Fuck I feel bad for Jiho, yk you cant just blame a person who is sick on the head. A person so irrational can't be judged, just pitied. Yet, he can't be with Yujun. He can't and should not try to make him shoulder all of that pain. Yujun just recovered man, Jiho pls go to a psych ward or yk get help from a doctor not from Yujun ╥﹏╥
What a hidden gem! It is not listed with other Bad Pharmacy's works but ofc it is one of this author's works. As always, a great story.
I love how we see at first the pov from who we think is the most 'logical, rational' person, the class prez, and we are supposed to think the ''delinquent' is the one with the most problems. Yet as you get to know more about them, we notice that, while both have problems, there is someone in danger here and he himself is not aware of that. Until he does. That no matter how much he thinks he acts "like an adult' he is not. He can't say he chose to do that, he can't. He is a victim.
On the other hand, the 'delinquent' realizes that maybe he should start acting more mature. He should make himself clear. He may not be an adult, but he is not a kid whose life is decided by adults. He has things he wants to do
It is one of the few stories where spending time apart was necessary for them to grow as characters. Now, they find each other as people who conquered their fears and problems. Now they get to enjoy the fruits of their hard work. As the story says, the festival is just starting.
This really is a great story about youth
Everyone should read this damn i love enemies with a past to lovers (love how aggresive they both r)+ slowburn
The MC needs therapy, and the ML needs someone to save him from MC ╥﹏╥ I mean ML's life also got fucked up because of abandonment issues and just now that he is kinda getting life together at military service, the MC misses him and calls him?
The MC will always get emotional support from ML, yet he will go back to his toxic behaviour unless get gets help from an specialist #－.－)
Hikaru is not human, he is a completely different being that crossed the other side. Humans values and ethics do not work on him, he is an amoral being and he doesn't know about "good" or "bad". Thats why Yoshiki dreams about a dog, its the same.
The thing is, that Hikaru can communicate like a human. And that is scary. He is scarier than your typical monster because he can communicate. And he also looks like a human, so you expect him to behave like one, but he is fundamentally different and should not live with humans.
He doesn't even share the sames desires, he has his own desire: to have or consume souls. It is in his nature. Damn he doesnt even see the living as the same way and he will never do it, since for him the essence of one is their soul and the soul exists no matter if the being is alive or not.
Yet, after taking "half of his insides" out, it feels like he is becoming "more and more humanly", by trying to understand Yoshiki's pov. But he still cant understand society values, or can he? At one point he says that for him is the same if Yoshiki's soul was in a human or an elephant, just to be followed by "but if you werent human we wouldn't be able to eat ice cream together" and confuses himself...so maybe he IS getting there. But honestly, to have him try to change his nature may only result in him destroying himself...like the sunglasses guy said
This was a beautiful summary of what it’s really like for “hikaru”. Constant expectations when he himself doesn’t even understand what he is. He tries, he really does.
i can't help but liken him to a dog, because people tend to impose human morals on to them. they don't understand right or wrong or morals from the human perspective because they dont exist to them, but they understand humans reactions to 'right' and 'wrong' and try to display appeasing behaviour to please us :( to me that is 100% 'hikaru'. he literally cannot comprehend what yoshiki is on about with human morals, but he understands what upsets yoshiki and works to make him happy despite not understanding. i love 'hikaru' so much idc
It amazes me how the topics of love, selfishness and despair are dealt in this story.
Most of the characters make questionable decisions because of their love for someone yet they also put themselves and others in danger because of their selfish attitude of wanting things to stay as they are, all surrounded by this scenario of despair because of things they cant fully understand and should not exist.
Yoshiki loves Hikaru. He knew he was talking to the corpse of the one he loves, yet he couldn't bear to live a life without Hikaru, even if it meant having a monster who has taken lives, by his side.
The medium lady loved her husband to the point she was fine living with an "impurity" of him in his home, with his children interacting with him, until she realized it was...impossible.
Even the original Indou loved his wife so much he made a deal with an eldritch horror being, but this ended up wiping out a third of the village.
The whole village wanted things to stay as they always were, to live with their loved ones at peace in that land, that they made countless sacrifices, rituals and festivals to extend their lives, because they didn't know what else to do. They couldn't just move to another land, right?
Does anyone know how many chapters are until the end of the story? Will there be another volume?
This manga is everything
At first you had the two best fucking character dynamic in this story, and then they fcking hit you with that awful scene. Its not good, it fucking feels like NTR damn it (and r#pey). ugh. FCKING NTR. Hate mate worked the plot better than this work.
What a genius. The world this author haas created is so vast and infinite, there are so many stories to explore. It feels as if all characters get a beautiful conclusion except one, the world. Like it feels it has so much to tell, even without Mori (i love him tho, wouldn't mind more of his story). I have actually dreamt about it, about being part of this world, and it feels fantastic
