Still shook that anyone is still defending Jiho. He saw how traumatized Inwoo was by the first meeting and set up another one and then surprised Inwoo with it without warning. He did this because he didn’t want to deal with Inwoo being sad. He then went to his exes and even was tempted to be with him because it was easier. And now that he’s bad I doubt he’ll take any responsibility because Inwoo is so terrified of being abandoned again that he’s going to forgive him and beg him to stay
I’ve never wanted a character to get dumped so bad. Inwoo deserves so much better and Jiho is not only selfish, but he is downright cruel
“I’m not a groomer, just a loser”
No. You’re a loser and so is the author for writing this. It takes zero and I mean ZERO effort to NOT write predatory relationships where adults groom minors
If y’all don’t think this is a problem cuz it’s just a fictional manga, think back to when YOU were a teen. Did you think age gap relationships were bad or were they a cool kind of taboo thing? I knew they were wrong but they also seemed cool. Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, FLCL, Tenchi Muyo, goddamn SAILOR MOON. It was that media then, and this media now, that contributes to that type of thinking. THAT is why continuing to write these tropes is dangerous. I don’t care if it’s just fiction. This shit effects real kids and it’s OUR JOB as the adults in the anime/manga community today to call this shit out so we can stop normalizing predatory relationships
It takes even less effort JUST NOT READ IT AND COMMENT HERE LIKE AN AW. Seriously i don't even understand why people hating on this people when they are not even couple yet . Dammit can't you guys just imagine a two people giving their best to their life while supporting eachother... without imagining them in sexual pov
They get together because in a former chapter he references how him and his first love/tutor broke up
I just checked and it’s chapter 12 where he says that he had got with his private tutor. So yeah. It went there, the tutor is an adult who goes after a MINOR. And YOU are going out of your way to defend this predator on a multitude of comment threads. It’s not a good look.
But I’m not here to make you feel bad about it. I just want to encourage you to look inward and investigate why you feel the need to defend him and his predatory behavior towards a minor.
We’re all influenced by media and situations we’ve experienced and it can be very helpful to search for the root of our actions, because a lot of the times these mindsets require deconstructing harmful tropes. That’s what I had to do, since back when I was a teen I used to think that teen/adult relationships COULD be ok, and it was BECAUSE OF media/anime/manga that led me to those mindsets. And that? THAT is what this manga is actively doing right now to its readers, and to you since you’ve felt passionately enough about this subject to comment on several threads about it.
I know this is a massive ask of you to investigate within yourself, and it’s also being thrust on you by a stranger on the internet so naturally you’re going to feel defensive. But I really do urge you to think about all of this when YOU’RE ready and IF it feels safe to do so
First of all, this series is a BL, with multiple sexual references, therefore, it is 18+
No teenager is supposed to be reading this to start with.
And while yes all those series u named may not have been 18+, they are not at fault for what happened with me and multiple other teenagers, the adults dating us were.
What you're doing by faulting fiction, is actually extremely disrespectful to victims in a way, because it somehow faults us and dumbs us down to idiots that cannot differentiate between fiction and reality. Fiction affects your mindset only up until what u allow it to. I've had years of therapy to tell me that and searched deep inside me as to why that happened to me and it was never my fault as a victim.
Yes I wanted to be more mature, yes I wanted to date an older guy, but if the fucking guy had not fucking dated me as a goddamn teen, nothing would have happened. Stop victim blaming.
Besides, series like this depict a reality that has been a reality for ages(sadly) and it's an extremely realistic story, so if it triggers u somehow, close it, u have the power to curate ur safespace.
Worded perfectly!
The fact that this is 18+ and therefore underage people shouldn't be reading this is something people conveniently ignore most of the time.
I know the frustration but writing up reviews in a pirating site is not changing the world dude. Like, we leave comments with our opinion to have conversations with other people pirating, and many people pirate precisely because more mainstream content is frown upon. Soooo just leave the starts it deserves and say that is creepy, but being all virtious to save the world is not gonna make people reflect on the topic, you just look our of place and self-important.
Guy did that bro just told me to have a reality check or am I trippin' lmao ... These are the aw I was talking about, going blah blah about how thier kids should not learn from this...bro this isn't a site for kids, even though it has stories of other genre this site mostly of stories of 18+ content. Put a parental lock on your kids phone. I mean if your kids let you that is (〜￣△￣)〜
I did Post on several threads. Yes but that's cuz you kiddos being annoying and unfair to the story, learn to read a fiction and do not take it on a personal level will you?
They need couples counseling or they need to break up. The MC needs individual to deal with all of the cheating trauma he’s had to endure, he’s going to self sabotage every relationship until he gets that’s resolved. Not saying that all the works needs to be his to resolve, but it’s not fair to make your partner heal your trauma when they’re not professionally trained to do so
PREACH WOW AGREED
I wasn’t sure if he was going to follow thru with the revenge but I just realized that this chapter has the title PART 1 so now I think they have a future
What do u mean? I always interpreted the title as a dagger hidden under the clothes
If you look at the title card at the beginning of the chapter or whenever it says the title, underneath in small text it says PART 1
This chapter confirmed just how selfish Jiho is “I thought I could change him” like BRUH really REALLY hope that Inwoo drops him or at least takes a long break. The fact that Jiho KNEW that his actions would make him angry. Absolutely backs up my theory that he is not only clumsy, he’s straight up CRUEL
EXACTLY. like he seems to have this hero complex & NEED to fix people. like he thinks he’s put in life to be a saviour or something. his mindset is “inwoo would get angry but i’m doing what’s best for him”. wtf bro. he is undermining inwoo’s feelings regarding this because he thinks HE’S RIGHT. oh if i could slap him.
I’m glad the bulk of the comments have turned against him after this chapter. It was so frustrating explaining to people how drop kicking your loved one into the arms of their deepest trauma without a warning is a BAD THING
i was so confused when i saw people were defending him because to me, it’s obvious that he’s in the wrong & overstepped.
I kno this is asking a lot BUT I WANNA SEE EVERY MINUTE OF WHAT THEY DO TO HIS FATHER
U and me both but also wtf is wrong with me for wanting to see that
Absolutely nothing theres a reason why revenge and horror are such popular genres
FRRR
Me too!!! Want to see the vile mf suffer for ages.
Yess. Cut him to pieces. him. Sorry not sorry he's lowkey hot. Probably hotter on a leash. He deserves it.
Now THIS is what I’ve been waiting for cuz Jiwo needs to be held responsible for his downright cruel actions. I truly and honestly do hope that Inwoo dumps him over this because meddling with someone else’s deep rooted trauma cuz you want to see a happy ending so you don’t have to deal with Inwoo being sad is SO negligent, self centered, and cruel. Inwoo deserves so much better
If a guy bite down on one of my tattoos THAT HARD I would have punched him and left
MCs about to become a pass around party bottom lol
crazy fr
