So does that mean he has no option to be a man considering there is no woman he could sleep with?
Interesting how X kun is trying so hard to avoid the flag but in doing so is always thinking about the flag and H kun. "Meeting fate on the path you take to avoid it" vibes.
Ok master oogway
The mangaka in trying to play it safe has made the MC extremely frustrating and seem flaky. It's like he has no conviction of his own and is easily swayed. His insistence on not relying on Mori sounds very dumb as well. He worried that he would not stay friends if he knows his secret and got enstranged from him anyway and did nothing about it. Then he trusts Ayase with his secret????? And shares all his plans with him but still won't trust Mori. It is completely illogical and frustrating.
I think most people would care about how their friends think of them than people who are actually flaky.
Ha ha... I predicted this would happen - https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/21544319/
This is not a prediction but I hope the story will be that Seunghyun already knows. He knew Yuta wants revenge. When he gets that call 6 hours after Yuta disappears I hope the story goes that SH realizes its a trap coz given all the security around Yuta couldn't have been kidnapped and had to have left on his own. The time delay before he gets the call and making sure SH knows Yuta needs to eat medicine within the next 2 hours is to make sure SH is panicking and doesn't have time to think. I'd want the story to be that SH already know that even if he didn't want to believe and took precautions.
What if this is Yuta's plan to get revenge against Seunghyun by making him sign over his wealth for love and then realize he was betrayed?
Seungheun - "His eyes look suspicious"
The eyes - "The heck? You can't even see me bro"
I see people hate one character or the other but I liked this story overall.
Let's start with Kou. He did have a bad habit of cheating when drunk but it can be attributed to the repressed memories thing and you can see he puts in the effort to not do it. Even with Mikuni actively pursuing him and literally forcing himself on him Kou only slipped up once. I'm not counting the first time when he was very drunk and the time when they went to the wedding coz he and Ao was kind of broken up and Ao was literally going to an omiai at that point. Kou actively avoided Mikuni while he was with Ao refusing to meet him outside of what was strictly necessary for work.
Though the way he said it to Mikuni in the end makes it sound like he is choosing Ao out of guilt or pity it's quite obvious that's not the case. Kou goes out of his way to hold on to Ao and the thought of losing him stresses him enough to give him ulcer. He genuinely thinks of them as destined to be together forever. He has no problems with Ao hiding the truth from him and he is pissed because Ao didn't trust that he would still choose Ao and because Ao's feelings were not strong enough to hold on to him.
The mangaka kind of attributes Ao's initial attraction to Mikuni in high school to his father-con obsession with his dead dad in an archery outfit. Though Ao is a "no fun" serious guy who most would consider boring Kou loves that part of him as well and sees that as one of his charms and feels that the girl from the omiai will fall for Ao. He literally looks at Ao with rose tinted glasses. Even when Ao had gone for an omiai and Kou had given up and had gone to Mikuni's home he was still wishing that he could call Ao and talk to him. There isn't a single moment when he actively considers leaving Ao and being with someone else. I don't think Kou will cheat now that he has all his memories.
There's really no reason to hate on Ao. He had no obligation to give full information to Mikuni. It was Mikuni's fault for not trying to look for Kou or contact him for so long. On the other hand towards the end when Mikuni said Kou agreed to be with him (he meant Kou agreed to be at Mikuni's home while he recovered) Ao misunderstood that as Kou agreeing to date Mikuni. Even then when he thought their relationship was over and Kou had moved on Ao still went to look for Kou and apologize. He is a keeper.
Mikuni is weird for persistently pursuing a guy who slept with him when very drunk. No one seems to have a problem with how manipulative and forceful Mikuni was while Kou kept saying no because he already has a lover during the second time. He chose to use his hold over Kou in a work setting to make him spend time with him outside work. Later on Mikuni has a little more justification once he finds out Kou is his long lost first love he never found a resolution with. I don't particularly blame him at that point coz he saw a chance and he tried to take it and he seemed pretty reconciled to just working together with Kou in the end.
While what Jack did was bad I was glad it saved Brown. Dora is messed up. Just as the aunt is overly possessive and manipulative Dora is obsessive and self sabotaging. I can still understand her resenting a much younger Jack as a 13 year old when he first came to the house. But to not get over it and feel that way in her late 20s shows a twisted character. I'm glad Brown escaped. The 3 crazies belong together and they can mess each other's life up all they want.
Just because someone is in their late twenties doesn’t mean they automatically suddenly get unbrainwashed and are able to heal all trauma out of nowhere. She’s basically completely isolated and has no one to turn to. She’s the same as she was all those years ago. It’s unfortunate but sometimes that happens. Sometimes ppl are that isolated and fall through the cracks. She’s been denied education and made a de facto maid and caregiver. There is literally no one for her, she has no friends. How do you expect her to get out of there, out of that perspective, out of the only thing she’s ever known, the only sense of stability she has had within one year of meeting a dude? You have to tread lightly with victims who are deeply attached to their abusers. They don’t think those ppl are their abusers, they hinge all their trust and sense of self in them because they trust them so deeply. You can’t simply tell them that they’re abusers, they won’t believe you, it’d be attacking someone precious to them and that perspective shift is impossible to happen so fast. It takes so much patience and care, honestly Brown should have said whatever nice nonsense he had to about that hag to get her out of there and once they leave she’d have been free.
That's not how relationships work. A relationship is a 2 way thing. Brown is not Dora's psychiatrist or care-taker. Dora was never going to leave. It's good that he got away without getting dragged around for too long.
Every abuse victim doesn't have access to a psychiatrist, how do you think these ppl get out of these situations? How do you think ppl got out of these situations before psychiatrists were even a thing? It is with the help, the patience, empathy, and compassion of regular ppl around them. I’m not saying it’s an easy task or fair on the ppl who take it up, but sometimes ppl inconvenience themselves for the sake of others and that’s not bad or wrong.
Ms. Manhwa - You're not just whiny but also pretty childish. You say your piece and block me from responding. In any case since I typed this up I'm going to put it here - Your arguments are weak and delusional. I've never read an author note where the author said they completed the story in exactly the number of chapters they planned. Every single one of them talk about how they ended up writing way more chapters than they originally planned and some even twice as many chapters. Increase in chapters doesn't indicate a change in direction. I don't know about the merch wars. Twitter wars are very common particularly for triangles. Again that doesn't prove anything about a change in direction. The best you can say is that you don't agree with the mangaka's ending and that's perfectly fine. If everyone liked the same thing we would only have 1 type of story ever. I read this manga when it was ongoing and from the beginning I thought all indications pointed to Taekyung being a means to character growth for all 3 mc and for bringing the Haesoo and Juwon together. There was no way this was going to end any other way when it was made clear over and over that Haesoo loves Juwon and keeps thinking about him even when he is with Taekyung. In life you would compromise because it is too hard to have a relationship your parents and society won't accept but you'd be hard pressed to find a fiction of any genre that ends that way. No writer will end a story as a happily ever after with a mc compromising and being with the person he doesn't love.
all people are flawed and showing a genuine relationship between two people with their own unique flaws who love each other is awesome!
