I freaking love this manga so much bru. The plot is very really well thought out and the character depth is soooo great! I don't really understand why some of you are very adamant on covering up the darker themes displayed in the plot though, especially because they DO tie into the story...like, you're reading a manga where one of the main characters was raised a part of a (basically) religious cult where it's "okay" for people to abuse them and live to serve others in exchange for the ability to stay alive for a few years btw...did you think it would stay shallow btw? are we using our comprehension skills btw?? The reason the author shows the things the kannagi's have endured is to make the readers aware of what really goes on behind the scenes. The island that they live on is NOT a utopia even though the nobles and Lord portray it as one, and it's like we're learning about all of this alongside Alto and Elva. Additionally, a large reason Elva's assaults were brought up was to remind him why Mika (and the past kannagi's) had a reason to be so full of rage, clearly a tactic Mika used to try and recruit him on his side, yet he didn't let the anger consume him because he finally has someone who makes him want to survive (character development) + to show how confused/scared Elva's actually been (unlike how tough and strong-willed his character normally seemed). We see this when Mika asked Elva why he was pretending to be in love, and later in the flashback when Elva realized he continued to go back to the man who sa'd him because he wanted someone to be kind to him. The scene isn't "useless to the plot" or some other bullshit because it is literally one of the biggest explainers as to why the black sea wants to kill humans and why the nobles ARE the bad guys. Also kiss me if i'm right but there is legit a warning in the summary that literally says "discretion is advised" so I'd assume there would be sensitive topics brought up idk (if you aren't prepared to see a mature motif, I would recommend reading comments and checking lists to see a more in-depth description to decide if you should continue reading). It can be hard to stay invested in a manga series if there aren't any complexities that encourage the readers to fight alongside the characters. Overall, I'm js pissed that people are angry that a MATURE manga has genuinely MATURE issues being dealt with instead of having 2 smexy guys becoming pillow warriors the entire time. Any who, if you are someone who is wanting to read this I reallyyyy recommend it but please be aware of the points I made before hand! Js don't be someone who complains abt things after being warned about them bru
I know it's true that all media relies on the public's opinions and it is completely understandable why people wouldn't want to read about such intense topics (+ why they would think books shouldn't have csa scenes). With that being said tho, not all books are made to escape reality–instead, many work towards bringing you back into it. Individuals read stories like this, not because they enjoy watching people suffer, but because they are able to empathize with the characters and want to watch them reach their happy ending. What pmo the most is when ppl dumb down serious sa, s*icide, and r*pe as just problematic issues that should not exist...yet missed the entire point that it being there in the first place is to show just how devestating and disgusting the action is. (also before anyone says anything I am obviously NOT advocating for sa, especially the use of it in Yaoi but thats for another time, so don't play that sneaky shi with me bru)(my meds js wore off so i'm realizing i wrote hella lmao)
Well said
nah i agree heavily I also just think if you know you're a person who cant handle intensely triggering media or are victims of these crimes and prone to getting ptsd from such loaded material as suggested in this manga (csa, abuse and many more) yaoi is not the media for you I would go out of my way to recommend shounen ai instead and even with that do your research. How its handled time to time is not the best and even when it is can still be very explicit. I personally can appreciate authors on the other side of the coin that don't shy away from the atrocities of these hard topics (Like aot is one of my favorite animes of all time and its got cannibalism, csa, and abuse imbedded into the plot of victimhood that goes hand in hand with the cycle of violence the storyline of ymir perpetuates.) I feel as if reading yaoi as a person with these traumas and expecting there to be no sensitive material even if it's hinted and pointed at with the right intentions is in a similar vein to being allergic to nuts and ordering some pistachio ice cream.
between pil-gyun fucking his dad, killing said dad's dad, fucking his dad while his dad's dad's funeral service is still going on, meanwhile also being a serial killer and psychopath…this was so hard to thug out I didn't think I could do it guys what the flip. I legit cannot imagine raising a kid (while ALSO having been previously in love with his mom) then having sex with him in the future while he still calls you dad. what in the absolute freak shit are y'all on bruh
Agree…
this shit couldve been so fucking good if they didnt use that fuck ass father and son lingo and if pil-gyun wasnt a kid when they met!!! couldve been minimal interaction like in under the greenlight
I think it's not meant to be read as a regular love story. Honestly, a lot of fucked up things happened to both of them. I agree it was a bit offputing but I guess I kinda get where both of them are coming from?
