The worlds of a boy trying to find his heroine and a boy trying to find his identity collide.
Boy Meets Maria is a masterful exploration of gender identity and how it's shaped by past experiences and trauma
TW (heavy, PLEASE proceed with caution if you are uncomfortable with any of these) :
Rape (of a minor) [chapter 4], child exploitation, gender identity coercion, gender dysphoria, attempted SA/rape [resolved almost immediately with proper treatment to such a heavy topic. My point is, I urge you not to drop this manga because of this as it this scene is very well written.]
I feel like everyone needs to read this once in their life.
When I heard the news of the passing of the mangaka I was devastated. Rest in peace, Peyo-sensei. May your work be remembered and cherished by many <3
happy bday to one of my fav arsonists (other is yh <3) and absolute menace QIN JIUUUU (づ￣ ³￣)づ
qin jiu manspreading like the alpha male tiger he is
translator ur so funny pls never go bald
GUYS WE ARE ONE CHAPTER AWAY FROM *THAT* LINE *wink* *wink* IM SO HDGFHDGJEGJW
i'm vibrating w so much excitement over how the artist will draw qj's expression as he says it and yh's "..."
ntm 1006 eavesdropping TT (if it's the line i think it is!!!!)
i'm getting so ahead of myself bc now i'm excited for the manhua chap when qj introduces himself to the children in the maths exam
SAMEE!!! im so giddy cause we're getting to all the GOOD parts
poor 1006 he's gonna be third wheeling a LOT these couple of chapters lol
PLUSSS the "which ___ is changing?" (you fill in the blanks hehe) line KFJEKWDJEWEJW
youre not the only one im also very excited for that scene!! (qj has so many great 1 liners lol) and like arc 5 in general!! (def not cause there'll be so much PDA) and i wanna see what the children look likee
Share your wiseness with me. What line?
wi-
qqgk is so fucking good my GOD!!!!!!@!!!!! every time i remember a specific scene in the novel i??combust almost. im trying to read novels and manhwas w a similar dynamic like jiuhuo but nothing compares. it doesn't exist ue ue.
i love when they start blatantly flirting. they genuinely don't care to keep it a secret it's so nice to read and it'll be so nice to seeeeee. i can't wait to see qj and yh annoy the fuck outta those creepy kids tbh TT
i would love to girlie, but if i tell you now it wont hit as hard, read the novel and find out ;)
idt ill be able to find smth as good as qqgk anytime soon like nothing else is doing it for me the same nothing else will do
YESSSS, like they dgaf and the onlookers are choking on their saliva loll
we craveee PDA
same!! all those "..." drawn into expressions will be so fun to see
i wish to read all those kinda lines for the first time again :( smy enjoy ittt
i felt this way about tgcf tbh but then i found qqgk and now both hualian and jiuhuo are unrivalled. the only way to read something like them is to reread them TT
anytime i think i've found something similar the author fucks it up so bad
confident gays are my fav!! qin jiu calling you huo by petnames is so so sweet the chapters in the manhua can't come soon enough but that's like 50 chaps away.. 100..
bro said .-. ._. -.-
same... system-kun wipe my memories... (actually dont)
ahh hualian hualian my glorious kings... tgcf was my first danmei and i was SO obsessed w them in 2023, they always have a special place in my heart
hualian and jiuhuo are the Holy Danmei duo lowk
cosigned cause that was some real shit u said... im currently reading Mist by Wei Feng Ji Xu hoping itll make me feel smth like that again...
SAMEE!! ive been trying to list down all the petnames he calls him but there are so many damn
whenever he calls him a petname i turn into mush...
NOOO 100 chapters means 100 months are you serious i will wither away by then
at this rate when will we reach inhtsyimhtly and the earring
i thought that actually said smth in morse code and i spent 2 mins trying to translate T_T
actually do but only for me (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
800 years vs falling in love 3 times? i'll take both!!!1!!!! it was my first as well. it's truly special. i've been watching the engsub of the audio drama and want to do the same for qqgk but it's super hard to find TT
how is mist? it's on my tbr but the reviews said it doesn't focus that much on the main couple (which is fine for me tbh but rn im looking for a novel that balances the plot and main duo kinda like umm qqgk..)
he loves his boyfie and i understnad bc i love him too. the first time he called him dear i was like o_o did i read that properly? lack of petnames in danmei is a crime!!! qj needs to be open with his affection and i thank him (and musuli) for that.
