The firefly marriage is the best straight shoujo ive read ever in my life. The art is beautiful, the characters lovable and endearing, and the plot has the perfect pace and structure.

Not everyone likes a bittersweet ending, but im not one of them. I believe that art can be beautiful and meaningful even when the ending is not a cup full of happiness. At that time in japan they could not help Satoko's health, so her death was already a promise, from the first chapter which begins with an old man reading a letter.

Satoko and Junpei are like ying and yang, a dying flower yearning for the wind to tear her away from the greenhouse and take her places she has never seen, and the weed whose roots are ever growing to the point of shrinking others without mercy. One forced to die too soon, another forced to wander forever, in hopes of paying respects to her memory.

I hate that we're using a kid as a monster and a villain. He's obviously using the same mindset and projecting the same hatred as his dad, yet it seems the author really wants ballsack to be a true almost adult-like hateful antagonist with clear reasons to act the way he does (spoiler alert: he shouldn't, I sure as hell didn't when I was his age).

Don't get me wrong, what he did was completely unacceptable, but I don't think this was the right punishment at all. Ballsack needed to hear from grandpa the reason why he was punished (which really wasn't a punishment at all if u think about it, the way I see it his brother ended up having a much more impactful one, and that isn't fair), because he truly doesn't understand why he'd be in the wrong. He's been taught by his dad to think like that, and that he has the right to act that way, but unless someone sits him down and teaches him properly and talks to him, that kind of behaviour will just get worse.

But the author very obviously wants to treat these kids like they're rebellious teenagers, for the purpose of having clear villains in the story (ballsack, the empress and the prince), and children characters are always very hard to write about, so I guess that's that. #-.-)

    What kind of punishment would you like the grandfather to give?

    Besides explaining to ballsack why what he did was wrong, I'd like him to tell ballsack to properly apologize for what he did in front of everyone, as well as be taken from sword lessons like his brother. What irks me is that ballsack didn't even have to apologize.

This feels too stupid. Unnecessary drama.
She could easily just ask her sister or talk to her about curing the prince, yet she's gonna just push her towards him and leave, possibly leaving the prince in a really fucking bad state. She saw how he reacted to the simple thought of her leaving and still thinks it's better if she does.

Like I get that she's trying to follow the original plot and get him better, but damn there's a million other better ways to go about curing him.

She's just gonna traumatize the kid even more at this pace.

I still don't like Cain. He caused this whole ordeal, so now he has to lay on the bed he made.

I don't agree with this writing choice at all tho, feels like we're just stalling or not giving enough attention to the actual villain of the story, the prince.

I hate the fact that she has no backbone to make her own decisions or basically tell the men around her to shut up. This chapter is basically the male lead making decisions for her out of jealousy and worry, and her friends making assumptions and deciding that she's going because they want her to.

Like I'd get it if she were a child, but she's an adult and royalty at that, so you'd think she would be capable of telling at least the friends to shut up since they have no idea what they're talking about.

Idk, feels weird to me. She's already weak as it is, but her personality is just so submissive at times it gets me annoyed.

    Ma'am i recommend you to read this story again from the top. Only then you will know she's not some push over. You might have forgotten several bold things tht she had done.

    Bruh I know she can be bold, it was this chapter that got to me specifically tho bc everyone seems to be making decisions for her (not to mention ML's jealousy which ain't cute at all)

    I see. But she did make her own decision . In the end she told the ML tht she would still go the party even when the ML didn't want to. Wht i can say is tht she's a considerate person. But of course it's understandable for this kind of scene to irk some people since she's not arguing back aggressively.

Fuck Cain. All my homies hate Cain.

Mellowstu May 9, 2021 7:33 am

I have no idea what the fuck Cain expects to happen.

Does he think she'll fall for him eventually? Is he so delusional to the point of thinking that Rina will fall in love with him and stay with him in due time?

I feel like he lost his marbles for good and honestly given that we knew what type of character he was before, it doesn't make sense.

    Ella May 11, 2021 1:47 pm

    EXACTLYY LIKE WHEN HE CONFESSED DID HE THINK SHE'D SAY "Oh my dear lovely Cain let's runaway and be together"?? He deserves to get shit on tbh I'm confused how Rina isn't even angrier than that

Mellowstu April 24, 2021 8:56 pm

Bruv I don't care if cain likes rina this is still messed up! He should've either swallowed his feelings and step away or deal with it in a healthy way by being honest from the start. Not kidnaping rina and try to force her to do what HE thinks is safe for her.

Wtf

    maychan April 24, 2021 9:10 pm

    I know right? he so selfish it's annoying at this point ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
