i honestly thought he was gonna die then the author giving us angst about how Taein had to live without him
then time skip to him dying of old age or smth
then we get a reincarnation part where they both are reborn in another timeline being happy together (for the happy ending)
and then getting a side story of them in their new life

the art style is 50/50 to a lot of people
and i was on the its not my cup of tea but i've come to a conclusion that its consistently messy which is actually a good thing cus it keeps me reading it and ngl story is good
unlike some comics where the art style is just bad/messy AND inconsistent which i will definitely drop
this one in particular is messy but its consistent so it keeps me from dropping it bc of the art style and thx to it being consistent i have slowly adapted to it and i love this manhwa now
so yeah i read the story over and over again trying to understand why people are saying mafuyu doesn't move on from yuki and that uenoyama is living in yuki's shadow and that its mafuyu's fault about what happened to yuki
but that's not even it like in the story (unless you brush off this stuff ofc) you see that Ue helps Mafuyu heal from his trauma and grief.
mafuyu also moved on from yuki, there is a difference between not moving on and moving on and from what i saw mafuyu wouldn't have confessed to Ue if he hadn't really liked him also if he hadn't move on he would've always tried to look for yuki in Ue but he didn't instead Ue was the one that reminded him of his moments with yuki (i would say in a way that is also a trauma response from mafuyu as he is trying to understand what went wrong and doesn't want it to happen to his and ue's relationship).
Not only that in the story Mafuyu did heal, move on and is in love with Ue its just that the story has soo little focus on them that we don't see it fully (also yeah ngl as i read it and noticed how Mafuyu has moved on its just the author being hung up on Yuki, not mafuyu)
also for some people that said its mafuyu's fault about what happened to yuki, no its not, yuki was already thinking about it even before mafuyu said it out of anger (like i get it mafuyu felt that yuki was neglecting him and choosing music over him and not even inviting him to at least see them doing music, at least make him feel included) but as i said yuki was already think about it so when mafuyu actually said it that was probably the last thread and he actually did it cus no one would just do it without already thinking about it for a long time.
so yeh its just the author not moving on from Yuki.
Mafuyu moved on the moment he fell for Uenoyama
