Other "alpha" males must take a page from our best boy Maurice here. Pheromones? What pheromones?? Lmao
Anyway, totally out of topic but anybody here who watched the film Maurice? wink wink
AAAANDDD THE DRAAAMAAAA. Geezus! That was so exhausting. With 65 chapters, the villains were not punished at all. Not even a bug bite. Rooting for the bride tho! Go spend all that moneeeey!!
They really be rescuing the MC just before (like teenie weenie millimeters away) the goon's dick comes into his asshole lmaaaaoooo. They put almost all the cliches in here, you name it! I think they missed the opportunity of not making the MC loose his memory or something
I think the only missing here are the gossipy neighbors but let's not ruin this lmao
Really makes you appreciate country living. I want to, but Im a lazy ass take-out dependent human who cant do manual labor rip.
Appears goofy but he's much more than that. He's quick to notice and v reliable. He pushed prez literally/physically to report his abuser. He's even the point of contact for the re-encounter. AHHHH. Hope we all have a Hansol.
I like how they called out/acknowledged the abuse early on. Imagine getting away from your abusive father, just to end up on a sexual relationship with your ADULT 'savior' teacher. I agree with his mother, he did confess to his teacher BUT the adult should've known better. And notice how Jungwon realized he can actually 'say no' when he was with Gilsung? That said a lot. Great thing he stood up, and had good support.
Good read! Love the art.
Was about to comment the same thing about Hansol! He's a true best friend.
Enjoyable read of their mundane life. I loved how the conversation with Mirai and Kyoko went. Like girl, embrace the gender fluuuuuudityyy yas! Just a bummer I did not get to see the reactions from the guy friends, particularly Sonoki's. Overall great!
Nice read. I'm always happy to see Ran and her googly eyes. She was the target audience lmao!
PS: I was quite bothered when the other eyes has a different shade. I just read a manga before this with a blind left eye MC, and whenever I see the different shade, it always took me off to this lol??
PSS: Aaaaand I was sooo confused with the guy with Ume and the guy with Mahara? (long-haired guy with glasses always asked Sonoki what his grade/standing was). Like, he never appeared with both Ume and Mahara? together so I was kind of confused if he's a different or same person lmao. And I did not really focused on the other's names. There was a lot of extras haha! But I think, by the end, he was actually the same guy?? Please enlighten me. Lmao.
Yup! The guy with Ume and Mahara are the same person--Harumi. They appeared all together in the same panel once at chapter 2, p.6 (being identified as the three guys Sonoki's always with, i.e. his only friends). But it's been pretty much established that the Sonoki, Harumi, Mahara trio is a different circle to the Sonoki, Harumi and Ume group. The former seemed to be the older group since they've been friends prior to high school, while the latter circle I surmise was formed in their club. That's probably why we never saw all of them together since Ume almost exclusively appeared in scenes related to club, which Mahara isn't a member of.
Harumi did talk about Mahara while they were with Ume in the sequel, though!
In my case, I got confused with Harumi and Sonoki's classmate, the one who was really kind and we never really got to see again after graduation.
I actually thought that was Harumi at first. But then he never really exuded the "kind" vibe since-- hence the confusion of Harumi being a different person in each circle if that makes sense
Shouta liking Daiki "romantically" does not feel canon to me. Like Oomori said, he has a one-track mind. I mean he probably would, but not overnight??
I enjoy slowburns and open endings, but exceptions must be made.
And people are so cold here. They didnt pet the dogggg??!!
Personally, I dont get why some people choose to stay in a relationship that only cause them harm if they have every means to get out. Then there're who defend their abuser and say things like "he's actually a good person deep inside" like??huh?? Anybody care to enlighten me? Explain it to me like Im five
Hii I completely agree with what you say bc I am all for healthy relationships too!
but for those people it’s usually because deep down they are long wired to believe that they don’t deserve better, and they don’t even believe there is something better just for them. When you have been in an abusive space for a long time, you don’t know how to be mentally healthy yourself too. When you have been with an abusive partner for a long time, or an abusive parent- you tend to link abuse as love. So unless they rewire their brain- eg. Therapy, their brain will feel uncomfortable and unsafe in a healthy relationship until they seek out the same pattern again ┗( T﹏T )┛
Thanks for the input. Well said. It's really painfuuul to watch. Im so amazed and proud to those who are able get out of it and break the cycle of abuse. Unfortunately, thre's also those who perpetuate the abuse. But there're a lot of factors how both arrive to such. Ugh
I would like to point out isolation goes hand in hand with abuse. Also the fact of talking with another person about something like that is really hard. If we follow the MC as an example, we can see he is putting up a front for others as to either not trouble them or break the illusion of his "character". The fact that he does not have friends followed up by lacking family or any kind of support system festers this kind of relationship.
Additionally in the queer community it is much easier to enter into abusive relationships because of how hard it is to find another person just like you in real life when you Also have to keep who you are as a secret to protect yourself. This can lead you to not being able to be open about an abuse or talk about it to see if it is normal considering the nature of the relationship. It's hard for heterosexual couples to break apart or talk about abuse. It's sometimes even harder for queer folk to do the same.
