was it really that bad? I remember really liking this one, it had kind of a shounen feel to it which was really nice. I dont think serious topics always need to be taken seriously, also people react and process serious situations differently, it doesn't always have to be ptsd and depression. but tbh I cant really remember how this story goes about it.
I just ordered the physical volumes because i found them on sell, i guess ill find out when i reread lol
These topics done need to be taken seriously??? HARD DISAGREE. Absolutely fucking wrong.
I cant speak on the quality of this story, since i havent read it yet.
But there is room in fiction for dark topics to not always be explored with the seriousness of realism. I love a good dark comedy for example.
why do you think thats so wrong? /gen
The story breaks its own tone. The first part is pretty realistic when its exploration and getting to know each other and adjusting etc. By that logic other themes should also be treated that way, realistically. And the most important thing is, it reads shallow, and dissatistying. If it reads that way, the writer failed in conveying their story properly.
Eight literally becomes a murderer because of the abuse that happened to him. Like... That's a pretty heavy way.
And tbh, as a victim, in life, that's pretty much how it goes, u just live after that shit happens, u have to. U run away (just like seven did) and try to leave that in the past and live normally.
The manga actually dealt with that part extremely well, specially seeing how Seven dealt with it one way and Eight another.
It doesn't deal with it in a "light" tone, it does so in a semi-realistic one when it comes to the world of crime.
Just no. No.
Ok so I finished it, did we read the same manga lol.
It did not make fun or treat the serious issues with dismissiveness, it treated them as things that happened.
Yes they went through bad things, were groomed into it, but they can also act relatively normal, a lot of people irl do that every day.
I really do not know what you’re so outraged about.
Care to elaborate?
Dude... It's how I dealt with ot after it happened with me ^^'
Specially since it was more than once.
I just fucking wanted to forget it and move on, I didn't want to think about it, I wanted to live as if it never happened and that is not something wrong for neither me nor a fucking fantasy character to do
I can't get with the tone this manga takes with serious issues such as murder, rape, sexual exploitation, pedophilia, like?? It doesn't take these themes seriously, and treats them with a casualness, commonplace nonchalance that feels downright outrageous. The characterisation and disposition of Seven certainly does not reflect everything that happened with him. And the secondary and tertiary characters also don't feel real, but more caricaturist. I was appalled reading this manga, japanese media treats these type of themes way too unseriously, the way they insert some type of vague pedo shit even in their general shounen mangas. The characters in this story did not even begin to express the kind of mental, psychological and physical toll rape, crime, murder, blackmail can take on a young person, like what the FUCK?? Story was light hearted comedy in the first season that turned into some mobster shit where issues like rape and pedophilia were treated as tag alongs, they were given the most superficial treatment, what was this damn author thinking? One could tell that Seven was abused but I didn't think this was the kind of tone and treatment author would take. I am dropping this shit. And never want to read anything like this ever again. I picked this manga from a rec list of a person I thought had good reading sense, fuck, I was wrong. Fuck that fucking person and fuck this author! I am out. FUCK THIS
