Chapter 75 got me so pissed bro. Dude knew that Soheon would get assaulted and then proceeds to victim blame him in the hospital after he OD'd to avoid being raped... because he wasn't sure if the rapist went all the way??? DUDE.
They're both toxic as fuck and I'm 100% here for it, but cmon man.... Your first encounter with him was date rape, let's not act all haughty now
Soheo is one falling out with Soheon away from me dropping this. Dude is ruining this situationship with his own two hands.
NOO.. I liked Mrs.Kurebayashi, but I understand her motives. She seems empathetic, so I hope she may come to regret this choice later in the story.
The juxtaposition between her and Tanaka is interesting. Kurebayashi was initially presented as an adult whom the main characters can trust, while Tanaka was framed as an antagonist. Tanakas motives are still questionable, but its interesting how their roles have flipped (as of now).
If we are reading the connection between people and impurities as partly a queer allegory, this gives the presentation of their characters as initially trustworthy/non-trustworthy adults some layers...
I am calling it now, and I would bet money on it. Tanaka is Kurebayashi’s son. I love how their positions are juxtaposed like you pointed out.
What if the organization threatened to hurt Tanaka so she had to give Hikaru up. All she ever said was that her son was mixed, moved away, & didn’t like her much.
And a few chapters ago we learned that Tanaka knows her. His blindness and scar could be the “irreparable mixing/injury” of Iori that Ms. Kurebayashi mentioned.
This theory... ooo your brain. THAT WOULD BE CRAZY IF TRUE. But youre so right.
