I was also duped by the fucking cover art of this manga. It looked like a god damn comedy BL. I was laughing until I wasn't.
And all this misunderstanding and distrust works is because it's historical and in a time where peace is unstable. A war can break anytime. They don't have phones or cctvs and etc to see who's telling the truth. So MC can't even prove himself and can only do so with time. You can't blame Nobunaga for it because of what's happening. I mean look, one of his confidants is about to betray him at some point.
I relate so bad but I couldnt bear to drop it cause I need to see whether ML will somehow realized or found out that mc never betrayed him.
Mc is so patient like omfg I could never
No fucking way I just fucking read this and it wasn't even completed. I would be less mad if these past chapters weren't the ML misunderstanding the MC and thinking he betrayed him. Jesus christ.
I thought it would end like a cliche, happy go lucky romance manga. I HOPED it would end like a cliche, happy go lucky romance manga. But no, we get angst, heartbreak, misunderstandings, distrust, and no feeling of relief when the MC went back to his life with the ML.
So, obviously, too soothe my mind, I will remember the end of this story as them killing that guy who shot the MC, and them living together happily ever after and watching the ML's sister's kids grow up happy too. Ofc, without all of the drama that just occurred in the past three chapters. The grow old together and die happy and without any regrets.
I actually refuse to believe anything else different.
(Also, fuck whoever reccomended this to me)
