some dumbass in ig called this yaoibait after reading up to ch 25 holy fuck media literacy is dead.
it’s not bait when they’re pretty much explicitly confirmed as queer. the entire story is a metaphor for queerness, accepting yourself, found family, etc. its a blatant representation of an insecure gay man (yamadera, who has accepted himself as a “monster”) in a complicated relationship with a self-hating bisexual man who wishes he could be straight, and not a “monster.” yamadera’s insecurity is the focus of the most recent update, it’s implied they kiss in this chapter, he bit all over minoru’s chest, etc. just because they don’t have sex on screen doesn’t mean it isn’t gay.









this comic is literally growing up with me i started reading this back in high school when all 4 of them were also still in high school, and now that i'm an adult, they are now too.
