Bro what a plot hole, Ike literally says “I’m forgetting his face” then the next chapter the other guy claims he was only ever thinking of his bf.. hate this
I don’t understand why the general audience is on MCs side. Bro was so annoying sleeping with everyone possible and then sleeping with his abusive ex REPEATEDLY.. like it’s so gross. I hated ML for putting up with it. Bad story with an awful MC. Just icky to read. Not my type. You guys are more forgiving than me.
Uke is the one who's sleeping around?
He did
Sex addiction is common in SA victims, its also used as a form of SH in these cases. Its complicated so I don't blame the ML for getting angry and not understanding that neither do I blame the MC for acting the way he did. Either way, no matter how angry you are at your partner you should never lay hands on them especially the way the Ex did.
Yeah for sure the abuse is never acceptable. I just mean I hated that MC kept going to other guys and ML still putting up with it. Just not my taste, I see what you mean with what the author was doing though
I’m on chapter 4, why’d they make his neck so phat
Lmaooo. I said the same thing my first read. Except I wanted to choke him but you physically can’t because of his thick ass neck
OH NO if he cheats im done
He doesnttt
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVS, PLEASE DROP LINKS OR TITLES TO SIMILAR MANWHAS PLS PLS PLS
I’ve tried reading this so many times but the translation just sucks :/
This wasn’t overly dramatic or angsty. Very refreshing imo. I’m glad the second couple got together in the end too, I know they were toxic but I like to imagine they did a lot of personal growing in their time apart (which seemed to be 3-4 years at least?) and couldn’t live without each other.
Touma should’ve been end game. Kou chose Narumi and I can’t get over it. I read this years ago and hated it, I read it again to give it another shot and still hate it. My heart breaks for Futaba and Touma. Their relationship had so much more potential. :( hate this
HEEEEEEEEIIIIIILLLLL NAWWWW
NO WAYYYYY
touma was a rat omg all he did was manipulate futaba and coerce her into a rs with him ewgh
Touma manipulated and forced futaba into a relationship whilst she was vulnerable and didnt accept a NO as an answer
Why? The guy refused to take a no as an answer and forced her into a relationship
Touma Kikuchi might seem like the “nice guy” on the surface, but his actions throughout Ao Haru Ride tell a different story. He didn’t just fall in love with Futaba he manipulated her into being with him. He saw Kou trying to fix things and panicked, pushing himself into her life when she was still clearly confused and emotionally tied to Kou.
Instead of giving her space or clarity, Touma love-bombed her with affection, guilt-tripped her into staying, and constantly made her feel like she owed him love just because he was “there for her.” That’s not romantic it’s emotionally manipulative. He fed her doubts about Kou, framing him as someone unreliable while making himself look like the better option, even though he knew her heart was never truly with him.
What’s worse is that he acknowledged this! He knew Futaba wasn’t ready, yet he still pushed for a relationship, trying to win by force what Kou had by connection. That’s not healthy love that’s selfishness dressed as patience.
Am I the only one who loved the ending? I’m sad for the second ML but I’m so happy he ended up with Karam.
I can’t believe he hears them have sex, sees join leaving the room freshly showered, and needs to ask more. Stand up. You’re embarrassing me. Honestly the ML was so unlikable for me after that. My least favorite trope is “I like you and don’t know it so I’m still sleeping around but author wants to lighten the blow so the character pictures the MC while doing it” like bro it’s so lame. Just make them a manwhore all the way knowingly, or make them stop. Like stop with the half in half out
The second hand embarrassment lol I'm at that part but I had to stop, it was too much.
Greg breaks my heart :( honestly I’m such a sucker for first love tropes, I can’t help but want him end game so bad. But Henry is also so great..
