people in the comments are saying that if we started the story from the classmates' point of view, we would also hate jin lmao yeah
like, yeah he was awful, but this isn't the same person. he literally landed on earth and didn't have any memories from his past, so he's literally a different person than what he was at the daycare, because he has no memory of that. like, he's not that person anymore and at least i think that we can't hold him accountable.
but then again, all those feelings the others have for jin as a kid, they do hold him accountable, because they don't fully understand that he literally doesn't remember anything. like, they don't trust him yet when he says he has no memory of his childhood. so they're not at the point where they can separate him from who he was back then.
but yeah, it also makes me like jin, because we see him, and i actually perceive him as that kid who grew up with charin. bc also thats what we have seen until now, like were just getting a sneak peek at how he was as a kid in the last chapters. but it’s also really interesting to see how he was as a kid, and sure, he was awful but i think that’s a really important part of the story, because he was like that because of how they were all raised in that place.
And looking at this new chapter, my theory of him not being all that evil is growing stronger. Like, clearly he didn't want to get involved with Tehir bc he could see through his bs, but he did observe all of the kids bc he was intrigued by their actions, as if he wanted to be a part of their relationship, especially Kimoto, who apparently is the closest in personality to Jin.
Other than amnesia its Charin that molded Jin into a different person too. When he was thrown out and fell, despite losing his memories, Jin still has his habit of when he was in the daycare. Y'know all knowing, indifference and inquisitive but Charin shutting down Jin's attempt to prove his right and become stupid, pushed jin to change. If Charin didn't do it, Jin of now will probably be as cunning as he was in the past. Maybe I'm tripping but, in the past chapters, author seems to hint that Jin of now is still clever when he wants to (like when he cut the power off and found the source of the sicurity and system of green haired guy's house, fixed old radio,... ) and strong when Charin isn't around.
Ngl i kinda like that Charin is the one keeping Jin's down. If jin became all knowing, and smart, he'd likely become heartless and lack empathy like his younger self.










i was kinda doubting this at first, because he started dating this younger guy without being completely sure he was already over his first crush. but he was actually so cute. i’m glad the younger guy didn’t know about him having a crush on his brother’s boyfriend, because in most mangas they make the other person find out, and it just turns into unnecessary angst. i was like, please don’t do that and i’m glad they didn’t. the character was pretty much over his crush already, but he didn’t want to be a liar, so he told this guy the truth, and the guy was fine with it. i don’t see anything wrong with that. honestly, it was really cute. i wasn’t expecting to like it, but it turned out good, really good, nice and cute.
thank you for actually talking about the story <3 i'm glad you find them cute!! the next chapters are basically a episodic sol, so i hope you find them healing
