can some of y’all stop pushing your own standards onto queer media? especially when the characters grew up in a conservative environment. mc wasn’t accepted by his own parents, and before he could even reconcile with them, they DIED
he’s carrying that grief while suddenly becoming the guardian of his nephew. do you seriously think he’d be in the right state of mind to navigate work, raising a child, and a relationship all at once??? despite everything, he did his best to make sure tsumu was fed, clean, loved, and cared for. that’s why i’m grateful ml came into his life and helped ease some of that burden
his anxiety was also completely VALID. he was protecting ml from the prejudice that comes with dating another man. since ml was straight, it scares mc to think “what if ml eventually realized he wanted a conventional family?”
and the whole reo situation dude mc wasn’t considering living with reo because he liked him more than ml. reo was another single father, from mc’s perspective, two single dads helping each other raise their kids would be seen as a practical arrangement that SOCIETY could accept much more easily please
when did yoonsung’s memories came back? was it when he read the journal when they got back from his grandfather’s lodge? but i thought he threw it away together with the ring right after? if he knew it was for nakyung why did he threw it? was it for the same reason the he’s scared if he knew his memories came back he’d disappear?? i wish we got more pov with that scene and how was his thought process after while he was with nakyung
overall love the yearning love the slowburn and the story,, i cried so much wish we had extras where they talked about their past with the chairman more in the end
“dating a minor shouldn’t be a problem” ????? “young ones are awesome” ????? and hes 39 with a 17 yo
sometimes i wonder why do mangakas love high schoolers so much,, u can easily have a college student instead and story would basically be the same
reread the first story and it felt like takeo only had a crush on ao, tho i think he was more or less aware of it since he never explicitly said it. what really stuck with him most was that moment when he had the realization that same-sex relationships are fine. i mean, he did say at first that he never liked guys, so when he felt envious of ao’s bf, nagata, he realized that he could like guys too
but come on, even here he has yet to realize how scary and anxiety-inducing it must be for waka to realize his straight friend, whom he had loved for years, suddenly says he might be fine with dating guys too. waka’s probably constantly wondering if he’s enough or if takeo’s feelings are just fleeting. the least takeo could do is give him some reassurance and not push him too much.
if this was longer, takeo’s character could’ve been fleshed out more. i would’ve loved to see how his feelings for waka continued to develop throughout college and how he gradually came to understand waka’s fears and insecurities better
MMM wish this was a series!!! the art and story is so scrumptious i could eat them
oh my god i can’t believe i finished this shit couldn’t dnf it bc i was spite reading and wanted to hate this manhwa properly
i love how nobu is more involved in mario and riichi’s relationship. he’s not just there for the plot or as background context to set up their relationship. i can’t wait to read vol 3 and see more of his relationship with his father
this was so fucking hilarious whats with the half assed plot line and disgusting remarks
after reading the continuation i ended up liking cecil even more. i didnt catch it at first, but he’s far from a typical shoujo ml. rereading the main story and especially the sequel made me realize he leans pretty heavily into soft yandere territory lol. his possessive and obsessive tendencies become much more obvious later on
if it’s your cup of tea tho i reco reading the sequel
this was so good what do u guys mean,, mc and ml were hot and cute together plus i do get that kaji and the cousin were weird asf but they served their purpose in the story enabling both the mc and ml to see their flaws in their relationship so in the end its a win and the drama wasnt all for nothing thus everything was sorted out
low ass rating but this has really good world building and story that i would want to be adapted into an anime. the magic system also was more than decent and it got me interested in different spells and how they work with each other
honestly i want more out of their story and journey,,
yall just boriinggg this was a well written story can be stretched or longer nevertheless still good plot good characters and good ending HONESTLY WE NEED MORE SIDE STORIES their daily lives would be cute ash
my lists,, TT
i don’t think i’m even going to watch the anime i’m so sad how the story became in the end pushing the teacher agenda MULTIPLE chaps,, like the only recurring thing in this slice of life manga is ml having a crush on his teacher? there was even no reason for the teacher to ride ml home lolol like that alr was so weird,, the teacher def knows ml likes him and the way he js lets him ?? they literally have more development in their “relationship” than nakamura and ml at this point lolol id rather have nakamura end up with someone else but hey,, they’re js in highschool so these admirations r normal still author is ruining with how they’re setting up the stories
