As "a romance in shonen genre" hater, it's a little shocking for myself that I was able to read through the latest chapters without feeling bothered the slightest bit. Don't get me wrong, I still hate harem genre or any romance in shonen, but this is the first time I felt unbothered (I think the second time actually...) despite the comments complaining about the potential romance. Is this character development for me? Maybe so.
The reason why I feel this way without any repercussions is probably because of Souji's personality and how he responds to these situations (as of now). Professional in a 'shonen main character' sense. Not bad. He doesn't actually overreact (Maybe because he's a little dense). And maybe it's also because my emotions are still struck by grief of our biggest loss, Azaki-sensei. So far so good... I really loved Azaki-sensei's panels. :(
To be honest, while reading the earlier chapters—I was trying to guess who the author would cross off the list as mangas like these would usually have a major character's death. I was guessing that Kutani would be the one to die—well my guess almost hit the mark because Kutani survived. Instead, it was Azaki-sensei. Well, it was inevitable due to how his character was brought up in the manga. It seems like that was the SECOND perfect ending for him (In my opinion) decided by the author. Because the true perfect ending would be that all ghost accounts and spectres completely eradicated as everyone survives while Azaki-sensei and all his students get to laugh and live happily ever after.
That's the perfect ending I want as a reader. But if I was the author, I'm sure I would have done the same thing just so that the readers can cry www
Atleast he got to relay his final messages well and was happy about the decision he made. :) <3
To be honest, I read Brutal first and found out that it was merely a prequel to Trace. I've read the raws. I think... I'm a little disappointed. I preferred Hiroki Dan over Mano as the one who gets the last laugh. It would've been great if things went with how Hiroki Dan wanted before retribution truly struck him. It would've been great if Mano was successfully broken and let his emotions cloud over his senses and pulled the trigger towards Hiroki Dan as he wanted. Unfortunately, his humanity remains and he moves on.
But I think I would've liked the ending more if Mano actually did shoot Hiroki Dan making him create a conflict where he will constantly be reminded of his actions and wonder if it was the right judgement to pass on. Will it truly be justice? Well, Hiroki Dan is truly a piece of shit and bastard with good looks and wealth. But then I really love his character. I just wanted to see Mano actually experience some helplessness and express his anguish more clearly. He's too nonchalant (Chalant in some areas). Well that's also another thing I really like about Mano's character. But like I said—it would've been nice to see Mano experience helplessness and have that cold unexpressive mask of his removed. (Yes, he does get expressive at the end—smiling even.) But I don't want that kind of expressiveness. I want expressiveness in another area. An ending with Mano being more expressive in despair of his actions by killing Hiroki Dan would have been a preferred ending for me.
The actual ending is of course pretty okay... Kinda. Well that's just my opinion. Glad he moved on. Maybe the author should do two endings. Mano's smile was cute at the end though. :fire_emoji:
Don't read. Starting chapter 60+, it becomes worse. The romance and harem make no sense. This manhwa is literally just the typical shonen manhwa where everything is set to be serving the male-centered fantasy. I can already imagine what kind of person the author is. Why is the rating still so high? Everyone else should also rate a 1 star.
It was a cute and wholesome read <3
I love how they both were finally honest to each other and became more open towards themselves as a couple.
Man, I hate romance in these types of manhwas.
Lowkey, tsunderes pmo too.
don’t worry he has no feeling towards her at all but guilt
This manhwa somehow brings comfort. It makes my tears well up from this beautiful masterpiece. I truly feel touched by their journey and Ygret's character that it made me wrote a personal poem. It gives the perfect solace to my heart. I hope I could find a similar manhwa to this.
whoever was that piece of shit that did all of this towards keith and the claes family should just die a painful death. im ready to get my hands dirty ^^ HOW DARE THEY RUIN MY SOURCE OF SEROTONIN FAMILY
