This was kinda unsatisfying and disappointing ngl.
Like, I would’ve liked it if the relationship between the two was fleshed out more instead of the whole plot being about their Yakuza and their connections with a dead woman who was an absolute disgusting bitch. Also, I would’ve liked to see more or Sentarou’s music career. I think what would’ve made this better is if it was longer, since short manga like this doesn’t have the time to focus on all these micro plots. A longer manga would’ve had a more satisfying conclusion since the romance, backstories and subplots would’ve been fleshed out better. 3.5/5
AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! OH MY GODDDDDDD!!! ITS SO SWEET TOO SWEET
Am I the only one who wished Ohn got with Jaewoo. Like, SERIOUSLY. Seowoo asked his brother to step in cause he was too much of a COWARD to face his crush himself. If you’re gonna have a standin, don’t get upset when they fall for your crush! No wonder Jaewoo fell in love with Ohn! And then like, Seowoo basically reaps the rewards of his younger brother’s hard work. Like WHAT?! If you like someone that much you shouldn’t lie to them. And Ohn was annoying too. He spent so much time with Jaewoo, only to choose Seowoo. Ohn led them both on and then was like “well, Seowoo is better since I hugged him and decided”. DUUUDE! You don’t decide who you’re in love with JUST LIKE THAT! And tbh like Jaewoo was just helping out his big bro WITH NO COMPENSATION. Honestly Ohn shouldn’t have tortured them like that. The best outcome would’ve been for him to refuse both of them. The twins deserved better
I don't think ohn decided just like that, from the beginning you can already tell that ohn felt more for seo woo than he did Jae woo. The amount of time each twin spent with ohn didn't matter. I noticed cuz before the big reveal, Ohn's accidental interactions with seowoo was the one that stood out to him the most. That one moment that got seowoo stuck in his mind. Jae woo mightve been the one who started it, but seo woo's charm was the one that pulled him in.
Examples: library, swimming pool, that time they ran into e/o drunk, the first movie date. Even Jae woo noticed he was more susceptible to his presence after that.
But all this doesn't really change the fact that Seo woo was a coward at first and that Jae woo deserved better
The situation really was unfair to jaewoo
I also don't think ohn lead them on, they both chose to pursue ohn, and ohn spent time with them to see who his heart called out to, honestly ohn's better than most for immediately telling Jae woo how he felt about seo woo after he realized, some would try to push it off, causing the other more pain.
Either way Jae woo deserves better and he should get his own happy ending
THANK GOD!! that Suzuka ended up with Mamura! there was no way I’d have liked the series if she was with Sensei. Like, one, he’s a teacher and two he’s an adult he should know better. Sensei was a massive red flag.
I absolutely love this manga tho
I absolutely love this story however, like, I recently read it again and realised that Kyouya literally gaslit Erika most the time and wasn’t really considerate and that’s a red flag.
But this is a work of fiction which I do absolutely adore, I’m just saying if you encounter a guy like this in real life DO NOT ENGAGE. (Unless you’re into that sort of thing ehe) all in all love this romance
Like yes, I understand why a lot of people are upset with the characters, plot and whole story BUT. Gotta say, sometimes shit like this is a breath of fresh fucking reality. This is one of the stories that just wakes me up and is different from all the carbon copy revenge romance plots. I came back to this to remind myself of what reality is: most of the time people don’t change and fucked up people in fucked up situations aren’t excluded from romance.
Like yes, you want the story to turn out “better” but it doesn’t and that’s life. Love this story unapologetically.
Ok bye
Exactly and that's the beauty of fiction. No one got hurt
Exactly.
FACTS
Life is hard lol not everything will always be rainbow shit
“Hanabusa, you better make her happy.”
- ummm, excuse me? What the f*ck?
brother: *takes one look at the umbrella*
DETECTIVE SKILLS UNLEASH
“The girlfriend must be sketchy”
Also, you go Yuzuki for standing up to your brother like that. He was overstepping and Yuzuki but up the courage to tell his beloved brother that he’s wrong.
Don’t get me wrong, this was quite a good read. It was nice seeing the story line progress slowly since then it would be more satisfying. But DAMN, I’m with Yohan in saying I feel bad for Seonwoo. If they’re happy together that’s great but also Yuri might wanna see someone about that SEVERE anxiety of his. Realistically, I don’t think anyone wants a partner who’s 21 and still acts like a baby. He swears, calls Seonwoo a manwhore, hurts himself to get pity, takes advantage of Seonwoo’s kindness and jumps to conclusions so easily for like 4 whole chapters. And then the author like doesn’t even think of this as a problem??!!! It’s a big fucking red flag to me. Please stop romanticising this kinda toxicity. I would’ve loved this more if the author actually showed us them working through this as a problem. But, whatever floats your boat I guess.
Right...a HUGE red flag bro
"the author doesn't even think it's a problem." Who says she doesn't? People like writing about red flags aaaalllll the time. If you're looking for a green flag, this definitely isn't for you. Since the beginning, Yuri has a fucked up personality, it won't change just because he started dating. But you can keep on reading, whatever floats your boat I guess.
I agree with you that Yuri may seem childish, but if you truly understand his story, you’d realize what has shaped him that way. Healing a wounded soul takes time, Yuri and Seonwoo are proof that love can bloom when both are willing to nurture and care for each other. I guess that's why this story named Form of Sympathy.
So beautiful. So REAL. (◍•ᴗ•◍)
Yeah. If Yuri keeps that shit up one of them is gonna break things off eventually. But that's beyond the story.
