I was hoping for a Mishima side story myself but that's ok maybe one day .
maybe mishima and the brother? would hope a better partner but tbh i think the brother has potential since he obviously wasn't born an asshole but raised an asshole (sadly)
Mishima looks like such a baddie if he is the romantic candidate for the brother I hope he whips his ass into shape lol
He had me wrapped around his lil finger before I even saw the tattoos.
U know what you (and the commenter below) make EXCELLENT points. I guess the author depicted him (the brother) as misguided and not wholly irredeemable since he got a head pat when the main character cut ties could totally be Mishima who sets him on the right path he's way too beautiful to not get more screentime!!
yep!!! i vote for this, @author now
I can see Mishima as a no-nonsense omega who won't put up with the brother's prejudice shit lol
I like the idea of him putting that asshole in his place after what he did.
Begging for this to be the route it takes.
Mishima is so fucking great OTL
That upset me so bad that I'm trying to think of ways this could be less bad to cope like m-maybe he sent someone like taegu and the sponsor just showed up at hae-yool's apartment on his own and this was a clever misdirection by the author ........ But probably not, eh
I was really hoping at least some of the side character romance might have progressed / blossomed since I'm interested to see how their friends deal with feelings and it would make the main couple tension easier on me but it seems that so far is all riddled in bittersweet pain ;;;;; ahhhh AHHHHH can't catch a break my friends !!!
I think there's a lot of nuance here.... The director has been portrayed as someone who doesn't understand how to navigate social situations very well and is actively working to change that, though there are ups and downs with that and their motivations are still unclear
Minato is deeply traumatized by his childhood and is unstable as a result but is trying really really hard to navigate that. He slips up sometimes - lashes out and is physically or verbally violent in brief moments but that doesn't define his character and we can see where he's coming from and how hard he's trying.
Shizuma is burned by getting cheated on in the past and is self-admittedly obtuse when ppl don't explicitly tell him what they mean, so he thinks that open affection can make up for communication issues, and has to learn to navigate his work life balance and be more mindful of his actions
None of these people are being evil or malicious on purpose they're just complex and messy I get that it's kind of frustrating to have prolonged drama when you're hoping for domestic bliss but I actually like seeing a couple work through issues and I like seeing rude or antagonistic characters like the director get depth and learn how to behave ..... Am I alone in this
THIS !!! Everyone is fairly flawed which drivens the issue they're having right now. I also thought that everybody forgot about Minato's trauma so I'm glad you pointed it out! ┗( T﹏T )┛
Welp, I agree with you on everything. It’s just that personally, I am a person who can relate more to Minato than to Shizuma and what Shizuma finds hard to do because of his personality, I think of as only common sense. However, I do realize that they both have problems they need to work on for the relationship to work, as you’ve said so I don’t like it even more when seeing so many comments that say Shizuma is already very good and does not need to do anything, it’s Minato that’s oversensitive and the real problem. I just get so worked up but I have to start everything by stating what I see as Minato’s problems before stating what I think he’s trying to and has already done about it because I don’t want people to misunderstand and say I’m just hating on Shizuma just to hate before I can even point out where Shizuma is lacking as the other person in the relationship and how he still has to learn how to solve his own personal problems of not being able to set up boundaries not just in his workplace with his colleagues (for a healthier work-life balance and a healthier work environment where his personal time does not get unreasonably exploited out of work hours and his fellow intern does not get unreasonably jealous of him over unfair treatment) but with his ex also (just that we don’t see him interacting with his ex very much anymore so it’s ignored and not brought up but it’s still there because it’s part of his friendly and open personality).
Everyone is flawed in this story and that's what makes the story interesting. But I'm still pissed off at shizuma and the director nonetheless. (￣∇￣")
Minato is already building up his character development. Now we just have to see whether shizuma will get his shit together or not. (〜￣△￣)〜
Obviously super thrilled by that last panel but I neeeeeed them to tell Doha's attendant STAT that Doha is alive and well he was so worried about his lifelong homie last like he'd never been depicted as so serious and so broken even as a starving orphandksndjjsnd
I actually really like how protective kinard is of yesing, consistently throughout the story and how mutually supportive their dynamic is. Idk love when characters have other ppl they care about than just their love interest.
It's also super funny now that he's losing his mind spelling out the obvious to Shahid re: yesing with zero success
It is kind of jarring because the couple is having a really tense drama meanwhile woojin's dialogue is so funny and for what on my hands and knees begging for his story
No I meant to like . So true I love him so much. He's so fun
Ur so good thank u for believing in woojin supremacy
This is so random and I'm sure no one else on the planet cares but I couldn't help but notice that suguru senpai is left handed (few panels of him holding pencil in left hand in the last chapter) and I got excited cuz you almost never see that in manga especially not slice of life/school life anyways dkskdndldl
I love the implication that reapers and the underworld are canon in the sign-versenfkdjsmddkdmfkdldk
