I couldn’t agree more. This just didn’t sit well with me.
I completely agree. Ppl are saying this is a beautiful story but tbh if he loved katsuya that much(at least in present time) he would've reported karoda this time around. Last time, he was in love with the guy, which, while not an excuse, gives him a reason. This time karoda tried to kill katsuya and he still didn't say anything. Wow. How selfish. And then, he never confesses his mutual love and leads katsuya into thinking their fucking out of guilt for TWO years. And still, to this day(as of recent extras) Tooru has not confessed back. Just...wow. What a bullshit uke.
IKR
You seriously get what I mean. Well, all we can do now is read up on works with decent ukes for healing. Hahaha
Lol yep. I had to go on a healing session after this with all my favorite ukes out of frustration since this manga was a disappointment
Being a realist, I agree with you guys. Tooru is guilty as the accomplice bylaw again and over again. If the first time he couldn't fix it or not in time, he has a chance the second time but chose to ignore the laws regarding someone died and attempted murder. The whole story it's more like he protects himself not less than protects Kuroda. The first time accident occurred, if he chose to protect Kuroda, not telling the police, he did worse thing by adopting Katsuya out of guilt. If someone else adopted him, it might lead Katsuya to different path of life or better. This is my view as the parent. For Tooru to adopt Katsuya, I don't see it's a good deed but to trap Katsuya with him to relieve his own guilt, and to protect the one he loves, Kuroda, at the time and himself. The pure and only victim all the way here is Katsuya. Fiction, I can't see the story beautiful. The uke got brickbrain or something. The manga is longer than many out there, but saying the uke loves Katsuya at the end, not convincing at all since the feeling of guilt has dominated his kindness to Katsuya for many years.
yeah this was so annoying to read, I get it, it's fiction, but still
...apparently, they don't really matter.
1. Escaping from a murder to another country.
2. Being an accomplice by keeping quiet about it.
3. Never telling anyone, even those involved.
4. Never saying anything while being called admirable for doing "selfless" things like raising someone else's kid when in fact, it's the kid of someone they killed.
5. Never saying anything to deny things like "being pushed down" and seeming like a victim, when in fact it was at that moment that his past sins were uncovered.
5. Having the chance to but never letting the perpetrator take responsibility. Exactly why did they never go to the police about the hit-and-run incident even after knowing who the culprit was?
6. Always taking advantage of someone's guilt out of love.
7. Never confessing when doing so might have lessened the burden on the other person.
What is with everyone?
P.S.: Anyone who says Tooru is innocent and has suffered enough should realize the fact that he has witnessed a murder of a mother, watched as the killer drove away, and then kept quiet for so many years about it. And when the killer came back and kidnapped Katsuya, wasn't it a perfect time to call the police and at least take a little responsibility for things?
