People who want them to leave Mo alone are missing the bigger picture.
He actually likes them. He enjoys hanging out with them. He’s just suffering because he’s poor, starving, and it’s just him and his mom.
To leave a friend in his situation alone is to abandon them. He should not be taking on adults work and killing himself like this.
Exactly. He likes them
Period
Is there any other manga like this? Where the main characters crush despite being with him likes someone else?
Something satisfying where they give up and we get to see the character regret, maybe feel jealous, and try to win them back?
Since this manga didn’t really satisfy in that regard. Masa doesn’t look over his old crush and we don’t get to see him really fight for Shige and prove himself.
I agree!! Send some recommendations over!
I understand his need for money but he is just a child and to waste his youth away working instead of making memories with his friends is a sad thing. There should be another way instead of him working jobs that pay peanuts to survive. I’m not saying he’s wrong for being upset but his way of living is no way to live. If only there was another adult around to help him and his mother.
That how life goes some people doesnt have the privilege to enjoy their youth and it gonna be difficult for them to find any help since they got (wrongly accused) criminal dad. Also i think he got paid as full timer while working there so its not exactly peanut amount and even if it is they still need that money to survive. And additionally this take place in china where government policy to help those in poverty is basically almost none existence
I still think as far as harems go this one is better for a few reasons:
Ryu isn’t a bland self insert. He has his own eccentric unique personality and is actually attractive when he’s not making creepy expressions. I can understand why the women are attracted to him unlike those harems where the girls are built, stacked, gorgeous and all fighting over a guy with the body and height of a 12 year old.
The author actually dares to keep it harem and not just go for the obvious main girl. With those other harems I always think why give people hopes for the other girls if the obvious main girl is gonna win? In that case don’t make it a harem just do a regular romantic story.
Those other harem manga will all blend into each other like Nisekoi. But this one will stick with you and the characters are more unique instead of walking tropes (tsundere, oblivious black haired male lead, nice short hair big boob side chick who won’t get the guy).
Lots of people get shocked over the idea of them being minors but listen
If all the other hints that’s been said doesn’t make you believe what about this (ex Jian Yi disappearance on the second day of HS):
He Tian is begging for help from his bro (big blow to his pride-he almost never does this)
Why? Because of the transfer. But if he’s 18 or older couldn’t he just say no? Why can’t he? Likely because he is under the age of 18.
But he lives alone right? His brother likely pays for everything. All his money is likely from his family. Do we ever see him working? Does he even have a career or job? All that richness probably isn’t even his own. In the end he is a kid who everything he has comes from his family whether he hates them or not.
It just hit me.
He Tian is begging his brother who he has issues with for help. And if he doesn’t get that help he’ll likely have to obey his family.
Why can’t he say no and walk away?
Because he is underage. As we’ve been saying. 15-16 at best. Maybe 17. But they’re not 18 or older.
If he was a legal adult it wouldn’t fit his character to act this vulnerable. He doesn’t listen to anyone and does whatever he wants. Hell he likes Mo and he barely listens to him.
they are literly childrenn,,,
like he is either 14 -15 rn
they r third year of middle shcool
that is like grade 9
juior highschool
at this pointthis is a coming of age story
he lives alone,, he has nightmares and trouble sleeping, he hardly has any real friends (i mean the only person he seemed familiar with was jian yi and i would not call it a close relashionship before he met mo), he doesnt get proper meals(before mo), he is very very lonely, he has issues wiht his family, he feels opressed by his background, the only adult figure that i can see actively involved in his life is probably his brother, he wants to be loved, also tehre seems to be a trauma associated with the grave (form when he visited his brothers estate),
he probably has a lot of mental struggles too u know
and he finally found someone that makes him feel secure, which helps him cope,,, and that is no,,, but he has to be separated,,, his safe place is literally being taken away form him
Its not thats he's weak or anything, itd just that he's never been in a spot to be strong to begin with so he's vulnerable, he doesn't have the power over his own life,, so he asks his brother,, who might be the only guardian figure in his life for help in his desperate state
Its soo sad poor thing
Someone give the boy a hung,, preferably mo cz id like to see some development here
So assuming his bro doesn’t or can’t help and he has to transfer he leaves for schooling not kidnapping or any weird disappearance like Jian Yi where he can’t finish his schooling. That’s not so bad . They have phones and internet. They can meet on days off (and in the future chapters they do).
And that dog situation is absolutely heart breaking. Those are years he will never get back.
I just realized He Tian made the other guys leave. They couldn’t handle how lovey dovey he was acting. (￣∇￣")
And I can’t believe Jian Yi just straight up bit Zhan’s cheek. He is getting bolder like he was in the early (adult/future) chapters. From blushing hiding his feelings to straight up pouncing him. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
https://www.google.com/amp/s/chensim.tumblr.com/post/129381481619/timeline-19-days/amp
Here’s the timeline. People keep getting confused and spreading misinformation.
He Tian and Mo don’t fall into this because the timeline is not that important for their personal storyline (it seems) but for Zhan and Jian Yi understanding the timeline is crucial since it affects their entire relationship and it involves Jian Yi’s family background.
On a brighter note I love that Zhan and Jian Yi are being included in this. The friendship aspect of 19 days is just so nice and equally as important as any potential romance. Even Zhan woke up with a bitter expression. He’s actually sad over Mo the guy he once fought with. Their friend is hurting and so this arc will likely have all 3 together try to help him and in the end their bonds will be strengthened.
Sorry to be a little cheesy (￣∇￣")
