Mar. 7th, 2024 07:23 pmReading an essay about some manga I’ve never heard of called I Sold My Life For 10,000 Yen Per Year. Essayist thinks it’s supposed to be straightforwardly romantic, and hates it because the romance is a fucked-up mess. And I’m like, “I can’t really trust that this stuff about mutual suicide wasn’t supposed to be fucked-up, but at the same time, it sounds so unpleasant I don’t want to read it myself just to figure out whether you have reading comprehension or not.” I have a lot of experiences like that—I’m not sure you’re representing the story right, but you’re the one who read it and I’m not, and WOW I do not want anywhere near it.
