I read the whole thing again and the ending felt like a cop out. I want to like it, I want to feel happy, but I couldn't. All these broken characters were built pretty consistently through the first 3 chapters but then the "power of love" trumps all the rape, abuse, torture, gaslighting, corruption and inmorality?
That doesn't feel like character development, that's character REWRITE. I wanted a different kind of happy ending where both could be free from each other and slowly start licking their wounds. Shoes for orphans.. come on.. COME ON!!!!!
Sadly, I'm agree with you. And I say sadly because Ogawa Sensei is one of my top five, and it was a good story with interesting development. I was all in for a "happy ending" but not like this AT ALL! I just don't understand why she decided to ended it like that, especially when psychological drama plots are her best ones, twisted and all, she gave them a proper happy ending. But ok, since I love her I still give 4 stars because the expectations created and her exquisite and exclusive art. (￣∇￣")
I feel the same way it was like yeah yuriy was used and abused for the sake of the brand by Adam and his uncle. But that ok because Adam finally feel in love with him and all is now forgiven wtf. And why did the story had to go that route like Adam had to be drugged for him to even sleep with yurih not on his own accord. It didn't feel real and I felt like it was a lazy ending an after thought.
It's based on a tragic fairy tale, and Ogawa likely decided to use the "magic kiss of love" trope to change it from tragedy to happy ending.
I'm both tormented and glad that the aoba seragaki stupid jacket lives on.
So now we can all agree that aaaaall of the family drama started, continued and will end with the butler's shit.
Friendly reminder that chapter 25.5 is really 28.5
Read as:
24 - 25 - 26 - 27 - 28 - 25.5 - 29 -30
It makes absolutely no difference if you don't, but it's less confusing.
Girls, not taking a shower is *not* a GUY THING lol. This girl isn't being "un-ladylike" as a woman and she's not being "manly" with her new body. She's just being a slob and an ass, obnoxiousness knows no gender lol
oh my god, thank you for saying this （/TДT)/
I hate it when people say they're like the opposite gender, it doesn't matter you still have the genitals and you can do whatever the hell you want.
I'm pretty sure the author knows. I'm fairly certain this was actually written by a guy.
Romance tag? Really? Come on mangago staff, don't troll the newcomers...
maybe if we go deeper into the story..
I sure hope Hayato isn't planning to work as a detective in the future cos' he really fucking sucks at it. He never bothered to ask where their money comes from, he claims to observe his brother soooo attentively but never noticed how sick he must have felt, never noticed a locked door??!? He goes through the phone but doesn't return it back to it's place??? Never saw him sneak out at night, any signs of abuse, weird phonecalls, condoms, crying, different bathroom habits.... NOTHING?? Aw no, big bro is being mean and hes a big nasty homo! POUTY FACE (￣ε(#￣)Σ really? You're not going to panic, ask is he ok, ask why, ask if the money he just returned was to pay for your new school uniform.. no? Yeah you really love your brother, you ass.
Are you shitting me with that alternative title? Someone should get fired.
hhaha
And there it is. We were charmed by Yashiro. He's been desperatedly trying to convince everyone; "I like it! I like pain, abuse, disdain, the hate. I deserve and want it!" But we knew better.
