Spoilers for the current week should always be hidden using spoiler blur.
Please mention where you are in the book, ideally by chapter so people reading different versions have a clear point of reference.
Feel free to read ahead if itโs exciting, but please refrain from spoiling ahead of the appropriate week.
If you have a question about grammar, vocab, cultural things, etc - ask! Thatโs a welcome part of the discussion, and other readers will be happy to help.
Even if you donโt read the chapter(s) in time, you are still encouraged to post your thoughts.
This was one of my favourite parts in the anime, especially because of the whole slap=engagement misunderstanding! But mostly Iโm happy Yuuri stood up when Wolfram was slandering his family. Reading it now, though, it does seem a little silly that everyone just goes along with it when obviously Yuuri is basically a foreigner who has no idea of their customs. I assume rational people would usually just laugh it off as a mistake. But then again, we wouldnโt have our drama if they did, would we?
Wait, thatโs this week? Oops, I was commenting about that in the previous week thread
My impression though is that itโs not really โofficialโ anyway since both parties didnโt agree. (That being said, if ้ญ็ says โwe are getting marriedโ, I donโt think you have much room to say no?)
So, my original comment (in the wrong week; edited for context) was
So, ๆๅฉ made another guy blush?
(To be fair, about the previous part [Gunterโs rant about โdoorsโ], turns out it was because of the shampoo all along)
Iโm going to put it where (I hope) it belongs. Hopefully I wonโt make mistakes like that anymore.
I have to say that Iโm glad that we have a love interest in the same age range (when factoring in species differences)
So quick question for whoever knows: how informal is the term ใใตใใ? Does it show any particular closeness on ๆๅฉโs part with his mother?
Edit: finished up this week, just before the deadline, haha.
Iโm with you there; that, plus the whole โif you pick up a knife they intentionally dropped you accept their duelโ felt a bit forced. At least with the slap = proposal it felt like the mom was egging it on more than anything.
I wonder if thereโs a time limit on this sort of thing? Could Wolfram offer the other cheek five months down the line?
Wolfram is the thousand-year-old vampire in this scenario, hahaha. I do wonder how long ๆๅฉ will live, given his half parentage.
