this was really interesting, psychologically, like there's not a lot of even just general fiction that covers the type of dissociation and replacement someone goes through, following an episode of grief.
only thing is that it was kinda fast in progression, like there wasn't a whole lot of reprieve for the characters to properly process their trauma, and so the whole thing ended up feeling kinda rushed.
overall its premise is still very fascinating
i liked it, there was a lot of realistic stuff, n there was discrimination and division, but it wasn't reduced down to the usual omegaverse bullshit of the minority group being reduced down to flesh and practicality. yes, there was discrimination against alphas, however if you think about it contextually, the discrimination only applied within the upperclass aristocratic-like group, not the general populace.
pretty refreshing to see something with a different perspective on the omegaverse shit, and i also like that it addresses unwanted pregnancy, and that the decision to keep the child wasn't enforced onto ga-in.
overall i think it covered a lot of themes in a not only generally healthy and respectful manner while staying realistic, but it maintained an interesting storyline and kept it engaging.
of course, this is my opinion.
it was neat seeing a manga that addressed internalised homophobia n the whole dad thing was so damn sad but. sorry but age gaps that start at them meeting when they one of them was like 10 just always feels off n also GOD DAMN POOR YUTO?? BRO GOT COMPLETELY DISMISSED AND THROWN ASIDE LIKE DAMN hope he gets a spinoff
the statue fuckin sent me dude
ok no but this story was really interesting. it's fascinating to think of the concept of a deity whose powers run on a cyclical scale, because it seems like an effective punishment for idk, people who are damned or wtv
