I hate love triangles... this one though I really don't mind both guys. Yachiyo did not really do anything wrong for me to fervently support Kiyoto. I guess the only thing he's done ""wrong"" is not trying to pursue Touji again and decided to marry to try and move on - and maybe also gave in to his parents' pressure (given how he was being pressured to study and do good as well)
I like Kiyoto too. It would be good if both Touji and Yachiyo could settle their past feelings if Kiyoto is endgame cause if not, it would still end very poorly for both since both clearly still has some lingering affection for each other.
**********RAW SPOILERS**********
but I hear Yachiyo is endgame. as long as the narrative towards that end is satisfactory, then I'll be glad too.
akiharu is endgame btw
i saw it here. it's not the full raws but the ending chapters are fully accessible for public. just the chapters in between are missing

aside from the mistranslation, this story requires a bit of checking on the nuance and subtle actions so i get why not everybody can catch on those things! there's a lot of times their emotions aren't plainly spoken out but are shown through actions or just like a huge panned out panel.
i said it before but some people might wanna need to see it again. it's obvious mc is already interested about riku (outside shipping) even before they actually interacted and riku confessed, he's just in denial and insecure so he defaults to the shipping act he's got going especially that it's basically a consensus among everyone to ship riku and hiroki. you also can see his thoughts waddle around a lot with how he's talking about his fanfiction with his friend and how the friend is reacting (it's representative of his internal conflict)
should've known better but ngl i was really hoping this would've gone on a less violent route. i mean i understand, wooyeon doesn't understand human emotions even his own. im pretty sure he already likes inseob since way before but he couldn't process what he was feeling so he was being grumpy about it. it was going okay but then he found out he was betrayed and it went downhill from there. he's a twisted mf and didn't know how to work around the hurt and disappointment he felt from someone he unknowingly likes. all of this would've gone a more wholesome route if the whole beating up the co-worker (ngl he deserved it tbh) and him getting discovered didn't happen.
~30 chapters prior this it was still going okay since so far wooyeon only really got violent with people who's genuinely annoying lol but with the SA and all it's hard to stomach. still an interesting story regardless and the reaction is very in character imo. just afraid that he's in way too far and deep to even get "fixed".
and yes i agree with the other comments. the people around wooyeon are enablers... if we're going out with a limb even inseob's family lowkey were. i understand though if they didn't want to make it more complicated for jennie (which might make her family hurt her more) but surely they could've done something to prevent the beating she's been getting? idk, maybe the family was also pushovers.









thanks to user salvxx in the raws site for explaining this:
"Yachiyo’s been divorced that much should be clear just from the fact that he stopped wearing his ring.
Kiyoto broke up with him (Touji) bc he could tell what happened between the two of them was largely unresolved & the stress of worrying about that every time the two of them met up was just not worth it (not to mention his first encounter with Touji was literally right after Yachiyo’s wedding so he knows exactly how much realizing things too late fucked Touji up). Touji was definitely trying to make it work but being in the thick of it probably couldn’t see things as clearly as Kiyoto was as a bystander."
I understand Kiyoto tbh but I definitely thought he'd fight for Touji harder. I guess he has his own problems with himself to deal with as well.
We can only see what the future volumes will give us.
Thank you for sharing! Kiyoto, to me, very much gave off the vibes that KNEW he liked Touji more than Touji liked him. From the start it seemed like he was ready to just be there for Touji instead of getting serious. I didn’t even notice Yachiyo stopped wearing his ring. I’m glad he’s divorced (since it wouldn’t be fair for his wife)
Thanks for sharing! For me it's not so much about Kiyoto fighting for Touji, but about Touji coming to terms with his past was and went and his feelings for Kiyoto being strong and sincere :')
both aren't mutually exclusive tbf. i thought that even if he thought touji needs to settle his past grievances, he would tell him to go do it but ALSO tell him that he still likes him and is willing to be with him if touji ever thought of wanting so. but he didn't, he just chose to break up. also tbf though i dont fully know how the break up came to be so maybe he did say that. just that, if he didn't, it's likely that he just have his own problems to deal with and isn't willing to fully dive into the mess that that would potentially cause (touji still liking yachiyo and him having to wait for touji to settle that)
