Jeremy was really looking like an angry lion. I love Jeremy who's prideful but caring. Rough and soft at the same time (▰˘◡˘▰)
And the art style has changed. I liked the old art style as it was pretty refreshing but I guess it's okay. It'd require some getting used to it. They all look much older now and the crack energy isn't there as much. (￣∇￣")
Art styles have their own humor just like writing styles （￣へ￣）
Btw, I've always been confused whether the current emperor is a woman or not. Like I get it if she's the real one in power that's why she's called the emperor but her name confuses the heck out of me.
they all have two names (male/masculine one and female/feminine ones)
it's to confuse some gods to not take them away or make them ill as a child (this is discussed in the earlier chaps so I'm not too sure)
the emperor is a woman (and we don't know her middle name yet) and they just use the title on her but it's more likely that empress imply that you marry to an emperor but in here she is the ruler and have male consort hence emperor (and I guess it's also to do with her being the matriarch, they tend to use male oriented titles to not seem weak)
From what i remember on the novel, boys are typically given a feminine name and girls are typically given a masculine name. Or even if it’s not that case, the second(baptized/hidden) name should be opposite of their gender. Its a taboo to have, for instance, a feminine first name AND second name when you’re a girl as it’s believed it could lead to bad things. One character in this story had that happen to them as they had both a masc first and hidden name and they are a boy(or its the other way around?? Theyre a girl and they had both fem first and second name, i dont remember its been a loong time since i last read the novel) and it led to them being “cursed”.
So the emperor being a woman and having a masculine name is actually very normal.
Thank you to both of you. It makes sense now. I didn't remember this fact at all. I just know that the second name shouldn't be divulged to anyone other than their immediate family as a taboo. (￣∇￣")
The art is beautiful. I also like the showcasing of irresponsible adults. When you think about it, this was like a triangle of unrequited love, lol.
Anyway, I get that the manager was shit as he had a girlfriend and went on to get married but still led on Bandou even while knowing his feelings. I don't get why Bandou got married. Maybe due to feeling grateful to Miho (Bandou's wife) when he was at his lowest. But there was really no need to. They both knew that Bandou couldn't love her so what's the point?
Yeah, it turned out great in the end when Ayumu made him understand that and they broke off. But I was left wondering about Miho in the end. She took the most loss.
She knew what she was getting into though
Doesn't change the fact that it was her loss.
She went into a losing game
Which is why I questioned the point of their choice of decision.
It wasn't like she was the only one who made the choice of getting married. Bandou did too. Both were aware that this was a losing game.
I had to double back before realizing that it's a Harada manga. I'm filled with nostalgia.. Is the author still infamous among (new) readers?
new readers would be shock obviously
ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Haha.. I think this author's works were one of those which changed my entire brain circuitry
The fact that Ilay regrets his decision means he has changed (not much better though)
I like the new villain's character design. His face looks so serene, especially when he gave that peaceful smile. Didn't look like the villain at all
Like I know the narration is seen from KDJ's pov but we're being robbed of YJH's feelings. I felt like the 5th scenario, 'Disaster of Floods', was more impactful than the 10th scenario.. So I went back and was hit by the feels again. Indeed it was really great ╥﹏╥
And my love, Jung Heewon, has been iconic since the beginning. UwU
Thankful for having faith in KDJ. Sorry for kids to go through this.. And the fact that this is only the beginning.. :(
But seeing the 'to be continued' made me relieved (￣∇￣")
