the mom has a major fault in all this (tho im sure she had no ill intentions; inexcusable still) like- why tf would you put your own daughter down like that? worst fcking mom ever. theres some clear favoritism and im guessing amahara was closer to her dad and not having him home has affected her emotionally so shes redirecting her frustrations to her older sister. overall, i empathize but i dont condone. REGARDLESS OF HER AGE. you dont see fcking 12 yr old bullies and forgive them cause they're 12. theres accountability and consequences. you cant be a bitch and expect people to sympathize with you. life is shit for everyone, you arent an exception.
this is quite literally a major reason why couples break up
him 'liking' mo never crossed my mind wtf he couldve easily killed mo with that burning chain he put around his neck fcking psycho
im deathly convinced siwoo's story isnt over. hes def denying whatever twisted feelings he has cause he cares about suha too much to allow himself to get together with do hyeok. and im a fcking liar if i say im not up for more plot about them
thats cause jiho has daddy issues not mommy issues, and ones that dont run that deep compared to inwoo's (not to weigh traumas but) but the most major explanation is he doesnt have a broken family, nor is he a victim of abuse. i love the author's portrayal of inwoo having conflicts being w/ jiho as someone w/ unresolved trauma. he wants to act out and stain jiho so they cant be w/o one another because he feels hes too broken to stop relying on jiho when jiho isnt broken enough to not be able to find happiness on his own
this manga being a perfect description of how shoujo tropes will never upgrade let alone change. like- can they not think of any other obstacle than a third party?? if the art wasnt decent this would be a hell hole
i can tell they're gonna be the "she fell first but he fell harder" couple
the author couldve made the story longer honestly cause the plot is surprisingly good. "im sorry i couldnt wait for you" like- wtf????
i mean just ask your boyfriend for money its not that big of a deal
idk why he thought it was perfect to bring up a childhood trauma on the day of her coming of age
the sudden disproportion of their heights in the recent chapter is awful. based on the other chapters shes supposed to be a few inches above his shoulder. somehow now shes suddenly aligned w/ his pecs
i feel like ive cried reading almost every chapter
i really wanna buy that sandwich plushie merchandise they have on sale
only the queen is tortured?? what about the maid??
they all look the same why r there so many damn blondes
it's all one incest domino?!
so basically, seizou (touma heir) and his sister hanae engage in incest and give birth to ranzou (eldest son). ranzou, while growing up, is ridiculed because people believed he's illegitimate since hanae never exposed who the father was. seizou marries mitsue, hanae's best friend. mitsue 'adopts' ranzou and gives birth to ikuro (second son) soon after. then hanae dies but not before revealing to mitsue that she seduced her own brother, mitsue's husband, so ranzou is actually their sibling-lovechild. mitsue then starts seeing ranzou in a different light and chokes him, depriving his young brain of oxygen, and ultimately leading him mentally handicapped(?). plus, i'm assuming the incest had already made him cognitively dependent so the choking was just the cherry.
after hanae's death, seizou because a psycho freak and starts grxping ranzou while thinking of hanae. he also starts isolating ranzou, allowing him human interaction only when he visits him. on the other hand, mitsue who goes crazy depressed is sexually and manipulated by norihiko, a young servant who also does the same to her son ikuro as the years go by, and especially following her death. after seizou's death, ranzou is able to go out more often (still accompanied) but at his late-20s he's too far gone.
at the end ranzou's been unfairly treated by everyone since he was a toddler. and even ikuro has no clue of how much his older brother has had to deal with. possibly, only norihiko may know (to an extent) of everything that happened???
