GlisteningRain's Favorite

*grabs chest*
Is this the feeling of love? (▰˘◡˘▰)

Narrator voice: That was a lie. It was in fact, fear.

War has no use whatsoever to the common folks. In fact, they're the ones who lose the most. Presidents and Prime Ministers wage war on terror, but not in their homeland, but in the homelands of innocent civilians. Children live in fear of bombs and bullets, while other countries make money off the bullets and bombs they sell. Everyone fights in the name of honour and nationality, two things that God, if there is one, or Nature, never made.

I liked this webtoon a lot because it didn't follow the typical "get back together" scenario. She's not where she wanted to be at in her life and getting back into the relationship would have been the same cycle. And she broke that by leaving. Her ex found someone else, he moved on, he lived, his life continues. And so does hers. She got her own place, a job, and her life continues. She's happy. He's happy. I like how it shows that life continues to move on beyond their relationship and that there is more out there for them whether it be a new relationship or a new career. I think it helps break that whole "what do I do now" after someone breaks off a long-term relationship. It shows that two people who were once in love are able to to continue functioning and be their whole self and continue life in a positive way.

I dont think the end was dissatisfactory at all. We have these expectations from fiction based on the tropes they fall into but I find the authors attempt to make this close to reality very commendable. Its holistic and natural. It's sad to see the rating of such a good story so low just because everyone didn't accept the outcome.

I see a rose
I see a boat
And I smell accident that’s coming close

Well it’s been some time since y’all mr Han and Param shippers got fed so I guess eat up while I stab my eyes

I read this manga a long time ago, and I came to read it again today... It shocks me reading the comments of how many people didn't understood the ending, I understood it and I read this when I was in high school :O

The ending doesn't mean that they will not stay together forever:

1. The annoying ex-girlfriend says they will definitely break up but that's because she's bitter, this doesn't mean anything, Daisuke's mom is a good person, she will not make them break up because Aikawa has a horrible past I believe it more plausible that she will show love to her and concern instead of rejection.

2. The childhood friend never says that they will break up in the future, but what she does says is that it will be though, the future will not be easy, and that's true.

3. Daisuke says Aikawa may find in the future someone better than him, more mature, etc... But that's just means that he loves her so much that he would be willing to let her go if someone better comes (and if she wants to go with that person), he just loves her that much (and doesn't want to hurt her even more than she already is), for all we know he may come to be that person one day, the man that Aikawa needs, someone gentle and mature, he may become that person because of her.

4. Aikawa says that Daisuke may find someone more suitable for him, someone who fills his eyes more, someone more cheerful, but that's her lack of self-love (self esteem), he loves her and just her, maybe this can change but we do not know about it, and knowing him he will not change, Aikawa just needs to start loving herself more, it will be hard, but with time, patience, understanding, and a lot of love, she will start healing, and I think Daisuke and his mom are a good medicine for her.

Everyone may understand the ending in anyway they want to, because they may or may not be together forever, but the manga is not telling you that they will actually break up, the manga is just telling you that the future will be though, but they love each other enough to go through it together. The manga doesn't sugar coat all the difficult things that may happen in the future and it has never tried to make a fairy tale version about abuse and rape, it showed you how horrible it is and how much that can scar a person, maybe for life. It also doesn't tell you that Aikawa now is magically completely healed because of Daisuke, no, she is seriously traumatized physically & mentally, she may or may not recover from it, but Daisuke loves her so much, and his love it's so selfless (because he just wants what is the best for her) that he will not hurt her further, instead he may start to help her heal... Little by little.

The ending is open and uncertain, but that's how life is.

I love how beautifully written these fucked up mangas are. Our MC is not unjustly punishing and blindly killing people. He is a high functioning psychopath who subject criminals to the justice of his own terms. I'm not justifying the crimes he committed and will continue to commit. The actions and punishments he did are only acceptable within the parameters of a manga. What I'm implying is that, in real life, there are the untouchables and criminals who get away scot-free. There are victims who's entitled for more yet can't get the justice they deserve. And there are the bystanders who even though did not aid the criminals, did not also help the victims. We all have demons inside us, and maybe that's why I find this story interesting and somewhat relatable.


Anywaysss, I'm very happy to be able to read this masterpiece and I'm excited to see how just the author will continue to provide us with thrill and excitement for the upcoming chapters

If ML knew since they were kids that MC had that ability, then he would know MC cant control it and would accidentally k!ll someone at the slightest fear or anxiety and etc.

So that would mean he deliberately chose a theater with horror movie playing so that MC would accidentally do it due to his fear, and maybe ML hoping MC would remember more when that happens. WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY POINT: ML is not only manipulating MC with words and actions, he could also be manipulating circumstances just because he knew more about MC and their past!! >:O

MC U BETTER GET FAR AWAY FROM HIM WHILE U STILL CAN THERE'S A BIG RED FLAG RIGHT THERE SO RUN FFJDKFJFJ

Willard is an angel of destruction. When he becomes filled with darkness he descends to the world and where he descends, he causes destruction. Time and loneliness cause the first scene of destruction we see. That is when he meets Elias and is intrigued by the pain and darkness in his eyes. Elias has known pain before Willard descended and destroyed everything. Willard takes Elias to his "home" and keeps him there. Elias' feelings of fear and hate and Willard's feelings of contempt soften and become love over that time. Elias realizes he loves Willard but thinks Willard does not return his feelings. So, he decides to jump from Willard's home in the clouds in order to die. Willard stops him because he actually does love Elias. However, loving an angel of destruction and being loved by him fills Elias with darkness and it corrodes him, quickly causing him to die. Willard is again filled with darkness and prepares to descend, but this time loss and regret are what have filled him with that darkness.

