Seems like a lot of ppl thought Nagakawa was the mc lolol I knew this was a spinoff of Like a Sugar. But with the way Nagakawa was introduced in the first chapter, ngl I thought this would lead towards the three of them ending up in a poly relationship lolol
like yeah, he's flawed and made lots of mistakes, especially to Yuki, but he never had bad intentions and he was very genuine T^T. He's basically a young adult who didn't know any better, and I'm glad to see his development and see him finally getting his closure. His character felt very real and human to me to the point I even cried during his ferris wheel ride with Yuki because he just resonates with me so much. He's so so dear to me, and I hope he continues to have more happy days in his life :')))
Caution: Yap session ahead !!!
Pureum's character is just so interesting to me. Partly because I love when I see imperfections in a character (makes them feel more human to me) and partly because I feel like I can relate to her.
From what we've seen, it seems like Pureum is a gifted kid, who received a lot of praise (+ pressure) at an age so young. She's introverted, lacks social awareness and is very socially awkward, and all of these traits are what I have too
I became socially withdrawn due to the pressure, bullying and lack of attention I got as a fellow gifted kid, but thankfully I'm slowly getting at a better position now. Took me a while to finally be comfortable to interact with people again, though I guess the social awkwardness and anxiety did not fully go away lol. Despite all that, I'm so glad I've made friends who can accept me for who I am.
So although Pureum's story may be wayyy different than mine, I still feel like I'm looking at myself when I watch Pureum. And I'm glad she's bumped into Bomi's friend group, who doesn't seem to mind her presence and also accepts her for who she is (an awkward silly girl ). I've grown so fond of her in this story, and I'm excited to discover more about her character!
i've finished watching the first season of the anime. watched each episode the same day they got released HAHA and it was peak!! so i'm super excited and have lots of expectations for season 2.
my main question while reading this manga is that, i really wonder how they'll animate the latter parts of the manga for it. cuz yk, it delves much deeper into the serious stuff, and i'm sure the holes would also be a nightmare to animate too..
i mean, look at those freaking legs, hands, and lastly, that decapitated and limbless body? omg! viewing them as still drawings already gives me goosebumps (kudos to mkmkren!) so i really cant imagine how much horrifying it would be after it gets animated. either way, i'm super excited and i really hope they'll take all the time they need to produce a really good s2 animation!!
the monstrous part of this manga is INCREDIBLY detailed, but since they animators did a good job with the first season, i don't think that the second season would be a let down (at least i hope it won't ￣∇￣")
i really admire the mangaka too, she's like a god- i tried drawing "hikaru" once- like one of the first panels with his eyeball coming out- and it was SOOO hard to get his weird mass thingy right. the plot too; i have NEVER been this invested in any piece of literature.
