But maybe this will help move the plot along. I'm kind of over Kirara being dunked on tbh. I don't need perfect mcs but everyone in the manga is constantly talking about how stupid/immature/lazy/annoying he is. Last several chapters I feel like we don't see any of his good sides besides being cute...maybe just bc it's been a while since I've read through the whole thing ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
I'm not as upset as some commenters but the story is meh w/cute mc doing the heavy-lifting. I thought they'd at least give ml some kind of good reason for acting like an ass, like legit trauma/family pressure/fear of career scandal/etc...but it was just "I was scared bc of (assumed) unrequited love so I treated you like dirt"( ̄へ ̄)lame af
They're so good about expressing the different storylines of people so it shows their flaws but also their growth and realizations. The kid w/his missing dad, the girl & her grandma, the farmer & his estranged daughter, Haebom's dad...good people can still do the wrong thing. What matters is accepting your mistakes and trying to be better for the people around you
It def has some flaws bc the author went heavy on the whump/angsty tropes (abused omega, mistreated by family, kicked out & starving, multiple sexual assaults, inferiority complex, etc), but the positives are Haruto being an absolute gem, the realism that w/all his shit Miyabi still struggles but shows his resilience as he heals & grows. The romance & chemistry is super sweet and the art is gorgeous
Glaring mistake from the author imo to do a redemption arc for the brother when the issue was as serious as sexual assault. It would have been more reasonable if it was "just" bullying (as brainwashed by the dad) : Tbh this story reminds me a lot of fanfic lol so I think it's a bit cliche/outdated & that shows in the author's approach to some things
Overall still very enjoyable to read if you don't take it too seriously










honestly I'm sick of rape as a plot device. Unless it's straight pwp I'm so tired of it. And this one actually had interesting characters but it got ruined
