WHATS UP. SORRY THIS COMIC IS 15 IMAGES LONG LMAO I HAVEN'T USED THE NEW POST EDITOR YET SO THIS IS FORMATTED BADLY. Here's a scene from the hlvraifm au! It takes place not long after the scene where Mind was mean to Gordon about breaking his knee GFDHFDKSJ
THE BASIC CONTEXT HERE IS: Gordon shot at the skeleton that only He Can See, and Mind was already at his breaking point because his withdrawals were setting him off- so nausea with the sudden rage and screaming meant he got sick. He and Gordon have a talk! It doesn't go well(at first)!
If you want to see this conversation resolve itself, the rest is written by me and @shineyfish under the cut! Just read the warnings lol
WARNING: THE REST OF THIS SCENE CONTAINS SOMEONE TAKING DRUGS. IT IS CONTROLLED BUT STILL UNADVISED! It should be obvious but we do NOT condone it LMAO
"Just- just forget about it."
"No, I-! I-I want to know- I want to help-" Gordon said, scooting closer. "And- and you're sick, too- is that what you're mad at me for? That I- that I didn't notice? I-I don't know what even caused it you and I are the only ones who haven't drank the fucking...gross sewage water- but we can- man, I-I'm sure we can take another rest day if we need- or- or I could try to carry you? Dr. Coomer probably could, too-"
Mind was shaking, shuffling backward a little. His eyes were wide as he stared at Gordon, expression filled with fear.
"I'm, I'm good! Get the- back away, please. I need space."
If he wasn't paralyzed with fear he would run. He would run so far from this place, aliens be damned. He needed to get out of here alive. He needed to get out. 
When he said he wanted more answers about him, he didn't mean like this. This just gave him more questions, and made his teeth hurt. 
"I'm just in pain. A lot of fuckin' pain. I can keep going."
Gordon backed up, looking down guiltily. 
"Shit- sorry," he muttered. "...I... I-I dunno if you're...if you've got like, a fever- or how I'd check right now- but-" 
He paused and furrowed his brows. 
"...no...no your suit would treat you for that. Your suit would give you medicine if you got a virus or something- so you're..." 
He blinked, tilting his head the other way now, looking at Mind again. 
"...The fucks going on with you, man?"
Mind’s breath hitched. Shit.
"What are you, a fuckin' cop? Get off my ass about it, I don't need to tell you anything."
He wheezed again, raising his hand to his mouth. God, he felt horrible. Everything ached. He needed something. Pills, morphine, god he will take getting into a fight with someone just for the adrenaline at this point. 
"God I hate this."
Gordon stared at him, worry in his expression before his brows furrowed, and he huffed out his nose, pursing his lips. 
He looked away and opened his mouth to speak, failing a few times in a row, as if he were trying to say something more calm and nice, before looking right back at Mind, lips drawn back in a snarl. 
"You DO need to tell me!" He snapped. "So I can fucking HELP you! You just THREW UP and you expect me not to fucking do anything!?" 
He made an angry, and pained noise, turning his hands towards the ground so they could push him up onto his feet- which made him hiss in pain, but he stood, staring down at Mind with gritted teeth. 
"You're fucking hiding shit and it's setting us back! If you- if you can't trust me how the fuck am I supposed to trust you!?"
That made Mind shut the fuck up. Very suddenly he was Listening Intently, shoulders raised and curling in on himself.
He felt sick again. How his stupid body could even do that to him after already throwing up was a wonder and a curse.
His voice was very quiet when he answered.
"You wanna fuckin know so badly? Fine. I need Oxy, I haven't had pills in days and was banking on the stash I had here, but someone must have fuckin' snitched, cause I couldn't find shit in my locker. Everything hurts and aches, I feel sick and gross and I have had a killer fuckin headache since the stupid rescas even happened."
He growled at Gordon slightly, defensive.
"I wasn't gonna bring shit up because it doesn't matter. I've dealt with withdrawals before, I'm not useless. I know what I'm doing."
Gordon flinched, and blinked at him. 
"...Ohhh. Oh shit-" He said, looking to the ground. "...Ohhh fuck that's- not good! Okay- well, thanks for telling me-" He paused. "...Your suit has morphine, y'know."
Mind's expression withered.
"I am... I am very aware. I'm apparently not in enough pain for it to give me it."
God, he was not having a good time here.
