Why do stories like this always go in the direction of "Oh my lover is in danger? Better break their heart, make them think I never loved them this whole time so we won't ever see each other again!" Is that REALLY the best fckin solution??? As opposed to just communicating??
Also who cares if the stalker's a girl? She pushed Tachibana down the stairs and was being a damn creep!
What explanation could possibly justify all of this?? (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
Maybe it was a set up this whole stalker thing and even her pushing him down the stairs :T
At least thatll be more exciting to read for me xD
That way it wont be a cliché of 'oh my lover is in danger..' crab =T
its an unrealistic manga cliche
I don't know why they would do that but at least it'd be different lol ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Not interested in the psycho kid or seeing that douchebag cop's face again ╮(￣▽￣)╭ although I do feel bad for his shitty upbringing that resulted in a twisted love, but my sympathy ends there
same.
Glad chapter 2 cleared some things up, cuz this manga is walking a fine line for me ╮(￣▽￣)╭ and I actually do like this mangaka
I can't with DG. There's a limit to how delusional/naive you can be. I get that he loves Alex but it's like he completely spaced out when Alex explained the terms of their relationship. Alex's behavior should NOT be a surprise, he wasn't in love with u and he didn't want to date u.
HOWEVER that's no excuse for Alex to hit him like that (╬￣皿￣)凸
"Alex's behavior should not be a surprise"
What kind of fucked up relationships were you in? Sex only relationships are not like this. Least treat the person with dignity. I wonder why people are completely letting Jiwon off the hook when it comes to this situation when he is partly the blame for it.
This wasn't a sex only relationship though. It was for Alex, sure, but DG's feelings are pretty obvious.
Alex had been an ass since day one other than him hitting DG all that he has done leading up to this chapter has been in character. DG should have known that when Alex said sex only that's all he meant. Cause that's been explained to him already. DG fucked up and dug a hole deeper for himself and Alex is just a huge ass as always.
Because they keep just repeating what Jiwon said but not factoring in when he said it, how he said it, and the times his action contradicted it. It's a written and visual medium, there's visual cues between the literal lines, but much like Jiwon, what is said is given more weight even though the speaker is unreliable. If this were a transcript Jiwon could go back and point to the times he said "no relationship". But it's not. We know what he was thinking and feeling around the times he said those words to both DG and himself. They don't line up perfectly. It was just an excuse to treat him badly and blame DG for it if he ever expected better.
It shouldn't be a surprise because Alex has been a total dick since the moment DG exposed him and hasn't really toned it down since. He seems pretty comfortable with his shitty personality because he knows DG is weak. The fact that DG still pursues this relationship despite being exposed to Alex's true personlaity is no better than the trope about girls that blindly date a "bad boy" because they think they're special and eventually the guy will change, or the one where the girl goes on one date and suddenly they're dating
I never said Alex is completely blameless it's just that in these last two chapters, DG is making really dub decisions.
Shoot, if she won't take shouma then I will! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Unpopular opinion here (this comment is kinda long), but I agree with the other comments that say DG is at fault. Yes Alex is a total jackass, and yes DG is a cinnamon roll who deserves a loving bf, but:
1) Alex made it VERY CLEAR to DG several times that this was a sex-only relationship. He even asked DG upfront if he was in love with him and DG said no. It's entirely on DG to continue this one-sided obsession over Alex (yes obsession that is slowly reaching creeper levels)
2)Just because we the viewer know Alex is slowly developing feelings for DG, DG has no idea and Alex himself refuses to acknowledge it so as far as the story is concerned, DG's possessiveness is conceited because he's getting possessive over a man who's not his bf and (as far as he knows) doesn't have feelings for him and has no intention of dating
3) I get that DG is hurting from getting the cold shoulder from Alex but that is NO excuse for what he did especially considering the previous points. What he did was irresponsible and drunkenness isn't an excuse. He's acting like the crazy possessive gf stereotype
Despite what I said I do actually like both of the characters, but DG has been acting pretty dumb and getting overly emotional. I say he takes some time away from Alex- put Alex's feelings for him to the test- to see how Alex really feels about him.
End rant
I don't think his behavior is driven by possessiveness. He wants Alex to value him and is so sad that he becomes self-destructive in their relationship.
After reading the next chapter, idk how anyone can completely side with Alex.
You summed it up pretty perfectly
I get that DG wants Alex to love him, but he needs to realize that Alex has no obligation to. It's like those movies where the man constantly pursues the girl who doesn't like him at all until she falls for him. I just want DG to realize that he's totally capable of easily catching a much better and loving bf.
Also, I haven't read any raws so this opinion is entire based on what I've seen so far no spoilers, please
I'm REALLY hoping Kiku was friends with the grandpa and isn't actually the grandpa (￣∇￣")
...Reading the description, I don't know what I was expecting...wasn't this though (￣∇￣")
Is it common for total strangers to just randomly ask other strangers for their contact info??? I see it A LOT in manga and where I'm from that's seen as weird and mostly men do it.
It's veryy common for guys to ask for a number..It's less common for girls, but, hey, I don't see the harm in that..
Maybe it's just me then. I would be totally put off if someone just interrupted what I was doing just to hit on me without knowing anything about me. At least have a conversation with me first, like damn
Same. I first try to flirt and then ask for their info, but I terrupting like that girl is just rudely desperate.
Oh, look. Plot.
I think.... (these kids came outta fucking nowhere)
Nah, they did mention there was another prince in the beginning. But he wasnt competing for the crown.
