Great job! Gotta spread the word, we have to win
Kashima isn’t even boring. He’s one of the most emotionally layered characters in the manga:
-he hides insecurity under composure
-he’s possessive but restrains himself
-he notices Toono deeply
and he tries to love without controlling.
That’s why many of us get protective of him. He feels painfully realistic compared to the more chaotic chemistry-driven dynamics.
A lot of romance stories mistake “drama” for “depth,” so the stable caring character gets sidelined because they don’t create constant conflict. But many Kashima fans actually find him more compelling because he acts mature while still hurting underneath.
So if the manga ends with him once again stepping aside “for Toono’s happiness,” a huge part of the fandom is probably going to feel devastated rather than satisfied and I am definitely one of them.
1) Joseph loves in a selfless, steady way.
He chooses Ian’s happiness—even when it excludes him. That’s not weakness, that’s emotional maturity. If he stayed, he’d constantly be in a position where he’s giving more than he’s receiving.
2) Ian never loved him the same way back.
And that imbalance matters. A relationship where one person is “chosen second” (even silently) slowly eats them alive. Joseph deserves to be someone’s first instinct, not their “safe place when things are hard.”
3) Joseph would’ve lost himself trying to stay.
You all saw how much he was willing to endure. If he kept holding on, his love would turn into quiet suffering—and that’s the opposite of what his character stands for.
4) Letting go was his strongest moment.
That wasn’t a loss—that was growth. He chose dignity over desperation. He respected Ian’s choice and respected himself enough not to beg for a place in someone’s heart.
And the hardest truth? Jo's love was real—but it wasn’t reciprocated in the same depth. Staying would’ve diminished him. Leaving preserved him.
So yeah… it hurts. But this ending doesn’t make Joseph “less than.” It proves he’s the kind of person who deserves a love that chooses him without hesitation.
Let's hope author is kind enough to make a healthy sequel for Jo.
So true!!!
I think the manhua is kind of discontinued or something. But they wanted to show some of the important/spicy scenes in the novel, that's why it feels choppy. Like you skipped alot of chapters in between.
I'm still happy though. At least we get to see these smexy and uncensored bl manhua scenes
The 2nd chapter 20 is chapter 23
ty cause i was confused asf
