I'm so glad you love a manga that is not BL. Fujoshis tend to ignore all non-BL manga. Good for you for being open-minded and enjoy straignt romance as well not just BL.
After all I am a poor maiden by heart who seeks a knight of her own ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
Sorry for that but I totally get what you're saying! For a period I was just reading BLs and couldn't pick up any non-BL stuff. That's when I said naah I need to chill out and get back to others too.
I can totally relate to that. It was the same for me some years ago but I took notice of that and started to read all genres again. Nowadays, I read BL just as much as other genres and it's not all-consuming anymore. The secret is to read BL mangas with a truly good story and characters and not any smut just because it's a BL.
So relatable!! What you said about truly good story and characters, I agree wholeheartedly. Ah it's nice to find someone like minded ^^
The manga had enamored me the first time I saw a page of it on Pinterest. Today I decided to start reading it and look at me catching up in just half a day. I have nothing more that I want except Satoko and people she loves to be happy. I want Goto to live happily ever after with Satoko and Kotaro to find someone to call his own too.
The beginning of this manga showed an old woman and her tone was melancholic. I don't want to assume anything based on that because I'll just make myself cry. It's been long since I've read something other than bl and I realised that I had forgotten this wonderful feeling of relating to the female lead and wanting a romance so exciting. I want mooooore! I love it so much.
