I wonder if the same people in the comments who hate on Tamura for being just your everyday tsundere also feel the same way about other more popular tsunderes like kyo from fruits basket (nothing wrong with disliking the archetype mind you, I personally enjoy tsunderes and can’t stand kuuderes but even then I get it if people like them lol)
I like tsunderes overall too (more than the kuudere type for sure), am okay with Tamura but really not a fan of shipping him with Yacchan,, also he is no Kyo from Fruits Basket— but pretty much no one is hehe (honestly would align Kyosuke/Yacchan with the tsundere type and closer to Kyo more too, that’s part of what drew me to him after all)
First of all, peak username For sure not every ship is for everyone, it’s totally cool not liking it and I tbh agree with Yacchan also being very tsundere coded (even more than Tamura fr). Personally I ship them, mostly because how Tamura is a switch so I can see him bend to whatever Yacchan prefers (which Tono already is doing anyways). But seeing some comments call Tamura a full on bully just when he’s being a usual tsundere is unreal when Yacchan has had quite a few more times where he was acting more like a bully since he’s also very tsundere coded Not that being a tsundere is ever an excuse for being a bully, but at most I feel like Tamura has been annoying rather than a bully lol
Why thank you~ Understandable yeah, I mainly remember Tamura’s “tsundere” behavior showing up with Yuri but even then I think I’d categorize that with something else, not sure specifically what personality type I’d call Tamura but it’s interesting for sure (and I love whatever that is lol)! That makes make with the switching concept, and yeah those bully comments were kinda wild, I see it a bit (like in a light teasing way) from how Yacchan would misunderstand based on interactions so far but comments were reaching extra lmao, and would agree that it seems to have mellowed out like just being annoying… Funny enough, I actually like bully x victim ships a lot too but that’s like a whole nother concept that doesn’t fit that pair like you said, and I’m getting more of the appeal now that I’m thinking about that scene where Yacchan talked back and got up close, flustering Tamura hehehe.
pfft I meant to say “that makes sense” not “that makes make” XD, (side note: I didn’t want to generalize a whole subculture and misalign it, but Tamura’s vibes remind me of a sleazy cool/bitchy vibe that gets stereotyped & fetishized with the gyaru/gyaruo concept, and idk maybe he could count as a gyaruo?? he’s like cool but puts the bitch in yarichin bitch club for sure lolol, whatever he is I’m loving it),, I think I’m just initially put off by the Tamura & Yacchan ship because I’m so invested in the already established playful nature between Yacchan & Toono and could like that ship in another story/universe (I enjoy both their personality/character types so it sounds fun<3)
Joshua wtf my dude why risk showing him the kid first before coming clean about everything if you’re still unsure how he’ll react?? as a parent, wouldn’t it make more sense to have all the serious talk BEFORE so you know he won’t act out in front of the kid later??? I think some of his brain cells are on vacation with every single one Chase has lol
I think he knows Chase won’t act out bc he is showing his desperation, Chase is willing to be with him regardless of whose child it is so he’ll be on his best behavior cuz he knows the kid is the dealbreaker Like he could come clean now and cause a big mess where he could lose both Chase and his kid or lose control in deciding how they meet…or he could introduce them first on his own terms, gauge their rs potential and if it’s a mess no harm no foul they never find out the truth. He just chose the easy route
I’m gonna be the black sheep here and say I hate Rosetta in this latest chapter specifically. As someone who also had an abusive father who was more emotionally/psychologically abusive towards me and more physically abusive towards my youngest sibling (so I speak from some experience, tho I’m fully aware everyone’s abuse can be wildly different experiences and don’t assume mine is “right” or “worse” than others), my sister for sure had it worse than me and no matter how much it impacted me psychologically, it impacted her both physically AND psychologically. I think Rosetta is speaking from a very closed off/selfish perspective where she is still not making a genuine effort to get to know Maxi, she’s just extrapolating from her own experience and applying her own logic from her lived experience. Mind you, I don’t hate Rosetta overall, she is struggling as well and has much trauma that she needs to work on (like Maxi did and does). But her atitude this particular chapter, in my own opinion, is not to protect Maxi but rather to try and make Maxi be more like her since this is how she thinks she’ll persevere.
