This manga feels like midway through the author decided to change the whole plot and now literally no one matters anymore and the relationships feel so absolutely shallow? Still, gonna stick up in the hopes of seeing my omega x beta pairing.
Yes it's now like 2 separate mangas. But like you, I'll hang in with the hope of more of the beta x omega relationship.
I agree!!! I’m like— did everyone forget that the alpha was collecting omegas??? Why are ppl wanting them to work out, he’s too dirty to redeem! That’s just like marrying someone that already has multiple spouses... hmmmm I’ll pass. (●￣(ｴ)￣●)
I didn’t forget that. That was the only reason why I’m so against them pairing ┗( T﹏T )┛
Despise everything, I still can't hate Christoph. To me, his situation is much like Kyon's with Lucaon: he was saved/raised by the Ultron, and he has this sense of duty to protect his brother and his work, through whatever means possible, since he's the only one that cares about him. On the other hand, if Christoph were to tell the truth so he could be with Ryan (which seems to be what he wants), there's no guarantee that he would even survive long enough to be accepted by him, since both Ultron and Hunters woul be after him. Christoph is really in a tight spot, I wish neither he nor Ryan had to go through this, but well, if it means Kyon and Lucaon will be happy together so by all means go ahead ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Its not the same he didnt lose his family by the hands of Lucaon nor did he sentence him to die by poisoning his food he has killed too many people for sympathy in my eyes like or not he should share the same fate as his victims
I was more comparing his situation to Kyon's (who had a traumatic experience as a child, but since he was saved by Lucaon, he became loyal to the point of killing or dying for him, despise all the terrible things Lucaon has done to him throughout the story - also, just to clarify, in my understanding, even thought Kyon didn't have his memories, his feelings for Lucaon still persisted, reason for why he accepted everything thrown at him). On the other hand, although obviously murder is always wrong, i can't really sympathize all that much with them Aristocrats, since it's easier to see people who suffered in their hands (i.e. Christoph and Sian), than people who thought they were nice. But then again, this is just my opinion (づ￣ ³￣)づ
You have a point there but in Lucaon defense he was actually nice to them until the incident but I think your right I read his parents were also mean. I guess it just mean no matter how you spin it its all wrong and because one was made to suffer they bring suffering upon others, but still can't get with Chris because he's the reason Lucaon is like that and the reason he made Kyon suffered (well the uncle is ), but he's the tool so still pissed lmao...
This ending was so worth waiting for 2 whole volumes ヾ(☆▽☆)
Taesoo and Sooha's relationship is so healthy it could cure cancer (⌒▽⌒)
I really like this story, I love Chii-san and Hina.... But i am so bothered with the fact that Hina does seem like a replacement for Hina's past love, Shinoda. Chii-san seems to have fallen in love at first sight, and it's obvious Hina and Shinoda are very similar, physically wise. And now even Shige said that they both had "the same air to them", as in their personalities are alike too. I want them to be happy, but I feel so conflicted! Hina is not Shinoda and shouldn't be treated as replacement... he is his own person, has his own merits. I am kinda disappointed in Chii-san actually ┗( T﹏T )┛
Chii-san's past love, Shinoda** oops
I didn't take it like that. For me, Chii-san feelings for Hina are real, there's no doubt. Since the beginning he loved him. Yes, Hina does seem similar to his past crush, but I can't see where/when was he treated as a replacement. I mean, I do have a type of person that I like (physically speaking) but that doesn't mean I love them because of their appearance or because they remind me of the first person I dated (even if they look similar it's not like they are the same person).
Chii-san DID use the black haired guy as a replacement, tho, and he didn't look anything like the guy he actually loved. For me, taking someone as a replacement is using someone to satisfy your lust or to ease your emotional pain without feeling anything for them because you're in love with someone else (it's unfair because you're ignoring that person's feelings, prioritising your own).
That's not the case with Hina at all, I mean, look at Chii-san, he's basically fawning over Hina all the time and it so damn cute xD
What I mean with all of this is that even if he fell at first for his looks, Chii doesn't feel anything for anyone other than Hina and thus he's not using him. He's genuinely in love, and he deserves that happiness! Like, really
I see your point, and I agree partially, but I still have two major issues with how the relationship was portrayed.
