about the prophecy Hifumi found and their secret mission to defeat Asa before the adults.
"Twin buds of the eleventh spring. Their blossoms blot out the morning, bringing cherry blossoms to bloom". I dont necessarily think they'll defeat Asa on their own especially since they are literally 4 year olds that haven't even mastered their blooming yet and they're going against an opponent that their very powerful family had to specially train against, but rather I feel like their blooming is something that can perfect or enhance or help their family's blooming against Asa.
Or maybe their blooming is something that will significantly weaken Asa (aka morning) and help their family's true spring blooming.
I have something to say about how I dont like how it seems everything is being kind of handed to the twins (them being op and kind of already developed personalities despite being 4) but thats something ill comment on after I read more on later, which i am excited to do ♡(> ਊ <)♡ I love this series so much i wanna eat it
right?? the twins ngl are kinda un-fourlike
like me, at four, didn't know how to speak (I was a late 'bloomer' hahahahahaha)
and like, idk they're so cute I wanna squish their cheeks and stuff, but I can't imagine them being Taiyo's kids when he was just a kid a few chapters ago.
like alpha's got an entire I-don't-wanna-be-a-spy at age four that's insane- dude knows whats a spy and how to hack watches I mean I get he's yozakura, but there's got to be some uncertainty (but looking at kyoichiro... kyoichiro... hehe... ig it's not that weird???)
hifumi imo is more like a kid with her brother complex and her kind of stupid whims, like it's-cool-I-wanna-do-it-no-thought-on-safety.
but like when she gets all serious and kyoichiro (kyoichiro...) and futaba make her make uhhh 'big decisions' she is way too cool about it.
They cry, but like for the situation they're put in, adults would cry-
like bro alpha saw the future where everyone's dead and he's just sitting there with a smoothie. There was a semi-mental breakdown but he just springs right back up huh???
???
???
they're like perfect kids except perfect kids don't exist: look at kyoichiro- I mean look at MUTSUMI? She's literally a degenerate Taiyo simp through and through. Kyoichiro's an overgrown octopus stuck on everyone's heads simultaneously. Futaba's a tsuntsun, Shion is also a tsuntsun, Kengo is... Kengo, Nanao is a workaholic, Shinzo's a gun-pail hikikomori-
bro. IZUMO IS A PUSHOVER. ASA'S THAT ONE VILLAIN WHO DRINKS TEA WITH THE CUP UPSIDE DOWN AND GOES MMH PURRFECT.
Taiyo is just perfect, and that's his problem. He's perfection in the midst of blackmail'able losers.
Alpha and Hifumi kind of... idk they don't... kirakira the yozakura.
idk how to say it.
they're like taiyo mutsumi kyoichiro futaba shion mushed into two cute kids with a side of izumo and and nanao.
(but I too want to swallow the series; literally looking at it makes me squeal ngl)
Am i the only one who doesn't like the abrupt timeskip and shift of focus? I know that the timeskip is needed pace wise cause the manga would be boring with literally 90% of the cast separated from each other but I really wish we saw more of Taiyo, our MC who has been the main focus for 180+ chapters, growing up (´ . . . `)
I actually had to take a break (last chapter I read was 186) from reading a bit cause I felt like I wasn't following the same Taiyo pre-timeskip yknow? I feel like the recent chapters centered around the twins feel more like a sequel to the pre-timeskip manga.
I wish we saw more of Taiyo being bad ass and accomplishing and gaining notoriety in the spy world.
like, I would've loved seeing the twins story! as an extra after Taiyo's goal and character development is finished. Cause the way the manga shifted, it felt like Taiyo's story arc was left "unfinished", with more of his character development happening off screen during the time skip and thats really a shame because it feels like the character was suddenly disconnected from the audience.(hence why I feel like Taiyo pre and post timeskip feel like different characters TT (i hope you guys get that I do know characters who have undergone character development will definitely be different but TT i hope you guys get my points))
Fredia my daughter, she's just so cute and charming that other characters finding her cute or charming doesn't feel like its "forced" at all.
Her interactions and logic is so inline with her character setting that her being ditzy and kinda dumb and naive doesn't invoke frustration but instead brings me something like "Oh Fredia,,,(´-﹏-`;)" making for some cute comedy that gets me to chuckle a bit. I really like the moments where her insecurities about being adopted doesn't just disappear but instead pops up at times, it really adds a layer of character to her and helps me connect to her more cause it makes sense for someone who has been an orphan for virtually their whole life to be cautious about receiving affection especially when her new family made it clear at the beginning that it is temporary and Fredia has internalised that and ingrained it to the point it would be hard for her to think that her family's perception of her would change for the better She knows that the good family moments are "temporary" so she just enjoys them while she can and doesn't attach herself much to the moment itself cause she doesn't want to get hurt when the time comes for her to leave or fulfill her duty of getting married (her "reality/fate" because its the reason why she got adopted in the first place) .·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·. my baby
She is this (人*´∀`)。*゚+ kaomoji personified and Isabella's view of her as a cute lively puppy isn't wrong and is actually pretty accurate (≧▽≦)
So they live in an incredibly homophobic society, to the point a police force dedicated to arresting queer people are established and accepted and you're telling me the male lead were supposed to root for is part of said police force, and shows no qualms about arresting queer people for his own benefit?
And the second male lead were not supposed to root for is the main character's close friend who's been there for them, has been respectful to the mc, is openly gay, openly supportive of his gay friends and is actively helping his community in an incredibly homophobic society? at this point i dont even care if he ends up with the mc i just hope he gets together with someone who loves them back and live happily
somebody shoot me NOW!!
