I've been on a yandere male lead binge (there really aren't a lot of good or very sane stories with this tag tbh) so I fell upon this and I really like it. I probably wouldn't like it if I took it seriously but it's not the kind of story I could take seriously anyway.
Twelve chapters aren't enough to develop the story. I'm a bit sad that it might never get an ending.
I stopped around ch112 because I wasn't feeling good about it and after looking for spoilers I now know the sh*tstorm waiting for me in season 2. No thank you. I'm good with knowing about the end.
I got into this because I was looking for a possessive/yandere male lead in a romance, but I'm not up for separation angst or something 'predestined' and I skimmed ahead just to check (along with checking spoilers) and the most interesting character for me doesn't even appear for most of this season. This is the first time I've ever said I do not give a damn about the prince in a story.
The story was wonderful until I started getting annoyed by the MC's actions. She never asked the right questions, cared about the right people, just did as she pleased while someone else's life was tied to hers and never thought about the consequences. I have met many realistic MCs who were quite useless/annoying in their selflessness, but this is the farthest I've seen it be taken. I wish, if she was going to be that way, that her life wouldn't have been tied to the dragon, something she was completely aware of.
While I really adore the beginning and everything up to CH112, everything beyond just lost me.
So here's the spoiler

I didn't read a lot because I was only interested in the ending and some things were obvious. So what's currently going on in the story is stuff that has happened before. Kairak and Reana have had different lifetimes together, where she ends up dead and he goes crazy. I think he destroys the world but I'm not sure there, but every time he turns time back so they keep meeting. (I figured this out because she meets the older version of him every time he tries purification, but I did find out why by ch141. Kairak was 'tainted' before he was born because his mother became corrupted. That's the real reason he attaches to Reana and becomes yandere.)
Kairak doesn't show a lot in season 2. A lot of fans actually dumped the story because the separation went on for too long. I skimmed from ch112-141 and he only showed up briefly in 2 chapters, but I don't know about the rest of the season. I do know when they meet again, even though everyone tells her Kairak is evil now and I think people had died thanks to him though I'm not sure, Reana still loves him. I think some people thought she would fall for the prince but that never happens. Her loving him no matter what is what saves Kairak (I think.)
I'm not exactly sure if he resets time again in this lifetime or if Reana gets her old body back, but I did find the ending. It might be in a different life, I don't know, but the two of them end up married with a son called Kain? They don't show his baby years, but he is shown as a teen I think, with a love interest in the epilogue. Reana and Kairak don't actually show up much in the epilogue, it's mostly their kid. I think he's also a dragon, but it's hard to be sure. (It might be a different lifetime though because I read somewhere that some of the people who died in the main story, like Reana's brother, are still alive, but Kairak, Reana and Kain live in a valley away from people.)
The story ends at ch 181, there might be specials but I'm not sure, there were drawings shared on a forum I found of them in different lifetimes. one where her father dies and she goes with Kairak, and another where the prince tries to win her love? But she rejects him.
The original story finished in 2015. There was talk of a new season/spin-off series but I didn't read about that.
It's all I remember but if you search abide in the wind spoilers or end you'll find the forum. It has a lot of pages but it spoils the whole story.
There's a reason why she prefers the prince to Cabel. Whether he's being real with her or not, most average people would pick someone who was nice to them than someone they were afraid of as a love interest. We as readers know there are going to be developments that would change her mind to be with Cabel, but it doesn't change that to her, there was a moment she was scared because she thought he would hurt her, even if he never would (though this isn't 100% confirmed either.)
On the other hand, the Prince is the typical prince charming on the surface who's been the lead of many romances. I'm glad he's got a little more depth compared to most, and I would prefer to see him come to care for her as a friend rather than a love interest. He's a fresh take on a very loved but very cliche character, so I hope the author takes a new route for the second male lead too.
I honestly wouldn't feel sorry if this kid died, not even a little bit. It was already weird when he started feeling up the vampire. Aside from the fact that this is practically a 400 year old floating corpse, he KNOWS that this is a vampire, and the guy is alive, and very possibly awake, but is taking liberties. Not cool. Then, he goes and kisses his best friend in front of everyone, including the girlfriend. Very many shades of not cool, even if I'm here for the bl myself.
And then the talk with the said girlfriend and how he went about that, he should have tried to talk her down, not act all entitled. He shouldn't have done something he'd need to apologize for in the first place, but that couldn't be helped, he didn't handle this properly at all, and he could have at least run after that girl when she went off ALONE since they already knew there were murders happening around that area. At least he could have told someone, or he wouldn't have been picked up so quickly by those damn cops! That last sentence he said just as the girl ran away "you indeed don't know him as I do" or something along those lines, I hate that. It's even worse that the girl goes off and dies! This is the MC, but in an indirect way, he got someone killed and that is not cool with me, especially since I see no problem with this girl or how she reacted, it was warranted. He didn't do the killing, but I am still blaming that girl's death on him.
As of ch21, I'm probably going to keep reading just to know how the story goes, because it's taken this long just to see the vampire open his eyes again and I hope the plot moves from now on, but I will not be letting go of this guy's idiocy. At this point, I'm only reading for the blond vampire so if he disappoints me over the next few chapters, I can take this off my list of waiting-to-update stories.
I also want that vampire woman dead, but that's it.
While I agree that he made a number of bad choices, I don't think he deserves to die. He didn't actually wish for her to die and he was overly sensitive and frustrated because he was despairing over a seemingly hopeless love. As for feeling up the vampire, if he really knew the guy is alive then it was truly a shitty thing to do but for some reason it feels like he was in a 'dream state' where he didn't really register it all. He might have only half believed the guy was a living vampire or he was completely out of it.
Thanks, I'll check it out. If its BL, one I've followed and really like is 'here u are.' Its a masterpiece. There's one other BL I don't remember the name of and one hetero that I found recently. Good art and good story, but for the rest, even if the art is really pretty, the stories get hard to follow after a while.
I found this story a long time ago and I still go back to reread it often because of how the relationship develops, plus the sexy art.
First, I completely think yoshitaka was falling for kawamura while still in school. There's a scene after they're together for the first time that makes me think so. But he thought kawamura was straight, he even said he had a girlfriend. Then, when he left after the thing with his dad, kawamura sent the sempai after him.
Kawamura on the other hand thought of him as a friend, didn't think of him as more than that until he found out he and the sempai were a thing, and it was right when yoshitaka was leaving and he never went back. He realized it was love late, but he did date girls before they met each other. Its just not shown in the manga, but he mentions last having a girlfriend in college, so he did date while they were separated, he just didn't forget the emotions from high school, perhaps because they were never realized.
As for sempai, I don't know what to think about him, but I totally believe yoshitaka and kawamura had mutual feelings for each other, and there is no betrayal. There's nothing wrong with yoshitaka staying in contact with the sempai as long as that's all it was. There's also nothing wrong with him sleeping with glasses sempai as he wasn't with anyone at the time, he was free to do as he pleased. It'll bother some people anyway, me as well if he'd done it after knowing kawamura's feelings, but he didn't do anything wrong. He didn't say anything to kawamura, who was straight, probably because he thought he had no chance, and the thing with glasses sempai might have been convenient for both of them. (This was high school, so they were all teenagers back then).
This is all just my defense for this manga. No one has to feel the same, but this is why I live the story so much.










Just skimmed the end but this is crazy.
