i’m actually still a sucker for charjin (charin x jin if that wasn’t obvious) and because tehir looks so much like charin i find jin x tehir more visually appealing… though i would want them to work together genuinely and not have something that seems reboundish. okay fine i admit i probably would still fuck with that too because it would mean charin is still relevant and impactful to jin and his choices and i just can’t let them go…
anyway i think jin and garon could make a fun pair but i can’t see them getting far romantically just yet. but i am staying tuned for the future seasons. i reread this shit over and over because i just adore charjin lol but given what i’ve seen on author’s socials and my expertise honed from yaoimaxxing, unless kimoto just gets absolutely fucked over and dies alone, i predict the ending pairs will likely be garon x jin and tehir x kimoto. since the story is about all four of them, and if every person pairs up, this is literally the only way i see it happening realistically speaking with my own hopes out of the way.
buuuutttt if things happen to go my way(charin revives, remembers jin, falls in love all over again, they find each other and live happily ever after) then i guess garon will never get to breed genetically superior babies, tehir will likely be miserable and hateful for the rest of his life or maybe get over whatever happened with jin, and kimoto could also either be miserable because of unrequited love or he could get over tehir and live life. honestly in my ideal ending everyone could be miserable for all i care as long as i get charjin back and that snake bitch dies. oh and i hope aa-el and rim are doing well no matter what happens. i love them lots and hope we see more of them!
ahem… sorry for getting carried away i just really love this manhwa and, more specifically, charjin.
I feel you in your adoration for charjin. I loved them as characters, loved their story and loved the complicated feelings they haboured for eachother. Out of any other romantic coupling I would definitely want more of and for them. A problem I find with myself as well is if Jin fell in love with someone else, would I care as much or even more for that romance like I did with Charjin. I wonder than what the author would do because Charin was definitely important to Jin that I'm curious if it will affect his dynamic/story with his future lover. That's why I initially thought it would be Jin x Tehir because I thought that with Tehir and Charin looking similar, the narrative is connecting them in some way, but I don't know if it's just my wishful Charjin heart talking.
I honestly can't get behind seeing a romance come out from Jin x Garon. But like you said I think releastically through common yaoi nature, with the kinky dick and crack dynamic (this is not what you said I'm just agreeing with the realistic part so sorry if it seems I'm quoting your words in bad faith) I think they might end up being something. I'm not fond of it but I leave it as it is because right now, I'm honestly rooting for Tehir x Kimoto. I find Kimoto a very compelling character because of his unrequited love and the author's character description of him having parasites in his neck that he doesn't know when they'll begin their metamorphosis. Therefore I want him to succeed in his pinning cause he might die from those parasites! And it also looks like he's really trying his best for his unrequitted love (I think).
And I love your third paragraph, it's so mood. Everyone else can be miserable as long as Charjin can happen lololol. I like the way you think . Thanks for sharing your thoughts and who your shipping. I loved hearing all about it.
waah thanks for actually reading it! glad to see you and nearly everyone else is still as stuck on charin/charjin as i am lol they still have not left my mind. but i am open to new things and to see how kimoto and tehir’s stories go. garon is fun but im gonna need some more story on him if author wants me to think he’s worthy of jin.
here’s to hope for charjin! or new flourishing relationships i guess… but mainly hope for charjin! ^_^
Yes! Here's to Charjin!!!!!!! My love for them will never die!! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Jin x NO ONE x THERAPY x A BETTER LIFE. esp that mf charin, i swear i'm gonna riot if they end up together
I'm on the same boat as you. Jin x Garon it is for me and tho not nearly now but they better properly fall in love.
I'm starting to see my flaws, when I first read this I thought it would end up being Jin x Tehir, but now as time goes on and I process things a bit more, I think it would end up being Tehir x Kimoto and Jin x Garon. I have to be real with myself honestly. Even though these ships are not the ships I initially gravitated to, I'm coming to realise the potential romances that could unfold between these couples. This is just a revisionary of my thoughts from season 1 after reading a lot of other people's thoughts online.
That aside I would like to hear what some people are shipping now and why they ship it? Just to see how some of the fandom are seeing the romance progression after the set up of season 1 and towards the release of season 2. (Please do say )