First, I think it's important to point that, as far as preferences go, it would mean that Chii would like blond or tall man, but that's not exactly the case in the story. I have a hard time believing in the "love at first sight" trope generally tbh, but here it got all the more complicated because we are talking about a guy who looks a lot like Shinoda, who Chii used to love. Therefore, the "love at first sight" means that Hina's looks was the very firts thing that got Chii's feelings going (at least in the beginning, since he couldn't know by that time how cute and kind Hina is). So, Chii's feelings today COULD be directed solely at Hina, but I for one would feel bad and insecure if my relationship had started because I look like someone else they used to love in the past.
Second, to me at least, it's not very clear that Chii no longer harbours romantic feelings for Shinoda. He got a powerful blow, being rejected after what manager-san did, right when he had a chance of seeing his love returned. He, to this day, hasn't spoken to Shinoda and tried to make amends. This shows that he either still feels ashamed or can't bear to see Shinoda's look of contempt. Either way, there are still (strong) feelings involved. That, added with the fact that his new boyfriend so happens to look exactly like Shinoda, makes me very uncomfortable.
It's as if, unconsciously, Chii is trying to erase his past "mistakes" (protecting Hina from manager-san, trying to not suffocate Hina, etc) and live his lost relationship with Shinoda - only now thorough Hina.
Well, I hope they talk about these things in the upcoming volumes, and that Chii and Hina can be very happy together, as I think they are one of the cutest couples I've ever seen
I don't know if it's because I've read the raws already, but I can't seem to hate Sooah. I mean, I still think it's nasty what she's doing to Mirae, but to me it's so clear that Sooah also has MAJOR self-esteem problems, and her way of dealing with them is doing what is expected of her, which in this case is: getting together with Kyungsuk (throughout whatever means necessary). To me, her character is there to show us the same thing Mirae shows us: how much society's pressure for "beauty" fucks up our girls, and how it affects the way they act and deal with their lives in general ┗( T﹏T )┛
I cant hate her too, she is such a well made character
I completely agree! It’s just really sad...
It seems this whole misunderstanding mess has been dragging on for quite a while but if we analyze the timeline, it's actually been only two days? This is the quickest solution I've ever seen and I love both my babies who do not keep quiet and voice their concerns (even if one of them needs to be drunk to do so).
Loved this, but I wish there was a sequel to make Saya happier - I wouldn't even care for the yaoi, just give that man someone to appreciate him!!
In a side note, this is a very common trope on mangas - once the parents divorce, the child will stay close/in contact with only one of them. I find this so weird... your marriage is over alright, but not your parenthood. Even worse is that Saya wished to still maintain contact with his children, and that contact doesn't need to necessarily have a bad effect on the mom's new family. Just so frustrating.
As a person with divorced parents and both remarried, I'm always disappointed when, in stories, a parent end up leaving the child to the other. It's so annoying...
That's typically how divorces in Japan work. If the mother is remarrying the children will be removed from the biological father's family register, and placed on the step-father's family register. The bio-dad typically has 0 rights to his children after divorce, and it's not uncommon for them to only meet a handful of times after the divorce, depending on how hard he pushes to see his children. My friend has only seen her dad like 3 times in the 15 years her parents have been divorced
True. Even tho my parents are divorced, my dad still visits us to give allowance and other stuffs.
as a person with divorced parents, I never saw my mother anymore after the separation so there are really cases that are like that it can't be helped
I want to put Kami somewhere safe where no one can hurt him anymore. Goddamnt it, imma punch the next person who makes this previous child cry, even if that person is Waki (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
me 2, my heart keeps on achin after reading chapter 2. NOBODY SHOULD HURT OUR PRECIOUS KAMI （￣へ￣）
Let's admit: we all knew this was a rape story. If we choose to keep reading, we knew what we were signing for... however, I did get uncomfortable with how the rape was portrayed, as in: too realisticly to be ignored. As you can all imagine, I don't really "mind" rape in yaoi, mostly because it's shown in a light, romantic way that has nothing to do with reality (as in: the sex is used as a plot device to evolve the feelings of the other part). Here, however, I could pinpoint all the little things that are oh so common in real rape scenes (Kiyou blaming his actions to justify the rape, Tsuguri repeatedly saying that Kiyou wants to be held, Tsuguri playing the victim afterwards as to manipulate Kiyou into pitying him, and so on). To me, this was what made me uncomfortable: it reminded me too much of reality.
Well, still, looking past that bad feeling at the bottom of my stomach, I enjoyed their story very much and really liked this couple so ╮(￣▽￣)╭
