The story looks so promising and the art is beautiful, but the sex scene was kind of a turn off for me... It's not that he just lost his memories, he became a "child"... Let's see how this turns out.
Yeah agreed, especially as @saru said, he depends on the black haired guy as a caretaker. It is considered rape if someone isnt able to fully consent with a right mind. Meaning because the white haired guy seems to have some form of handicap resulting in him not being able to do basic tasks like dressing and comprehending that things like pet goldfish shouldnt be eaten shows he cant legaly consent to sex.
(I study law so when ever something like this comes up in manga its good practice for me to imagin it in a real life situation)
More than an age gap, if you want, is the difference in both life contexts. Also, teenagers and young people in general (including 18, 19 and technically speaking, even until 25 y o) are vulnerable not just in the law, but in every other aspect. Life experiences are super important in their development and this relationships with older people don't make any good (I'm not talking about a 3-5 y o difference, but a bigger one).
Anyway, it's not like you can't enjoy this type of stories if they are well written and the art is beautiful, but you have to be critic of them and not justify them.
Though I agree with you the problem is that in this situation that’s unrealistic. This is a unrealistic narrative where there is no way that’s happening, in some other mangas you can see that the adult takes advantage of being an adult though. However, in this one The adult one doesn’t have more power than the other.
I totally agree with you. I won't excuse myself because I keep reading this type of manga just because I find the art to be pleasant or the story seems interesting in some way or, as you say, the situation is way too unrealistic.
However, the moment this takes a wrong(er) turn I'll immediately drop as I have done many times before.
Thank you for the update!
But. Blaming the victim of abuse is not excusable. I know it's fiction but most of the times, it reflects reality and drives people to think that being possessive is romantic and it will be forgiven in the end and that's a HUGE NOPE for me. It's not Jaeun's fault if Jihan doesn't trust him. Yes, Jihan realizes that his behaviour is wrong (and I'm glad), pero me cagüen la leche, this is exactly how the cicle of abuse works... I'll keep reading this because I hope it changes.











I'm from Spain and I don't think this will be published here... But I love this manga so much that I AM THE HAPPIEST KNOWING THAT I CAN FINALLY BUY A PAPER COPY OF IT AND SUPPORT THE AUTHOR
Thank you so much scanlation team!! I discovered this gem thanks you!
You can buy it off a site called wordery which will ship everywhere i think. Because of the pandemic it isnt currently available but maybe after it will probably be available again. You can also check ebay and other online book/manga stores. (=・ω・=)

The first three volumes are up on Amazon as well!
You can get the first two in both kindle and paper while the third one is only on kindle for now
