the author could literally just write a comic where he himself is looking into the camera and saying "a harem ending is the worst ending for this story" and "gero is attracted to kinosaki" and shounen bros would still be like "clearly this means that gero is straight and the harem ending is canon"
.... What?
Did you.. Not read it clearly?
It’s confusing, could you help elaborate?(￣∇￣")I saw this anime and came to manga wanna try it out but afraid of investing in a harem ending and disappointing myself for nothing lol
HELP SAMEEEE （/TДT)/
They're just frustrated at a lot of people still insisting that a harem ending is happening despite the recent arc implying that it's the worst possible outcome.
Dw there’s no harem ending happening thats like the worst outcome in the manga. It’s about Gero finding his OWN happiness and that happiness might just be with Kinosaki
Ohhhh... I seeeeee.. Teehee~ ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I totally forgot the anime is coming out and so there are new fans who dont know about the discourse and was about to get so annoyed.
Basically what the other person said. It's mostly discourse related to recent chapters. It's kinda spoilers so that's on me for not tagging properly.
Oh I see! Thats a relief then. I’ll try the manga then anime after if possible. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
No you were alright. I'm updated with the manga. I just couldn't comprehend what you said at first (￣∇￣")
I was like: "what's made illiteracy? Is there such a phrase?" And then failed to realise that you wrote in a sarcastic tone so I was really confused
Turn this think into Yaoi John Brown and myife is yours
I am also looking for Yaoi John Brown ╥﹏╥
love reading comments speculating about the author because whatever assumption you've made you need to make it weirder.
like broski is on hrt and i still don't know if he's like trans fem or if it's for the bit. also he's married?????? tbh im not even confident he uses he/him pronouns anymore but there's no sources that will clarify. We're not even gonna acknowledge his patreon
Right this just seems to be their preference in men. On YouTube they still refer to them as a man but many have begun to call them unnie and sister
At some point we're gonna have to talk about how some cultures don't see cousin/cousin relationships as actual incest and that Japan is one of those cultures that is fine with toeing that line.
I'm not saying it's acceptable I'm just saying it's been a long overdue convo.
'suppose it comes down to population density and/or isolation - japan was a closed country for two hundred years and that's gotta affect how a society views familial relations.
The way half these comments are you would think Yeosong did some like irredeemable shit but his crime is that he's sexually exploited by his boss and isn't worshipping the floor Gyeol walks? Or something idk why people are acting like he's too dirty for Gyeol.
Saw a comment bitching about people babying/woobifying Yeosong and uh...sure I'm sure some folks are doing that but it feels like waaaaay more of y'all seem to woobify Gyeol.
Like first of all we ignoring how he was only interested in Yeosong because he wanted to smash? Like that was it. That was the primary goal for him. He wanted Yeosong's cookie so bad that when he was sleeping he was about to jerk off to him. His dick was out and then he had the foresight to not do that. And after Yeosong "ghosted" him he claimed that Yeosong was "acting suggestive" (he was not this man was just insanely horny).
Folks saying that Yeosong is "treating him like a sex toy" are ignoring that Gyeol is too low-key. Like he said straight up he wanted to fuck and that was his main interest. He might like other parts about Yeosong (somehow) but his primary goal this entire time has been to bust a nut.
His actions got his own friend injured and instead of being like "ah shit my impulsive ass just resulted in my homie getting socked for no reason" he's like "grrr need that cookie bad enough to IGNORE EVERYONES WARNINGS and join that obviously shady fight".
Neither of them are perfect and that should've been obvious from the start. This is not a pure, clean fluffy romance. Wtf did y'all expect?
It reeks of purity culture bullshit. It feels like the only reason Yeosong is getting more shit is because he's not just a pure, innocent, blushing virgin who yields to the stronger, manlier top. It also just ignores the fact this story is clearly showing that he's being sexually exploited (and it's pretty obvious he's not into it) and that he's also being drugged but somehow this makes him evil and disgusting and a slut who needs to be tossed aside or whatever. Like what are we doing?
What's especially annoying is it doesn't just happen here. Any time a bottom isn't like "my chrysanthemum is only for one man and also Jesus" or whatever and has sex with other guys y'all turn in the Westboro Baptist Church.
I legitimately feel insane because how do you not just immediately clock the insane shit you're saying? How are you babying one man but then acting like the other is a complete demon for....wanting to have casual sex with him? Get help.
PREACH
You say neither are perfect but you seem to have a special vendetta against gyeol lmfao.
I have nothing against Gyeol. Like as a he character he's fine. What you're reading as a "vendetta" was me using the same kind of framing other comments at the time were using with Yeosong. I'm basically going, "hey if we follow your logic then Gyeol is just as bad". When I made this comment I didn't feel the need to focus on Yeosong because everyone else was pretty much doing it for me.
My entire point is that people were being hypocritical and woobifying Gyeol. I actively chose to frame Gyeol in the same uncharitable manner to highlight that fact. If you think this comes off as me having a vendetta then I think I did my job well enough.
me last week: man I really wanna recommend this to my friends. sure they're not fond of smut but the plot is just too good!
me now: maybe....maybe I shouldn't recommend this to them
There's a Sexual Assault scene. A lot of people don't want to mention this because its the kind of thing that scares away readers but it needs to be said.
It does happen between the main couple. The assaulter is Jinhyeong. From what I remember it's not super graphic and it ends very quickly. It ends because Uyun grabs Jinhyeong's dick and proceeds to scold him harshly.
The scene is extremely nuanced and does treat the moment fairly seriously (there's still a humorous element after Uyun grabs Jinhyeong's dick to scold him but even then the actual assault itself is never a part of the joke). I don't want to go into the reasons why it happens because it kind of spoils the entire first arc of the series.
I'm not going to argue whether it was handled well or not but I do think it was, in some ways, realistic (especially with how it happened). I think it mightve been a little too lenient with Jinhyeong (he never tops after this) but as you go on its hard to hate him. I think it's a very nuanced take on how assault isnt always something done by people with bad intentions. Sometimes it's done by people you love and trust and who might love you but for whatever reason also resent and wish to hurt you.
It's still a good story in my opinion. Jinhyeong is still a character I like and find very interesting but he's very complicated and did something pretty awful.
Please read at your own risk.
