I... I cannot wrap my head around this level of stupidity. Sigh.
Welp. Now we'll see just how far he'll go to sate his netori fetish. I really fucking hope he doesn't rape her.
He's really turned 180° haha Re-read the first few chapters to get that whiplash character dev lmao
I see a lot of people sad about the couples "not ending up together" but that's what it's all about-- an encounter, a dream, that these women need as they feel they are lacking in certain parts of their lives. The encounter serves as a happy and memorable dream and gives them that little push to love themselves/feel excitement in their lives again. Of course, we can "dream" that they somehow find ways to reconnect and live on happily ever after, but I do love the way it's presented as a one chance encounter-- sometimes that's just how life is after all.
Can I just talk about his parents? Like, obviously we don't know the specifics of their circumstances yet (but we will soon I assume), so this is just my personal take on what we do know so far. Also, I'm self inserting a lot since I know exactly how Hananoi feels so...
I find them incredibly selfish. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they're amazing and good people-- they're volunteer doctors in impoverished countries! They're goddamn saints. But if you know your work will take you away from family, why have a child at such a time? It broke my heart when we saw Hananoi cutting up his parents photos and not include the kids they're with. I'd be pasting my own photo in the parents picture just to feel like I do have family. His grandmother raised him, yes, and he wanted for nothing; but if I were him, I'd be hurting and thinking "Why are my parents taking care of another kid instead of staying with me?" It sounds selfish-- 'Your parents are saving and helping others!'-- but doesn't a child have a right to be a bit selfish in wanting their parents attention? I'm sure they love Saki, but to a child growing up, that sort of abandonment can fuck them up for good. It's just great that Hananoi has been able to bounce back thanks to Hotaru.
i agree! they are good people but are very bad parents. they kind of just forget they have a child at home who also needs love and affection but i do hope they realize that and maybe do their best to fulfill what they lacked to give in the past cuz it's never too late
Good people—but bad parents. They seem nice but they have to know that it’s not okay to have a child and then just leave him alone all his life. You’re supposed to RAISE your kid not leave them lmao. They're very neglectful I feel bad for him.
That cat knows his angles so that he can look better on pictures lmao
Yeah, Tachio was a dick but I'm more pissed off with Kota for being such a pushover and having zero conviction.
EXAAAAAACTLY FINALLY YEEEES
Imma need a continuation of that Wolfgang/Randolph fanfic for uh, scientific purposes.
Definitely has my approval for a Spin-off
Having front row seats to such a sexathon ... I am jealous of Hagino-chan ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Oof. Reading some of the comments bashing Luke for prioritising his job over Gabriel, makes me realise how young (or carefree) some of you must be. In an ideal world, of course your partner comes first; but in the real world, it's not always as clear cut as that. Luke is not wrong for prioritising work, but Gabriel's feelings are also valid. That's just the hand they were dealt with this time. How they sort this out (if they can) will determine if their relationship can work for the long run.
Personally, I have been on both sides of this and it's never easy. Employment is not a joke, especially in the times we're living in. It's a fanciful dream to have the ability to not care if your actions will get you fired or not. It also takes a mental toll since you know you're depriving your partner even when you don't want to. As the partner that's being left behind, it's emotionally draining. You feel like you're not worth it since you're not the one being prioritised, and you wonder if you're perhaps being immature or not understanding enough.
honestly the job market is extremely competitive and even if you get a job you might not make enough money these kids are lucky not having to consider all these things
Tell me about it! Between all the competition + covid-19, those with jobs really need to hang on for dear life, even when the pay is sometimes peanuts. It's important to know your worth, and go after your dreams, and all that hullabaloo-- but before that, you need to have actual money for bills, food, mortgage, etc.
