I actually like this story. I can’t stand when a psychopath just becomes cured of their bad ways through the magic of love. Like I understand this is all a fantasy but it’s nice not to romanticize bad behavior sometimes and I believe the seme is just that, a bad guy who happens to be obsessed with the uke. I even like how the uke is naive because usually times that’s exactly that. Good people always talk themselves into their demise! If you think about a lot of true crime victims you realize that the victims always make the wrong decision in the end by giving the bad guy the benefit of doubt. Either way it go I give this a 9/10 for its realism & a 7/10 for its overall. It’s entertaining & it keeps me guessing the endgame in all this. Actually I give it a 8/10 for making root for the bad guy a little. When he stated “Back to square one”, I literally smirked myself as if I was him. So hand claps to the author!
The younger me is asking the older me to forgive me! I wasted to reread the manga so bad I went looking because the younger me would read something I liked & never add it to a list or at least vote. But now that I’m older this so “romantic” manga is a nightmare now. I honestly don’t know what I was thinking— like I legit cried the first couple of times reading this story & now I’m like wtf?! He should be jailed how he treated my girl & for the grooming! Also hello sister? Wtf?! She wasn’t trying to help the victim AT ALL! Either way I put it in my already read list so I can find it quicker & remind myself how crappy my taste was when I was 14 lol

Sorry to say this but the storyline was so boring I couldn’t finish it let alone pay attention to what was really going on. The drawing was beautiful though! And the characters was definitely hot lol ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Is there any other Yaoi manga with this type of art style?
I want the uke to be happy without either of the seme’s. I want him to live on a beach and get help & meet someone simple who would dedicate their life to him and a simple life. I know it won’t happen and if I had to pick the seme he ends up with it would be the brown hair dude but we all can dream!
You know who I want him to end up with? That black haired kid who also plays cello. He's the only person who genuinely wants to connect and has no ulterior motive. Please, just this once, end up with the boring mob character.
Wait fr tho like I just want him to be happy fheisksks
So I was on my Kumbaya ish & was saying how I don’t dislike anyone in this manga because of relatable characteristics. Well someone was nice enough to point out how Youngwoo made Taejoo think her raped him & I honestly don’t know how I glossed over that one. But I’m all for sticking up for insecurities BUT that is definitely unacceptable! So yeah... Youngwoo can get YEETED for all I care. What was crazy is I pointed out that it felt like he was a manipulator & ppl like my comment probably thinking I knew he made someone think they raped them! Absolutely did know & now Parting Ways definitely have a bad guy in its story to me. Rant over!
*dis NOT know
I honestly don’t dislike anyone in this manga. Sure I distrust Youngwoo because I feel like he’s an manipulator but even he has attachment issues that are relatable. And I probably shouldn’t say attachment more than insecurities because putting myself in his place I couldn’t imagine falling in love with somebody over 5 years just for all of our time to disappear because of a love connection that was considered gone.
Taejoo I sympathize with also because he really loved/ love Yoon. And to believe Yoon just disappeared for 5 years instead of being injured would hurt the pride more than anything. I understand him trying to move on and even though they have a heroic reason for why Yoon left it’s still something to consider as a partner. Especially because Yoon went straight back to the job that cost him 5 years of his life.
With that being said I sympathize with Yoon the most! I’m so proud of him trying to move on ‘ recognizing when he needs to stop a relationship that won’t benefit him in the end. I am rooting for him & Kwon. But I feel like Kwon needs to become more emotionally available and validate Yoon feelings more!
Long post but can’t wait to see what happens! I’m also okay if Yoon ends up alone for awhile! I definitely feel like he needs to truly heal from the trauma of everything!
I absolutely agree! But the fact that nobody is really at fault hurts more somehow
I can agree except for Youngwoo. He’s a terrible person
I definitely understand that! He gives me that “if I can’t have him no one can” vibe & I don’t like how he tries to manipulate Taejoo. Or how he tries to play victim. But I’m gonna give him the benefit of doubt right now because to me these characteristics I pointed out could be traced back to insecurities & that’s a very relatable feeling. (Not making excuses for him though! Just understanding his feelings)
I agree with that! I think it would just be comfortable for us to have someone to put all the blame on! But I also feel like the author is amazing for getting us out of our comfort zone and having to work through every one feelings together!
It’s kinda overlooked but he made Taejoo believe he r*ped him, so he would date him out of guilt. That’s psychotic
Plus something else but i wont spoil it~
Whoa now I need to reread because I definitely overlooked that! That changes a lot about his character... if you remember could you tell me what chapter that was on?
Chapter 25
We also see parts of that night in chapter 12+the most recent
Them laughing at him in the end was the perfect ending to this chapter. Also noticing how the Duke set up little miss bitchy with that outfit. Maybe he not such an ally to her.
I’m going to hold you hand when I say this, but it’s time to leave my love! I’m really ready for the turnaround for this manga. Like Dan needs to understand he is the prize in this relationship. If we can really call it that! (￣ε(#￣)Σ
You said it so kindly lol, I expected harsher when holding his hand haha!
lol I don’t think Dan can handle any more harshness right now so I had to be nice about it ╮(￣▽￣)╭
