⭐️ WEBTOON RECS (BL) ⭐️

-very cute and VERY stereotypical to the point that that’s a plot point and the series makes fun of itself as part of a running gag. huge yes for ppl who like romcoms. updates thurs. my rating rn is about 3.5/5

-SO pleasantly surprised by this, it’s so good. it has the perfect mix of an older feel coupled with newer age concepts? hard to explain. but it is so lovely and comedic gold. updates mon. my rating rn is a SOLID 5/5, so hooked it’s pathetic

Why Superfish Stands Out in Romantic Media

While the focus of my enjoyment of Superfish is the world pegl0 is building, it is bolstered significantly by how natural the way he depicts romance feels.

In some recent Instagram stories, he discussed how he will be evading the common pitfalls that are rampant in romantic media/romantic pairings in general such as the following:

Having two characters get together near the conclusion of the work, and hence not showing anything of the way they navigate their relationship and life going forward. Instead, he has made it clear that readers will see Superfish and DJ grow together beyond just entering a relationship.

Having two characters constantly locked in a stasis to artificially elongate the time it takes for them to realize how they feel for each other, whether the feelings are reciprocated, etc.

Having the characters enter a relationship, and then somehow become completely different and utterly unenjoyable versions of themselves, because the creator is unsure as to how the story must progress.

Introducing misunderstandings, sudden breakups, pointless arguments, etc. to further the story.

Even in the comic so far,

He is focusing on the natural attributes of an easy physical closeness that define feeling comfortable around a person. Superfish and DJ are constantly pulling each other along, teasing each other, etc. They act like two people who work well together, something that you don't always see so much as get told.

He has given ample development to each of them individuals, allowing the viewers to develop a rich understanding of who they are. Hence, the way they bring out the best in each other becomes more appreciable.

Through the sketches and miscellaneous art pieces he has shared of them, he shows us the minor details that characterize their dynamic. Without a focus on explicitly romantic actions, the way they interact with each other feels much more lived-in and real.

It certainly is novel to see.
