I would be more supporting if she didn't sound like a complete child when she called him uncool made me think how young she was so it made the age difference situation as creepy as it sounds.
creepy? its "just" 12 years i mean my parents married at 18/28 with my dad being the older one so to me, her beening 17 its not that bit of a deal, and if you look at some of the stuff on here then she is one of the older "younger" ones if that makes sense. :)
Everyone sees things differently. Imo it's not "just" 12 years. However I'm not against it if the person seems mature enough to understand what they are getting into. To me it doesn't seem that way if she has no concerns for the fact that their relationship may ruin his career which like his friend said could then become an issue reflecting on everyone else for example if they have sponsors they're going to get dropped due to society not looking kindly on the age difference. She doesn't seem older to me and is pretty much like any young heroine I've read about. These are all my opinions though.
age of consent varies pretty wildly across countries. I just looked it up and Japan's age of consent is 13 and the USA is 16. I DID also notice that some prefectures in Japan have statues that coincide pretty much with American terms, between 16-18. with marriage being 16 for females and 18 for males with parental consent.
Honestly I think the whole story is fluffy and wishywashy. I don't mind it, but I can see this taken into a more realistic direction. She could've lied about her age, he would've been too busy to meet and she'd turn 18 (since she was 17) and they'd all be honky dory. Now if she was 16 or had just turned 17 ... oof gonna have to wait for the long haul! lol
Ps Anyone else notice a trend in stories with females going for beefier men? I noticed a story where a high school girl ends up in a relationship with high school guy who trains in judo or something in her father's dojo. I also noticed another story where a young girl is a muscle otaku and is all about her hot neighbor guy's muscles
If this doesn't get fixed in the next chapter then I'm letting this go. I've read a lot of manga with pointless drama and misunderstandings but this one takes the fucking cake. I wouldn't even be satisfied if/when they get together later at this point because I don't even like her.
He's the perfect combination of cool without being too cocky he's still a sweet guy I love it. They both pull on my heart strings.
I love everything about this except the romance. It's barely even romance. It's not even just the girl. As readers we barely know her except imo her bad parts. She hasn't done anything particularly great and has made no special impression. Yeah they grew up together but most of that was focused on the MC and his journey. It's ridiculous to me to just force her into the story and have no way out because she can't be with another man if it's not him or she'll die if she doesn't do it.
but isn't this what makes it interesting?
we basically have the view of the protagonist, who's main goal and focus is getting stronger and his revenge. He knows little about her, only those particular instances where she basically invaded his focus. i think it is an interesting idea to not be omniscient, but share a large part of the main characters view
no romance is better.
For me no romance is much better too. It will simply obstruct the main plot.
I meant to dislike. And yes, no romance the better. At least the mc is goal focused and not pussy focused.
Personally, I hate that kind of question. I get asked that a lot when in these situations. I can obviously tell for myself you're not okay so it would be unnecessary to ask about. I would also not speak on the issue again until you bring it up because obviously it upset you and I don't want you to be upset. I also don't want you to lash out at me (I feel I don't deserve that anger if your not mad at me) I'm sorry maybe I'm not as attuned to people's emotions and sensitivity. I've been called a cold bitch, heartless, etc. Maybe that's why but I'm really not trying to be. In my own way I'm trying to be considerate.
i don't think you're being heartless. I think it's easy to be misuderstood as cold especially when you're in this kind of situation. If anything you're actually being more considerate and empathetic than is realized. sometimes what people want is validation or be shown that someone cares -even if they get mad about it. honestly, there's no "right" move, they'll probably get upset either way -if you leave them alone they'll ask why aren't you doing anything? if you talk to them they;'ll get mad and tell you to leave them alone. I guess all you can do is do you and when people ask you aren't you going to ask me if i'm ok you can say stuff like I see you're upset and don't want to further aggravate you, etc/or i thought you might want some space or even i would but i thought you might want to tell me at your own pace.
....
on the other hand, i'm socially challenged and such at reading people so what do i know? lol xD
seriously though, hope this was at least a little helpful
Well, to be honest, I think you’re looking at the entire situation from your own perspective. The “are you okay” type of question isn’t there for you, to make sure you interpreted someone else’s emotions correctly (of course you did, you ask the question because you’re aware that things aren’t as they should be), but rather for the person who’s hurt/suffering. The “I don’t want you to be upset” thing is again looking at if from your own point of view – this isn’t about what you want; the person who was upset yesterday or two seconds ago isn’t going to stop being upset just because some time has passed, so you aren’t creating a whole new situation to be upset about. That said, you don’t necessarily deserve someone’s anger, but there are other ways to go about it – you can always say ‘hey, I can see you’re upset, and you might not want to talk to me about it right now, but I’m here for you when you decide you’re ready, or just need a hug’. Even if I got angry at someone when they weren’t at fault, I would later go apologize and explain why I acted the way I did. I do the same when someone lashes out at me in a moment of anger – I let some time pass and give back the same amount of compassion and understanding, because people are imperfect and these things happen.
All I know is that at times when I was hurt, in the end I was a lot more grateful to the people who reached out in any way than to the ones who did nothing. Thing is, silence can be interpreted as anything, and it will mostly get interpreted as not caring, or thinking of someone as too much trouble. If someone truly wants to be left alone, they will tell you, and you will leave them alone. But I think the best thing would be to do what’s in your power to help them out when they’re going through something difficult. Although, if you truly don’t care and don’t want to get involved, I’d say don’t try, because insincerity hurts a lot more.
I don't have any friends guys so this is great advice I'm glad I asked this was good for introspection. My boyfriend has said before that I see things from my own perspective so I feel that's a bit more validated from your responses so I now know to work on that.
If someone wants to upload something out of the kindness of their heart then bless them and be grateful. I don't give a flying fuck about who started translating/uploading something first. At the end of the day if they are not the author they don't own SHIT and we're consuming this shit without paying anyway so everybody should just STFU and enjoy it while it's here.
YOU SAID THIS PERFECTLY
I don't know anything about football. Or any sport. At all. Period. BUT THIS is soooooo interesting. The survival of the fittest aspect helped me stay interested so now I'm in turn interested in the sport even just a lil. I hope more ppl read this manga (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Maaaaan I know for a fact some of y'all happily read those super rapey yaoi and don't even bat an eye at it. These are clearly animals and I don't see anything wrong with them boinking. It was actually really meaningful and not just for the sake of a sex scene like ur fave rapey ass mangas out there.
Agree. I’d rather have this over rapey shit anytime. It was tastefully done, the mangaka didn’t even show us anything explicit.
Hopefully he doesn't die since he put so much effort in this and it's still pretty early. I imagined he would survive until they are adults and the guy would randomly see him or find him and blame him for his fall in life and then try to kill him.
So he's possibly a two timer and she still sleeps with him knowing (in her mind) that he had a girlfriend. Both are trash. Throw em away.
Omg yes someone on the same wavelength as me
Ikr? How could ya deliberately cheat on someone or be an accomplice?
