That said, if they did stay together, would that even work in China? Would Wei Wei be likely to lose her job even if Ding Yi was older? I know China is on the middle of a media crackdown on LGBT stuff like this very comic. Would they have to hide? Or move overseas?

It's not illegal (anymore) but there'd be no support of any kind. No adoption of children or anything either. And I don't think those "adult adoption" tricks that have been done in Japan are possible in China.

I guess the age gap might actually be useful to hide their relationship? Everybody would probably first assume they are relatives or something. I'd suspect with Wei Wei working in health care it'd be risky to come out at work (stupid as people are but that's the kind of thing were bigots are particularly touchy about having LGBT workers).

What is a foreign voucher that dr.wei said in ch.11?

Interesting question. They're called Foreign Exchange Certificates and they were used in the past in China as an alternative form of currency, rather than letting foreigners have direct access to yuan.

I'm not sure why Wei Wei would have had to use them though.

I see. :o Thank you very much! :D

Every time, again and again, I'm just perplexed, flabbergasted, blown away by this author's art. Amazingly emotional and beautiful. I can feel it.

This is true art.

Hot!

Wei Wei was making fun of their huge age gap bc young ppl (Dings age) wouldn't know what a foreign voucher is.

Truly. Sometimes I just open up a random chapter and start re-reading. Like I did earlier today.

And, as you said, it’s not just the way the art looks, either—the pacing in that chapter with the ex-girlfriend in the cafe was just superb.

And it updates once again! This is my favorite story on the site. This chapter was so gorgeous, but so much white space and just sorta... nothing, I guess? It solidifies the ex's presence in the story, and now I'm scared for the girl, but I doubt the ex would do anything horrible. Maybe. She might bring legal stuff into this. Naaah, this story isn't that dramatic, right?

The L is for Luigisbians

Whoa. Fucking powerful. I've read somewhere that this chapter was, at some extent, an autobibliography. That it was about a personal experience from the author that made her very emotional talking about it.

Now, I don't know if any of that is true. Maybe i should search for it. Nevertheless, still a very strong use of imagery and introspective here. Very good chapter.

L for Loser... that's what she is, 'cause she didnt bet on love and went to marry and be unhappy

A real fool indeed..

L for Loser... that's what she is, 'cause she didnt bet on love and went to marry and be unhappy

It could actually be for a lot of things:

Beloved Lady
Beloved Lesbian
Beloved Loli
Beloved Lolicon
Beloved Lass
Beloved Life
Beloved Lips
Beloved Light
Beloved Lie
Beloved Liaison
Beloved Liberty
Beloved Lust
Beloved Lure
Beloved Legend
Beloved Look
Beloved Llama (I personally think it's this one)

Wow, chapter 16 is somewhat painful.

Eesh, talk about taking someone's presence for granted and then losing them entirely.

Ah, that was so sad.

The long wait was absolutely worth it. One of the best chapters I've ever read.

Beloved Lady...

Or maybe it's Beloved Lu. Doctor x Doctor is the inevitable end game?!

I don't know how to say this( I'm not good with words) but even if the chapters are short the different expressions the characters have and how the creater puts words together, I feel like they say so much. I love it!

T____T but i want wei wei to end up with ding yi

Every time a new chapter of this comes out I fall in love with this series again. Gorgeous and vibrant and so very painful.

I think only in the last panel, Dr. Lu is now referring to herself. She is a fool.

Great, great stuff. Telling the story not only through text, but also through the art - exactly as visual storytelling should do.

I still feel bad for the "Fool". Yes, yes, she messed up, and she'd better get over that, but people make mistakes. She just needs to find somebody for herself (clearly not her current husband unless this is some midlife crisis thing and she otherwise actually likes him).