"...Uh," Gordon played with his hands. "...I...look, I-I've never really- gotten the time to look at the blueprints for the HEV suit other than the uh. medical module- mostly so I could uh- know what the fuck it was doing- I...I can see if I can...trick yours into giving you a little? If it'll help?"
Mind yawned again, but his eyes went wide.
"I don't know if I fully trust you to do that."
He weighed his options though, and man he really needed something.
"... Sure."
"...Alright, cool, uh-" 
Gordon moved to scoot closer, before pausing. 
"...Do you still need space, or?"
Mind didn't answer, instead just moving closer to Gordon himself. Being in the same position was starting to kill his muscles.
Gordon sat there, still playing with his hands. 
"...Uh, y-you need to turn around."
He did so without complaint!... Towards Gordon. He was hissing practically the entire time about his joints.
Gordon let out a small, good-natured chuckle. 
"Thanks," he said, before tilting his head at the module. Four screws...
Ideally, he really, really would've liked a screwdriver right now. But he didn't have one. 
...He did have a combat knife he found off of a soldier, though-! 
Twirling it in his hand a few times, he looked at the screws, lined up the tip of it, and made a noise of triumph when it fit! He didn't fucking expect that! Oh my god- why did it-? Nevermind. Didn't matter, he got right to work unscrewing the cover.
"What is that noise for, what did you do-"
Mind was so incredibly uncomfortable with the position he was in. He did not like having potential enemies out of his line of sight, but he couldn't complain about shit or he wasn't getting that sweet sweet relief.
"Nothing- nothing I just- didn't expect the-" Oh, don't tell Mind you had a knife against his back. "Don't worry about it, we're making progress." 
He took off the cover, and if Mind could see him, his eyes would light up a little at the sight. He stuck his tongue out as he focused, trying to be quick for the guy but genuinely fascinated by the machinery. Black Mesa sucked, but the soldiering of the wires was amazing. 
After a few moments, he found a small screen, and an even smaller keypad- annoyingly small. He made a noise of frustration as he decided to use the tip of the knife instead of pressing them with his gloved, giant fingers. 
"Shit...The manual override is locked with a passcode," he muttered. "Uh...Hmm. Okay, gimme a sec, I'm going hackermode."
Mind snorted, trying to keep himself from shaking too much.
"What the fuck do you mean by that-"
"It means I'm trying to crack the damn passcode. Sorry, this might take a WHILE, it- wait what." 
He paused, before letting out a long, long sigh. 
"Was the passcode SERIOUSLY 1234?"
Mind Cackled.
"THERE IS NO WAY THAT IS THE PASSCODE. YOU'RE FUCKING WITH ME."
He was in so much pain. And the number holding him back from pain relief was the easiest to guess thing in the world.
"That doesn't even surprise me! Knowing this place, it's probably the code to other things too."
"Let's- lets use that code for everything, now. Fuck it!" Gordon laughed, a grin on his face. 
There was a few rounds of beeping, before he let out a sigh. 
"...Okay, uh- th-the suit uh, has the automatic amount to um- it's automatically a decently high dosage for uh, your weight, I think? It should be the same amount I was given, but uh, I-I'm worried about...it messing with you too much. Are you sure you'll be alright? I can lower the dosage," 
The expression Mind made at the thought of lowering the dosage was something to behold. It took everything in him to be casual about this.
"I can handle it. I don't think this thing accounts for muscle and joint pain, and if it does the threshold is incredibly fuckin high."
"...Okay, man, but uh- let me know if you need me to- I-I dunno. Lemme know if we need to stop for the day cause you feel too fucked up, okay...?" He said. "...Are you ready?"
"Gordon. Please just give me it."
Mind sounded a little out of it.
Gordon stared at him for a moment. 
"...alright man." 
He pressed the confirm button, and watched Mind carefully, making sure he had no adverse reactions.
Mind let out a shaky breath, honest to god about to cry over this. Finally.
It took a minute for the morphine to kick in, but the second that he could feel it he visibly relaxed, pupils dilated. It wasn't as high as his normal dosage for shit like this, but it was close enough to get rid of the pain, and for that alone he was thankful. If he can get through a bit more of Black Mesa without feeling dizzy or sick, he'd be golden.
"Thank you."
Gordon felt himself swallow and looked at the ground. 
"...Right, yeah, of course-" He said. "...Sorry it took me so long to notice you were going through it, man." 
He started to put the cover back on, screwing everything back into place.
" 's fine, wasn't exactly jumping to tell you 'bout it."
