Reminds me of ryuk and light’s relationship dynamic from death note for some reason. But tbh I wouldn’t have agreed to that contract if I were in that position, probably because I’m naturally a quitter but who knows LMAO
Lmaooo same I was trying to talk to her through the screen, “like girl you don’t know what the conditions of the contract are and you don’t what he is why are you agreeing so quickly!!” Says me who probabaly would’ve been the side character who was first to die. (￣∇￣")
I would always be the first side character to die not because I’m dumb but because I say no to the most outlandish things that create plot leading to my death. Why would I put myself in situations I’m to lazy to fix?
Well it’s obvious he’s going to give it to yena. If he gives it to myeong then period but it feels like he’ll definitely give it to yena. And if I’m wrong I’ll slice my right tit off
Y’all wtf do I do now
The childish side of me wanted haesoo and taku to end up together but it was evident enough that taku was only a catalyst for the development of joowon and haesoo’s relationship. I’m seeing a lot of hate for taku on the account that he’s manipulative but I couldn’t really see it other than him being human (and young lmao). The story is somewhat complex and I really liked taku’s storyline albeit short. The last chapter also showcased who taku was and became after his short relationship with haesoo. He began to view life more deep rather than shallow during his meetings with new people, realizing that strong bonds and connections are possible even if such things don’t last long. He wants to experience love and pain more just for the sake of it. Which in hindsight is something we all should strive to look for during our short lives here. It’s humanity.
I don’t really like joowon’s and haesoo’s relationship because
1) stepbro fantasy. This isn’t bangbros
2) the overall relationship is honestly doom to fail regardless of what we’re seeing of them being happy in the last chapters. Not because of societal pressures or family issues but because it started off as a taboo relationship that has been chaotic for over 10 years. Although taku said what he said in their departure as a way to try and hurt haesoo, regret is something that haesoo will eventually come to feel. Whether in the form of wondering what could’ve been (not even with taku but in general) or realizing that a toxic relationship (because it was one) can’t truly be 100% mended. There were a-lot of loose ends but the author themselves said it will be a tough ride if they stay together (if) .
Ah ha ha
He said and then what? What lead the author to even think about making this choice
YES THEYRE FINALLY BRINGING THE SIDE CHARACTER FRIENDS INTO THE MIX the short haired guy with the piercing is so fine and the girl with glasses is too cute THEY NEED TO INCLUDE THEM MORE
It’s very hard to find her likable I hope this changes as the story progresses though I still have low expectations
Taisei stayed with uina because he grew dependent on her. It’s probably just me but taisei realized his feelings for kako very late (the field day and on Christmas) but since kako moved on he felt as though it’s fine for him to stay with uina. Why change and move on when what could’ve been is long gone? Most people prefer to stay in the same place because of the comfort they know will never disappear (fear of the unknown and all that).
But it’s honestly surprising though it should’ve been expected. When taisei woke up she was there, and that basically led to their relationship. It’s literally just trauma bonding. His decision to leave and come back to the track team is the biggest evidence of the attachment/guilt taisei has to uina.
In the beginning I thought this was going to take a supernatural route for some reason but it was just uina actually being demented and obsessed with kako (she was literally just some lower level form of a yandere).
If this was a longer story I wish it would touch upon so many things because this story could literally be made into a proper series. Taisei’s inner monologue before during and after everything (did he like kako before? Does he wish he could talk to kako now? Would everything fall apart if he decided leave uina in order to properly find himself [through track since it was his dream]?) , uina’s backstory (why she grew so obsessed with kako (obviously because she was lonely but it’s definitely something related to her home life) )and how she dealt with kako telling her she means nothing to her now (did she move on to try and better herself or is she still obsessed with her just dealing with it quietly), and sakumas home life in depth before and after her mothers death.
This manga was such a let down. There were so many ways to go about this plot but it chose the safest most boring route ever. The first couple are okay they’re the most boring ones (no shade). But the second one? The best friend and younger guy? The first part of the story built up the husband to be a caring man who lost his way just a little because of (only) WORK but nonetheless cares about his wife. But instead of making the young man a stepping stone into fixing their marriage/separate them in a healthy way, they made the husband an abuser. It’s such lazy writing because if they wanted to separate them instead of mending them, they could’ve just easily made the husband continue his character set up and let go of the best friend instead of further ruining the already lazy plot by making him an egotistical loser. Something his young female coworker that was interested in him mentioned during her encounter with the drunker wife (choosing between holding on and letting go). The author clearly chose the abuser route to either excuse the best friends lack of communication and weak character or because the author couldn’t properly develop a more complex relationship such as a extinguishing/small candle flame marriage.
Apart from that shit story line, why did they make the boy like the main character? He could’ve easily just stayed as a helpful assistant. There’s so many things you can nitpick and it’s frustrating because I wish I could find stories that break through the mold. This story was just a roller coaster of failed ideas and set ups. And to just be done with it, the author slapped old tropes into the storyboard just so they can be safe with it. The art is just the same as the story.