I’m sorry but I can’t find the kid cute even though FL says so ╥﹏╥ Like his eyebrows take up 30% of his face and I feel so bad saying that

Finished reading it on webtoon n oooof damn, ofc i was expecting it to be this good since i have strong faith in the author but still damn boi ! It's a masterpiece ffs

After rereading this a few times, it is geniunly a great storyline, too bad the execution is confusing, which is a really pity as it had alot of potential. It made me cry so much when I understood it. By the way, I cannot bother with names. This is a rough summary so you are not confused but you won't actually feel emotions unless reading the actual manga since I skipped over details.

First Story:
There are twin brothers: an alpha i believe while the brother is an omega. Alpha is dating either a fellow alpha or beta (idk, lets call him a beta for now otherwise it is alpha 1 and alpha 2 and that would be much too confusing) they are so very inlove and have dreams of growing old together.

alpha and beta are walking and they decide to go eat somewhere, beta has a coupen for that place but left it at the school by accident so goes back to retrieve it, unfortunately omega is there, while in heat. In the end, beta and omega have sex, therefore marking eachother and omega is pregnant. Obviously, Alpha is heartbroken and cuts ties with all his family and friends after this.

Years later, Omega passed away due to a disease. alpha goes to funeral and meets beta with the daughter. Beta gives Alpha letters that Omega wrote while he was in the hospital, talking about how he was sorry that he always took away what the alpha wanted and he truly missed alpha, as he geniunly loved his brother.

In the end the alpha makes peace with this. I am bit confused about the end, he either falls inlove with beta again, they get back in a relationship or he remains platonic and, at most, becomes a father figure to the daughter.

Second Story:
Main character is an omega. He knows this pretty woman, she is an alpha. After some things happen, they have sex together. Later, they break it off, probably because it was an one night stand.

Then he sees this beta, thinks of him as his next toy for sex i guess. They do have sex a couple of times, and they get emotionally attached to one another, like they were inlove and happy with one another.

But it is revealed later that the both of them were using the other as a rebound, and guess what? the beta is married! He was unfaithful because he found out his wife had cheated on him, the wife turns out to be the alpha the omega had sex with.

In the end, they stop seeing eachother and go their seperate ways, the beta going back to the alpha and the omega getting a new proper lover.

Both stories just goes to show, that some relationships just aren't meant to happen and that life is cruel, but it does goes on.

is probably one of the few authors/mangaka that actually studied the historical settings they have in mind. She didn't use the element of supernatural and not of this world universe, to add elements they invented. which is common in recent manga viewing nobility circumstance like something so easy to disrupt with the popolar concept of "if they love each other or if the heroine from a commoner background is poor and miserable the nobles would took pity of her".
As seen in this serie nobles especially in 18th are more self aware and cautious... more than ever they're protective of their position even at a cost to drag out a poor commoner girl out to save their butt. Plus its also the period where people with no historical noble bloodline are emerging and getting success. #－.－)

And they won't go all smiley and accepting because "you're a poor commoner girl that is bullied" like what I've seen in the webtoons featuring nobilities.
Ofc, there is fantasy theme on them that cover all the etichette the author invented.

For example, how more than often we see heroine from aristocrats faction that goes around with lose flowing hair in webtoons. In 18th and early 19th,you could keep up that type of hairstyle if you're young. Once you hit around 15-16 year old women start to do their hair more composely. Which is not that unheard as seen more than once in movie about nobles all the women even hold their hair up and doesn't let it lose and flowing like in novels...
While webtoons picturing noble girls convey the image the more hair you let loose the more beautiful you are.

In terms of an actual portrayal of noble society and gathering this novel so far is the ONLY ONE that reached a that level of detail.

Another Amazing thing is that her works does not revolve around the MC completely. The side characters are no people completely smitten by the MC and her affair they have their own life. They are not there just to make her look good and tell the reader the MC is understood. But they have their own stories.

It's kinda like the italian neoralism in cinema where any people of society has their own stories and they're not characters created to compliment the protagonist. Any person of different social class is a protagonist with his own dynamic and turbo lent life.

Most of all, i love the RESPECT she give to the cultural referenced used in her story. She respect and made an effort to understand the cultural historical material she used and refresent those instead of using the setting about nobility as an excuse to draw Lolita dresses that have mixed styles that dialetically apart in terms of conceptio and timeline. ╮(￣▽￣)╭


I love how she put an effort to study and learnt the historical theme and setting she used. Understood and compliment and celebrate throught art.

WOW the story is so good. Totonou's or rather the author's thought process is so brilliant

I have always loved mystery novels. My most favourite novel is Fatal Voyage by Kathy Reichs.
Never would have thought that there is a manga that gives me similar feelings to when i read the novel i mentioned above.

when the mc said "my fashion isn't me giving consent", i fucking felt that. no matter what clothes you're wearing, you're wearing it for yourself whatever the reason. may it be for comfort, for empowerment, or even just to make yourself feel beautiful and sexy. it doesn't give others the right to judge you for your fashion and it especially doesn't give men the right to come on to you and sexually harrass you whether it's verbal or physical.
