Not a Robot

There are 10 chapters translated into English with the author's permission and you are correct. Chon is actually girly.

I would take Delightful's and JayBL's subs any day! I miss the side comments the fansubs had.

You make great points. I'm not trying to be, "back in the good old days" but I do see changes in the community. Back when BL was mostly manga and a few movies here and there, I don't recall this level of negativity. It seems like now that BL dramas have caught the attention of mainstream viewers, many seem more interested in virtue signalling and complaining non-stop. I can't handle the hypocrisy of viewers virtue signalling and when it's pointed out that they love the problematic behavior on mixed, MF/MM dramas, they try excuse why the other shows are okay. This is one of my favorite shows and I usually like fluff. This show is very well done and I still don't know who the killer is, and I'm usually somebody who catches on quickly.

Did they delete that due to coronavirus? I was looking forward to the company trip.

Thank you! I will check out that page.

Thank you! I'm glad the actors look like the characters.

I can't find What Did You Eat Yesterday. Is it on Netflix? I read the manga so I'm curious to see who was cast.

The extent of my medical knowledge is watching Dr. G Medical Examiner and I'm surprised. I don't understand why their gloves are clean during an autopsy or why they aren't wearing splash guards. Why didn't Dr. Bun speculate why that wound pattern is similar to a broken bottle? A minor is bruised, battered, and is not discharged by the attending physician, yet the police aren't called. Maybe the novel is more accurate medically, but because I don't want to find out who the killer is, I haven't read it.

I get what you mean, it was brutal. I was referring to the abortion being successful by not being botched. I was trying (and failed) to be sarcastic (meaning that's what the nurse would have said) because of the brutality. I didn't know if Natty was having a miscarriage or botched abortion, but now we know. I'm already feeling stress about Jane being drugged and raped in the next episode.

It was being done illegally that's why nurse Fan was arrested. Since they had written records, it looks like the town's open secret.

It's because that's exactly what it was. Maybe not botched, but definitely back alley.

I knew that Natty had a miscarriage or botched abortion and when they said Jane had sepsis, I knew she had an abortion, but what I didn't expect was that nurse Fan was the abortionist. I thought that it might be the junior doctor. The smile the nurse gave Jane when she was brought in for sepsis was chilling. Poor Nam. I'm enjoying this series because of the twists even though there are major plot holes. (ex: If Bun is the attending, who discharged Nam? Why are their gloves clean during the autopsies? Where are Nam's parents?)

I know that you are not complaining, but it's a good discussions starter. I don't feel that every show with LGBTQ+ characters needs to be political, just like not everything with women needs to be political. Part of being treated equally is that populations don't have to follow a narrative. The fact that Kurosawa loved Adachi for 7 years without trying to get to know him better speaks more loudly than making speeches. Japan is a high context culture, so there is an expectation that Japanese viewers (the target audience) will catch on to things not explicitly said. That's why Fujisaki who knows both and is sensitive, caught on. The men in the office probably think that it's "impossible" for Adachi and Kurosawa to be in a relationship, so it doesn't even cross their minds. I think this is representation of the everyday person who finds love at work. BTW, neither identified their sexual orientation, which I think is pretty bold, knowing how much some viewers love labels.

The manga is wonderful and one of my favorites. It's 2 volumes (Mon-Thurs & Fri-Sun) and the premise is that one of the characters (Seryou) will date somebody for 7 days and if he doesn't fall for them, he will break up with them. On a whim, a male senpai (Yuzuru) asks him to go out, thinking that it's a joke, but they start their week of dating. I would recommend the movies. Watch Mon-Thurs first.

Thanks for your response. You seem very educated about the entertainment industry in Japan. By going solo I mean being a solo artist and having an agent who is not connected to the JPOP group. But if other members were allowed to kiss men, then that wouldn't be a factor. I think the series is fine as is, and in my opinion, the best overall BL of 2020.

I don't get it either but many manga has this, mainly the penetrating partner still has his pants on.

Me too, showing asexual doesn't mean unhappy, lonely or anti-love.

Agreed. Best of all of the BL that I watched this year. Now I wish that Seven Days had been done as a series instead of a film.

Thanks for the answer. That could be a reason for no gay pda. Those management companies have a lot of control. Machida has the talent to go solo, but I don't know entertainment politics in Japan. I was confused because there is a 70's band in the US named Exile.

You made really good points. I just wanted to point out that some people redress after sex, especially when it's cold. Also, some people do not feel comfortable sleeping naked. In some BL manga, people have sexual intercourse fully clothed or with their pants on. Since the English version is only on Vol 2, I don't know if this mangaka draws her characters like that.

I would have liked a peck too, but Kurosawa's "Merry Christmas" was so cute that I forgave them.