Mind seemed... Chiller, honestly. A little disconcerting from his previous demeanor but that's drugs for you. 
He was tapping against the ground now, mostly just to do something with his hands.
"...I can get why. I-I'm a little worried, but I'm not going to judge you, or anything." 
He let out a sigh once the panel was back on, tight as he could get it, and he rubbed at his face. 
"...Are you still mad at me?"
Mind stretched a little, shoulders popping.
"Nnnope. It's just a clip anyway, we'll probably find like... A million more from the military around here."
"Wh- really?? Just like that??" Gordon blinked a few times, tilting his head. Mind turned to face him, a little confused.
"Yeah? Told you, man, 's just the clip I was pissed off about."
"...Okay, that's...alright." He let out a sigh, before struggling to get up again. He grimaced, still not liking walking on that knee. He took a moment to adjust, before stiffening, staring at something behind Mind, who looked over as well, seeing nothing.
After a few moments, Gordon shook his head and whispered something to himself, something about not questioning your own insanity. 
"Let's try to catch up!" He said, eyeing the pipes the others had walked on, and climbing on.
Mind stood up, shaking his hands out a bit as he did. 
He looked at the pipes with a grimace.
"Y' sure you can climb that with your fucked up leg? Don't think the HEV suit can protect you if you fall into the radiation pit."
“I’ll just take it slow,” Gordon huffed. ”Fuck it, right? We’re both drugged up enough, we can figure it out.”

2, 3, 4, 8, 12, 13, 15, 17, 18, 22, 25, 30
Thank ya :3
2. What is your favorite color?
I think it's orange now, lol. It was purple for a long time though. I guess they tie
3. Do you feel more connected to the moon or the sun?
Hm.. interesting question. My knee-jerk reaction was to say the moon, but maybe that's just cause I like it better XD When I think of sunrises and sunsets, and all that the sun can symbolize and represent, I feel more drawn to it. But then I remember how BLAZING HOT it is, and I'm instantly repulsed XDDD
4. Have you ever wished on a shooting star?
Yes. Well, I kinda half-wish and half-pray, lol ^^
8. Do you believe in guardian angels?
Mmm, not really. But it'd be nice too, I like the idea. (Also, I do believe that God could send an angel to save you if He decided to, lol. But I don't think we all have like, an assigned angel to watch over us)
12. Name a song that makes you feel ethereal.
Veni Veni, Emmanuel. (That is to say, O Come O Come Emmanuel, but specifically in Latin) Also, though to a bit lesser extent, There Beneath by The Oh Hellos andddddd... I think Atlantic by Sleeping at Last? Or Arctic? I always get those two mixed up, lol.
13. What’s your ideal summer aesthetic?
Ideal summer aesthetic? I'm having a hard time pinning this down somehow, lol.
Shared ice cream, card games after dinner, watching new movies or cartoons throughout the summer, exploring new places, city or forest, without fear of getting lost. Blackberries in June, fireflies at night, and the days are 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit with a nice breeze. Heavy thunderstorms in the middle of the season. It's not muggy and buggy all throughout.
Does all that count as an answer? I think that'd be my ideal summer XD
15. Talk about something exciting or good that happened to you this year.
Tbh we're almost halfway through the year, but I feel like it barely started yet XD OH WAIT, I went to my first Comicon this year!! It was a small one (well, small compared to SDCC I'm sure, lol) and my shoulder was kinda hurting the whole time, but it was SUCH A BLAST! It was just fun walking around and looking at everything, all the stalls and booths and cosplayers, and there was like a Game Hall where we played Smash Bros against some other nerds (I lost, (cause some dingaling started chattering and DISTRACTED ME >:U) but it was super fun XD) I bought a couple posters, a small music box, and a comic! There's gonna be another one in the same place later this year, I hope we'll get to go again! X3
(I'll admit we did get a sick, as is the usual case with conventions, from what I hear, but it wasn't too bad. My only regret from the whole thing is that Mom's senses of smell and taste took a pretty bad hit, I think they still haven't fully recovered... >>;;;;)
17. What is something you own that is important to you? What makes it so important?
My red hat for one, lol. (That's right, I really do own that hat I always draw myself wearing XD) It's just hugely sentimental to me really, I've had it for so many years. Even before we moved out here to the country. I just saw it in the store one day, and I thought it was funny cause it reminded me of Mario's hat. I think I put it on and I was like "Hey Mom, look! :D" and she just.. bought it for me XD Totally on a whim. I know I didn't expect her to, and I was surprised when she did, but man I've fallen in love with it over the years. It lost it's buttons, and it's been stitched up a couple times, and the original color and softness has looooooong since faded, but I still cherish it, just cause I've had it for so long, it's become a part of me. <3
