I unironically think that Haga is one of the most fascinating ideas to come from this entire story which is why I’m so disappointed with how he was handled.
It would be one thing if he was just a villain standing in the way of their true love but the fact that he was sexually assaulted in his formative years by a teacher whom he trusted due to the fact that he was a switch which caused him to reject his submissive side and fully focused on his dominance side and just so happen to find someone who he would be able to do that work is fascinating.
I think it’s really interesting. The fact that the characters in the story seem to underestimate his trauma because if they knew the root cause of it, I think they would be moving more gently instead of how aggressive they do it and I don’t think the long-haired guy would especially taunt him.
That being said, I am disappointed at the ending due to the fact that after he breaks down they go hey It’s ok let’s fix this and then it’s reveal that he is going to be facing his identity as a switch and that’s all fine and good but like if his trauma is strong enough to cause all of this, I don’t think it would be resolved over breaking down one time like give him his own story to face this. Commit to the idea that you made.
and f9r this reason i need either a set of side stories for haga ir a whole manga fir him. and getting himself a switch partner (idc if gf or bf) i just want him to have hia happy ending
They did write haga poorly.
I genuinely believe that this is one of the best representation of just because the character is nice doesn’t mean he’s naïve because he’s very strong and is very kind and nice but like he will still murder you in cold blood for harming his friends and you know what. that makes him a king
I just want to say she is MUCH stronger than me because if I had her life and suddenly had to marry him, I would crash the fuck out. They would have to invent inpatient care for the levels of suicide I would bring to the table. A farmer’s wife? A FARMER’S WIFE?!? I can’t even be a farmers wife now I would NOT survive as her. So the fact that she wakes up each every day? God bless.
I’m so sorry, but they caught feelings too fast her especially because this man is not your ally The first time you guys meet it’s a brief encounter somewhat positive. OK. The second time you meet, he is dragging you through the mud in public And as you walk away, he grabs you. The third time you guys get drunk in a public space together because he specifically wants to hear you speak your mind so drugs you with a specific goal in mind. The fourth time you guys meet it’s in a conference room and he does nothing while people are dragging you through the mud for the second time Go back for you to cut your hair and then he pulls you into a hug. He is not a hero he is your enemy!!!
To be fair, they met in multiple balls. And between the time she got drunk and ranted to him in the balcony to the masquerade ball, FL did say several months have passed. Also, considering the era, ML catching feelings for her after meeting her a few times is normal.
Yeah, He's strong with his approach .
It's probably the pace of how the story was told that's why things seem too fast.
I think it’s so funny everyone is complaining about the fact that we haven’t got the second couple story (me Included) But it just hit me that there is no second couple because the friend literally doesn’t have a life outside of the MC. I mean, does he really yeah but narratively no, his own family likes MC more than him.
If anyone ever treats you like how he treats his friend you need to leave that friendship
Are we really giving real life advice to ppl based on assumed behaviours within a friendship which is only explored in a very limited way and used as a plot device for the main couple's relationship? You can speculate, but surely unless you make an extensive analysis on the matter you can't quite turn this into a life lesson
Sometimes it's valid enough to just say that we wanted more of a side character and that we're coping with that disappointment.
Well yes! Even though we see a very small portion of these characters interaction for the main chunk of the story, it is not healthy and if someone is treating someone else like this, it’s probably not healthy! Like everyone else knows their friendship better than obviously however, sometimes you need third advice. I’m not arguing for the disillusionment of all friendships, but sometimes you don’t know something is unhealthy until you’re outside looking in.
I mean, also we did want more of the side character. He is interesting character, but he’s getting fucked by everyone, including the writer.
Extremely limited, circumstancial information and a vague conclusion of "probably not healthy" isn't sufficient reasoning nor evidence based on which to pathologize real life relationships.
I hope you understand the whole premise of your advice is false.
If you'd like to genuinely help yourself or others out, I'd suggest actually making an extensive analysis using real life examples, based on the jumping-off point of your choice as presented in a oiece of fictional media. Which is really interesting when done right! Life just isn't black and white as to be able to surmise the health of a relationship and our due course towards it from something like this..
If you just want to rant just for the sake of it while reading an entertaining story, then ofc that's fine and no need to try and force a cautionary tale to it.
So let me get this straight you want me to go to the story with a fine comb and tackle bit by bit what is unhealthy about their relationship and how that can apply to real life? When someone was read this can easily identify such things? Even if you don’t think their relationship and it of itself is unhealthy That’s completely fine, but I still do and I will always because I just strongly believe it is.
It was supposed to be a little ”hey if someone is treating you like how the blonde character is being treated by the main character, odds are that’s a unhealthy friendship”
It’s not my thesis. I do not know anyone on this site personally so I cannot state or confirm or deny what their interpersonal relationships are.
Of course, life is not black-and-white, but my post never said otherwise. However, don’t act stories most times don’t have lessons. There is a lesson that can be gleamed from almost everything, including this story.
that being said if you would like to make so-called thesis go right on ahead, i fully support your endeavor
Not a thesis, you seem to be exaggerating just to avoid accountability or are just tired to discuss this. If we're gonna offer literal advice on people's lives based on a comic that didn't actually delve into this specific topic/aspect of their friendship, we should at least be sufficiently describing what this lesson actually is and how it translates to at least one real life occasion, you don't agree with that? That's not what you did though imo, but you felt confident enough to instruct ppl to leave their friendships if their friend is "acting like" towards them like the MC is to the blonde guy, using like a couple of vague panels and 1 speculation abt his family.. I hope you can see how it is kind of unreasonable.
