I've been thinking and fuming and thinking and fuming about that last side story since it came out. Like I get that its mostly a joke and a fun "what if" but the polygamous ending literally makes no sense. How would it ever even work when 2/3rds of the relationship fucking hate each other and are both the jealous type? Like magically they're going to suddenly get along and not fight over her attention and love??? What sort of get along sweater magic do they have??? I know I'm thinking too hard about it and I'm just a disappointed Lucas x Athy fan but it really is such a "this would totally make sense if you ignore canon and turn your brain off" chapter. I am without the necessary whimsy.
I was hoping they were being sneaky about shiki cuz i really needed him and Akari to end up together. I think this is the most realistic yakuza manga I've ever read. Like there were real life-altering consequences for everyone involved even the protagonists. I feel like most yakuza romances just end up with the antagonists dead or defeated and the the "Good guys" make it out with barely a scratch. I really liked this
I can't believe anyone could call her weak-minded as if she isn't morbidly depressed and grieving not only her relationship with shinpei but also the relationship she though she had with her father.... like their world wouldn't be as shattered as hers if all that stuff just happened to them. And ESPECIALLY with her circumstances???? A woman in that time period, a woman with her medical condition??? Get real. If I was her idk how I'd function at all. There's no way I wouldn't be spiraling from all that.
I couldn’t even make it to chapter 10. I can't handle how much these kids are getting hit/almost hit by the adults around them including their own dad: / Like what is WRONG with all the adults??? There's absolutely 0 sympathy shown towards these kids that literally just lost their mother. Poor takuya











Is it just me or are the characters really starting to look different these last few chapters??? I know its normal for the art to change a bit over a long series but all of a sudden I'm like really noticing it
