But I wish them all the happiness in the world --- Mashiro's mom too. She wasn't the best mom, obviously, but her situation is something I don't think I would have been able to stay sane for as well.
Also, the author's note at the very end really struck me to the core. I think it's the first time I've seen an author outrightly tell the readers to think about how the characters continue on even after the story's ending. In my mind, they'll live happily together until they grow old. And the mom would finally have the help she needed.
I have a feeling I'll be thinking a lot about this story.
Yea dream on, author lied to us since they made a sequel already and finished it and its first chapter has just finished translated now
lmao, I was really feeling it too. Well, I'm not complaining, do you happen to know where the first chapter for the sequel can be read?
From the scan website but its dropped because the prequel has been licensed
And it's the kind where the "aloof" one feels it aaa my favorite kind
The pacing is kinda weird for me, it suddenly got way quicker than initially established, I guess? Also, genuinely surprised that was Sentarou's only reaction to the drugs, expected him to be way angrier since there was a kid in the house but oh well.
Sometimes you gotta approach things calmly.. I guess he wanted to have a clear conversation with Touma ╮(￣▽￣)╭
makes sense. Especially if we're talking about drugs. But they've been bickering the whole time and I just find it hard to believe that THIS is the subject he chose to be calm about lmao
You know how on serious matters some people become deadly calm.. Maybe he's that type? ╮(￣▽￣)╭
His "loneliness" is a universal emotion I believe everyone has felt in their lifetime, at least at some point. While I'm not like Nacchan in a sense that I personally enjoy what I do right now---and it's the only thing I can imagine myself capable of doing so ig it's appropriate to say it's my dream job---I also still tend to envy other people, people like Issei who get to live a relatively carefree life, people in fields that just earn more, people who have more time despite having a job, people who have the skills/talent I wish I had or people who are just so damn good at what they do. And let's face it, some jobs just look more fun, regardless of what you're passionate about.
I still don't know how to navigate through such emotions (please don't reply "learn to be contented bs," that's a lot easier said than done) but I'm curious how the author will portray it in the MC's case.
What I know for sure is: jobs, in general, suck... and I'll always blame the capitalist system. The need to always grind without any assurance of any actual payoff.
but did they really have to do it in this format lmao? Am I supposed to compare both translations
Where the protagonist is constantly at their lowest, most authors go with that narrative to then fuck it up even further. But every time I end up reading one of those works all I ever wish for is that the protagonist would just meet someone who'd simply love them. I was hesitating whether I should start reading this, but it turned out to be the same thing I've always been waiting for and I'm so glad!!!
But I love every single part of it, it's the waiting for a new chapter that gets me. (With that said, thank you to whoever's translating and uploading these, you're at the very least making someone's day so much better every time.)
Love it when authors create anthologies with consistently good stories. Amazing how each of them had such wonderful chemistries. And the colors is such an original way of storytelling. 10/10
Is there finally some fluff?? I'm more of a fluff reader so I didn't enjoy this as much at first but I really like this art style. Please tell me if there's fluff involved now T__T
Not fluff yet but they're starting to get together again slowly, the asshole top is also trying hard so I guess it's worth to read.
Okay I'm glad to know, thank you so much!
