I'm dumb, can anyone please tell me why Yumi did what he did? Like, I wanna know what he felt after he gave that album but I'm kinda dead inside so I'm having a hard time figure it out. Anyone please help :(
Well, I think that as Yumi knows really well Kan-chan he knew he would still have those photos from the past and I think it was just his way (Yumi's way) to tell Kan-chan that it was okay to let it go. So, in order to let it go Yumi gave the album to "store" the past in a safe place.
Just my opinion though.
I think, he gave the permission for forgiveness. The album is basically a gesture from Yumi, that it is okay to move on, he is happy and it is okay to Hayashida too, if he is happy and forgive to himself. Forgiving something and forgetting something are two different things. This way, Hayashida can keep all their memories (good and bad too), forgive to himself and be with Shuuna without constan fear. Yumi relieved that someone can make Hayashida smile again, like in the old days even if it wasn't him, who did that. They know eachother that well, that Yumi knows, this helps and Hayashida has the photos. At least, I am taking in this way this whole act.
About chapter 8, I think it's clearer in chapter 9, but the beginning of the tankoubon version (chapter 9.1 here). I think Yumi Is kind of relieved that Kan-chan was almost able to keep kn going with his life, to "almost return to normal", like when Yuuna says that the room brigthens when Kan-chan smiles... I think that Yumi is surprised because during his time together, he wasn't able to see Kan-chan smile, and the fact that Yuuna brings that up makes Yumi thinks that Kan-chan is returning to his old self or kinda.
And Yumi's expression after the album par, well, I think it's just a bittersweet feeling... They went through a lot together and it's impossible for both of them to not have feelings for each other, even though not in a romantic way.
Tanaka sensei is amazing. The way all those feelings are brought to life with just a few lines and drawings... Love this work!!
Again, just my point of view, but I hope it has made thinks easier for you ;)











Hi guys please help me, I’m dumb
Can you please tell me why the grandmother was like suddenly trembling and asked the ML when he’ll back to the army???????? It’s in ch 17 fyi
Please someone enlighten my dumb ass
Thanks in advance
she was caught staring and wanted to change the topic
oh and she was staring at our mc bc she looked like princess vanessa (the one the grandma used to serve)
i am not quite sure either but probably and maybe she felt guilty towards rudiger? since she basically abandoned him when he's just a baby to look for jonas
just a speculation/observation:
She was trembling coz she PROBABLY realized that Judith's eyes is kinda similar to the Princess she served before, and PROBABLY realized that Judith has some royal blood. She PROBABLY used the question whether the Uncle would be back in the army as a diversion to hide her nervousness- OR not lol.
yeah but then again, that's all speculation so she's probably just getting lost in her thoughts (a perhaps a hopeful suspicion) --> trembling from excitement, fear, anticipation or nervousness? no idea.
but it's highly likely she used the qs to divert our mc's attention
That makes sense, like she said the MC's eye colour is rare so I wouldn't be surprised if later we find out that she has some sort of connection to the royal family
Guys, after spending a whole night thinking about this, I thought the answer simply cause the mother too, like every servants in that household, is afraid of our ML cause he’s cold blooded(?)
Apricornlatte is prolly right. The grandma was caught staring our FL too much and she needed to divert the convo but it’s just so happen that the topic she chose has something to do with her son that kinda scares her(?)
