It's been years since I've waited for this to end and almost forgot about this. But thanks to my fujo sizt who recommended this and so I re-read it. I'm glad I did. UwU
This manga really got attached to me (tho i almost forgotten bout it) mostly with how the characters are crazy in love with each other albeit knowing the wounds each of their side have caused them. It's cliche, yes, but the good kind of cliche and i'll say it again and again. I really love how much they pine for each other, seek each other's warmth, how they could give up everything in the name of love. That warm feeling you get when you know how each whispered words they say to each other really means something and just, hands down, deep. Also, I love the melodramatic feels I get whenever they're choosing each other over everything, like, on the spot.

I was having second thoughts before reading this because it's a habit of mine to read the comment section first before the story itself. A lot were agitated that I almost dropped this. But damn. I can't blame the readers why they're so frustrated HAHAHAHA However, I really want to congratulate the author for a job well done. (ღˇ◡ˇ*)♡ I mean, it's natural to feel frustrated because that's what really the author wanted the readers to feel, and with that said, they successfully nailed it. Stories tackling psychological have always been complicated and dark to soft readers, it's kinda pitying how they unfortunately stumbled upon such stories (~˘▾˘)~ (yosh yosh~)
I've actually read several psychological stories that this one cannot compare with how dark and harsher other stories have reached.
I cannot ask for anymore revision of this story because this was already perfect. There may be things to be patched but those are small things to even reconsider.
Overall, big thumbs up to the author

It's not only Toono who've known about Yaachan's true self, Tamura too. Also, I'm not the only one here who think Yaacchan is a potential tachi right? Hnnngg I really want him to top Tamura... (˵ ° ʖ °˵)
The author's obviously all-out KashimaxToono, and they seem to step by step pushing Yaachan x Tamura... aggghhh I can't waiiiit
Raws kudasaiiii ヽ(*´□`)ノ゙

I felt the same way! Lol

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the character development Tamura gonna get. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Then we get some progress with Tamura and Yacchan.

After all bby Angel, a sweet cinnamon roll, had done, bby James, why did you let that man go? I'm crying for Angel, I just can't accept the fact that he sort of died without a proper justice towards the perpetrator. Even though in the end it came out that Rugal have been satisfied, he still wasn't able to reflect and realize what he should be realizing. Furthermore, I know it'll cause another damage to bby James if he ever finds out the truth, but he needs to, he has the right, with all the betrayals. In fact, I kinda thought the author knew that this story could be extended for a perfect closure to all the characters, but maybe, idk, it's kinda disappointing, the end, I mean.
But, I just want to emphasize again, the betrayals, it still left me unsettled. Maybe I feel this disappointed because there's no proper closure. Maybe the author spared Rugal because they really like the character itself and wants to give highlight to Rugal (yknow the 'I've harassed you enough..."), it's like they want to prove something out of Rugal, but on my viewpoint as a reader(or maybe I've failed to understand), they seem to have failed.
BUT ヽ(*´□`)ノ゙ my baby Angel, I still can't accept this. ( ಥ _ ಥ )
Ps. I've read the comments and knew myself that this could hurt me, but I still insisted, I was just hoping that I can conclude the story in good way, but.. really.. "or so I thought." ( ̄∇ ̄")

And oh, I just want to add, I'm kinda hurt, in place of Angel, that Licht and Owl didn't even seek help first to him, and right on betrayed Angel. They're also dealing with drugs before they turned as a government intel agency, and they also have strong connections as well, why not take advantage of it rather than betraying not just a typical comrade but almost your brother at that. They're smart but, haist, idk, I'm hurt, someone console me
ヽ(*´□`)ノ゙ヽ(*´□`)ノ゙

