…I could tell it was gay-lesbian hostility (solidarity) but wow that whole situation has to hurt
Please I’ve seen it too many times already can cn>en translators learn what what white wine in English means before 1:1 translating 白酒 into “white wine” when Actual white wine would be 白葡萄酒 THESE ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT TYPES OF ALCOHOL WITH VERY, VERY DIFFERENT PROOFS we’re talking 11-14% (白葡萄酒/what is commonly referred to as white wine) vs a whopping 35-65% (白酒)
You can literally leave 白酒 in pinyin it’s ok to do that it’s /better/ to do that actually
look all I’m getting from this is that she’s boob height
ohhh this is gonna hurt (it already hurts) I’ve been mega interested in this since I first saw it on twitter and I’m no at all disappointed this is incredible so far. Takana’s emotions and her desire especially are so raw…Ema seems to also have not completely able to come to terms with the past, and I’m hoping (though it’s damn slim, poor dude) that her marriage is a lavender one, but that probably won’t be it. he seems like an actually good decent guy so fingers crossed, especially that it won’t be messy for everyone’s sakes
yo he wasn’t supposed figure out black = vx until much later but oh well I guess
Snap is there a novel? If you’ve read it is it worth the read
definitely worth it imo but it’s not translated
I thought broker b and vx are the same or sthg,, no? Sorry, the first chapter got me madsoiskippedmtothe latest lol I suspect it’s a frustrating read
ACK noooo Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
Whaat please spoil
my suggestion is that you actually read it because you missed out on…everything over something that kind of obviously wasn’t right
the way things happened in the novel was that he set up in a cafe, not some warehouse with a closed network. not that something like that could’ve stopped vx anyways but lol. anyways he goes on thinking that black is a separate entity for a while actually, there’s a whole scene where black says goodbye to him so they can go to the side of someone who’s been waiting for them (aka, him) and then after they get together & he sees vx in action he realizes it (and has a little internal breakdown bc he knows he’s the one who pushed vx into doing this while also at the same time feeling his respect & admiration grow bc this means vx really is just that capable)
Gotcha then I’ll read kinda backwards so I get the whole story so far
Wait so how did the interaction with B wrap up in the novel
you know how Jin Kang has a feeling somethings off? That it was too easy? Hold onto that, he was right lol. That’s all I’ll give for now
I’m incredibly conflicted about the fact that my first reaction to seeing the summary was to check the gender of the kid & the relief that came seeing ars is a boy….ive been burned too many times
I thought I was the only one
main couple vibes aside idk if it was the author, translator, or both, but SOMEONE was going off in those monologue boxes which is extra funny bc why are we getting these wistful, melancholically poetic lamentations during a chapter that was literally 95% just oral sex lmaooooooo
100% agreed
ok so I haven’t touched this manga in a hot second BUT I HAVE been reading the novels and it’s literally crazy how different they are like there was no arts festival or summer retreat in the novel and the way that certain characters come into the story are also wayyy different (for example rosette. She DOES NOT try to bribe Violette for her silence for one thing nor does the prince ever actually come up in convos between them they’re just purely friends and very cute ones). Also the manga has no business being nice to maryjune like this. No business at all.
but one thing I’m definitely unsatisfied about is how the manga is treating her family issues because hhholy shit does it not even TOUCH the depravity and absolute cruelty that she had to live with for so long.
Like. They brush over the fact that Violette was raised a boy and that her mom was projecting her father onto her and that’s bad, that’s already awful, but it doesn’t even show the full extent of how bad it was. She was like /basically/ being sexually abused/molested by her mother as a child because of her resemblance to her shit sperm donor. Her dad’s awful yes but the one who truly fucked up the poor girl to the point where even now she’s got horrible body dysmorphia AND gender dysphoria. On top of so many other issues.
As for her father, don’t worry the author herself said in one of the author’s notes “Forgiveness was never on the table in the first place” thankfully unlike the writers of a lot of other similar plots in japanese manga/light novels I get the impression she’s much more aware of matters around abuse and the like. There will be no redemption for him (actually, as of volume 4 of the LN he’s gotten his just desserts in the best way possible from the least likely suspect).
Speaking of which, y’all will NOT believe who the last boss is! In retrospect it makes sense but damn is the reveal and That MomentTM specifically quite surprising.
Also don’t worry Yulan is endgame like expediating an engagement behind ShitSperm’s back endgame!! Also the prince is meh. But unlike the manga which seems to be pushing for a surprise turn around in the novel Violette and Claudia actually mutually agree to put their past behind them /and/ Claudia is officially engaged to Rosette (the author apparently has plans for romance between them so we’ll see how that goes).
Not to mention ohhhh he puts maryjune in her place. Violette puts maryjune in her place once more too. Even [REDACTED] puts maryjune in her place which was hilarious. How is this girl so brainlessly selfish is a question for her parents.
Thank GOD I read this one, I do wonder if you could share where you read the novel bc I would love to read that based on this! If you can share here or send me a dm that would be amazing! <3
Dang it! Now I'm curious about the novel... but I'm to lazy to read it... I see I'll have to go to the spoilers forum for this one too...
Tbh my biggest bone with this is the damned sister. No way you can call her innocent. Even if she was bullied in a past life... you do not go after the man your sister likes... and with her horrible family I don't blame mc for her past. BUT I also feel she blames herself too much and should not be that nice to marytrash... anyway... this frustrates me a lot so I guess I'll do with the spoilers forum...
Where are you reading the novel? Can you share the link please?
It’s officially licensed in English & the releases are up to the fourth volume…you can find this out pretty easily by googling it…
Tell me who's the last boss.
TTvTT when will manga reach that point
omg thank you so much for saying this! legitimately there were so many points of the manga that left me so confused, especially when it came to the scenes depicting her mother and when she was wearing male clothes. you explaining this made the story make sooooo much sense. i knew there was something that just felt off or left out while reading the manga, but im definitely gonna read the light novel now
Not Takuto’s footprints abruptly cutting off-
love how this chapter was like “we’ll give you a beautiful break from the kids’ plot lines and then destroy you in the last couple pages”
I know next to nothing about Kaiser except he’s an asshole and [redacted] but by god does “your very existence has ruined my fucking life” in this context hit it does things to me it’s soooo fucking good
