After I had my wisdom teeth removed I spent a week eating applesauce to the point where I can no longer stomach applesauce. I really should have had it done in China, I guess.

Yeah, this breaks my suspension of disbelief. You don't just walk out of dental surgery all put together and pretty. The protagonist can't be shown looking a little messed up even in such circumstances? Is the taboo against not constantly conforming to cisheteronormative beauty standards really that strong?

I hate to take issue with people insisting on realism, but when I had my wisdom teeth removed, all four, I looked basically normal right afterwards. My mouth hurt and I was careful what I ate for a few days . . . uhhh, less careful than I should have been . . . but mostly I was fine. Went to a restaurant and had steak fajitas three days later.
I probably wasn't going to be hitting any bars the same evening, but I LOOKED ok.

The series blurb on Mangadex says it is the first-love crush.

I was kind of expecting that actually. Because Chinese manga never miss an opportunity to do that bit.

laughing at these replies because i was just as "wtf". like, you can speak?! i remember after mine i couldn't move my lips for hours and kept coughing up blood. these CN longstrip lesbians really are built different

Lmao i think chinese are just built different in general. I was practically back to normal around 3 hours after my wisdom teeth removal.

Apparently we all need to go to china for our wisdom teeth removals

When I was getting my wisdom teeth removed, my girlfriend told me to let her know when I was out and that everything was okay. I woke up after my surgery, still zonked out of my mind, and they were like "Hey everything went well!" and I went "great, can you hand me my phone please?" and I texted my girlfriend to let her know I was okay.

Later, I found out that I had, instead, sent her a message that just said "tooth".

I then spent the next 24 hours pretty much drinking my own blood as my mouth continued to bleed. So yea, I'm a little offended too lol

My bottom teeth wisdom teeth removal was a nightmare. Granted my first dentist wasn't that good and the second one was just bloody and swollen for a day or so.

All wisdom teeth were impacted but the upper ones were mild and so I left it for later.

BUT eventually I had both the upper ones removed at the same time and I could eat normally later that day. My then new dentist was so good I didn't feel any pain at all and I wasn't really swollen. I dunno about not being disheveled at all but it might just be possible lol

I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed in 2 weeks but I guess I should move it to a Chinese dental clinic if it's gonna be that easy there

Mine was the same, except there wasn't really any pain. My care instructions were just to not dislodge the clot. I could have gone to a bar if I wanted.

Depending on how they grow in, it can be like a normal extraction, just with a bigger hole left afterward. Technically still surgery, but not the type were someone would seem out of it after. It's not like when your wisdom teeth are impacted or similar.

Well, MC's wisdom teeth were hurting so there's a good chance they were impacted. Also I don't think you were literally running around and talking normally the 1st day too

I find it confusing you would doubt this since it would be a strange thing for me to lie about on the internet.

In my case, it was local anesthesia (lidocaine iirc) so yes, I was moving around normally. I had numbness directly after, but it faded quickly. I wasn't talking a lot, but I'm the type of person who spends their free time posting on a web 1.0 style forum discussing fringe comics. I talked my typical amount and in fact more than I did today.

We know MCs teeth were more problematic than mine for the reasons you pointed out, but I don't find it that unbelievable that she could take these actions later in the day. People have different pain tolerances and different responses to anesthesia, while we can surmise her procedure was was not very invasive precisely because she could take these actions. Though the dentist may criticize her some for not resting more, especially since not drinking alcohol was something she was specifically instructed not to do.

Edit: There was also one time I had general anesthesia for a different procedure, went to a restaurant, and had spicy Thai food afterward with no ill effect. I was more out of it than with lidocaine, but not to the extent an outsider observer would notice. It give you an idea of what is possible in these types of scenarios. Obviously it's not going to be like this all the time or for all people. I have seen a family member have a far worse response to anesthesia, actually for wisdom tooth removal. Now that I'm older general anesthesia does seem to be a bit harder on me as well. My point is that this varies.

My first removal was multiple teeth, I don't really remember it since the drugs didn't knock me out but did prevent memory formation so my consciousness jumps from "take pills" to "wake up in bed, confused". (And someone had to take me home.) I guess I ate smoothies a lot.

Second was one impacted tooth, they gave nitrous only, I was let out the door and took the bus home. I don't remember recovery details much other than using tea bags as blood absorbers.

Wisdom teeth removal vary in pain. I had to be put under cause they had to operate but I had no pain. Also super relatable on not following aftercare instructions. I ate ice cream and soup after mine cause I was craving it

The series blurb on Mangadex says it is the first-love crush.

I thought that was obvious from the moment the first love was mentioned, even before we were actually shown her.

So jealous, all the doctors within a 100 km radius of me are old crusty dudes

When I was getting my wisdom teeth removed, my girlfriend told me to let her know when I was out and that everything was okay.

@thread: there was a period when I was a bit too concerned with my appearance and went to a salon to have my eyebrows done every month. It actually hurt a lot. But the lady who usually attended to me was, um.

I'll just say I can confirm one's capacity for gay panic is not at all disturbed by the physical pain they're in at the moment.

So far the MC's mouth's looking pretty healthy and the doc's looking pretty gay. Promising, I'd say.

I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed in 2 weeks but I guess I should move it to a Chinese dental clinic if it's gonna be that easy there

It's been a few hours since my extraction, right now I'm doped up on 3 pain meds and mouth is filled up with gauze, saliva, and blood. I was put under general anesthesia so I couldn't walk out normally, I had to be wheeled out to the car. My brother called me after the procedure and couldn't understand a word I was saying. Lastly my post-op instructions say not to use a straw for the first 7 days, it could unlodge the blood clot and cause a dry socket which would cause pain.

This is all to say that that only explanation for the events in the comic is that the MC's wisdom teeth where removed with magic.