but there's more than 1 chapter update a month. i mean if we're lucky there's 2 so only.. 50 months.. :)))
what does inhtsyimhtly mean TT is it a code or keyboard smash? if it's a code let me decipher *investigator emoji*[mgg..]
i change my mind for me too ヾ(☆▽☆) #starvingforqqgkagain
BOTH IT IS!! both are #yearning and i LIVE for thattt
truee i found link audio drama but it was under paywall, and that was in the og in chinese... i could only find eng tl for certain episodes on tumblr QAQ
mist is good!! im a quarter way thru it has qqgk vibes but make it more futuristic and add time travel!! also both characters are badass and it starts out kinda like #enemiestolovers which i devour on a silver platter every damn time
altho it doesnt come on par w qqgk and thats prolly im way too obsessed w qqgk rn (and yeah it's more plot driven so the main couple doesnt have as many scenes as in qqgk yet but i like their chemistry ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~) but overall it's a rlly good and unique story and u can check it out!!
YESS and he is such a romantic abt it and i love them so i get themmm
reall gosh i wanna be in a relationship... with their relationship
so true, even them saying 'i love you' is rare. it either happens only one and/or is said by only one party.. the thing is you can tell they love each other to death and beyond, they just arent that vocal about it and i wish they would be more like yes tell e/o how much you love e/o!! Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
YESSS!! qj is one of the mls who shows it more outwardly and i love him and musuli for that
oh wait yeah.. so 50 months... a little above 4 years... holding out hopee, may updates be more frequent too
damn thisll be a journey tho, one i look forward to :D
it's one of qj's one-liners hehe.. ill leave you to decipher it then ;)
[hint: it's right when mirror human arc ends]
i love yearners. i just got to the part in the novel 'im not here to save u im here to love u' BRO!!!!!!!
have u finished mist? i love kinda enemies to lovers. not entirely an enemy to entirely a lover is so good. makes me think of jiuhuo :(
u want to.. sit in the cuck chair...
i've been teary eyed rereading the novel bc of how much they love eo. like u said they rarely say it but it's so obvious TT /they/ are so obvious it's funny reading everyone else's reaction around them. the mirror human arc in the confinement room they are being monitored and ig it makes sense that after the confinement period ends all the invigilators exit the monitoring room but what if one stayed behind and saw them kiss... or does the monitoring screens automatically go off when the confinement period is officially over? hmmmm..
4 years is insane to think about. but im just glad there are steady updates. unlike im other obsession (tgcf) that updates every few months [if that..]</3
bro tellll meee. i looked through the end of the arc and found 'my dear if I left myself by your ear would you be able to hear me?' and now i need a moment TT TT
i yearn for yearnerssss
giggling cause the part u got to... that's it. that was the code. 'I'm Not Here To Save You, I'm Here To Love You' inhtsyimhtly (just realised i added the im of the second "I'm" completely )
BUT GOSH THAT IS ONE MY FAV SCENES AHHHH (and the scene that comes right after *wink* *wink*)
at the end chapters and DAMN im mind blown like literally my puny brain cannot handle allat
it's a... beautiful story
YESSSS!! like "they were supposed to be rivals, everyone think they're rivals.. but secretly..." like that's so jiuhuo coded
the dynamic of the couple in mist is a lilllll different it's like this
> ml is a homophobic prick -_-
> *sees badass mc*
> *that one lego meme*
> "join my squad!!"
srry i shouldve clarified it's enemies to lovers in the way ml didnt like him at first
the way they find comfort in e/o is extremely jiuhuo coded tho
... dont dont word it like that
NO CAUSE SAME JIUHUO MAKES ME BELIEVE IN TRUE LOVE!!
jiuhuo is
"they match e/o's freak in a way that makes everyone else around them uncomfortable" and i see it hhh
no cause have u SEEN the way they look at e/o? and u still think they're sworn enemies like is the sworn enemies in the room with us?
stawp i headcanon that invigilator F saw them and choked on his saliva
and it's entirely possible like gao qi saw them in the open field
almost as long as jiuhuo had to wait for e/o... *gets emotional* i- *clears throat*
samee the update is the only thing i look forward to every month
i had this dream once that tgcf had 800+ chapters and when it felt so real that when i woke up and saw the number i was like HUHHHHH
(may the danmei gods bless us with tgcf updates too </3 STARember's art is literally celestial...)
wow that's so long
never enough to talk about qqgk </3
NEW CHAPTER DROPPED ON BILIBILLI OMG
BECAUSE OF US!!!!!
yesss we are so peak twin <3
whoever uploaded the raws btw I LOVE YOU
jiuhuo i miss u again...
