possessive or obssessive characters who get jealous all the time and wants his lover to not have any friends or family.
In this case, I think it would be stupid if Narasaki is jealous because of that girl, I mean Natsuki doesn't even feel sexually attracted to women :/
I don't deny it being a human feeling most people have at some point. I know the feeling of being jealous myself.
Well, each to their own then. I don't like jealousy drama, since it's usually not done well, and even if it is it's still so irritating to watch/read. Although it kind of depends on the level of jealousy.
But it's just such a common plot device to create drama. I've grown so friggin' tired of it. I don't think this manga needs it. If anything it's gonna make its quality decrease, probably (I can't say yet since I haven't seen how the mangaka is going to deal with it).
You are right it's a very common and predictable plot, and that's boring.
Plus they do exist a lot of other problems that couples have that are almost never mentioned... like when one person is a workaholic, or when the parents of your boyfriend don't like you, or the routine make the relationship boring, or problems of communication when you are already officially dating, or when you strat leaving together and discover bad habits... i don't know
I've read a lot of bl manga with those kind of problems, they're pretty much common plot devices (for me)... In my opinion, it's not something that will go well with this couple, except for problems of communication when you are already officially dating, which I think is the problem with those two, they need to have serious conversation :/ .
Narasaki is getting jealous 'cause he's insecure, he doesn't know how Terashima will react. They still don't know each other well..
But I have to admit, i adore this manga and I like jealousy as plot device if it's well handled. That's why I'm also defending it ^^'''''
