So obvious the mother's not right in the head for all the things she's forcing onto her son and whatever she did to yeong gi. But it's odd and different to me that she actually wants to pair up her son with shin ae. And that she recognizes that meg's a dumb and uncouth girl, esp when compared to shin ae. So idk what to think of the mother
I kind of want a whole chapter or 2 on the mum. Just like, how she progressed from the nice mother she was, then a bitch, then getting married, attaining happiness, and how she started thinking about how momo is doing and coming to terms with it all. yeah we got panels on that, but it'd be nice to be it in more indepth you know? Because just how do you reconcile with the fact that you were making your 5 year old son selling himself?
That's impressive.
Sam distinguished the difference between sorry vs. guilt. I hadn't even thought of that
The dad's character really shows how society is today.
"It's fine if THEY'RE gay. Just not my kid"
It's the us vs. them mentality. I remember my sister-in-law asked my brother what he would do if their child was gay, and oh boy he was extremely hesitant (he has a bunch of good gay friends too), and said it's different when it's your child. My sister-in-law rebutted and said "no it's not".
It's the same concept as, "I'm not racist. I have a lot of Asian/Black friends".
Tsk tsk.
yes ! amen to that !

I think in some cases it is that--disapproval or disgust.
In others it's not wanting your kid to suffer. It's like, you might love and care for disabled people, but ifi it came down to your own baby in your womb, you would wish hard that it NOT be disabled so life would be easier, more "normal."
I think parents know that there is going to be some sort of roughness in the road for an LGBTQ person, and would wish not to have that suffering for their child.
But in other cases, it's as you say. They simply think this is "less than" and are put off by the idea altogether.
The fact that the man apologized and said he acted quite shamefully shows he's not horrible. A real homophobe would not have apologized or stopped to reconsider. They simply would have not given a damn they hurt someone.
totally right . there are definitely parents out there who worry for their children . But , even so , the fact that they worry and "prefer" a "normal" life for their child is , in itself , a rejection . Even if a parent was worried , above all they'd express understanding or wanting to understand to the help . In this manga's case , it's more of "who turned you that way" or "dont tell me you are that way" . And that implies homophobia , making homosexuality a sort of spreadable "illness" or something to avoid .
But yes , i still agree with you that not all cases are parents trying to be homophobic or against queer identities . however , in cases they antagonize the fact = homophobia .
after reading the chapter i can see where you're coming from . It does seem like he wants to be worried , but i don't rescind my analysis of his actions . I'd just like to add that even if people are not trying to be homophobic , there are still unconscious opinions of homophobia in everyone . So maybe it may seem like that's where the father is coming from . His actions though, were and are still homophobic .
Oh it ended. To be honest, it was quite a good ending, because it felt like it tied up loose ends. I like how the mangaka connected them back to the Ohga and the rest, by reaching out to his brother
For the love of God, I will flip my table with Luda ends up with the Chief. She'll die young with wrinkles and white hair if she ends up with him. If it were me I would've strangled him to death. Heck I wouldn't even care anymore, if he was going to repeat the day. I'd just find new ways to torture and kill him
I really hope that the baby wasn't a product of rape. That lavender-haired girl looks evil
judging from her reaction ie the crying i would not be shocked if she was not gang raped
I think we will be disappointed.
I hope the real ciel doesn't actually hate the spare ciel, the ciel we love. Hope the real one hasnt been fed false information but from the way it looks....
Yeah, i agree
But there is hope - real ciel said that he wouldn't leave "ciel" anymore.
But... his way of speaking to "ciel"... get it? It's a liiiiil bit rude
Ikr?
and let's not forget that probably he was the one who killed agni..
I'm guessing if zombie boy doesn't receive his needle injection, he'll eventually turn back into a real zombie?
i love the way this mangaka does things. haebom is precious, this zombie is precious as well. maybe all the mangas this person creates will have that one precious MC we wanna protect and love hue hue