no you definitely have a point this is very plausible since its fiction ig the reason why i was able to sit through it was the fact that their love for one another was very raw and came at a time when they needed someone to truly love them for themselves yk
um yeah so i was getting into it a bit, yeah? i liked the art, the story was strange but i really fw possessive type beat relationships in manhwa's so it was enjoyable, and the characters felt alive. All of this was super great until i learned bro was a senior giving hand jobs to a 9th grader! turned me way off and i couldn't bring myself to read it after allat bruv… i'm a freak with standards i fear.
super senior gojo is frying me
this is so peak holy shit i even cried wtf... this had me balling my eyes out, giggling, brooding, squealing...you name it, i did it. This was written beautifully, and really made me feel like i found one of the best bl's around! The ending(s), iykyk, were so amazing and I really just loved this story (and the artwork was breathtaking). THIS IS SO SO SO GOOD, 10/10 RATED 5 STARS FOR A REASON!
so idk how to feel abt this at all i'm gonna be fr! i know, legally, that this is an okay age gap, but like...he lied abt his age and didn't correct him until AFTER getting it on, that's a little loco my boy! it had a cute ending, yes, but the fact he's still a high schooler icks me out, maybe it's just 'cause im a senior now, too, but idk shit's really weird (fellow fudanshi brethren..i felt very uncomfortable but read at your own discretion). Σ( ￣□￣||)
this was, quite literally, so fucking good. I recommend all y'all freaks out there, skimming the comments, probably trying to figure out if this is a good manwha or not, to read this. I felt way too many emotions (in a good way), plus I galloped with whimsy and joy when ts was over…it sucks there's no extras but idgaf this was so fire regardless. please read, i voted this 5 stars for a reason hoe ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ also, after you read pls support the author! check out jaxx's twitter or insta for more info (and i mean financially since ik many of you have enough funds to support! WE have enough money. WE aren't broke jobless bums.)
Yk this is funny bc I was just skimming the comments bc I was bored
Um idk about y'all but I felt so bad for the FL the entire time... like bro. And I know she "chose to live this way", but imagine being in her shoes dawg like ts gmfu... ANDD on top of that, her kids are also destroys? She's ends up very happy with everything and I'm really glad she got a good life, BUT DAMN she really had to suffer. No and yk what, I also feel hella bad for the ML too because he legit cannot function without his urge to kill the love of his life!!!!! Imagine having to go about day-by-day in fear of killing the only thing you live for because that is the only thing that will bring you to your peak happiness? AND ON THE OTHER HAND, imagine going about day-by-day in fear of being murdered by the only person you will ever have the capacity to love romantically, knowing that you'd be okay with it due to your unending love? Ts hurts ngl man :(
And that's what made the story is interesting! I didn't came here for the same plot nor cringy shi, but ngl I agree how scary it is but the story is just sooo good that I'm too curious what will happen, I also luv how the ml hide his possessive side so well, and their wholesome romance on high school days but at the same time, the fl gone through alot TwT
YESS you get it queen i'm glad my hg got her happy ending tho (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Guys I actually really love this manhwa... like, it's so freaking good. ML is a cutie patootie (so is FL cause her glow up LAWDDDDD IM BOUTTA BUSSANUT), is an actual yandere (not a lil possessive... like, full on), treats his wifey like a goddess and dgaf about anything except her. Storyline stays progressive and gets more interesting each chapter... it just lwk goes on for super long tho. Almost withered away trying to finish it (￣∇￣")

SPOILERSSS:
ML and FL end up really happy together but they got it roughhhhh. Also, why has he legit tried to end his life like 3 times due to his love for the FL? #NEEDTHATBADLYYYYY but still, crazy how bro ended up not killing anyone after he was shown his Minnie dead on the floor...#improvement. Was also really happy when it showed he hadn't changed his obsessive nature, seeing him acting unbothered by sum of the things pmo icl
