i think using yanderes for comedy is an untapped market, really. this manga cannot stop making me laugh because it is very solidly a romcom which means we have this yandere ready to stab at any second but he can't
and they contrast this with wally, who treats her with respect. she feels safe around wally. she relaxes around him and trusts him and has a fun time being with him. wally, who gets fucking PISSED when he hears how she was mistreated and manipulated
// abuse
i love cherry boy that girl so much
these two are just so good together!!! berry and wally start off with a bad impression but then he becomes the person she can go to for help when trying to escape her abusive ex-boyfriend
i have to confess: i never played v3 and have no interest in learning about it, i just wrote a massive kaede/ouma fic series out of spite
it's also fun because latte sees no problem with just making things up sometimes and so we get a scene where arwin asks her to dance and she's like "my dancing skills were too great and i sealed them away bc my rival sent assassins after me"
latte and arwin is an amazing ship to me because i got into the series with the mindset of "oh my gosh i really love latte's dynamic with arwin but he probably isn't the endgame love interest" but then as i went on i slowly began to realize that HE WAS THE CANON LOVE INTEREST
horimiya is one of those series that everyone recommends and that's because it's good.
i don't know how i wrote 300,000+ words about them when i was like 15 but i was right. they're good.
listen i just really love the gender fuckery going on with this manga. he is her girlboyfriend and she is his boygirlfriend and they're in love. and also stupid (affectionate)
i don't particularly remember why i ship hilda and dimitri, but i went insane and wrote a bunch of fics for them, including a 55 chapter long fic that's like 80,000+ words long
