Seems like okaya jealous of yuda (and for several reasons too) so he bullied him... which of course resulted in nagare stepping in to save him, pissing him off even more, and the rest is history huh
Of course he isn't normal... bullying someone is already a flag that the bully has issues, but with how horrid and inhumane his bullying was towards nagare, I'd pity any therapist who would have to talk to him, and he deserves to be just chaired at this point. But its exactly because he's so off the charts that something like jealousy/romance wouldn't really mesh well with something like him and he would have a twisted perception towards it
Ngl chat, I'm starting to get bored... I've always preferred plot/character over artstyle, so I kinda hope that the baddie has some sort of exorcist powers, cause if she ends up as just another victim I might let it marinate or even drop it. The premise is interesting but the execution is honestly kinda meh at this point. Ryota killed his brother is actually better than this lol
Exactlyyyyyy, like the morbidness and themes of the story doesn't disturb me unlike the other readers (I've read worse), but dark≠good, and compared to the other horror stories rn (like tshd) this doesn't have the same oomph that I feel when reading those. It kind of feels too episodic rn. Maybe its a slow burn, but it feels a lil TOO slow for me its been more than 10 chaps already and I still haven't felt a shift/conflict in the story since chap 1. Which is why I hope the baddie actually becomes a problem for them and not just another fodder character
I totally agree. There’s no actual plot. Nothing to get excited about, like questions that need to be solved our actual mystery to keep the readers hooked. Every case is resolved the same way, so easily. As you said it’s pretty episodic, which isn’t always bad but we’re 10+ chapters in and I could’ve just read 5 instead and nothing would’ve changed
Giving the dad an eyepatch tho... Staph it
Also, while I wouldn't necessarily call what okaya feels towards nagare as love, he is def obsessed with him. It was hinted at before, but the cockroach extra and picture pretty much confirms it, considering its lit been 2 yrs and he still hasn't moved on (freak). And if yall can't see it, its pretty much a media literacy problem now lol.
I hope yall realize that acknowledging his strong (albeit unhealthy) feelings for nagare wouldn't equate to people shipping them nor romanticising those actions irl (lets be fr now). And even if people DO ship them just leave them be... Its literally not that serious
Its not completely impossible... but I feel like okaya's weird mom would've known or smth (another freak) Methinks its just a case of face same syndrome as to why okaya looks more similar to maria than nagare does. Also, if they really were switched at birth the reason/backstory behind that would've been a lot crazier, cause.... why? Just why switch them at birth?? For what reason????? And how'd he even find out something like that???
Also if my memory serves me right (Its been a while) one of the chapters showed that okaya started bullying him because he defended one of the victims (glasses kid) from being bullied, so it seems like it really has more to do with nagare defying him than birth switch.. but then again the author did pull a yakuza family in the mix, so who knows...
The next major arc will prolly feature nirei's FULL backstory with hints of sakura's. Then after maybe sakura's full backstory will be revealed. Finally, it will be suo's turn, which I'm guessing is close to the conclusion of the series.
(I have reasons and theories as to why, esp regarding the meaning of their names and the symbols used in the story, but its too long lol)
The other side characters backstories will most likely happen in the middle of, or after nirei's and sakura's backstory, but def not after suo's.
I like minamoto for the mc more, cause as of now I personally find hatano boring, since his personality is only centered around the mc, unlike mind reader who I still find funny and interesting even if he doesn't get to interact with the mc. Though his current goal is to find our mc rn, he still got his own problems and backstory and all, while hatano was obv just created to fck with the mc, which just doesn't vibe with me, esp since I personally believe that mc deserves someone better who actually has more personality than "love interest who's been pining over the mc for years", but that's just me lol.









At this point I just want kashima x toono x yacchan to end up in a threesome why would I bother choosing when there's a better option
Also that boner panel killed me
