I usually hate pushy and posh characters like the prince, but honestly? I'm kind of finding him really funny. He's oblivious to a comical degree, I just can't take him seriously... he's still a terrible person, ofc, but I can appreciate his role in this story as being the butt of the joke.
Same goes for Rosalind. Her first proper appearance, giving Sharina that big-ass, one-sided speach... she was so full of herself she didn't even notice people weren't listening to her that level of delulu really brings tears to my eyes (as I laugh really hard) this is amazing
They're all awful people wtf is anyone supposed to find compelling here
thats the best part ig, who tf is the worst than the other?
honestly yeah that's fair lmao
I've looked around and found out enough about the LN to the point I understand the plot and ending (seeing as the last, 3rd volume of the LN still has no official english release), and while I'm excited for the manga to reach that conclusion, I'm sad the scan updates have stopped Seven Seas has only released vol 1 so far, and vol 2 seems to be set for November still :(
SPOIL ME PLS
Gladly lol I'll just rattle on for a bit first to avoid spoiling someone who might not want to read this. so! Spoiler alert!

Basically, the current story and events end in a loop. The FL and ML go on about their business being cute and all, but their death is unavoidable. This time, however, ML is the one to find the FL (he goes back to search for her because it's storming outside and he remembers she hates storms) already dead. The same thing that happened to the FL happens to him; he tries to rescue her, finds she's cold to the touch and already dead, then he himself passes out and dies -- only to find himself back at square one, with the memories of this life that just ended. So, now, he's in the same predicment that FL was in. He grows up, goes to the academy, finds her again... and discovers she has no memories, and thus, acts very differently towards him. The relationship between the two of them goes about as you'd expect -- the ML is now the one in love, while the FL is not (since she doesn't know him yet), so this time the script is flipped and he goes after her. IIRC, since he "wakes up" before the time spent in the academy, he makes sure to get the FL's family to stand out more between nobility so that there's not many complaints when they marry.
Anyways... all in all, as the story progresses this time, we learn a lot more than we did when following the FL. The plot reveals itself to be a time loop -- but one that has been going on for far longer than we can initially think, and one that doesn't involve only the ML and FL. This happens because of a curse related to the Dragon Tree; in the first time the characters are living their lives (i.e before the loop turns into a loop), some kids end up destroying a branch of the tree, and try to get rid of it by burning it in the fireplace of the fated room they seem to die at. It's unclear which main lead dies first in their first time and the exact order that follows of who remembers and stuff -- but we also learn this curse does not only affect them, but Miguel as well. This is because the curse is aimed at lovers, intending to make them prove themselves (not clear *how* they're supposed to do that), and thus a friend of said lovers gets brought along to act as their "judge". As such, Miguel never once lost his memories; he simply sees his life reset again when ML or FL die. Miguel says he's tried intervening in different ways before, but when he tries to do something, ML and FL end up dying even earlier -- so he just stops trying. He has no clue on how to stop the curse, so he just hopes ML and FL figure it out themselves. He's in a really tragic predicament tbh.
By the end, they seem to get a happy ending though. I'm not exactly sure what they do to get out of the curse, but in the "current" run of the loop -- the one where the ML remembers, right after our first story told by the FL -- a lot of "side" stories, like that of Yana and Azraq, get solved, and then the curse is lifted too. Usual happy ending stuff, ML and FL are happy together and then seemingly marry and have a daughter. A little strange bit, though, is there is a moment kind of like "Renesmee and Jacob", where in the last chapter thei daughter of ML and FL seems to be ""in love with Miguel"", as he takes care of her sometimes (as a close friend of her parents, he's kind of like her uncle). I don't think it's a weird thing where it's taken seriously, and is rather just a cute little childish infantuation. But oh well! Everyone gets their piece of a good ending so I'm happy...
Now...
