I'm surprised everyone is mad at Karino? He is displaying emotions, getting jealous and all... and most importantly, clearly trying to protect Azusa? Anyone?
I'm pretty sure that's why Karino got in the middle and slapped Azusa, to prevent Eno from taking a revenge on Azusa later on (by targeting him and turning him into "everyone's toy" I guess?)..
However, I still don't understand why Karino is hanging out with that Eno guy to begin with? Maybe he is planning to somehow get rid of the Caste game?
Anyway, I never really cared for Karino X Azusa ship that much.. Only ship my baby Atsumu (ok, Azusa too) with happiness.
Yesss, I barely remember some of the story’s plot so i’m finding answers too as to why karino stayed with eno lol haha
you blind he fucked azusa up, raped him. ur a sick bitch
Well, I AM kind of a sick bitch myself for sure, but I agree with your statement. I'm just reading between the lines and predicting the direction of the story.
Once again, I ship Azusa only with happiness, as I've said, I never cared for Azusa and Karino's ship because there was no such thing as a relationship to begin with, most of it was just abuse, rape and bullying... oh, and Karino has no redeeming qualities.
However, pretending to be a Mrs. Grundy and get angry at the author while voluntarily reading a story purely based on rape, bullying and violence, now that would make me a huge hypocrite.
So, what's the deal with Atsumu? What do you guys think is his intentions? Is he empathetic of Azusa's situation or does he like him as a person/as a love interest? Well, I think it's just empathy and infatuation with Azusa's tough character.
And why tf does Azusa push him away every time? Because he doesn't want to be pitied? Or because he knows Atsumu can't do sh*t for him?
Idk, Azusa frustrates me. Everything would be better than going to school everyday where your abusers wait for their chance to rape and humiliate you, only to sneer and curse at them, when you know it doesn't change anything for the better. Can he like make an awesome power uke alliance with Atsumu, use Kuze and anyone who would be willing to cooperate and destroy the caste? At least Atsumu thinks about changing things. But he is all alone... sigh, I just hope Atsumu doesn't get hurt any more.
As you see he only feels like he has himself. Especially when he was talking to that teacher he felt he could just deal with everything by himself and that he didn’t need anyone
I know and that's so frustrating. But I guess I get him, he is partially right, especially, after reading "chew and swallow" (spoiler ahead) and how the mc relied on other person to save him from his abuser, only to be betrayed by him on multiple occasions, I think, something like that is what Azusa is afraid of, that nobody can actually do anything for him and there's no telling if others are even willing to actually help him in the first place.
Idk, these rich good for nothing rapist teenage semes need be obliterated from the yaoi verse, but mangakas don't agree with me I guess.
Honestly speaking, I have no idea where all this hate is coming from... Like, yeah, this is not a fluffy manga with dramatic love confessions, warm imbrace and steamy onsen f*ckings, but who the hell wants more of that sh*t?..
I like that Cole has major issues and that he has a broken moral compass... that's what makes him an unpredictable and enjoyable character, all the while, the author manages to keep him relatable for readers with previous or current mental health issues...
On the other hand, Alex is a little tone deaf, a bit basic and overall a dumb-hot guy.. Unfortunately, he doesn't understand his lover, but at least he is not a manipulative, obsessive, possessive or abusive lover, unlike 99% of the semes in mangas...
The thing with guns - it has been explicitly stated by both of them, that the gun was not loaded on any of the occasions, they just tried to scare the other one... So.. I don't think it's okay to do something like that to begin with, but at least we know they didn't gamble with their lover's life for that matter...
As for cheating, I absolutely loved that bit! I loved that Cole did it because he was unhappy with his perfect lover and he felt some kind of connection with another person and it was not just a "pushy second lead forcing himself on the mc" kind of trope... Well, cheating happens, it do be like dat sometimes!.. Now, I hate the idea of cheating, I wouldn't be able to go on in peace if I were Alex, but they both made a decision to continue the relationship and I'm happy they spent over 3 years together...
