Kind of. The story isnt moving forward much, since after the haru-aki-uge arc. Lots of update with minor devts. Just one of my 2 sents.(⌒▽⌒)
Also age of consent in japan is 12/13 if am not mistaken.
I know... its so frustrating. yuki is dead and he is EVERYWHERE, like boy... and the entire sex at 13 or 14 really creeped me out also
Ppl look at this story more out of sympathy and fail to see soo many things that are probably 'realistic' but still unfair. The uge arc was messed up they were toxic to e/o and akihiko barely deserved haruki after what he did and generally nothing like abuse should be justified but here everyone started throwing a pity party... Why? Damn cz it's realistic lol. Mafuyu jumped into another relationship while still holding onto the past which is again looked at emotionally bcz yuki isn't alive but had he been alive and mafuyu was still holding onto him that would be considered emotional cheating and unfair to ueno but heyyy it's a pity session here so let's all go with tears. Ppl are gonna call me insensitive but practically speaking I would not be able to be in a relationship with someone who searches or gets reminded of their past lover in me... Nope that's a red flag...get rid of ur baggage first take time heal and then move onto the next partner but oh well this turned into an essay. Sorry ! I had to get this out of my system
those are my exact same thoughts, you are not alone
I am honestly only interested in this manga bcz I want to see ueno's character and his developments. He's very interesting and straight forward. Even haruki is pretty cool but I think his arc is done so there won't be much ahead.
Yeah, there's rape, cheating, and dark stuff in the story. This feels more like a toxic psychological kinda plot tbh. I still can't get over the underage sex though. Isn't that kinda like I dunno? Shota x shota? 13-14 year olds having sex, nuh-uh. Readers be going 'awwww, they slept together. That's heartbreaking and sweet' while I'm here like 'no, that's gross'. If it weren't for the art that scene would've been hella creepy with Yuki and Mafuyu.
i don't know about you guys but i feel like author-san just keeps milking this whole yuki situation and it's kind of overbearing at this point to be honest. if i were uenoyama i'd feel utterly defeated (keep in mind that they're still 17). it's like having a rival that's non-existent and they're still young. i think breaking up with mafuyu is better.
also, to those that were saying that yuki and mafuyu were literal soulmates well... it's half-true, half-lie? the probability of finding the love of your life at that age is kinda low. in the end, yuki choose to die rather than to live. it just proves that although he did love mafuyu, it wasn't enough. even yuki choose his own self over his lover.
the only thing that puts me off is that although yuki and mafuyu's story is romantic and angsty and all... the fact that they had sex at the age of 14-15 is kinda weird (i can only assume so since mafuyu, when he meets uenoyama in highschool is already 16). by then a year had already passed after yuki's death so he was 15 when he died. they probably did it earlier than that so maybe 13 or 14, yikes.
now don't get me wrong. people can sleep with whoever they'd like. personally, it's just a bit offputting and the moment i realized it, everything just kinda became a bit meh for me.
