Honestly it's boring. It takes an interesting concept that was already out there but fails to explore it in any meaningful way. Cute art but boring art also.
right like the ML apparently 'fell out of love' but we never really see that.
I guess wanting to prevent the death of your beloved knowing that she will die within the year. Isn't that bad?
Not to mention I don't really see how this story relates to the story of orpheus and eurydice other than the husband trying to save the wife
I think the "don't look back until you are out of the underworld" was a metaphor to his grief. He was given the curse to actually realize that he had already lost her. Yet he still holds on to the idea of going back to how things were before she first died. He didn't even realize she changed after dying so many times but her guard noticed it by how "mature" she's become. Their relationship isn't going back to however it was before and his ego couldn't accept that. So he took it upon himself to try and "save" her every damn time by contolling her in the guise of protection. He did this so desperately that he even ignored the fact she cheated. Not addressing the elephant in the room and going back to treating her the same until her 20th was like him in the og myth "looking back before they could leave the underworld" which led to Eurydice realizing that he is a red flag making her take back control by dying in her own terms which was what the gods wanted and foretold.
Entropy is a scientific concept to describe chaos. In the end entropy wins and it's continuously expanding since the big bang (the creation of the universe). All things get more disorderly with time except life. Energy cannot be created only transforms but when it gets transformed into caloric energy there is no way back. Is the most useless form of energy and cannot be retrasnformed. This is entropy. Life is continuously fighting disorder. One of the properties of life is that it autoregulates. "Oh a piece of me went missing? Let's create a replacement if not we die" it's always self maintaining and fighting against entropy. But entropy always wins. Life always dies. And this disorder will one day "kill" the whole universe. All energy will become caloric and all life will die. This is the end of the universe. No more suns no more planets since it's also energy that maintains them. And so on .
I think entropy is Johan. :)
Wow thank you !! who said manhwa don’t teach you anything
real
Thank u so much for explaining it!
Yup, the heat death of the universe.
Nah this is shit. The author wanted to have her cake and eat it too. There is no consequences for anyone. Her father is an asshole but she still loves him. He goes on a bloody rampage but he will be allowed to walk out by authorities? Like at least make something more believable
She always fumbles the end because she doesn’t really understand feminism despite trying to incorporate it into her works. Japanese women and society are really behind on social progress so it’s to be expected. They just don’t have the understanding and deconstruction of these topics on as wide of a scale as western nations. They’re a few decades behind in terms of social progress. This kind of thing is harder in more collectivist countries vs individualist.
I think to say Japanese women are “behind” is honestly a bit weird - it’s as if we’re saying the west is the “correct pahh to that we should all converge towards”. It’s giving very “we are the centre of the world.”
Of course Japan in regards to gender equality is very poor, but there are other feminism methods that don’t require the west’s model. China has done a pretty great job at feminism for instance (e.g the men and the women share all the chores, and in some regions the men does everything).
I personally think the western interpretation of feminism is very very ineffective and drives men and women apart
I don’t trust this author at all tbh. The ending is gonna be unsatisfying esp if you read her last work
i agree
I’m talking the average Japanese person just like the average western woman. Women are not encouraged to be feminists and society will try to discourage you from feminist thought and action through consequences and dominant culture. I’m not trying to say Japanese women aren’t “woke” but they’re more highly discouraged and strictly confined by their collectivist society than western women in countries that operate in an individualist model. I was watching the Japanese me too movement and listening to Japanese women. They have it bad. Think about how hard it is to convince older women even in individualist societies that their husband is being disrespectful and abusive. The ones always excusing men around them or telling you you’re being too harsh on men while letting men get away with sexism. That’s what I mean by “behind”. The average Japanese woman still faces LEGAL discrimination in the workplace and is strongly encouraged to get married and have kids and become a housewife. They can’t even get divorced unless both people agree meaning your abusive husband has to agree to let you go which leads to a culture of women who run away in the dead of night. Japan is behind in terms of social progress than other 1st world countries and that’s a fact. LGBT people and women lack basic human rights afforded to those groups in other 1st world countries. I love consuming works from Japanese women about feminism but when I do I feel like their works feel a few decades behind compared to the work in my nation. It feels like consuming what was produced in my region in my mother and grandmothers generations. Saying this doesn’t mean Japan lacks in other areas. But I studied about Japan in college and studied the language and can speak with more knowledge than the average person on sites like this.
Personally I’m most interested in lesbians feminist theories
Wise words.
Soooooo...

...it turns out that when you go into a killing spree people actually die
You guys believe me, if you ever meet a man named Eros run. It has to be something about the name, I met two guys named Eros, both completely crazy, just different flavor of crazy
Maybe I'm misremembering, but didn't he emperor go kill all the witches after dumping her? Like she didn't just become psychotic after being dumped, she became psychotic after handing the murder weapon to his lover who would then use it to persecute and eradicate her people and her family. Like doesn't make it okay but makes it more understandable.
My (only) beef with this story is basically what you're pointing out. It would make more sense if she hated him because of what he did to her kin. But every time Anita's feelings are brought up, what ends up being the focus and reason for her hatred is that he used and betrayed her. In other words, she's more angry about him betraying her than actual betrayal (the killing of the witches etc). They wrote Anita to basically be love-crazed. It's never been about her people. It's just been about her trash love life.
Completely agree. This witches also forget to mention how she might, idk, be a bit mad about her mother and other witches being killed? It's a bit weird
The female lead seems refreshing and seems well constructed. But wtf is going on with the male lead? Not only does he fit into the boring trope of the emotionless man but he is also not even interesting or nice???
