wtf where’s Aki? Reze? Angel? Hell kobini??? I feel like this would’ve been a great ending chapter if it were longer and contained as many character references and resolutions as possible to make sense of this new reality and give it a proper full circle ending. I love power but did Fujimoto think people ONLY liked her or something??
Sometimes authors just gotta know where to end a story lmao. This was such a light read, now a character is acting totally out of character an running away from their years long relationship for six months? Over some “break up”? I get if this happened way earlier in the series when they were still rocky, but it’s too far atp for that. Some better drama would’ve been them taking in a friends kid in the near future and being first time parents or something lmao
Wdym pochita ate himself? What reason was there even for it? It was literally “welp, you were happier in squalor, denji and I’ve seen enough. Bye.” It reads more like he’s tired of denji’s shit/tired of being his “heart” that takes over during distress and just wants all the distress to be “over” by reverting Denji back to when he lived in squalor.
At the chapter where Juwon finally gets his turn, just for Taeha to meddle and burst into the room? Juwon hasn’t done anything manipulative, people are just used to the “kind friend becoming evil” trope that manhwas do so they have an Excuse as to why the second best lead doesn’t get love and so the chosen lead gets to save the ML.
Taeha is suck a cockblocker it’s pmo. Everything between Chuwon and Juwon is consensual. And the dynamics with the puppy one and Juwon are way more interesting than Taeha. He honestly could’ve been written out and this story would’ve been fine being a throuple between the puppy one and Juwon! Lmao. Just forcing him to be relevant.
Not that I dislike him, but he’s doing too much meddling. And his plots is always him “saving” chuwon but never any good interactions with chuwon outside of sex that makes him a better lead. Meanwhile Juwon gets cute interactions and went out with him and his baby brother, and the puppy one has a whole story of looking up to chuwon and is sweet. wtf is Taeha? Lmao
Not really into reincarnation stories so stopped reading at a certain point. Thought it’d be a genuine thriller BL of a guy taking revenge for his dad and falling in love with a monster in the process. Also the flow wasn’t quite right for me? Felt like the author really wanted to draw expressions and key panels that they were excited about drawing more than writing and properly flowing the scenes together, because at some points I was going “wtf is happening?”. Art’s nice but it doesn’t do anything when I’m figuring out what the hell is happening and why one panel he’s talking normally to the vampire and the next panel he’s shouting and the text is in a spiraling black and red font lmao. Started feeling fever dreamy with good art.
Chapter 59 was horrific. And this ain’t even the worst?! Poor Hyena omfg. And I thought the first two were bad — they were literally petty Kdrama level compared to this (even though chihuahua girl helped!)
And the fact that hyena endured all of this because some of their parents were way more influential and powerful than her dad and could’ve gotten him murked if she told… just top level evil corruption. There was probably no way she could’ve survived this unless Karma went to her school and existed in her path (and on her side) BEFORE her death. Or they got a new victim OMFG.
I never like seeing characters suffer and usually want fade to black if they’re a villain because it’s still too much. But this girl? Karma needs to give her worse than the first two and serve 100x more damage than she did to Hyena.
Okay this story is funny as fuck. Like, the extreme revenge turned me away a bit, but Karma’s dialogue with the bullies, their internal dialogues, and the chihuahua girl (bully with short hair and pulled bangs) kept making me laugh… I ended up getting attached to the chihuahua and was glad she lived — she’s so damn dumb and her interactions with karma were so silly at a point it started getting endearing!
Spoiler: Once rolled bangs chihuahua girl suffered enough I felt like it was okay to let her off the hook. She was a bully but I don’t think she was brutal enough to deserve death; her family’s fate was the brutal end. At least she gets the biggest change of a normal life into adulthood even with enormous debt lol. Her brother can suffer for eternity though. I’ll miss her; I wish she was taken in as another “daughter” by the director if he wasn’t so bent on revenge so I could keep seeing her interactions with karma lmao.
I keep saying every chapter that the content is too little per chapter and I should just let it pile up to binge, but I come back each update just to see if fujimoto put something that directly moves the plot along in each chapter that I don’t wanna miss out on. Like Nayuta’s “death”. So far since then I’ve just been feeling like there’s a lot of “wtf fujimoto” and “okay that was weird but let him cook” moments but not enough… payoff? And this chapter (193), there’s pretty big themes happening but it’s just depressing asf and doesn’t feel like we’re getting closer to any goal. Feels more like “a story meandering but in the style of fujimoto” than something really happening. Feel free to disagree idc and this comment section is actually hilarious and better with differing opinions than the fujimoto glazing elsewhere. Like even if this all leads up to something big and he’s actually cooking it still feels… meh.
Bro’s gonna mess around and end up barfing up Makima
The ending was rushed. So much was set up and established that this series felt like it was meant to be much longer than quick a 5-10ish chapter read. Sentarou’s career, the actual family bonding, more backstory about them and actual genuine love that’s better than whatever we got because it happened so fast and still feels superficial. It’s too quick. The pacing would work more for some quick lighthearted read of two already established guys in a relationship watching a kid for the weekend than two guys who still are trying to get together + angst + has their own motivations and goals + the kid is THEIRS to actually RAISE + whatever tf is up with Ririko and the backstory… too much for such little chapters! It left off so disappointing.
