why do they finally get better chemistry in the few chapters of the side story compared to the entirety of the main story
This look of disappointment when I realized I’m reading the side chapters
first things first both chapter 15s of the 4th volume gave me such whiplash helloooo so glad they put the tw for suicide n murder at the beginning cuz it would have fucked me all the way up hello like i thot it was just gna be a suicide but oh No she straight up murked her gf,,,,,,, like yeah there are some standout moments in this manga where the vibes were giving disturbing and unsettling but i didnt realize that they were gna go so far down that route at all in for these yuri, i guess you can call them... mini spin offs? mini stories? like whoa talk about #toxicyuri ! but also on the other hand its kinda amazing seeing how much range n versatility this manga has - the semi-anthology format really helps a lot in portraying versatility ig, altho for the chapter 15 story in particular i rly wished there was another particular callback to it in the continuing main storyline... like idk, an offshoot news report talking abt it in the background? cuz i rly am curious abt what the fallout wouldve looked like,,,, like did she end up getting arrested? did anything happen to the 3rd girl who saw the body? curious. curious.
ALSOOO i went back to the part where it seemed like amami found something weird/off in the drawing of those 3 girls that kokoro drew n showed to her cuz going through this story i remembered that amami had this reaction AND the framing of it then was rly GENUIS because amami's head was actually blocking the gf's body off... so only 3 girls of the original 4 girls were shown,,, and the other girl also had black hair and so im assuming that amami didnt actually see the gf's body and she just assumed that kokoro drew her drawing like that because the other black haired girl had her back turned towards them, and so she mustge thought kokoro imagined how that girl would've looked like she was facing towards them and sat next to the other 2 girls when rly kokoro was actually drawing the gf's ghost that amami wasnt able to see fjrndnejks. absolutely amazing little detail that tipped off to the audience that something is Off the first time around they read it only to then click and make sense once you read how chapter 15's mini yuri story unfolds.
anw i rly had a lot to say abt chapter 15 huh,,,, i guess it rly did throw me off my game cause imagine my surprise when the prev chapters dealing comphet, forced marriage, homophobic discrimination, etc. didnt get any warnings (i dont rmr that any of the prev chapters do,,, i have shit memory) and then BAM! i open up chapter 15.2 and get hit in the face with a list of tw that includes SUICIDE & MURDER in it lmfaooo. crazy.
anw god this was an experience im sososo glad i finally got around to reading yuri espoir all the recommendations talking abt how goated it is was RIGHT!
anw, my personal toxic trait is believing that it's gna be a threeway amami-kokoro-mitsuru endgame even tho there has been no signs of reciprocation from kokoro to mitsuru at all and mitsuru and amami's relationship still seem moreso in the territory of turbulent allies while mitsuru's romantic interest is still solely focused on kokoro, simply because they introduced the concept of polyamory earlier and also because they introduced mitsuru's parents' woke lavender marriage gay polycule set-up lol.
oh and also probs the fact that i DONT care abt the men's sob stories at all bro like amami was SPITTING when she said that just cuz mr fiancee got a sad backstory doesnt mean he gets to do whatever he wants n be dismissive of kokoro's wants & needs in the process. like when the art teacher had his gathering with the other fuckass men i couldnt gaf about i skipped the entire thing so like... Boy i sure hope the author didn't bury any essential and/or yurious info or plot beats relevant to kokoro & amami's main story in that section! anw like i rly dgaf abt them at all when the dude's face revealed happened i rolled my eyes cuz who gaf rly... instead i was cheering mitsuru on for unsettling him n giving him a warning like that's my #GOAT fr! so all this to say,,,, those f-words need to fuck off expeditiously so i can enjoy MORE of the yuri instead ! #freekokorotillitsbackwards
omg i so agree w u on the face reveal lik boi that was NOT necessary and we did not need to see ur ugly face
this is actually peak wtf ugaki my baby,,, also sennoji giving nb baddie. very yurious but even if this doesnt end up officially yuri still excited by where the story will go just from how the sexual harrasment went down and how ugaki's experiences was treated seriously & respectfully from the first chapter yup yup
if you were 12 years old or in arrested development im sure the writing of this goes hard for you.
