its hard to sympathise with a pedophile no matter how sad their backstory is
he's also a murderer, manipulator, sex trafficker (?) and a weirdo in general. but so is makoto. and when you think about it, he also takes in a kid off the streets later and does who knows what to them (probably the same things J did to him). they're all devils, you can't apply laws of the human world to them, in my opinion.
valid lol, i guess people root for the main character more in general. i hate them both though, theyre really demons
idk why yall feel sorry for makoto. like i hate the guy (even tho he was impressive). but i actually feel sorry for jonathan. cuz idk, his backstory feels much more sad and i feel like he wasn't as cruel from the start as makoto was. he didn't really want to destroy wald? i think? but idk, even tho i love this manga it's still a bit confusing and will stay in my mind for a long time as i try to understand everything.
also datenshou didn't deserve all that, poor shroom. love fjord, too. i hope he lives for a long time
