I definitely get why people are upset with the #DesireFinale. The pacing of the whole show was frustrating as well

I’ll still give it a 9, all things considered

TC 💫 @hellothotcrimes.bsky.social · 8d

I don’t care for stories with children because I expect parents to love their kids more than they love their partners, but I read stories specifically for romance between the two main characters. I want the unwavering devotion. So this was a nice twist lmao

Hua Yong saying if Shayou died during childbirth he’d 🔪 himself because he couldn’t be trusted not to kill the kid for killing Shayou

Now that’s some ✨primo✨ obsession 🤌🏿

It’s so so good. I read it in one sitting and immediately bought two acrylic standees lol. I’ve also been spamming publishers asking them to license it for print

For sure! I was lucky enough to nab volume 1 of Castle Mango wayyy back (my copy is now yellowed). Have you tried ThriftBooks? I’ve had luck with them in the past

TC 💫 @hellothotcrimes.bsky.social · 13d

It was wild, and happened to at least 3 people. Some more fujin’s copies of NTAA had OP spliced in. And they weren’t even replacing pages, they were added in so the spine was wonky as a result

TC 💫 @hellothotcrimes.bsky.social · 14d

I do hope their licenses get picked up. Especially the Sakira ones

tbf June's been on the decline for years and you could tell by how they cut corners with their QA. My friend had to take to social media to get a refund for their manga that was printed with smudges and upside down pages. Another poster had pages from One Piece spliced into their volume

Folks, I should really publish this in tech talk on my blog in text form, and part of what's stopping me is I need ALT text for the slides and my usual volunteers are all currently helping with other stuff. If anyone has space for it, it'd speed this up a lot 🙏