Currently the Light Novel has 3 volumes and is said to be finished (ANiList and other such sites count it as finished), but I've heard people say there is a 4rth volume coming. The ending I talked about is related to the Web Novel (and it's 200 chapters) -- and I'm not entirely sure if the 3rd volume of the Light Novel contains this ending or if it cuts off and leaves the story to be finished with a fourth one. Maybe the Light Novel version gets cut short into a "bitterseet" ending where the curse isn't lifted, I'm not sure. I can't get my hands on that volume yet so this is all speculation.
They really just glossed that rope scene over huh. what the fuck
Stuck between wishing this manga focuses more on Atami and his passing crushes (rather than giving him a bf), but also wishing that someone would love him back too...
I want that person to be Adachi so bad
Yachiro should've remained chubby. It probably would've solved most problems with this story (i.e the main couple losing chemistry post slim yachiro and the
'shit twin' plot point)
I wish the second couple had more time to properly develop rather than the jump to "ok i guess i DO want to date you" but oh well!! The autor did amazingly with what they had, so I'm happy
That ending was a total cop out.
It would've been fine if Deku had just become a teacher - not the best ending, and not that realistic, but sure, I can see how he fits that role and how it would allow him to continue being a "hero", at least to his students. So, thematically, makes sense! I can get behind it!
But now, at the very last beat, there's suddenly a new *suit?* I know there have been may other suits and stuff but this just undermines the whole theme of Deku losing his quirk(s) and turning into a teacher (and yadda yadda). If Horikoshi wanted him to be a hero by the end of the manga, he could've just never stopped being one if you want the fact he is now quirkless to make sense, then you should've *leave* him like that! It's the same thing as when author's kill off a character just to bring them back: what was the point, then?
I admit I would've liked to just see Deku live out his dream of being a hero, sure, but him becoming a teacher was also an ending I could get behind. *This* ending, however, the one we got, feels like it half asses both possibilities.
One for all, All for one, All for nothing
but in all seriousness tho, i agree, i feel like they could've done a lot more with the ending to make it not feel....like such a dump on izuku, like the fact that they wrapped it up with him basically getting an ironman suit?, like....
thats just my opinion tho
This whole fucking thing is messed up fr bro. People will read stuff like this and be like "oh the seme's so cute, poor seme..." yadda, yadda, yadda... but do you realize how out of his own mind Aku is??? Suu laid it down thick and CONSISTENTLY turned him down. The fact Aku stayed and even STALKED him too is creepy af man... Suu was like "no i won't date you" and Aku really said "yeah, don't care :) I'll show up wherever you are. you can't hide from me:)"
Seriously how does anyone see this as romantic... Suu was based to tell Aku straight up that he just switched over his dependency onto Suu. 'Cuz that's what happened. He was right and he shouldn't have to apologize for that.
But alas, in the end Suu was just as deranged to find Aku's behavior cute and fall for him too... but oh well at least they're made for each other (either that or stockholme gonna come knocking). Terrible people irl tho.
Hide* not gide. I'll die happy the day they add in an edit feature
They have an edit feature tho
Apparently so, oops but couldn't access it from the comment section itself
My bad bro
fr it's just baffling how coincidently suu trauma impacted him and made him realize he wanted to be loved endlessly?
Another part that i dont like is how aku ended up chatted with other girls when he also doesnt want suu to fuck other men (different meaning but u get what i mean)
agreeable!! I dont like their relationship honestly it felt was a dumpsterfire considering how everyone kept dickriding aku probably because hes handsome (fuck pretty privilege)
I'm kinda mad they axed this because all we got to wee was them at 6/7 years old. I always find it annoying when they extend the "kid stage" of reincarnation mangas/manhwas/etc, because child characters other than the MC always end up following along with the "child speaking with the eloquence of an adult"... and in the end, this manga only ever managed to do that. So I kind of understand how this was axed, as sad as it is what might work for a novel – spanning a long time of early years – doesn't translate directly to manga, so yeah... I'm sad to see this happen, but not that surprised.