I completely agree with you. I was shocked when i came over from manta to read people’s opinions and there are a lot saying Rosetta was not wrong for what she said. Honestly, i’m pissed. I understand what she was trying to say, but I feel like it’s nothing Maxi didn’t know. We can see in the recent chapters she acknowledging her flaws and the fact that she might not ever be able to fully trust Riftan. She knows that and she hates that. She doesn’t need her sister reminding her of that in such a shitty way. It is heartbreaking that she was forced to watch her older sister be abused, that itself is definitely a form of abuse because their father was doing that with the intention of inflicting fear into Rosetta. But dare I say that doesn’t mean she understands Maxi nor does that validate what she was telling Maxi. Like, We can see Maxi wants to change but she is struggling. And here is Rosetta being negative, cold, and very discouraging. Good lord. Like you, i understand she’s struggling, and i hope things change for her for the better, but she doesn’t have to pull her sister down even further and keep her there. I was really hoping to hear words of encouraging in 156 from her. Not whatever that speech was.
I was surprised too at how many people were on her side. Mind you, in the end I also feel for her since she’s also a victim, but her approach in this conversation was riddled with her own trauma rather than Maxi’s. Even if I want to say she did it to try and “help” Maxi face things in the same less emotional way Rosetta seems to do, it feels a bit misplaced when she’s just pointing out the negative while giving 0 alternatives. Let’s say Maxi follows what she’s trying to say, where do we go from there? Does she expect Maxi to return to her father? I don’t think so, it’s clear Rosetta didn’t think that was for the best from previous chapters. Does she expect Maxi to leave Riftan? I also don’t think that’s her goal because then Maxi would have nowhere to go (and Rosetta isn’t at a standing where she can offer any protection, etc to Maxi right now). Does she want Maxi to stay where she is, in the marriage she is in, but just fully exclude emotion from it? If that’s it, it does show how little she truly knows Maxi despite everything given how Rosetta has seen how attached Maxi and Riftan are to each other. I’m not saying she isn’t coming from a good place, she does have good intentions (though very marred by her own trauma) and is trying to make Maxi stronger and more resilient all things considered. The message just didn’t land since there’s not enough between them right now to justify it, besides the trauma (that Maxi only now fully realized Rosetta also shared) and a shitty father. There needed to be more love (or at the very least respect/trust) for her message to get across properly. Just like Rosetta herself said (and she is right) they’re both not in a state where they can freely love/trust someone without the trauma getting in the way and that also applies to sisterly love, not just romantic one. I do hope they both get to strengthen their relationship down the line as nice they’ve both healed individually a bit as well, I really don’t think Rosetta had any ill intentions in the end.
Cant agree more. Rosetta’s attitude was completely distorted and wrong. Speaking from experience from witnessing versus actually having the abuse happen? And then having the nerve to tell Maxi her distorted thoughts?
You recognize distortions from therapy, it’s just tragic as she doesn’t realize she’s projecting her own misaligned thinking.
I think Rosetta said that because she saw how Maci was still unable to trust Roftan , it was more clear in novel, she was just saying it so if they can't trust eachother atleast they will be better off breaking up instead of hurting eachother. But she just said it like a fact not to force her opinion on maxi
I never read the novel so for sure there might be more nuance to this scene there than we saw here. The thing is, I don’t see how breaking up would help Maxi in any way right now. Given the world setting, she’d either have to return back to her family’s house (where we already know Rosetta’s hands are tied in helping Maxi for the most part) or I don’t see a better option since Rosetta isn’t married yet to have enough power to help Maxi if she was no longer married. Like I said in a reply to a different comment, I don’t doubt she had good intentions with this conversation, it just came across wrong because there’s not enough trust between the two sisters right now, so obviously this comes off more as a jab than anything else.











I say this as sort of a compliment really, but Amber reminds me so much of Nagito from Danganronpa
