justifying her using rape as an excuse for selling a CHILD, and saying that it was because of the trauma and because she thought that Momo seduced all of those man is wrong. a little kid who doesnt even know anything about sex and how the children are being made cannot possibly be aware of seducing methods or be cunning enough to steal his mothers boyfriends. in the 4th chapter it was explained- momo didnt know that he was molested, he didnt know that it was something abnormal- he was manipulated by those man, and not being able to understand that and blaming an innocent, unaware CHILD is just an excuse for its abuse- in this chapter it was also explained- Momo's mother didnt care nor loved him from the very beggining. the fact that he was being molested just confirmed in her belief that now she can do anything to him, that he deserve it
I honestly do not understand why anyone tries to justify this woman's actions- she let her little kid be gang raped, multiple times, for many years. The fact that she was raped and got pregnant afterwards is not an excuse for what she did. And Kurita's statement about single mother's hardships is just ridiculous. And her ,,touched" expression seriously pissed me of, she must not be forgiven, she should live always remembering the fact that she destroyed her sons live, took him away his childhood. But imo she does not feel any remorse, she just seeks justification and wants to hear that she didnt do anything wrong. Disgusting
Thank you! I am so tired of people finding justifications. The man who raped her is a criminal and vile, but what is she? She is 100000 times worse and her actions are the ones of a monster. I hated that friends answer and I don't like how Yata could stand that woman. If you love someone you could never stand such a woman. You would protect him. Also poor momo, he said she was a good mom at first and now he hears her saying she only pretended. Sad
So true. I really hate this in Japanese manga. They seem to think everything is forgivable. She is a vile creature, does not deserve forgiveness.
What annoys me most is fact that the perpetrators never pay for their crimes. I'm not even talking about revenge, I just want to see some form of punishment handed out, even if the victim has forgiven the perpetrator and the perpetrator now feels regret.
Yeah, there she was, happy and married while Momo was selling himself to survive, homeless. How could she be leading a happy life when she threw away her son?
Well, I hope she dies of some miserable disease and Momo goes on to have a very long and happy life with Yata.
*miserable disease* made my day XD yep, thats what she deserves (Y)
on the other hand, i would like to see that womans husband as one of the characters, and it would be great if he found out about his wife''s past, i mean the fact that she was selling her son to some pedophiles. In general- i want to see her world and life breaking, and i want her to live the rest of her life in misfortune and loneliness cause death would be too easy :||| wishing somebody to die is creepy but i just cant stand her insolence and cynism, and the fact that she doesnt really seem to think that what she has done was wrong- she still blames Momo for everything :|||
Guys unfortunately from the experience I've gathered reading japanese manga it will not happen. Momo will probably forgive her and shit
If it makes Momo happy and heal to do so, by all means, forgive. I've seen forgiveness do great stuff.
Dramatically, because I hate the damn bitch, I want to see her happy world crumble and her life turn to hell.
yes i agree, but she should still pay for all the pain she caused momo
i fell that this manga can end in similar way that hotarubi no mori e :||||
that would kill me though
That's what I'm fearing, I'm not going to add this to my reading list even if it's a promising manga
Nooooo!（/TДT)/ I don't think I'll be able to handle it if it ends up like that because with hotarubi no mori e my tears wouldn't stop overflowing and I ended up crying for most of the day out of nowhere at a random time whenever I thought about it. If I ends up like that I'll be crushed! ╥﹏╥
this is just...sad?
i dont understand uke's mother, she kind of destroyed her son's life and childhood -_-
anyway i kinda find this manga quite sick and bitter
I totally agree with you! ┗( T﹏T )┛The mother is just horrible, probably mental. To me it's not funny at all
Definitely sad manga; definitely mental mothers (both of them!). The father too for just going along with his wife. (︶︿︶)
I feel so sad for Saku… Even more so now that his husband has turned into a rapist! (Having sex with someone when they are drunk = rape, FYI)
this is just fucking ridiculous, firstly the seme said that he will not hurt the uke again and will never make him cry, and then he says that he doesn't care whether the uke is hurt or crying *DAFUQ* i honestly can't believe that this manga which had a good start and potential to be awesome turned into a shit like this, especially cause this is Sakyo Aya's work. #dissapointed
i had high hopes for this manga especially because it's sakyo aya's work. i thought it is going to be diffrent from the well known scheme, but it is not :||||| unused potential for an original story which doesn't end with a message: let's forget rape and cruelty and be togheter forever
You have said something that picked my attention: "unused potential for an original story which doesn't end with a message: let's forget rape and cruelty and be togheter forever" and to be honest and with all due respect, I don't think Yaoi have space for that... because 90% of the stories here HAVE THAT KIND OF PLOT! the other 10% are either cute/fluffy or very romantic but at the end only serves for entertaining and just that (at least the one I've read, I'm new in this btw)
you have a point, but i have read some stories which you can call ,,realistic''? so when i started reading this one i really wanted it to end differently- this manga had a good start, seemed to be something new, which would be satisfying for the readers and the mangaka too, because she would create something fresh, unusual. but it is just my opinion.
It still explores rape pretty well. I mean he's traumatized but it enters a grey area because he was initially interested but the preparation was wrong. Seme should have stopped and thus he apologized but the uke didn't move on either. The scenario is pretty common/realistic and I like how she's exploring a more complex situation.
Taichi seems too possesive and i feel that in the future he might turn into abusive, obssesively controlling guy :||| i dont want that though
If he ever did Naoto doesnt seeme like hed accept it.
the art in the last chapter was awful compared to the previous ones, so not Kanda Neko alike, i wonder if that was some old work, cause i cannot believe that she could have had that much regress in her drawing style.
It's written on the last to pages that it was her work from 4 years ago.
last two I mean sry
thanks :) well, that's a relief :P
