i assume he said that out of nowhere considering i dont know what kind of topic leads to him saying "i hate savages" but its so funny its like your coworker randomly saying "i hate homeless people because they have to fight and scavenge to survive instead of just living in a home"
Lmao it's exactly like that
goddddd please let there be a knox/eden/cherry polyamory relationship like i know this is a webtoon so it probably will never be... but goddd please
is this eeally 119? it feels like we're missing a chapter
I think the 118 was mislabeled! But 119 is correct.
i like how the duke really only cares about mehen when hes talking with him in this chapter, unless mehen himself asks about arelyn. its a terrible thing as a parent, but you have to remember that neither arelyn nor her father have been around each other a lot and it would have been uncomfortable for either of them to care about the other. their only connection point is literally mehen.
if this is a webtoon where bl is a fun side story i think i could die happy
i dont care abt the plot i need to know if mehen and the dad are in a homoerotic friendship
No matter how I see it I see two black male swans fostering children then stole lol
ririko was sleeping with the yakuza guy and touma a lot before she met sentarou. despite that, she was in love with the yakuza guy and got heartbroken when he left for dubai. so when she realized that sentarou was also in love with someone and got his heart broken (even though he never confessed in the first place), she decided to go out with him because he was more innocent and cared about her. from the beginning, when she got pregnant, she wanted sentarou to be the father even if he wasnt because she knew he would actually care about megaru.
i think involving touma into the equation was ririko's way of giving sentarou his happy ending, because she eventually realized that that touma was the one that sentarou was in love with. so even though she could have just said it was sentarous child (because he would've agreed to raising megaru regardless of if touma was there or not), she said it was either sentarou or touma's child to get them to spend time together, almost like shes apologizing for being a bad girlfriend and leaving him with a kid who obviously isnt his.
the yakuza guy is megaru's bio dad and also, ririko was probably not actually lying when she said megaru's dad was in dubai or something, because she knew the yakuza guy was the dad.
+ sentarou was never actually in love with ririko. he always liked touma more, but chose to go out with ririko because he knew he wouldn't have a chance with touma. the reason why he cares about her so much is because hes a naturally kind and selfless person unlike touma, so really had more of an affection/friendshio towards ririko than romantic feelings.
thank you for this, it had been a while since I read the story so I didnt quite get all the nuances on it
women always being the mastermind behind it all, love it. she predicted all this shit, said “aight” and proceeds to die
Thank you for this because I am legit seeing people still claiming Sentarou to be the dad just because of the “it is you” thing.
When it is heavily implied that Shouji was the dad hahha if not there is no point in him entering this story in the first place
im sobbign theyre funny as fuck theyre like equally stupid
is the plot weird as hell? yes. did i cry like a baby all the way to the end? also yes.
at first i thought this was going to be solely a murder mystery but after reading through it i took away some pretty significant themes.
tldr; i think the main theme of this manga was to demonstrate that you don't need to suffer to make art.
i saw someone earlier saying that they were a little disappointed with the fact that they didnt stick with the "you can't save everyone" theme, and that everyone got a happy ending, but i actually dont think that was ever the goal of the manga in the first place. i think the main story that the manga was trying to tell was "you dont need to suffer to make art". you don't need to be abused or groomed or a murderer to make good art. you don't have to lose everything to be a good artist.
this might seem weird to say but i dont think this is hinata's story, even if he is the catalyst for everything happening. i think its a story about sora and what happened to make him turn out the way he did, and how changing all of it didn't get rid of his talent as an artist. its about how his art was still beautiful and meaningful even if he didnt suffer. i see it as a commentary on the "starving artist trope" (see: all the artists who had committed suicide that sora was researching), and how its actually harmful to believe your suffering and pain was all for the purpose of making "better art", because it just causes you to seek out more pain and suffering to create more and more art. mr. hakuraku's role in the story is to show that. even if sora was still abused, if mr. hakuraku wasnt there to groom him into becoming obsessed with death and a "final masterpiece", sora might've turned out okay. not better, but okay.
by removing mr. hakuraku's own suffering, it proved that he didnt need to experience the death of his family to create something beautiful. we see at the end that he creates something hes proud of, and becomes a renowned artist. it was important that mr. hakuraku got this ending, because only by stopping the cycle of pain at the source could hinata ensure that sora didn't end up repeating that same cycle.
personally, as well, i like the ending, and i don't think it was rushed at all. everything paid off for me when i saw how sora's painting changed in the new timeline. it wasn't the same dark, misery-filled, painful painting that it was before, but it was still beautiful. sora no longer had to suffer to make good art, he just did.
this was kind of a long tangent and this is totally my own opinion. obviously, you can take from this manga whatever you want, but these were my thoughts.
