I'll be honest Im definitely not a fan of the ending. Its basically one of those back to square one. I don't think any of the characters learn any lesson especially Takopi. Like it would be great if Takopi learn more about human emotions and realize some people are just not happy etc but i feel like they never went in depth. And no consequences for the adults too. I know it was probably intentional but i feel like the whole story is pointless if none of the character got any consequences.
It's not really back to square one. Takopi sacrificed himself to save the children who were victims of their own environment. He made their wish come true.
Them "learning a lesson" isn't really the point, but I'd also argue that statement is false, since it's hinted that the protagonists still have memories of Takopi, so I'm sure his existence had an impact on them
Honestly this is shit. I already know the story is already so hopeless and the author attempt to push this to happy ending is just not working. Like we got chapters of that bitch tormenting azusa yet he doesn't get any punishment and literally only one panel talking about his redemption. He got raped when he was little so suddenly he can do anything and we need to sympathize him. Fuck him. And what pisses me the most is the fact we never get conclusion about the main couple relationship. Do they love each other? Are they only fuck buddy? How am i supposed to know they never said it.
Noo too short. Why we have to endured all the suffering just for two happy chapters? I feel like the ending is a bit rushed. We don't even get full backstory of seungeon. And what happened to his ex-fiance? I feel like we should know what happened to every single characters. And i thought jiwook mother would make an appearance or something.
Second of all, why the nurse/doctor just ignore the bruises on jiwook's face. What kind of hospital is that? Literally left the hospital with that bruise on his face.
Are we just gonna ignore the fact Ref is basically the whole reason he turned out that way? If he didn't interfere none of this would happen. He's manipulative, selfish and annoying. He destroyed someone's life just because he's "lonely" and at the end he never even apologize. Why the seme is the one that have to apologize to him?? His character development is shitty. The story would have turn out fine even without him.
I just finished the anime and im still sad that they skipped the part before the wedding because i feel like the part where they got the parents blessings was the most important part for their growth
omg ikr?? I read the manga a long long time ago but never finished it but I just finished the anime. I went to the last few chapters of this that I never read because I wanted to see if the anime was accurate or not and OMFG they skipped so much?? Not even did they just skip the plot but they also cut out so many characters like the parents...like why did I just find out that Adachi has a brother?? like hello...









Those people on the Internet need to stop mischaracterize this manga saying its about rape and cp. There's so much more depth and an actual layered characters and yes i cried at this chapter.
Okay TBF the rape and cp was like the forefront of the plot and it wouldn't be strange to think the direction of the manga shifted solely because the author matured and got enough backlash to be like woah..
i dont think its because of the backlash, she's just genuinely interested in writing good stuff with depth. it's like this with her other works from the same time period, just not as goofy. you can even see in early chapters from back in 2016, introduction to some character plots that are eventually given more depth as the manga progressed, like with itome showing desire to be monogamous with akemi and having half a page of his face to focus on how he felt in chapter 5. call me a d rider but that's taking a lot of credit from ogeretsu tanaka.
Yeah that's what Im thinking, I phrased it off but I feel like as she matured she may have genuinely shifted to wanting to make this an actual story but she started off as just making quick slop for fun
That's exactly the point i was highlighting with my examples, i don't think it's slop. It's a whacky introduction for goofy characters that were meant, *from the start*, to be further developped in later chapters.
Now I can't know how far she meant for this to continue at this point nor how much of it she planned, but it's clear there was setup from the start. Another example, aside from itome, would be shikatani looking at a letter in chapter 5. We find out in chapter chapter 16.2, that this was from "shou-chan," his ex-friend he had a crush on and who hurt him. Thus allowing for the author to dig more into his thoughts.
If that's not convinving enough. She has work earlier than yaribu that would maybe be considered more "mature." Allat to say: I don't think you're giving her enough credit.
U right, it started very unserious but the plot setups were kinda peak and I fw her writing heavy