18. Do you believe dreams have meanings or are they completely random?
I do believe that dreams can represent a lot of what's going on in your mind (all things depending) But I think most of them are random, lol
22. What do you like most about nature?
I guess how lovely it is XD That and how much care God put into making it X3 (Oh, and how resilient it it XDDD Idk how many trees we've cut down to a stump and it just wound up growing again, LOL)
25. What’s a song that gives off good vibes anytime you listen to it?
Does Wonderwall by Oasis count? Cause I know I'm just biased toward it, but I mean, it is a bop XD OH OH WAIT I KNOW, Everybody Wants To Rule The World. The original version, from Tears For Fears. Idk how many decades it's still SO GOOD
30. What do you do to feel at peace?
Hm.. Idk tbh. I guess I put on a Let's Play and try to drown out whatever's bugging me, lol.
Thanks Anon! :3

Why the WATGBS manga was disappointing
Tumblr media
(im gonna use capitalization and punctuation, not like my usual typing style, bc i think it looks better)
Did you know there was a WATGBS manga? I’m sure many have known, but for the ones who haven't’, it’s true! And damn, did it hype the shit out of everyone. On August 13th 2015, Funamusea / DSP officially started work on the Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea manga. It had promise! Funamusea was already a pretty well loved creator. Well, at least their work was well loved. We can point out that other stuff later, though. Their games got popular and a good following, spawning a big fandom with art, fanfics, and even blogs dedicated to them! Wink wink.
Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea was one of those games, coming out December 12th 2013. So we do have a good couple years of hype already built for this beloved game. With the fandom growing and fans wanting more and more content...the next step was pretty obvious. This couple come with better art, and hell, maybe some fresh story telling! Answers to things we want! Characters seen more and more! Funamusea is no stranger to mangas. They have another one, Obsolete Dream, which has a good following as well! Same with small comics on the side for their other works. So, this was promising. Everyone was so excited!
Now...excuse my language, but...
WHAT THE FUCK WENT WRONG.
Tumblr media
Before I delve into this shitshow, first I want to get some stuff outta the way:
I am no way a professional reviewer or whatever. I’m simply a fan who has been interested in WATGBS since 2014, around when it was translated into English. WATGBS was my very first game into the fandom, and has a lot of importance to me. I’m just sharing my opinion on this matter.
Spoilers are ahead for the game and manga. So, be careful!
Again, please keep in mind that I’m not saying I’m absolutely right about my analysis here. Did I say something wrong? You can correct me. Did I leave something out? You can correct me! I want to hear your opinions as well!
With this said, lets start with at least an overview of the games plot, shall we?
Tumblr media
Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea has a simple plot that isn’t too hard to follow. To be honestly I actually started on a very, very long winded and detailed overview...then I started resorting to going onto a walkthrough.
Here’s the video if you want to watch. It’s...6 hours long, but you can easily just jump around.
TL;DR? I’ll try to make a small version for you
Wadanohara is a sea witch who lives in the Sea Kingdom with her familiars; Fukami, Memoca, and Dolphi. Samekichi was a familiar of hers who apparently became a traitor and now tells her to leave the sea for some unknown reason.
She goes to Princess Uomi who wants her to restore the moonstones, which keep a barrier around the Sea Kingdom to protect it after there was a war with the Sea of Death. The Sea of Death war was between Uomi and her sister, Mikotsu, who was angry that she wasn’t chosen to be princess. Meikai, Wadanohara’s father, was the Great Sorcerer who sacrificed himself to seal the Sea of Death away, becoming the Cast Pearl. The moonstones need restored because the other kingdom, the Tosatsu Kingdom, is apparently mad at them for some unknown reason and keep sending in troops to hurt and/or kill. And, the moonstones where broken for an unknown reason.
After restoring the moonstones (with a ring Sal gave you, this will be important later) Wadanohara comes back and has a party thrown for her. Everything seems fine, then Wadanohara runs into Laurentia, a demon who was hired by the Tosatsu Kingdom. They break the barrier and shit goes down.
Princess Tosatsu has her army completely take over the place and starts a war. Wadanohara rushes to the castle to protect Uomi, while also running into the Merc Trio (Laurentia, Ver Million, and Vendetto) along the way, and when she get’s there it’s too late. Tosatsu is already there and ready to kill Uomi. But then, Uomi somehow calms her down and they hug it out. It’s super cute? It’s adorable.
