How many people on the beach clapped because they assumed Eunsuk was a girl?
Jinhyuk is such a precious baby. Mary is a glorious pervert and honestly friend goals. Director Kim's internal monologue is everything I'm thinking. I love him and I want bad things to happen to the boss.
Political correctness has no place when you don't actually know what you're talking about...so calm down.
The seme isn't suggesting that people treat Tooru like he's disabled because of his feelings or actions. He wants Tooru to consider that his perception of himself has changed...affecting his perception of how he relates to the world around him and vice versa. His pride is directly fueling his denial.
The idea is that his parents and friends didn't think he was a burden. Instead of facing his own fears about being "disabled", different, a burden, he projects those feelings onto others. Tooru has unconsciously decided that people see him as different or a burden and will treat him accordingly.
If he was facing his circumstances, he wouldn't only go out at night, he'd have a job, he'd learn sign language in earnest, and look into hearing aids (all before he met the seme). It's the same as anything else, you get diabetes ->you change your diet, you develop allergies->you avoid the allergen, you ride your bike at night->you wear high visibility gear. The cane just tells the people around you that they may need to behave differently with you than they do with others. If a person steps out onto the crosswalk, but a cyclist or driver is about to hit them, you might shout "Look Out!!". This is pretty useless to pretty much anyone with a cane. Seeing the cane, your instinct will have previously been altered, and you might pull them back yourself. You go to a fast food place and when your order is up they call your number over the loudspeaker. To those with canes->people who have difficulty walking, the blind, the deaf...an employee will have taken note and probably bring your food to you.
There's nothing wrong with differently-abled people, but your relationship with the world is indeed different than others...so your behavior must be different as well.
Thank you! As a woman in a wheelchair and from the bottom of my heart, thank you. You get it.
why can't he talk??? he lost his hearing, it does not mean he is mute.
This is just a guess, those who are more well-informed, do fell free to correct me if I’m wrong. But back to the question at hand, when he lost his hearing and became unable to tell if he says or pronounced his words properly, it probably became easier to either write or sign his ‘words’ out instead of speaking.
Wows..thank you..people and their PC and over sensitivity need a reality check
There is an area in the brain next to the temporal lobe called broca’s area. That’s the part that translates thought to speech. Based on where the scar is, he could have sustained injury to that area and lost his ability to speak. Side note, Broca’s area is commonly affected by strokes, so many stroke survivors have difficulty speaking, though they may have recovered.
I also agree with you on your statement wholeheartedly I think what made me a bit mad was that although that's what he meant, he didn't phrase it the right way and came off a little condescending, if he he said like you did I would not be feeling like this, and thought personal experience, although your intention might be obvious to you it may may be obvious to the others, I have said some things trying to be helpful and didn't explain the way I should have, the seme kinda reminded me of those days, I have gotten a little better but i still have to be careful, BUT o completely agree with what you wrote. I know this is late but I wanted to say something sorry for the inconveniences
Like most of you, I'm not reading this entire thing at once and I've read many things in the meantime. Have we already learned the significance of the picture?...who that guy is? Or are we in the dark along with the uke?
If im not wrong the seme say the uke is remind him of someone of the past
WELL BY THAT STATEMENT THAT WAS AN ASSHOLE MOVE OF THE SEME ;-;
*thanks for the clarification too by the way :))))
he was his lover who died but i am not sure because i think seme lied to uke about his lover in chapter 37 i dont know but i didnt believe him he didnt tell him everything but uke believed him and seme looks like he loves uke
I've never read a manga and said, "sooooo cuuuuute!!!!" with every. single. picture. of a character...until now.
Was I the only one who died when Kousuke blows, what honestly looks like a dog whistle, and Kobayashi comes to haul Syuri away? Also, my heart hurts for Ryouya and Atsuma. Far too much was being asked of those two. Yes, both of them. People are too hard on Ryouya. My family life resembled Atsuma, and asking a (less-than-worldly) teenager (Ryouya), with most likely no experience with that kind of situation, to read between the lines and figure out the secrets is really unfair. It's easy to say you would have known what was going on and been able to help, but unless you're trained to interpret the signs, or have experienced them yourself, that would almost certainly not be the case.
P.S. Poor Sakuchi
Egg-fucking-zacly!
You guys are simultaneously oversimplifying and overcomplicating things...which is genuinely impressive. Why are you acting like cowards and anxiety are mutually exclusive? Cowards act as such because of their anxieties. You've decided that coward is merely an insult and written it off as a way to disregard Homin's difficulties. That is incorrect. Cowards are those who lack the courage to face unpleasant things. Homin didn't even have the courage to find out if he'd be facing anything unpleasant. Hyeseong just said that Homin started keeping everything to himself before high school, which is before he had or realized his romantic feelings. Separate from his confusion over his feelings for his friend, he had long been avoiding what was bothering him. He clearly has a seemingly baseless anxiety over his feelings. We have no reason to assume he's suffered any trauma specific to his anxiety...assuming otherwise by ch 12 is merely making excuses for terrible behavior. Hyeseong hasn't given Homin any reason to doubt him. In fact, Hyeseong makes it abundantly clear that he cares for him more than a friend and even more than family. Is he afraid Hyeseong will think he's disgusting and hate him? Does he really think so little of Hyeseong? Is he afraid it will ruin their brotherly relationship? Completely cutting ties with him does that, but without closure. His behavior is unquestionably selfish and cowardly. Everyone has anxieties about something, and it can give insight into why we react to certain things. The way we deal with anxiety is what sets people apart. Many cops who use excessive force do so because of racism-inspired anxieties...but they are clearly at fault and their irrational fears do not explain their behavior or beg sympathy. Should Homin be forgiven for sincerely wronging Hyeseong because he was afraid of everything? Having anxiety does not explain him only thinking of himself and giving no consideration to the person who cares most about him. He was too afraid to confront his feelings, too afraid to be honest with his most important person, too afraid to even cut ties officially. I'm not saying he should have said, "Screw it" and confessed his feelings. However, burying your head in the sand and running away without a word is not ok. Ghosting someone is an act of cowardice and disrespect...he did that to his best friend x100.
I can't agree more!! I'm just disappointed at his behavior and how he treated and continues to treat his supposed 'love', because it's hard to call it true love when he disrespect Hyeseong so much!!
