kahae's manga / #Adapted from novel(2)

i see a lot of mixed (mostly negative) reviews of this -- i think while it does have a lot of problematic themes, they're generally addressed within the manga (or the novel) as problematic (like makoto lusting after his son) -- i don't think miura necessarily "forced" jun to kiss her, like with freddie and mary, jun is said to be in love with her but not sexually attracted to her (which makes him a biromantic homosexual) and that's a real and valid thing -- these among other things are touched upon, but i imagine are more clarified in the novel to make them more understandable and maybe sensitive -- the author himself said that he didn't write this to reflect society/make social commentary, but to reflect people and i think if that was it's purpose, it was fairly successful -- i don't hate it or love it, which is better than i was expecting with all of these themes so i think it surprised me in that way at least

seems mature and interesting with a level headed couple -- i usually like ones adapted from novels cus they'll have a little more realism and a secondary plot aside from the romance (like mc finding who he wants to be in this) -- waiting for the official trans
