Damn, that'd be a really good point, if Dr. Seok thought that the Serpent was a good person, instead of just being generally suspicious of the lies he's been told at Rainbow city. Oh well, perhaps this brutal display of superiority and apathy will make him realize how nice the city is, instead of making him realize that major Kwak isn't his ally and that he needs to be more secretive and act in a riskier way than he has up to this point. Btw Dr. Seok Are you still carrying that rock with you. Can you aim.

I don't think this story will live up to it's full potential...The romance parts are great, the friendships are great, the comedy is great and the family bonding is wonderful, but it seems like the author is completely disinterested in exploring nuances of the setting. Like if you actually think about the plot for a second your brain will start to hurt.
The main dogma of this manga is that peace is good and worth preserving. Is mangago user Abel☆Lied about to tell you that peace isn't good? No, of course not, but I think we can agree that this chapter is a little weird right?? That the fact that the author portrays any dissent against the government as stupid and malicious is weird right??
Why ARE these characters always portrayed this way here?? Like their issues and problems with the country are moronic? If Twilight and Yuri held these beliefs, it'd be good storytelling, but the narrative continues to treat them as these evil idiots, even though it's obvious that there's tons of these people.
Literally nobody asked the author to make one of the main reoccurring characters a gestapo member, I don't know why they wrote it that way, if they weren't willing to deal with the implications of it. The implications of the country our protagonist is protecting having a secret police. Was the problem with the cold war that USSR's citizens just were too dissident??

I knew the author wanted to write darker stuff but he's right there. We're hooked in. Maybe not start killing off everybody but the stage is there. It's the cold war era and they will have to explain it to Anya sooner or later. If we can have whole chapters without her there, he can start writing the edgier stuff. Then, we cut back to her for fluff. I hope his editors aren't holding back from that.
It's been said over and over but Avatar the Last Airbender did this. It's a delicate balance but the war was always there in the background. SpyxFamily has the setup. It just needs proper follow through. It was built this way.

Hmm, I'd agree with you and in fact I'd think this was a great thing, but the fact is that the darker topics are already there. My issue isn't that the author refuses to depict it, in fact I think it'd be kind of interesting to see the atmosphere slowly creep in on the family life, without any explicit violence. My issue is, that it is depicted, but extremely poorly. There are revolutionaries and there is a secret police, but these things are depicted in a childish, uninteresting and rather cruel, if you compare it to what this setting is based off of.
I'm not dropping this or anything, but I just don't believe that the author wants or is capable of doing something interesting with this part of the setting. It seems the main plot is going to be centered on mind-reading and Damian's family, which is also interesting, but just not really exploring the themes it could've.

The title is antidote. Their meeting is the antidote. As in, their meeting is what stops the poison. The poison in the medicine, that he can stop taking after meeting Gjord.
I think most people, me included, already thought that the pills are causing his amnesia, but this means not only that this was a deliberate harm, but it's also going to be the central focus of this story (as in who's the mastermind, why are they doing that, what happened in the past, how has this gone on so long, when did something change)
