Looking at couples growing old together is so bittersweet. It's happy but also feels so somber and nostalgic. They have spent the rest of their lives together and are now ready to pass away by each other's side.
The ending left me feeling empty. I was never shipping Waki with the dead dude but I definitely was waiting to see more development between Waki and Rika. It feels disappointing how open ended their relationship ended up being. I was hoping after Waki wraps up his arc with Hoshihiko, the author will then focus on developing Waki and Rika's relationship. It's sad how that never happened.
This is like the ultimate lesbian and gay solidarity manga.
Reminds me of Tasogare otome x amnesia. If I remember correctly, that one had a happy ending. From the looks of it though, this one is not going to be very happy, lol.
Very cute manga, but the author rushed this so much by the end. It looks like the number one callboy would have entered the story, but he barely appeared in two panels max because the author rushed to end the story within five chapters. This started out strong, but the ending kind of felt super rushed and weird. The MCs were obviously very cute though, but I wish the story took a little more time and development before jumping to them dating.
I thought Aoi and Jirou were the main couple of this story, but I felt like more than half the manga was about Kudou and Miyauchi, lol. Aoi and Jirou's story was very rushed while the author took their time to really write Miyauchi and Kudou well.
Re-reading this manga years later, I realized Miyauchi sleeping with other men to "save" Aoi never made much sense to me. Aoi may have been an omega but he was still born in a prestigious family. His past felt a little silly to me and it felt like the author just wanted to give Miyauchi a sexual trauma but didn't care about making it make sense.
Even if he did sell himself to save Aoi, it doesn't mean that that those men wouldn't still harm Aoi. I don't mind sexual trauma being shown in manga, but it shouldn't feel like it's being used as a shock factor or a plot device to move the plot forward. Which it did feel like in Miyauchi's case. At least Kudou's SA was handled in a very serious way.
Also, the master and butler both saying "desire more of me!!" to their partners was a nice touch.
So, what happens by the end? Since this is already completed in the OG Korean version.
It's so sad how Tsukuyomi never got his happy ending with the MC :( He deserved to be happy by the end more than anyone else.
Those two have been together since they were kids, they really deserved to end up with each other. But in the end, he just ends up being a grave watcher to his destined mate and his descendants... That's so shitty and miserable. The panel where he protects Rurikawa from the rabbit was so cute and they were about to mate before the shitty rabbit interrupted them. I never liked the rabbit, what a bummer.
I always hated the ML for leaving the MC for a woman but then I remember how the ML came back to the MC and they grew old together and died of old age by spending the rest of their lives together. This still makes me cry to this day. What a somber and nostalgic manga.
I am not seeing more people point out how Aoi penetrated himself with Ryouta without his consent? Like I get he is head over heels in love with Aoi, but no matter how much I know the other person loves me, I couldn't do that without at least establishing the consent before hand... It would have been nice if they at least established a consent before that happened. I absolutely love this couple, but that part left me feeling uncomfortable.
Just don't think too much about it
