Re: KnT

I'm still reading it, but only out of habit/inertia. It's been a wheel spinning blur to me for a long time now.

I stopped reading new chapters since it seemed to be winding toward an ending but that was like...a year ago? maybe? It'll be nice to finally finish it though.

I Failed At Anime 2022
Some brand new shoujo I just read the first chapters for:

Moekare wa Orenji-iro - fireman boyfriend

Akane Shoten no Kaji Tenchou - bookstore manager boyfriend

Fireman one is kinda meh, but maybe will be sort of like P to JK or at least that level of quality. I think the bookstore one has a bit more heart to it and the art is also better. I also liked that rather than the usual tragic dead parent one is just unemployed and having a hard time.

After the plot completely sputters along until the manga just ends. there were basically no stakes or conflict for the back half of the run.

fixed. I enjoyed it for the happy ending and the good relationship with the plot convenient friends and brother.

There must be a genre now of 'otaku who works from home has relationship with white collar working lady' AND I WANT ALL OF IT.

(This post is mostly contrary opinions, so I just want to be clear that I'm not insulting anyone who disagrees and this is obviously subjective.)

...I actually agree with this. Bonnouji always gave me the feel of some sort of adult version of a shounen romance wish fulfillment thing or something. Like it portrays the sort of relationship a lonely single 20-30-something man might fantasize about. I mean, simply by being for adults it's still better than its shounen equivalent, and it's certainly not bad, but I don't understand why people like it quite as much as they do. I think the biggest reason why I don't enjoy it is that I think "slice of life" stories generally require good comedy to stay entertaining, and Bonnouji isn't that great in that regard.

Honestly, even if you limited things to just het relationships I would still say that there are a bunch of random josei manga that are at least as good as Bonnouji.

Then again, there's not exactly anything wrong with being titillating, though under normal circumstances (unless something else really stood out about the work) I wouldn't go out of my way to say that sort of thing is really good.

I also wondered in Bonnouji how both of them just stopped having sex for months? Years? Is this something lost in translation or cultural difference?

I was titillated I cannot lie. I was not insulted.

It's a bit open to interpretation, someone else opens the door and noone seems to acknowledge her presence and wasn't she supposed to be "sick"? The two people with the speech bubbles are seemingly talking through her.
