Between Ebisu and Yukine, this chapter was depressing af. Whoever did that to Yukine deserves a blade up their arse.
Ok, I’m pretty sure Mika actually likes Yu romantically even if Yu is only about those platonic succs. I still think there’s hope for endgame MikaYu.
For me there s NOO other ship than Mika×Yuu. I've shipped them since the 1st episode. In my head they ll always stay together. Yuu is the Uke... Perhaps they're both sekes. You can't change my mind.
I didn’t say anything about no homo, I said it’s probably platonic on Yuu’s side because he’s shown no romantic interest or feelings toward anyone in the story (yet). So I see him as aromantic, until otherwise demonstrated. They could still have a relationship, though, even if that was the case.
That is true, but if we compare the reactions and how Yu acts around others vs around Mika there is a subtle hint that Mika is different than the others (tho it could also be platonic atm). Also this story was inspired by Devilman Crybaby and that is noticable, especially now that Mika is "dying" (didn't watch the show but I know the "angel" guy actually loved the devil, and also died in the end)
Well...let’s just say I don’t think this will be like Devilman Crybaby...lol But the apocalypse thing and devils and angels bit is similar. And Yu does kind of remind me of Ryu from that show. Especially that creppy Yu Ashura met in the past (⊙…⊙ )
Yeahh I totally agree, but there were quite a few similarities so it seems like the author is inspired by it..
Mika is learning And I know people dislike Yu for being an idiot, but I’m pretty sure Yu’s childishness/stupidity is related to his past, so I cut him some slack. We know he’s basically a clone and has had his memories wiped. Who knows what his mental age is now or what kind of mentality Yus have to begin with. Young Yu (the first one Ashura met) definitely didn’t have the mentality of a normal child.
Oh man, I saw updates and I thought someone had uploaded the new chapters....
Isn’t One Day the title of the present chapters? Does this mean that we’ll get to see their band days in the future? :O
One day is always written on top of each chapter.. honestly i dont want this manga to end its tooo precious
I wonder if the author will ever continue this. The manhua hasn’t even covered half the story, yet this is supposedly complete. Makes me sad （/TДT)/
I disagree with the people saying this isn’t worth the read or was disappointing. Demian Syndrome is easily one of the better BL works out there, even with its age. You can’t appreciate it for what it is by comparing it to more recent BL stories (most of which are pretty bland, imo). The story focus was purely on the relationship and psychology of the main characters, which is why you don’t get the modern tropes of “meet the family” or chapters dedicated to flashbacks. The necessary elements are there. And yes, there was rape but it was handled seriously and impacted the characters’ development. It wasn’t glorified or downplayed. There’s a lot of dialogue because, again, this is a story centred on the characters and relationship, not simple plots (and it’s the authors style). Lastly, if you’re familiar with Hesse’s Demian, it lends even more interpretive value to the characters and story.
In short, I would recommend this work, especially to those looking for something different, a classic, or to people who like to psychoanalyse/interpret characters.
But... the relationship and psychology of the main characters is influenced by the psychology and relationship they have with their family and friends. T.
Yes, but I feel we’re given enough to understand them. It isn’t necessary to spend more time on or show their families. I don’t think that would have added much to the story.
Oh, wow. Thank you for the update, scanlator-sama!
