Well it's a yaoi manga...of course it'll escalate fast, lol
but I agree with chuu~~
I agree that it was wrong of him to do that, BUT, now hear me out. Try to look at it from Itou's point of view.
He had just had an argument with his kid and he ran away, for an HOUR! Can u imagine how scared he had been? The horrible things that would go through your mind of what could happen to your young child while he/she is unprotected. It would be one of the most terrifying things for a parent.
Then he finds out that a man he trusted didn't inform him right away when he found said child would hurt too.
Now again, I agree what he did was wrong, but given the adrenaline, the fear, and the hurt and sudden anger, it was kinda understandable too.
Also, he did apologize right away too, it wasn't like Takashi crawled to him either. Given the situation, I am happy that they worked it out :)
No justification for violence. I do not care if adrenaline and all that nonsense. Been there before. But once you smack someone else, you take a way the right of their own body, same as sexual assault. You have no right to smack someone unless it's self defense. So please never try to justify it again.
Sexual assault and a slap are not the same thing to start with. I am sorry you have had a horrible experience with something, but saying that 1 slap and sexual assault are ANYTHING alike is very wrong to me. It is like saying spanking a child is the same as abuse.
Now as I was saying to start with, I was not justifying it, I said over and over that it was wrong what he did, but that it was a HUMAN thing to do. He was at least repentant, knew he had done wrong, and apologized without prompting.
And again, not justifying, but I think anyone who has kids and puts themselves in his shoes would be more understanding. When a child is that young and alone you have no clue if someone is abusing them, if they are hurt, or even died while you were unable to help them. It would be extreme stress and that causes HUMANS to do stupid things we would normally think VERY wrong.
And sorry, some people need violence. I am personally one of those who thinks you should spank bad children, not to the point of abuse, do not twist my meaning, but some people learn better that way.
Anyway. I doubt we will agree here, so I suggest we decide to agree to disagree from here on. Best wishes to you
They weren't saying there was a justification for violence. However, given the situation it's understandable why the father lost control of his emotions because he was desperately worried about his child. Humans will be humans and we make mistakes but at least he realized this and apologized right away. If it becomes a habit, of course that's a problem and there's no justification. But a one time deal, given the circumstances, is understandable. I think I might lose my temper that fast if someone I valued and trusted didn't tell me they had my child for an entire 30 minutes. And I agree with @Dema sexual assault is in no way comparable to 1 slap. That's just my opinion though.
Thank you very much for understanding what I was saying ^_^
i highly agree with this lol, i didn’t even know that was in chapter 1 since the pages are all together. Like I’m used to this kind of fast-paced stories but- I think this the one went wayyyyy to fast for me :v
i dont want to continue reading this after takahashi forgave itou after all of those harsh words and a slap. at least, omg, dont escalate too fastttt.
