Thats one of his old idol mates, the one that was sorta mostly there for him before basically ghosting him when he got to be too much after the accident

fr its literally the highlight of my days recently, ty translator

following cause im down bad for a good romance & sm**

"sadistic beauty BL sidestory" is pretty similar, has a lot of strong "themes" so fr read with caution

Hes definitely supposed to be hated, however youre totally right. Hes the perfect contrast to Musashi, I even think his character is a bit relatable when it comes to his frustrations about himeself. I think out of most characters weve seen so far, Matahachi has been the most "human" in his flaws and degeneracy for the average reader

probably something similar to sake

pretty sure its supposed to be weed lmao

I wonder if its seichi's mind contorting how she actually appears, i believe weve seen that in some other chapters

"love or hate" by this author is great if you havent checked it out already! Otherwise i guess it depends on what exactly you look for but rn some of my favorites are (AND DISCLAIMER these are all yaoi) "roses and champagne", "the third ending", "dear door", "define the relationship", "love for sale", "your dream is delicious", "double trap", "bye bye", "painter of the night", i could really go on but i think this is a bit of an overwhealming suggestions list haha.. hope you found something you like!

nah i had the same thought, maybe im over reading it but maybe we'll get a villian arc from chan li
