Will never get the fascination with yuki. This “dead wife trope” throughout the story ...

Frfr

wdym 'youll never get' he was literally mafuyus first love and the person he trauma bonded with who he thinks died bc of him most people would take WAY more than a few years to get over that

All of the things that you wrote is something I already know. It still doesn’t have to take the whole focus of the narrative throughout the story. There are many other aspects of main characters’ that didn’t get to be explored properly just because they are not as tragic. But I’m gonna give the benefit of doubt with the timeskip chapters, I wanna see how it goes :)

And I don’t get the fascination with yuki’s character is because he’s just a ‘memory’ and all we know about him is a romanticised version through the perspective of hiiragi and mafuyu. You guys can like him if u want but personally for me it’s not enough to get attached and mourn him.

i think thats what makes it interesting tbh. we never got to really bond with yuki bc from the very beginning he was introduced as the dead ex boyfriend, most people would probably feel differently about him if the manga started in an earlier timeline but the way the author portrays his symbolic immortality though his songs and his relationship with his loved ones is really beautiful

it also kinda had to take the whole narrative focus bc thats what the author planned to write from the very beginning, a story about a guy dealing with grief. he would be a completely different person without yuki. mafuyu's grief and guilt was the reason he started music and it was portrayed incredibly realistically, it makes sense that he wouldnt be able to easily move on. that means consistent writing not a poor one but i get why it would be flustrating for some people. lets hope te author focuses more on the other characters in the extras i rly wanna see ugetsu again

I’m still gonna stick with my own opinion about yuki but you do you.

And if it’s just a story about a guy dealing with grief, it doesn’t require Ueno and Mafuyu to be in a relationship. They could’ve been just friends. But since author decided to make them a couple she should dedicate more chapters focusing on their relationship too.

It is absolutely possible to centre the story about Mafuyu’s grief and regret about yuki while ALSO showing Ueno’s insecurities and challenges more in-depth but she just keeps dwelling too much on unnecessary side couples. And that’s why I’m saying I’ll see how it goes in timeskip and maybe I’ll change my opinion about this manga if it will be more Mafuyama and Given centered this time.

i mean i completely disagree but thats your opinion nothing i can do but respect it

Thanks for understanding

I totally got the same feeling. Its just empty idk

Omg glad someone gets me
