Surprisingly I actually do prefer yuan's current design, tho the initial is amazing in its own way, I feel the current fits his personality more and also what is cheolwon's type that would have drew him to yuan in the first place when it was more of a transactional relationship. I'm also not into reading about brats lol and it's nice that while there are a bunch of manga with the same kinda innocent and cute uke at surface level, I appreciate that this one tries to do more with it and he doesnt feel as one-dimensional so it's already a win for me there

Not that it means nothing, it just gets to a point where it means so much it overtakes everything and you have to take a step back because it's what's better for yourself :(((

Exactly!! After all those years seeing him with the dude he probably heard about throughout the friendship knowing he wasn't reciprocated he's a saint (or a big time masochist) for not leaving sooner my poor baby needed to get away.
I swear if after all this he dares to say some shit like "can we still be friends" instead of "I'm sorry I love you please take me back" I'm gonna destroy him

True. The pain of not being able to confess and waiting for the right time, and the fear of the result or outcome. Witnessing the happiness with you, but you see him much happier with others really hurts. Knowing to yourself that you should not succumb on the assumption, but you must assume the worst so you can protect yourself more

Its closer than I've ever gotten to reading a 3p where they all love each other but this just doesnt hit for me sadly, they just had to base the entire thing, the entire basis for why ginga and kou started sleeping together and why they feel anything for each other, as their love for yuu, like that didnt have to be it lol they go out of their way to describe it over and over again as depraved that they do this with each other so they dont have to think about yuu and it lasts the whole time, at no point do they think oh actually I have developed proper feelings for this person as well as yuu, its purely physical. And they're fully ready to compete with each other when they thought the time had come. So yh sadly doesnt hit quite right whyyyyyy doesnt what im looking for seem to exist i refuse to believe there's no demand for this kind of poly relationship

I just read the last chapter because of comments and wth is going on??? So assuming he was just raped by an ex maybe?? But then they kissed at the end or is that just like the fawning trauma response, but im so sad it sounded so interesting and cute and they just shove that in?????? For what reason???

They're cute but its being set up for something weird with kurumi I can feelllll it and I dont like it :/ like the "promise" they made when they were younger, how they go out of their way to say he's overprotective and how natsumi does what kurumi said he would find super attractive that kou notes isnt part of his usual character - not saying in any way shape or form that natsumi likes kurumi or vice versa but clearly gonna be some misunderstanding here at least and I hateeeeee thoseeeeee noooo pls god

At least author doesn't seem to be going for absolute cliche where childhood bestie is secretly (but very obviously to anyone else but mc) in love with mc and they completely fail to set proper boundaries for like 10 Chapters making their partner miserable so I can appreciate that more. Their other mangas and the prequel are so good im gonna keep reading i have faith they can make this work somehow lol

This is so conflicting I feel like im still not over takahiro being ready to sleep with his ex if he was asked to at the club and it felt like it was never really resolved and its confused me sm about his job and to what extent if at all he has sex with other people but idk if I've just misunderstood smth ??????? Because I remember an arc where taka got jealous reo was about to sleep with a woman so it seems sorta kinda monogamous in that work sense from reo's perspective so what's going on at taka's job???

i think him working at a sex club as a trainer/manager also entails being open to being requested if it was a really pressing request, iirc him training might also include penetration but not until he finishes, just bc he is takahiro who cant come if its not mareo. the other trainers i think have the same responsibility too in training that may include penetration, and that bc their standards in training are p lax or broad, the sex club may as well view it as them being able to sleep with a client upon heavy request.
i think mareo was privvy to him being the trainer and still jealous about it but doing his best to accept that this was takahiro's work (trainer) but sleeping with a client with the intent to be paid for sex and not to train was a different matter that he should have been told of, but not easy to not understand neither.
for takahiro, his job in the sex club was a manager/trainer that may extend to sex with clients if he was able to, and in a strict professional manner, much like what other trainers do, and seems like a norm for their sex club to be open to. for mareo, he only assumed/knew takahiro's trainer part of his work.
sorry im not good at wording that's rlly long TT i feel like mareo eventually understood that his boyfriend IS working at a sex club so being asked to have paid sex and accepting it wasnt rlly outrageous, which was why he was able to move past it that quick for us, but he was also completely valid because he rlly should have been told that and clarified that because takahiro knew it would be important for him and make him sad. They are both monogamous, but they treat their work as professionally as they can treat it by separating sex work from their life as lovers starting out (takahiro doesn't like it but tried to be understanding and accepted that mareo was doing sex work at the brothel)
Sorry wordy!!!! I hope i made sense, they accept each other's work that involves being intimate with other people. their current requirement for each other is to just be open/transparent about it.

People will really use anything to justify a ml's bad behaviour and this is my first time fully realising that fr and I dont even believe he killed the dad but thats not the end all and be all here for whether hes a bad person or not and neither is the apocalypse. U can still want them to end up together in the end, its a manga who cares, but let's mb not go to the ends of the earth trying to explain away unnecessary murder
It cant be left there i need to see what happens gah took a turn i was not ready for AT ALL not me thinking it was gonna be a cute straightforward supernatural-church-and-nobles-are-bad kinda thing but instead we did that but superimposed it with the anime tragedy genes that makes everything super sad and graphic