Then we know why Princess Tosatsu was so angry. Apparently, the kingdom was killing her subjects and left a note to antagonize Tosatsu. But, no one ever knew of this. Wadanohara suddenly starts seeing red and runs outside to Tatsumiya.
Then, the cast pearl shatters.
Hey surprise surprise, Sal is the traitor all along!! And Samekichi was trying to protect you in the most emo way he can. After all that, the Sea of Death comes and...
You know.
This doesn’t even matter when it comes to the manga. You know why?
It was canceled before we even get past the part where Princess Tosatsu and Princess Uomi make up.
Tumblr media
Yup.
The manga was officially canceled by 12 chapters. But here’s the kicker. How do you fit all of THAT up there into just 12 chapters? Simple! You dumb everything down. You take out the padding needed for the game, so the manga isn’t so long drawn out and gets to the good stuff.
Which, that’s not a problem. Writing down a story and playing a game is different. In a game, so much padding out and being somewhat slow for gameplay is going to happen. It’s not a game without gameplay. Even if the gameplay is going isle to isle to fix every moonstone on there.  In a manga, you can’t exactly convey the same feeling as a game feeling. You are going to have to rewrite! But, Funamusea made some mistakes here and there.
They’ve taken out characters. Miyura, Seguro, Minero, Creamil, Rimorimo, Tomoshibi, Laurentia, Ver Million, Vendetto, not even Cherryblod or Doloz show up in the manga at all! This has some ups and downs to it.
Ups: Minero and her crew are honestly not really involved in the story. Same with Miyura and Seguro. Cherryblod and Doloz did have some involvement in the game, but it was very small and not needed in a written story.
Downs: The Merc Trio WAS important! They where actually VERY fucking important! And even though the others aren’t important to the plot, they’re already characters in the lore! They should have at least been shown to exist in the manga. Irena and Aom where shown...but, they’re background characters too! Aom only spoke a small handful of times! Why do they get special treatment?
Back to the answer to my question though...dumbing everything down. Funamusea fucked this up. VERY badly. 
Tumblr media
Princess Tosatsu was the most useless villain in the manga.
She was! And here’s how.
By chapter 5, this is when you first hear about the Tosatsu Kingdom threat. They’re attacking the kingdom for unknown reasons, and even fight Wadanohara and her gang! You finally get to see this in action by chapter 6. You see a huge crown of Tosatsu Soldiers attacking and being wiped away by...Samekichi. Not Wadanohara.
Some rewrites are fine here and there, and this is an okay rewrite. Right when Wadanohara leaves the castle in the end of chapter 5, chapter 6 instantly starts with them attacking. Samekichi appears and helps them by protecting Wadanohara from a hoard of buns. We get to see how Samekichi seems to resent Wadanoahara...but his true feelings are masked away. It’s a good rewrite that I personally see no issues with.
BUT! Back to Princess Tosatsu being a terrible villain in the manga.
So a couple chapters pass. Wadanohara goes out to restore the moonstones and that’s pretty much all that goes on. I mean...in one of the chapters Fukami beats the shit out of Samekichi. It does show that Fukami cares a LOT of Wadanohara though..so it at least has a reason to be there. By chapter 9, we’re already at the part where they celebrate the moonstones being fixed. I didn’t exactly skip much...
And, by the end of chapter 9, Wadanoahra leaves the party to see Samekichi. The cast pearl shines brightly suddenly and Samekichi runs up to the surface. Wadanohara follows and is impaled by a Tosatsu soldier spear... Where originally Laurentia was supposed to appear.
Now things get not only weird with the rewriting, but it’s EXTREMELY RUSHED.
Chapter 10 has Wadanoahara waking up, going to where Fukami and Dolphi are fighting soldiers, and Princess Tosatsu shows up. There’s only a small build up for her appearance, for being hinted of in chapter 5 and 7, but it’s a pretty interesting reveal. Suddenly, a new and menacing character just appears before Wadanohara. Having someone else unkown with her (Being Hofuru), they suddenly just disappear as more soldiers surround the gang, ending the chapter...
It’s honestly super cool! You don’t know much other than this girl is out for blood. It’s tense!
But...alas...chapter 11 comes. Keep in mind this is not ONLY the second to last chapter, but the last one isn’t even about the main story! It’s backstory!
