very introspective and philosophical, spends a lot more time on the internal lives of the characters and how their past affects them in their daily lives. a lot of political messaging, framed nicely within modern South Korean history. I adored the moments of tenderness between the lesbian couples featured here, laced with a little bit of dread for the future.

really adorable and an easy read, but I didn't find myself falling into the world or characters so much. I think it could have benefited from a bit more time world building. very much love the lesbianism of it all though!!

erm... well... tldr: everything clicked when I reached the authors note and they wrote that they based this off of heterosexual harem manga. it is basically just that.

I did find it amusing and entertaining at parts, but the overwhelming feeling was "what the fuck?" and not in the funny way. having read this I kind of understand what the yaoi ronso was all about. yeah, sometimes people really can get your identity wrong. but that's not what the author was going for, so I think you should take my opinions with a grain of salt.

thinking on it more, though, I think I would like to see a Yuri harem. this just isn't the way about it though. the appeal of Yuri lies in the fact that it's not just hetero or BL storylines just with two girls, it's got its own tropes and stories to tell. so yeah, this was pretty boring. but it WAS pretty though !! my personal pick is barista girl w the voice fetish, no surprises there. she wouldn't want me back until I showed her my ability to flawlessly recreate the stereotypical young anime girl voice though

정말 흥미로운 내용이 많았다! 많이 배웠고 더 배우고 싶어졌다. 특히 3장, 6장, 7장과 9장 좋았다.

I really want this to be translated - to translate it myself - to bring these voices to a world audience. kpop fans should absolutely embrace the queering of their favs. (maybe in a later volume of this there'll be a zb1 appearance....)

이번에는 토마스의 과거를 알게 되어서 좋지만 다시 현재로 왔을 때 좀 갑작스럽고 헷갈리게

암튼 재미있었음!

기대만큼귀여웠는데삼대일은extra니까아주짧은벌륨인듯

oh this was painful.... but not much else. I have very little to say about this as a one-shot, since it's more of a statement piece than anything. and yeah, I agree, fuck homophobia and love wins and legalise gay marriage

I can't do it. I just can't. I can't read hai without grimacing a little. I know what the author is trying to do, I just don't like it. I don't like any of it actually. the characters all feel like caricatures. this would probably be fine as an anime. I think that's what's putting me off it, and I love anime. I literally grew up on it. this writing is just too on the nose but also like. somewhat off the nose? it's on the nostril. this is on the nostril. i can't do it

read up to chapter 41! [as far as it's been released on a platform I frequent]

I've been reading this chapter by chapter for a while, and it has been one of the loveliest series I've had the pleasure to read. warms the heart thoroughly. makes me feel full of love and yearning, and not in the way that also makes me feel deeply lonely! I love that they're both separate characters, while being together, so that it doesn't feel like they're made entirely to be a couple. they shine bright when they're apart, chasing their own dreams, and they flicker warm and welcoming like a fireplace when they're together. I want what they have so bad

a really intriguing narrative that builds on itself well! the characters felt quite alive, realistically flawed. the romance got my heart fluttering just a teensy, tiny little bit (I just can't put myself wholeheartedly into straight romances) so I assume for those who love a doomed-ish forbidden-ish romance like this, it'd be wonderful. 

however!! i will say that both my friend and i found the

sex scenes lacking a little something. they felt less tender and less heated than they perhaps should've been, given the scenes and build-up beforehand, so it was a little baffling to reach the scene after such a sexy preamble and feel very little eroticism at all. the later scenes were much better, though. not every author has perfectly erotic sex scenes in them and that's ok!!

the plot, instead, was engaging throughout. thoroughly recommended to any sci-fi fan - this is just what lighter sci-fi should feel like!!
