"Control yourself next time" YOU MEAN Q IS CONNECTED TO THAT THING SOMEHOW?? "he's a pig hybrid as far as I know" my ASS
This hurts to say but I only see 2 endings for this and they're both sad:
1. "Hikaru" dies/returns to the other side and loses himself again and Yoshiki grieves for him as should've been from the start, moral of the story is that he directly contradicts himself from ch1 by learning to let go of Hikaru and "Hikaru" and that's his character arc. The typical "good" ending for a story like this.
2. They both die/go to the other side together, this mostly comes from that one unexplained page in ch32.1 of a TV report talking about how they were both found dead and the fact Yoshiki has stated multiple times he's not leaving "Hikaru" behind, although the lesson of the story might just be to learn to let go, I wouldn't put it past the author to follow through with it and the ending would probably be a lot more surreal and symbolic than a real telling of what happened to them afterwards/they'd show everyone else grieving for them instead.
i actually like the second one and have thought of it before,
part of me hope it happens
"Dubious consent" my ass it was straight up NON consent. Mc asked to stop the entire time and even wondered if sex was supposed to be "this humiliating"
The characters were unreasonable and didn't have a drop of common sense from the get go, sibling love triangles are always iffy, the art on the cover is different from the artstyle of the comic itself, which is noticeably worse for that matter, mc is a spineless pussy with zero self preservation instincts and the likely endgame ml is violent and a creep who gets portrayed as "uwu puppy lover". Dropping this after mc said he "wouldn't call it sexual assault" after the CHARACTERS IN-UNIVERSE acknowledged it was assault!!
The reviews for this manga have gone through a rollercoaster lol. The first few pages of comments are all praising this oneshot, then it appears tiktok found it and a wave of puritan comments appeared and people fighting over its morality, then now that most of the tiktokers have left we're back to comments supporting this one-shot, but mostly berating the puritan comments from like 6 months to a year ago. What a ride...
Thats sound like a "fun" ride, ahahahahahaha (￣∇￣")
I know the story is dragging a lot but I'm just happy to see Ben doing ok, he's my fav character if he dies I'm dropping this. Also was celodine always a woman?? I was convinced he was a man??
The fact we had so much development in the first 3 chapters and now it keeps dragging on and on and on with no development is really annoying. It's almost taking longer for a single character to die than for the previous 3 deaths lol.
Also the sexualization is not helping me take this seriously. For Maria I understood it to some degree because she often uses her body as a tool to trick, enchant and manipulate others, her being sexualized by those around her when her real strength lies in her intelligence was a great aspect of her character, but I have no idea why they had to change her to a skimpy swimsuit when she had a perfectly good one before, and that mom is wearing that thing you can barely even call a bikini for ACTUAL NO REASON aside from fanservice, like even the kids acknowledge it's a sexy swimsuit and it's probably really bad for protection and moving around in general, since it has literally 0 support or coverage to move comfortably. I simply cannot take her seriously anymore she's just a caricature atp.
Tbh I just don't like Okaya's mom overall, she's such a badly constructed character like why do you even obey your abusive kid?? Does he have dirt on you?? If so why wasn't it tackled?? It just looks like she's a confidenceless boy mom who does anything her son commands, but for some reason she's still cold and heartless just like him so why is she just letting him step all over her?? If they have the same personality there's no reason for her to put herself through that for no apparent benefit, her reasoning that "it's her child" has no ground when she's not the sentimental type and it's clearly not just for family bc she doesn't let her husband command her, it's JUST the son, with NO explanation. Like yes there are parents who will spoil their kids but even they would never let their kids abuse them like that, that's something for insecure, self-loathing, weak-willed people which she's clearly not, especially when compared to the father whom I could actually see in this situation. Idk man I just would've preffered if she was just a simple evil mom.
This is so peak UGHH they had perfect potential for a flex couple but authors are allergic to those
