The type to read and chuck away after lol. Coz yeah, the tone is pretty much lighthearted despite the deviance of moral compass. The kid doesn't even process it as rape. He's been groomed and it was explicit how his brain was turned to mush with all that sex. I didnt like how it tried to villainize the sister for being a logical adult (author gave up and made her "bless" them anyway). The mom is just an unconventional plot twist and probably a forced plot driver to be jealous of. Aya is 23 and gives little fck actually. He's the typically romanticized delinquent and a manipulator who kept guiding how Nazuko would react lol (the sister was a letdown moment...but what did i expect from the narrative anyway? It's basically a let-live trope that gives zero fcks abt how toxic it is coz Aya is rich and Nazuko is an intellectual...both considered to be functioning and contributing citizens. Unlike if their "future is ruined")
I've been watching hamster videos on YT, and a BL manga resurfaced from the back of my head. The problem is, I forgot the title. Please help me.
So the MC is a mover, and the client was a stuck up high school topnotcher who is now an elite. During the move, he found his former classmate's hamster cage. The former classmate becones defensive which worsened the MCs impression of him. By twisted fate, the two meet at a mutually close convenient store. As a petty revenge by the former classmate, he intentionally asked the MC about his running career. The MC injured himself back in high school and quit running, which the former classmate knew was his soft spot.
Long story short, the mover has an inferiority complex who used his injury as an excuse to quit. The elite has socializing issues, but envied the mover. Yep, totally asking the Manga Title for the sake of the hamster
The art style for the characters became less unique, the flair of their characters were getting blander by the end like a compromise for a deadline or exhaustion (faces were becoming unrecognizable unless theyre named). The lack of the familiar character flair in the beginning deducted the impact. Our ML looks like an "average" tired middle aged man compared to the charming old man. And well our MC, i guess without a "rebellious" streak, looks subdued. That's just my impressions as a "vibe" visual reader tho.
But the premise of the time travel, why it happened and how it affects our MC is generally promising. The execution just felt unseen from the brother's pov because his change is implied. It also mellowed out, in a way. The pacing suddenly followed the manga route where you cut the details and follow major events compared to the adapted manhwa feel in the beginning (or maybe i'm tripping). The memory loss was taken at a stride, almost losing that 10yr time skip transition (maybe because it couldve worked in a manga but it feels awkward as a manhwa). Like the drama was missing (tho i can feel the relief in the atmosphere whenever ML smiles)
Tldr, they look tired and relieved it's over at the end HAHAHA (both the artist and our ML who waited for 10yrs lmao)
