this is such a masterpiece. it made my stomach turn when i read that ending, holy shit. its so good? this deserves a 10 stars if i could give it one.
its disgusting the method umi did just to run away from his feelings yet the implications that sora knew, that sora is selfish on his own for not letting his younger brother get his chance - that must be why he is so intent on marrying beniko, proposing to her as soon as she turned 16. i also love how we lack so much information about sora and his mindset - im so happy the mangaka decided to focus on beniko and umi and how they cope about sora's death. it really played on the death and how we will never understand why sora did what he did and how sora would feel if he knew.
everyone in this manga is twisted on their own way. even the parents for letting their children date and sleep on each other's room at the very young age.
the ending is so tragic to all of them, umi killing himself and fully accepting that he wanted to be sora and embodying his dead twin. beniko accepting the fact that umi killed himself and now acts and accepted himself as sora. and the fact that sora and umi's parents are happy that umi said he will start acting sora - they definitely played a part on how twisted umi became.
its so sad and its so good. i love it. gosh this is just so beautiful written. i love tragedy works sm! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

i think stockholm syndrome is at play at some point here even though the story doesn't seem to recognize it as one.
plus knowing that caesar grew up in harsh, inhumane ways - his father teaching him to kill and kill like a machine and lee won's father's mafia who keeps trying to kill him since he is a child. lee won knows all of that, understands that caesar never knew how to be a human because he was never treated as one, he is a weapon to his father and a monster that needs to be kill to their enemies.
that does not excuse what caesar does to lre won but that explains his morality and why he reacts like that. caesar is inlove with lee won, desperately so but he was never taught how to love in an healthy way and possibly, he has no one to use as an example of a healthy relationship in the mafia world, the world he grew up in.
ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~ caesar and leewon's relationship are complex and i love seeing how they react to each other. at the end of the day, this is fiction and should be treated as such.
this is so buns the ml is just a manchilf throwing tantrums everytime lol
