the lesbian arc is the most painful thing ever ugh can i just ask for all of them to be happy why does this have to be slice of life why
that arc depresses me ...what if I end up that way :"/
"Everyone will survive"
Why'd that hit so hard especially in this moment ╥﹏╥
It is targeted to this current moment i think. With no one outside and the mask it shows that. Its so cute
Omgggg this was so cute and interesting!!! love it, so sweet and fluffy and unique and wholesome and good ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Soo we're gonna get a good block of chapters of angst before they reconcile which hurts my heart but honestly is needed for good and honest development. Like Wonyoung messed up even if we know he regrets it, and time is needed before he can get his second chance and for Taejoon to be able to trust him again otherwise their reconciliation won't feel as real and believable. Just thinking positive right now that this suffering will make the end more satisfying when the forgiveness is truly earned ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I don't like people using the excuse that Randolph's a tsundere or a hardass or whatever and wouldn't have let Sys treat his wound otherwise to overlook what was done. Assuming someone is a tsundere is NOT a reason to sexually harrass someone without consent, it allows for the mindset of "no" actually means yes. Treating Randolph's wound was obviously not the priority and could have been done without the need to drug him and grope his ass and body, especially seeing as his wound was left bleeding while he was being groped.
Yes Randolph is hardened and closed off from others, yes he's rejected all of Sys's advances so far, which he has every right to considering Sys's very sex driven approach towards him. No that doesn't give Sys the right to drug him to make him relax and touch him as he wants. Knowing Randolph's past, Sys could have tried an emotional approach instead of physical and gained his trust. Instead he became just another person in Randolph's life that abused their power over him.
And on another note, yes using incense that causes paralysis is in fact drugging him. It's inhalation instead of ingestion, just bc there wasn't anything in the tea doesn't mean he wasn't drugged.
totally agree with you (⌒▽⌒)
He explicitly asked for permission and they made a bet, if Randolph said no I'm sure he wouldve left. Sys isnt a bad person lol
Yes.
*put a gun to your head* "will you agree to our agreement now? will you??" *happy face*
Ran: "but I don't want..."
*loading the gun* "WIlll you agree now?!!!"
Ran =_= "Yeas whatever."
that what people call consent, right? yap it totally without any doubt someone consent to something. okay, your logic I guess ╮(￣▽￣)╭
"He explicitly asked for permission."
Only Randolph's response matters in this situation and he didn't want to do it.
"if Randolph said no, I'm sure he would have left."
He was drugged. He literally couldn't leave even if he wanted to. Especially when Sys almost broke Randolph's ankle in order for him to even stay on the bed. That's textbook coercion, not consent. At that point randolph could either endure getting massaged (sexually assaulted) or risk getting hurt even more by Sys because he doesn't want to comply to Sys's demands.
"They made a bet."
This doesn't make the situation suddenly consensual. Also he says he wants Sys to leave as his part of the bet. That alone should tell you he doesn't like Sys and the only reason he's even going through with the massage is, like i said before, because Sys could potentially hurt him even more.
I'm honestly disappointed with how some people are taking this as "ah randolph is just big buff tsundere~ and he NEEDED the massage to relax". (No he didn't. The injury was on his shoulder should have been Sys's priority from the beginning.) One of the main conflicts of season 1 was the king sexually assaulting children and y'all rioted against the king. This is also sexual assault and it should be treated as such but because Sys is cute/Randolph is a big buff tsundere, some people want to make excuses. (I'm also disappointed in the author for trying to draw this out like a sexy scene too.)
TL;DR: The massage wasn't consensual. It doesn't matter that Randolph is too stubborn to ask for help, Sys had no right to drug and coerce him into it. He could have asked the siblings to help convince Randolph to let him treat his injury or gained his trust. Just because they made a bet doesn't make it any less assault-ey especially when Sys was kissing his neck, licking his ear, and pinching his nipples during the massage.
I don't think Sys is a necessarily a bad person either, but let's not lie to ourselves to think that the "massage" was in any way okay.
THANK U.. finally a reader with more than one braincell who understands it’s not right to try and wave this off so easily. That’s what leads to normalization of sensitive and harmful tropes
I know this is selfish but this is one of my favorite mangas and I wish the first few volumes could be re-scanalated/translated etc. I really appreciate the original but the difference in quality from the beginning to the end always bugged me a little even tho it's not really important. But if the group that picked it up later on could redo the beginning so it's all the same style I would love you forever (●'◡'●)ﾉ
can't believe i'm saying this but i want to skip all romance aspects and get to some plot and character development
well FUCKKKKK
why didn't you tell him sooner??!!!!! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
also what is the manga from the last page?