not the writing thats making me hard
wow... toraji you are on my vip client list effective YESTERDAY.
truly has there ever been any other top that yearned the way he has? im positive if you replaced the definition of "devotion" with a picture of toraji in the dictionary it would still get the point across completely.
he yearned so hard he highkey ruined his own life for 7 long years and then when they were finally, COINCIDENTALLY, reunited he still continued yearning in close proximity ANYWAY because he's lowkey the most considerate person on the planet and fought to prioritize the wants & needs of his beloved and his beloved's important ppl & family above all else, even far beyond his OWN wants & needs? LIKEEEE way to make everybody else look like #fakedemons
anw the fact that he got so hung up on yaetatsu because he was the first person in toraji's life to affirm that his worth is not defined by his flaws... and that he is more than capable of letting gentleness define him over violence... and that he was the first one to treat him with tenderness while he was suffering from his mentor's abuse... oughhhhh JUST KILL ME NOW
and trust every fuckass misogynistic incels speaking on athena and sydney will die in 7 days and before that mangago will be struck down by kakao & kodansha and wipe out THEIR reading lists specifically #idgaf
im boutta to join somebody else's (jaeyoung n seungmin's) relationship... bitch scoot over, i love Ya'll
can they give my man toraji a damn BREAKKKKK LIKE ENOUGHHHH he's suffering from all the things. he is the biggest victim on the planet and is constantly going through every situation ever. he's like the most miserable sopping wet dog you've ever laid eyes on HAVE SOME COMPASSION FOR HIM PLEASE...
read ahead in the raws cause i couldnt help myself oh my fucking god bruh toraji is actually unironically the poorest little meow meow on earth like MY SHAYLAAAAA
let this be a lesson to NEVER. let an emotionally unavailable man walk into your life cause all it takes is ONE to completely upend it (im sorry yaetatsu but its TRUE)... look at what it did to my boy </3
all jokes aside i do quit enjoy the reversed dynamic her immensely... usually they have the bottom going through all sorts of angst and oppression gymnastics before they're finally deemed "worthy" enough to deserve the prize of dating the top or sum bullshit like that, but here it's the opposite. granted i found that even reversed i actually still find this trope irritating as FAWK but what i DID enjoy immensely out of this story using this trope with reversed dynamics is that it lets us see toraji be VULNERABLE - and not just vulnerable, but also anxious, worried, scared, heartbroken, etc etc just overall, as i said above, a miserable sopping wet dog. mmm... i love me some sad, miserable, heartbroken tops.
lorena: *details how she has a plan over the course of the months by staying with levantes to leverage her relationship over him, is illustrated to be able to keep the plan moving by connecting with ortiz and taking the levantes seal, revises the plan when finding out that michel is still alive and talks to him about it + establishes she WILL (key word here. she is WILLINGLY choosing this) choose to live because of her baby with him* i am scared that michel showed up in front of vaye because based on past trauma and experiences vaye might shoot him dead in front of me and i am upset with him because i already talked it out with him regarding my suicidality and how i'm gonna wrap up my stay with vaye.
yall: NOOO women not smart :( women can't be trusted to follow through plan :( women must defer to men and sit passively and wait prettily for them to rescue her even when women has plan in place because we know women not smart and will never make smart plans and women also can't save herself :'( women must be grateful to men for knowing better than her and saving her. how dare women have, let alone show, any disruptive emotions at all especially to men!! also who would trust women's word when she says she is fine, gives her reason why, and explains her plan when women has been hysterical in the past. this stupid bitch LOL
They are so critical of women and don’t give them even half the leeway they give men it’s insanity