Remember how in the game there was the Merc Trio? They not only caused havoc to stall Wadanohara and her gang, but Ver Million is a friend of Wadanohara’s! There was some interesting character building...how does Wadanohara know a demon of all characters? It gets people thinking! They’re not in the manga. At all. Oh! How about how you had to rush to the castle with time on your heels, the suspense of making it riding the story and keeping you invested? Wadanohara is literally shot right into the castle room by Chlomaki after 3 pages into the 14 paged chapter. There’s no rush. No suspense. Wadanohara is instantly there.
But, maybe Wadanohara got there just in time! And she did! She is ready to fight for her princess a-
Tumblr media
..Oh.
She’s instantly smacked aside.
O..kay, I guess. This can be suspenseful, right? Maybe if she put up more of a fight.
Then Princess Uomi shows up. Talks to Princess Tosatsu. And instantly hugs her. Tosatsu cries and makes up. 
Chapter 11 ends. And so does the manga.
Tumblr media
This...is disappointment. Chapter 12 isn’t even important to this, so I won’t even talk about it.
Keep in mind that these chapters are 15 pages MAX. That’s nothing for mangas! You blow through these updates, that at the time, came at sudden random weeks at a time! The wait isn’t even worth it. There’s nothing to hold this story. Absolute NOTHING. Suspense of Princess Tosatsu? Nonexistent till the end of chapter 10, which is then instantly wrapped up in the next chapter. Anything else? You get nothing. The manga is canceled.
This is not how you do a manga adaptation. All you can say about this manga is that it answers meaningless and small questions, and it has pretty art.
Wadanohara is a weak little cute girl. One who was even appreciated by Idate for her strength is just a cute face for Samekichi to protect.  Fukami, Memoca, and Dolphi feel more like side characters. Fukami has more character, but Dolphi is literally unimportant to the story. She barely even talks. Samekichi gets only slight character development, but the most out of everyone. He’s seen smiling, emoting, and caring for Wadanohara when he’s trying to chase her away. 
That’s it.
In the prologue, you actually get to know why she went to Witch World. To restore her memories. It does leave a question, for those who haven’t played the game, of what is she trying to restore? And it answers the question of why she was gone in the first place, for those who have played the game. It’s a good bit of info that does foreshadow.
But you’re not gonna get that shit now!
After a very short chapter with promises of learning more about Wadanohara and Samekichi’s relationship, Funamusea officially stated they’re not going to continue the manga due to it being “too stressful”. Which is a valid, yet heartbreaking, reason. But...is it the real reason? Some people doubt it.

This is the era I called the Satanivlis era. Well...it’s not exactly an era? But, it’s something I will bring up.
There’s been some speculation on why Funamusea really did cancel the manga. This suspicious thinking came from when Funamusea announced The Gray Garden to have a remake, seem to have gone pretty well into development, then suddenly cancel it.
Around the same time, Funamusea suddenly started to work on a comic about Satanick, Ivlis, Kcalb, Etihw, and Siralos. It seemed like just a tiny preoccupation for Funamusea. This is fine and dandy! They can do whatever they please. But, then this is when they started drawing heavy amounts of Satanivlis (Satanick x Ivlis) after making a lovechild for them, Licorice.
The problem with this is how MUCH we are seeing this. And it’s not just shipping art. No, it’s r*pe fetish art. Many, MANY amounts of r*pe fetish art suddenly pours into their website. This continues for quite some time.
Till very recently (as of making this its March 26th, 2017), they start showing previews of what looks like to be a manga... Funamusea makes a yaoi r*pe fetish manga that’s for SALE suddenly, out of the blue. And this is why everyone is suspicious.
Funamusea makes the WATGBS manga for fans. The updates are slow, the chapters are rushed, and then it’s suddenly canceled for being “too stressful”. We get no more info on it. Unknown if they will continue or not. No real communication or hope for the manga to ever be good.
Then after months of updates involving Ivlis being r*ped as a joke or to look sexual, and even being r*ped by his own child, we get a manga. Out of no where. Just for the fun of it.
Funamusea is the problem with this whole situation. Why the manga was shit, and why we got nothing but the same shit over and over again. Funamusea doesn’t communicate. Funamusea doesn’t realize they have a fanbase that sticks around to see more of content they love, or new content to love.

I’m making chrome crash with how long this is. So I’m going to stop.
TL;DR: Funamusea sucks at writing and cares more about their yaoi ships than their fans.