This could’ve easily been something that ended in about 40-50 chapters after a year or two of publishing than just 11!
Kinda wish there were more long running BL about just raising a family. Like the slice of life “Azumanga Daioh” where characters go through the months and years and age, except as a cute cozy long running family manga. And I say family because I know there’s long running BL with MC who are students and young adults, but I’d prefer a family because we can see the lives of both the adults and kids as they age so it doesn’t get old (and there’s only so many chapters I can read of a high school/young adult romance before I get bored lmao).
Feel like the cozy market isn’t really getting tapped into for wholesome family manga!
Okay, I could’ve sworn that his heart only explodes once his true strength as “being stronger than any dragon or demon king” is revealed. But why can’t he just use a bit of his strength to at least be as powerful as the average magic using noble kid or something? Why fail miserably at everything on purpose but do that annoying fucking cackling smile each time because people don’t know his true strength? Why put up with the director abusing everyone the whole time but secretly cackling the entire time while your siblings don’t know you could’ve ended him lmao? No one cares if you’re secretly strong but do Jack shit to help anyone; it’s just a waste!
Still at the beginning chapters but MC is high key good potential that’s wasted on the whole “can’t do ANYTHING of importance despite being strong” narrative, because even the hidden strength characters he drools over still use their powers to do SOMETHING. Also, why not use the meat from the monsters he hunted to feed his siblings in the orphanage? He could’ve said he found them dead or something lmao
I wish this one kept going… an isekai with gyaru and not the usual protagonist was so fun, and it was interesting seeing them interact with the “usual” protagonist, their old friend. I didn’t even think they were annoying; more like it leaned into the absurdity and comedy of a gyaru isekai and still developed their characters besides a one note joke.
It’s sad they cut this one! It’s actually cute and wholesome! I guess the original audiences or publisher would rather prefer if the art style was more sketch in the moe/loli department or the child became the love interest like Usagi Drop or for my daughter I’d defeat the demon lord because why cut this one?
Interesting. Saving to binge it later, since reading mysteries that my brain NEEDS to know the answer to chapter by chapter frustrates me more than entertain lmao.
I wonder if there’s a secret work affair, if it were a pure accident, or some other shady deal. Because all the people at her job are so shady to me so far lmao
Pls I really don’t care about public safety’s bull at all I just wanna know WTF exactly happened to Nayuta offscreen
(〜￣△￣)〜
I wonder if he’ll sign his next line since he can’t say them verbally, since a big theme of this manga is “expressing yourself” and communicating/being understood in both ways (body and voice). That’d be a nice twist.
The romantic scene in chapter 5 gave me both butterflies and second hand embarrassment when I remembered he did that corny aah jump in public and the MC commented that it probably looked awkward to passerby’s lmao
Last chapter high key made me want this to be an acting shounen like Act Age (can’t believe it was canceled because the author was a disgusting creep) since I think we’re drastically missing something in that area. The author is great at writing character motivations and small stakes, so I’d imagine them taking on a shounen-type series and filling the void of act age with bigger stakes and more challenges would be top tier entertainment with how well they write characters and communication!
Akari nooo （/TДT)/
This is an interesting take on a magical girl. I wish it got more popular. Interesting too how her companion fills in for her using her younger image with pigtails and not her current appearance
Ok this is unhinged and off topic BUTTTT I kinda wanna know what exactly was the problem that MC had with his acting. At first I got the impression that he had too exaggerated comedy style acting from being a child actor (and in theater, where exaggeration is more necessary for the stage). Like a Disney kid doing corny over the top Disney sitcom acting for a more adult drama role. Doesn’t fit for serious roles, but is great for child audiences that can’t grasp subtle concepts to read the actors expressions in child-aimed content.
But then, another flashback with his theater instructor, the problem is that he stands out and they want his costars to shine too so he was shafted to the background as comic relief… HUH? Isn’t this THEATER? Isn’t that good main character material for when you’re on a stage and the audience waaay back needs to read your movements? NANI???! Maybe the instructor should help his costars to do better then instead of shaft him for their sake because they can’t stand out ON STAGE????????
THEN the instructor thanks deaf guy because MC learned he wants to do better so that even audiences who can’t hear can tell what he’s saying. Good inspo… but wasn’t he ALREADY acting in that direction? He’s just trying to perfect it now, not redo his whole acting style. So does that mean there was nothing wrong with his acting (for theater, not for the cinema peeps) in the first place? He just needed to perfect it? Why is the instructor thanking deaf guy like his acting was tomato tomato atrocious from the start or sumn, when it’s clear he has good foundation from when deaf guy, who COULDN’T HEAR, was impressed with his performance in the first chapter?
I got it that for cinema, he needs to learn to be subtle and not so exaggerated, but for his theater career what is theee problem? It’s distracting me when I’m trying to read cute guys help — （/TДT)/
The part with the kids was cute but the conflict resolution of the couple didn’t satisfy me like… wtf did Naoto apologize for lmao. He was probably just feeling bad about the situation itself and wanted to say sumn because he honestly wasn’t in the wrong in any way in this instance, and Haa-kun should’ve said more about his part in this. Seemed kinda brushed through, as if it didn’t even need to happen in the plot lmao. If anything made me like Haa-Kun less. I hate when “communication” really means both sides must make amends as if both did something equally as bad even if one side didn’t even do shit like huh?