Truee ( ಥ _ ಥ ), tho I don't want to be angry to the author because I know how much effort they gave to this story. But, it really pained me how the death of the important people to both MCs was sort of ignored. Samantha, got her own death justified tho for a little bit, but with Angel, it's so frustrating how no one avenged his death nor placed a considerable punishment to the man responsible. How Licht didn't even spare a glance to how ghastly they've done Angel, and Marcus who's clearly the only reason of Licht, didn't even, idk anymore. But, I'm mostly disappointed with James. The lengths he'd done to protect Angel was all in vain when he can't even affirm a resolve to avenge him. He got easily swayed with Rugal's half-assed realization and reasons. He didn't even thought of how many times he was manipulated by the man and right out trusted his words. I've been thinking about the story since yesterday and still didn't see anything that could dwindle my frustration. Oooops sorry, I was only supposed to support your comment but it got this far. I just feel so disappointed 'sall. ヽ(*´□`)ノ゙
But thank you if you reach the end of this ( ಥ _ ಥ )

Yeaahh, I did. That's why I'm so frustrated with how the author ended it just like that. I kinda understand the rape part (tho part of me thought it's unnecessary too) because obsession is a complicated topic and has several ways to be expressed. I know rape should not always be the solution for authors who tackle obsession but with how the author portrayed Rugal, I can conclude anytime that it would happen sooner or later. I actually thought that he would also harass James right before, idk if you remembered the part where he got drunk with just a sip. As a matter of fact, for someone who did all those things for years, for someone they love, not to mention in the case of Rugal who's obviously obsessed and definitely twisted, rape is kinda an overration to things he could've done to James, as an obsessed man. But, you know for James, I think nothing is more disgusting for him if he finds out he's the one who pulled the trigger rather than Rugal. I know the topic here is how unnecessary the rape part is, but I've read stories tackling obsession and how a person can be immensely twisted. Rugal, here, is nothing to other obsessed characters I've encountered. Even I, could think of much twisted ways for Rugal to 'harass' James. Like I said, obsession is complicated.
Actually, rather than rape, I'm more frustrated with how dirty the author have done Angel. ( ̄∇ ̄")
I'm sorry if I disappointed you, or even disgusted you with how I ignored the rape part. But in actuality, in real life though, I abhor rape, I really do. Like, if I could, I'll be the one executing the rapist themself. So, no worries, I'm still sane. Σ(っ°Д °;)っ

it's okay, take your frustration out and talk about it. we all in the same boat, I"m very frustrated myself. why did I even take the time to read this if it's going to leave such a bad taste and frustrating feeling so much!! I didn't think this will end this bad, I didn't think it was possible, but it seems the author makes sure to surprise me in the worse way possible.
and I don't feel the need to forgive them, they did this since it's their creation, so it's their fault.
I"m still angry about this horrible ending, I will never read anything from this creator.

I understand
It's just that abuse seems to be a little thing, or even normal in Asia romances and it sucks.
Watch Rugal get away like this is not a good message
He did all the most inhuman things and what? He lost his influence??? No man
This monster should have suffered like devil itself was torturing him.

HAHAHAHAHA trueeee glad i'm not the only one who noticed it
And I definitely agree with you regarding Rugal. (」°ロ°)」
He's done things unimaginable because of his self-conceitedness It's this kind of feeling that I want to congratulate the author for portraying this character purposely for the frustration of fans. ( ̄へ ̄)
I just want Rugal to experience what the MCs had. But, I realize that people like Rugal are shameless and will view that kind of punishment as just a poke. So I would really like to be the one punishing him

Yuuki is the kind of guy, who's ideal, at all matter of characterization. The typical, "too good to be true.". And mostly, these type of people are the kind that doesn't stay(I meant in a way that, they are only passing by, as harsh that it could mean), it's like, destiny is letting you meet that person for a reason, for higher/greater providence.
I noticed it also in a K-DRAMA, idk if any one of you, by chance, also watched Hotel De Luna. Manwol's first love was also like that, almost perfect, but their relationship didn't last, although for a different reason, but I think authors like them want to convey that kind of message, hehehehe tho, that's purely my opinion. Teheee
You can't do that bub, you should tell him like.. tomorrow morning, you know how things will end if you delay what's inevitable.
