I don't know if it was just me but I couldn't understand a thing about the last updates since I hadn't followed this for some time, I noticed other people couldn't understand either so I skimmed thorough this and MODS to make a guide with the characters and main events, I hope it can be of some help.
This obviously contains spoilers so don't read if you haven't reached chapter 6 yet
《Characters》
Haru: Was a simple lowlife who wanted to leech off a yakuza.
Yukitaka: Biological son of the Ichijou boss and legitimate heir of the group but isn't part of the group yet. Shigure's younger half-brother.
Shigure: Illegitimate son of the Ichijou boss but wasn't part of the group, rumors went around that he did the dirty work .
Shiro: MODS main character. He was working on a brothel as guarantee for his parents' debt but his father took the money he earned and ran away.
Yagami: Ichijou head.
Sasaki: Random yakuza, was Haru's lover.
《Storyline》
- Haru was a Sasaki's plaything and fell in love with Shigure.
- Sasaki got addicted to the drugs he was supposed to sell and ran away, but got caught and was banished.
- Haru joined the Ichijou group and started working under Yagami.
- Shigure was banished even though he wasn't supposed to be a yakuza. In the end, rumors of him doing dirty work were true, he didn't want to receive orders from his father anymore so he cut his own finger and left.
- Shigure started working at a mahjong parlor owned by Yagami.
*3 years later*
- Haru found Shiro (15) and asked Shigure to take care of him.
- Shigure started to get attached to Shiro so he made a promise with him to leave to a different town the next day and live a normal life but got run over by a car next to the meeting place, right before Shiro's eyes.
(It was said Shigure died because he knew too much so maybe he got killed because letting him escape to a different town was a risk to all that valuable information)
(But was it the Ichijou or a different group behind his death????? If it was the Ichijou then that means Shigure got killed by his own father)
- Haru felt guilty because he was the one who took Shiro to Shigure, he wouldn't have tried to run away and died if he never met Shiro and got attached to him.
- Shigure was the only person to ever show Shiro real kindness so his death scarred him deeply, he couldn't stop selling himself and went back to his old life.
(Haru was sleeping when Shigure left so maybe he got insomnia because he couldn't sleep thinking something bad would happen again or because it made him remember what happened and feel guilty)
- Haru saw Yukitaka (15) at Shigure's funeral.
*1 year later*
- Haru searched for Shiro who had disappeared after Shigure's death.
- The group offered Haru the management of a store where Shiro would work as a prostitute. Haru accepted because he couldn't save Shiro but being his pimp was a way to watch over him.
*9 years later*
MODS storyline
*1 year after*
- Yukitaka was required by the group to hide in a non-yakuza's house for a month after afight with another group. Yagami recommended Haru.
- Haru wanted to quit the store and break all ties with the yakuza so Yagami said between the lines that he could if he took Yukitaka in for a month.
- The month didn't end but Yagami said it was time for Yukitaka to return and broke the promise of letting Haru quit the shop and gave him another yakuza business to run instead.
THANK YOU
thanks for the plotline. i also get confused. i thought shigure is still alive and was hiding. oh this is just breaking my heart. When Haru said " I love him so much" with tears, I cried too.
Thank you. I'm a bit confused though, how is Yukitaka the legitimate heir and biological son of the head, but Shigure is his older half brother but illegitimate? I thought the older brother who is also a biological son, would have been the heir?
Yeah, the older brother who died is the illegitimate and the younger (Yukitaka) is the heir.
what did they mean by dirty work?
probably killing people or selling drugs ?
In Haru's narration he said Shigure often appeared with darkened eyes, I think just selling drugs wouldn't make him feel like that, he probably killed some people too.
This totally helps explain the relationship between Shiro and Haru.
I have a doubt... Shigure tells Haru about his brother and then we see Haru looking at Shiro. But that doesn’t mean Shiro is Shigure’s brother, right?
Shiro is not Shigure's brother, they're not related in any way
I had enough of the blackmail and now the misogyny jumped out.
And Miya is just plain superficial, a fucking stranger realized the MC was having trouble with Han Juran sooner than her, and she only thinks about appearances and how "it's your fault, Han Juran is acting like this because you're making him jealous" wtf
They're not even in a relationship and he's insanely possessive.
The MC is stupid for falling for this shit too.
The people tagging the mangaka on their edits of the scanlated version are another level of stupidity.
Some people don't read the credits page so:
- Don't call the mangaka by her first name, she's not your buddy (sad)
- Don't talk to the mangaka in english (japanese or nothing)
- Don't use the names from the scanlations on the mangaka's SNS
- Don't make it fucken obvious that you're reading a pirated version (like the example above)
The scanlation group can get into (judicial) trouble if we expose their work.
It's clichéd and in no way appellative, I can't feel the characters' emotions at all, they have no depth. The MC says "I'm falling for him" out of nowhere and it's just so emotionless...
Cliche shit like this is good for us anti thots and sorry we're on a site with thirsty middle aged women and horny 15 years olds and we dig this shit
You are so right ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
It's true sometimes ya boy just needs some cute romancey junk
Ah, there really is such a period in life.
The other characters on the cover are from Secret Forest by Watari Naomi. It's not available on Mangago, but you can read it here: https://hitomi.la/galleries/32911.html
It has shota and tentacles, you've been warned.
I think author-san was hella high when she made chapter 5 like, really high.
LMAO floating up there high!
Her highness payed off
Lol that's the only possible explanation
Smoked weed as high as the Mount Everest
All I have to say about it is a cheater will always be a cheater, if they did it once then they can do it again and I can't forgive even the first time. And he still has the nerve to be jealous! Don't fuck with me!
Some people realised that the oneshot Cosplay Cafe is missing. If you want to complete this manga, you can read it right here: https://hitomi.la/reader/271286.html#2
Thank you!(⌒▽⌒)
This is what I understood up to chapter 5, this contains spoilera so don't read if you haven't reached chapter 5 yet.
13 years ago, a student named Aragaki Asami died, she drowned in a pond by the school premises. Asami's brother was found by her brother, Yuuto.
Apparently, Asami was being bullied by her classmates, in one of the flashback frames it looked like her classmates threw her belongings into the pond, she was probably trying to get it back when she drowned.
Every year, in the aniversary of her death, someone goes missing and only wet footprints are left behind. Hizuki saw Asami on chapter 2 page 5 and chapter 5 page 3, she always appears next to Amishiro, completely soaked.
Actually, Amishiro is Asami's brother who is trying to revive her by killing the people who bullied her and offering their bodies to Akatsuki. He killed Kousaka Rui and buried her under the cursed cherry tree. He also killed Sakuraba and put her body parts inside a box in the prep room.
Other victims were mentioned vaguely through the manga but weren't shown, like the one found in a different school.
Hizuki is probably Akatsuki though so I wonder how this is gonna end...
That’s what I got
I hope he gets to do it with the cherry tree boy & PE teacher a few more times before Magaki forces him into monogamy :P...
