it was so painful to read... I just couldn't finish it because I know that they will end together and I don't want that, that's just too sad, the blonde guy was the worst guy on earth, he was such an asshole (and a criminal) and he don't even care. Rape as love stories shouldn't even exist, no ones deserves that.
this is true. but I think you should also take into account that they are the same age. I mean it's not an excuse but the worse person in the story is the teacher who had sex with a 6th grader. she taught a child how to do something that gave him a means to exert his anger in a damaging way towards his classmate. I think it's also good to take into account that this child also felt immense remorse for his actions and it's not like he was forgiven, he won't even allow himself to forget what he did to prevent instances from incurring again. Though like you said, rape is never excused. I do feel this is a great story in the way of character development, however.
If you had read the manga tikl the end, you would know that he does actually learn that what he did (rape) was wrong and he does in fact care for it. Not only that, he even lets him go at one point saying he doesn't want to hurt him anymore. The story is about learning to see the wrong you did and forgiveness, unlike some yaois which is like 'oh he's raping me, but I'm enjoying it so it muST be love' which is quite dumb.
can somebody tell me why is this tagged as romance and yaoi? is that the intention of the artist?
hmm. I don't if you've read the series yet but if you haven't then there is have some BL action in it.... probably much more later in the series...
As for romance.... Both their love is pretty unhealthy. Just take the name very literal.
I would say...possibly... a case of stockholm syndrome or maybe Lima syndrome.... ?
Yes and no. There is romantic themes more on the very twisted side. Bum was in love with him enough to stalk him while Sangwoo (I'm not too sure about him) is slowly showing affection towards his victim. Since this is tagged as a BL you'll more than likely see more romance later on. It's a relationship forming a very unhealthy one but it is forming.
I think that a year is not enough time to get over YOUR FUCKING SOULMATE and move on, he wasn't just his boyfriend, he was his companion of life. This is hurting me so badly... maybe because in my culture we are used to have a long 'bereavement' (I don't know the word for that) or our visions about death are really different.
I completely agree. I haven't even gotten over the person I was dating a year ago and they're very much still alive, so I can only imagine how long it would take someone to get over the sudden death of their lover and soulmate -__-
I think it depends on the people. They were very young. It's not like they lived many years together as a "married' couple and had many memories as united and building a life together. Plus: young. VERY young.
And you never know when the next 'soulmate" shows up. The one to heal your heart.
I'd want to die with my mate. I don't want to outlive him.
But studies show that a man who has had a happy love/marriage, they tend to marry VERY fast. I guess they can't handle being alone after knowing how great a loving union is.
I'm saying it because they knew each other since forever, they grew up together and being together was just the natural thing for them, so it wasn't like they knew each other in school and then started dating for a while, it was a lot more deeper. But yeah, it depends on the people, this topic is not easy.
I'll also add that he was abandoned. Dying due to illness or old age or accident--which is not voluntary--is different than a partner suiciding. Suicide, to a lover, will feel like betrayal and abandonment. It's a slap in the heart. It's saying, "I'd rather die than stay in this world with you." The pain has to be UNBELIEVABLE.
If someone comes to offer kindness, comfort, and compatibility to ease that pain, I will not judge it. I've never felt that pain, though I have been married a long time to my soul mate. I'd rather die than be in this world without him. I do feel bonded to him and want no one else. BUT....who knows? Maybe if someone comes that heals my heart, I'll want relief of pain and comfort and joy again.
I think it's really hard to continue grieving forever for some. For others, they take solace n their sorrowful faithfulness.
yeah, it could be like that, but for some people it will only hurt to see other people no matter how time has passed, that's ok too. And I know that this manga is not the case but I felt so broken when I read it, and kinda angry, maybe because I have lost a friend due to suicide. Even if it was years ago I know that it will hurt forever (not necessary in an awful way). When that happens to you, you have to learn how to deal with that, there's a really complicated and weird process, and here they kinda just skip that, so I feel kinda uncomfortable because is like nothing happened. Just that, but yeah, when someone can be happy and vivid again after something like that is so heartwarming, is not only ok but good to do that; but I still feeling that something is missing.
(2 vol read) oh man Tetsuya is such a jerk, he abandoned his 'super special chilhood friend' when he most need him, and never discuss anything with him (about his feeling or career choices for example) or trying to contact him and see if he was alive or something (and he wasn't even living so far I can't believe it)... and then he star going out with this girl but didn't hesitate about cheating on her in the very first chance... oh man you are the one who needs to be scolded. Not to mention that he raped Sora wtf is that normal or what.
i'm currently in the middle if the story and i'm afraid that this could end being a platonic relationship or a bromance idk I mean, i'm not asking for sex or anything like that but will they realize about each other feelings? is so obvious that they love each other but they will touch the topic someday? please tell me that they're going serious or i'm gonna die here
sadly theres another stories in the volume so thats it o+< i was truly interested in this pair
O sea que se acabó?? D:
sí, hay un pequeño extra al final pero eso es no más
Nooooooooo ╥﹏╥ iba tan bien!