Lessons can be learned from anywhere, media literacy in particular is also very valuable and beneficial and we should he encouraging exploring topics that interest us, confuse us etc! But it requires abit of effort.. It's just something I find important and I didn't want to let it go without addressing the issue I found with your comment. Not to make you feel bad about it (you're a stranger, you could hardly care for all I know), but in hopes that if you'd like to bring up a topic in real life terms and offer advice for it, to do so in a more cohesive and thought-out manner or just not offer advice and leave it to speculating or invite discussion about it first.. That's all. Take care.
I actually disagree with you because I feel like if you’ve been reading this since the very beginning quite a bit of information about their Friendship and about His family and it could just be I really like the character so I remember the scenes that have to deal with him.
I don’t think I’m avoiding accountability because I don’t think this accountability to take because I believe you’re missing the force of the trees like I was open to having a discussion about this We clearly are your pinpointing a sentence in a topic ultimately about the second couple.
Like I completely agree that if you want to make well, thought out talk about advice that way That would be the best however that’s not and that’s what this is because I have done that before and I do like doing that that isn’t what this is going to become that.
Like this was advice in the same way that horoscopes and fortune cookies are advice and that’s fine. But if we could talk on the actual topic of the advice itself, do you believe that my conclusion was wrong like do you genuinely think they have a healthy friendship? Because if so, I firmly disagree. Even the most recent panel we have of them meeting up at a coffee shop after the main character tried to beat his ass and forced him to reveal a secret about himself he clearly wasn’t willing to share and then had him do it again, do you think that connotes a healthy friendship in that action alone?
Again, you may not care about that right but that something I care about I care about healthy portrayals of friendships and relationships, especially in these stories because often times one of them is the most unhealthy shit ever
I think it’s so funny. The reason why people are mad at him because I want to say nine out of ten times the reason it’s so silly and I know it’s a little comic but guy please be for real like the fact that people were telling himself that he can’t do anything right despite the fact that the main love interest escape through the window because he’s insane. I really just need justice for him to get a happy ending. I need him to save the day I don’t know how I don’t know how but please save the day king
im glad theres someone else that loves blondie too ╥﹏╥ i cant handle all the hate for him, sure hes pathetic but hes sad pathetic （/TДT)/ i just wish we'd be able to see his redemption arc soon
Tbh, I think many of us here love all of the characters, and there is a vocal minority who passionately hate the blondie. ╮(￣▽￣)╭ Who cares, it's a good story full of intriguing and complex characters.
I can't help but sigh whenever id see those type of comments about my boy, like give him a break (〜￣△￣)〜 his already such a wreck in the manwha especially in the recent chapters (raws) and he still gets so much hate even in the community, although its kinda funny ngl i just wish there'd be more people out there who can appreciate him and be more understanding of him. but in the end, yeah who cares, i cant really force people to like a character they dont like ╮(￣▽￣)╭
remove the really on the 'i cant really' part (￣∇￣")
I just find him absolutely hilarious and the whole comic has a very comedic vibe so I don’t take his bad actions as seriously lol
They could never make me hate you king!
yess! some appreciation!! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I hate when I see a really fine character and then they are relegated to the background like red haired bully and overwork Deputy manager I see you and I love you
Hopefully since the Focus is shifting to the school, Subaru might make a appearance again and actually get involved in the plot but not as a fan or a villain
I was actually thinking him and inami could pass the vibes of second couple tho cos they already had a lil interaction and literally both a hopeless romantic lol
That’s what I was thinking, but both of them would need to undergo a bit more character development to finally start centering themselves and their happiness over their happiness of their beloved
As someone who reads the leaks, the best friend still hasn’t gotten a side story he’s not even in the new one STILL. I don’t know about you, but I have never seen a community so disconnected with an author in every language its translated in
I gave this a very quick read yet everything is so fucked up Like I understand, Raymond was very emotional when confining Charlie, but I don’t think he was gonna kill him or hit him he was just aggravated because his boyfriend literally cheated on him and then he got towed off by his boyfriend side piece, saying if you really cared about him you would’ve been more concerned. He was out all night with another man and didn’t tell him at all not even once he didn’t even think to talk to him.
The Nephew feels so manipulative because He assumes that caring about someone means you can never say anything negative about that because he’s like Channing is this how much you care for my uncle you’re upset he cheated on his boyfriend like i’m glad to his boyfriend is lying to him and I hope he gets slapped if he gets mad.
I think the bear and the uncle are going And stay together. The nephew is going to stay with his partner ok who cares. I hope Raymond gets with Channing and I hope Raymond says something like it’s nice to have a faithful partner because you can’t always count on that or something and I hope even if they learn to tolerate the bear, they never like him and I hope Channing, who is also bear I assume faces off with the white bear to get back at him for Raymond. I really just need justice for those two I want them to be happy more than anyone else and Emmett. He’s sweet.
