Love the trope of mentally unstable guy x guy who thinks he's normal but actually matches his freak

... but also, Naoto, do NOT start complaining abt your relationship status dawg. Kazuma already called you his boyfriend and you got stressed

I'm kind of pissed at Ichimura. Like, how come you heard Nishino be *so* strongly against marrying Yayoi, and you still think "ending your relationship so that he can focus on his fiance" is the right choice? Nishino has confided in Ichimura that he wants to follow his own feelings and not be controlled by his parents – I repeat, confided in him that he does NOT want to marry this Yayoi person (although she wasn't named then) – and his conclusion is that the burden here is *him*? Not the parents? Not the complete disregard they seem to have for what Nishino wants? How come you apparently love him and still think the best thing to do here is to leave him to this fiance he does not even want???

Sorry for the rant, but this is SUCH a common occurrence in this trope-- that the ML always explicitly says he does not want the arranged marriage, and his hand is being forced, and yet the MC never stands up for him (even like, in private). Instead, it always turns into the MC thinking he is not worthy, or unwanted, or something along these lines. How come they always ignore the fact the ML is NOT happy with this situation?

I know Ichimura here probably thinks there's no helping it, and that this is a hopeless scenario for Nishino too... but how come?!?! Shouldn't you try to support Nishino's wishes and his happiness, if you love him?? It's clear that this arranged marriage is making him suffer, so why is it that you're using it as a chance to distance yourself from him??

God, this makes no sense. Am I just being too idealistic, here...? Like, damn, Ichimura doesn't need to get involved and solve the family conflict here, but shouldn't he be showing Nishino some support at least...?

Damn it's been so long since I've seen such a downright healthy and comforting relationship I love them to bits!!

They are. So stupid. The dumbest of asses. Oh my god, I love them.

I... cannot understand the logic here. The parents wanted Edward and Adele to take ove the dukedom together, so they... adopted him into the family? Huh? What? If they adopted him, shouldn't the plan here be to find the both of them suitable partners? In that case, while the prince is a scumbag, it would make sense for him to be a worthy suitor -- so the drama is already ready for use.
But the parents wanted them to marry eachother?? What??

Also, it's pretty obvious no one in that family wants to force that engagement-- you could've just said you don't want to marry him WITHOUT turning into a villainess. You did not need to go into a convent to escape this, girl

No but Lilliana was kind of an ass to be so pleased at not only not having to be with William, but to have him be with the princess instead I can't believe her realization was that she got jealous, and not that she has been basically shooing Will away... Trust is always paramount in a relationship, but how are you making Will trust you any more by actively sneaking behind his back to go out while simultaneously pushing him away? Like he 100% should trust you but what is going on with your logic girl

Wdym Sakura gets assaulted and she's just... okay with it??? Hello?? If it really is Elijah doing allat then this is even worse

This seems pretty interesting and the art is great, but... I'm confused about the monikers of the "sinful angels." Are they, like, proud of them...? Or rather, if they're literally playing up these baselevel sins, wtf did Misora's dad have to do to be considered beyond redemption? Yikes. No one else's wings darkened, too, despite the open displayal of their sins, so I wonder if Misora really is "worse" than any of them or if it's like, genetics.
There's a lot happening here for a first chapter, so it's a bit messy... but the concept really IS interesting. I hope they turn it down for the next chapters and expand the world building slowly.

Also, can't wait to see Pride

The symbolism in chapter 32, with Takeda as Arita's sun... augghhh my heart...... I legitimately cried. They're both so precious I love them so much, and I love the "love" they have for eachother too. It might not be the same conventional, advertised sort of "love"-- but I wonder if this is a conclusion that they'll reach at some point? That this, too, is love? I'm not sure. To me love feels like a pretty boundless word, and label-free feeling... but again, that's more me. I just genuinely look forward to seeing how their connection develops with time <3 I'm super happy Takeda took Arita for a walk, to air out both of their thoughts. I hope they keep being able to communicate at times like these, even when they don't understand eachother's feelings 1-to-1.

The only "bad" thing I have to day about this manga is I wish we saw more of Takeda and Arita interacting between themselves; some times, it feels like they think about each other a lot, but we don't actually see their day-to-day that much. We need more chapters like the aquarium one!!

And remember, kids! Being different people inherently means being different! You can never 100% experience things the same way someone else does; even moreso with feelings.

Okay, so I've read up to chapter 17-- and DANG IT I'm loving it here. I'm hardly ever satisfied with how they redeem the ex-husbands in this subgenre, but Karol (/Carl) was so surprisingly good natured I couldn't fully hate him. The fact he's looking to see how Vera has fared so far also lets her fully close this chapter in her life for good, and that's always important :]
Alan is such a cutie, too... I love him...... He could stand to grow a backbone (sorry) but I can appreciate a meeker/gentler ML too so I'm happy so far. Vera also needs a lotta love so!! Nodding along they are so cute together. My shaylas...
I gotta say I'm a bit disappointed with Vera's backstory in relation to the spirits, even if I was 100% expecting it... I dearly hoped we wouldn't go for the cliche but oh, well. Fuyurin was super loveable, so I'm not really mad at it. They did the trope well, for what it's worth-- though now I'm going to be very critical of how they handle the fallout. It's a breeding ground for unnecessary and unfulfilling drama（￣へ￣）

Anyways I'll probably keep up with it outside this site so, adios fellow readers!!
