There are people debating about whether God created homosexuality or if humans are tampering with nature, so I would like to share my view on it.
Religious texts and mythology have never been as rigid as some claim. Many acknowledge that gender and love exist in more forms than just male and female, recognizing diversity as part of divine creation.
Hinduism openly embraces this fluidity. Shiva and Parvati merge into Ardhanarishvara, embodying both masculine and feminine energies. Vishnu transforms into Mohini, and the Mahabharata tells of Shikhandi, a transgender warrior, and Arjuna living as Brihannala, breaking rigid gender roles. If strict male-female divisions were the only natural order, why would such stories be part of sacred texts?
Other ancient scriptures also recognize that some people are born different. In one tradition, a great teacher speaks of those who do not fit conventional gender roles yet are still part of the divine plan. Another states, "The Creator makes whom He wills," reinforcing that every person exists as they were meant to. Even early religious communities acknowledged people outside the male-female binary rather than erasing them.
No sacred text commands hatred toward those who are different. Instead, they emphasize compassion, dignity, and respect for all beings. If divinity does not make mistakes, then every person, in all their diversity, is part of the natural order. Denying their existence isn’t divine truth—it’s human prejudice.
They released the Stay With Me radio drama on February 27, 2025. The first episode is out!
There will be 20 episodes in total— the first 10 episodes cover Book 1, and the next 10 episodes cover Book 2. New episodes will be released every Thursday at 6 PM CST on the Manbo app.
Yes, totally want more of gun and arm interactions.
Yes! And I absolutely love their 'I’m so done with him, but I still love him' expressions when their respective partners are being goofy and doing their sesangisis. It’s hilarious.
Parallel world exists in this show! It's not only Cir's dream! Even Cir wasn't aware of it. Yes he kept his eye…
That makes sense! It really seems like Ai'Jin’s ability was meant to bring Cir and Phu together, and now that they’re closer, he’s losing it. Thanks for taking the time to explain.😊 I’m curious to see if the show confirms this or keeps it open-ended!

Ohh, okay! That makes things a bit clearer for me. This series is a bit confusing. Thanks for taking the time to explain!
Can you please clarify things about Ai'Jin? How can he read minds? Why does he have this ability, and what was happening with his ability in this episode (Episode 8)?

I get that lack of communication is the central theme, but the way they resolved the conflict didn’t feel satisfying. The series was engaging until episode 5, but the last two episodes, where everything should have come together, felt both dragged out and rushed at the same time. The resolution lacked impact, making the emotional payoff weaker than it could have been. Those final episodes had potential but could have been executed much better.

I get your point! Japanese culture and language naturally lean toward indirect communication, which definitely influences how characters interact. But even within that framework, miscommunication doesn’t have to be the main source of drama, it felt like a forced plot device at times.
I do agree that some characters had valid reasons for avoiding tough conversations, but some situations dragged on unnecessarily. Take Hagiwara and his girlfriend, for example—he mentioned they hadn’t had sex for a year, and she kept pushing him away without explaining why. They’ve been living together for two years, and she already knew from past experiences that she loses interest in sex over time, which had ruined her previous relationships. So why didn’t she communicate this sooner? If not at the start, then at least when she noticed it happening again. They live together, he kept approaching her, and still, she couldn’t have an honest conversation about it? That’s not just cultural, it’s frustratingly avoidable.
That being said, Sei and Hagiwara’s dynamic was refreshing, they actually communicated well compared to the rest!
