My brother didn't know he was hurting others. He tried acting straight. He was sometimes a a$$hole. But with his boyfriend and me he was himself. Just like the beta was himself with the omega. Even though he didn't know it yet. My brother committed suicide at 16 last year. He just snapped like this beta. I'm glad that beta was saved and given a second chance. He wasn't selfish. He wanted to be accepted. He was close to suicide. To want to be loved accepted isn't selfish. Someone can be blind to the goodness in life. It taken a low point and his love gave him a second chance. I wish someone looked for my brother I tried. I did find him. After he taken some sleeping pills and wouldn't wake-up. He was a wonderful outgoing biu brother. He'll forever be missed. He used to take me to the park. I'd hangout with him and his boyfriend. The rare moments whenever he was himself. I remembered. Maybe instead of assuming someone's selfish. Maybe just maybe take their hand. Let em be a little bit selfish. If it means saving a life.
First of all, I'm really sorry for your loss.
I can't even imagine what you're going through and I think it's really great that you remember him as a good brother.
However... Manga and real life are different things.
Just because I didn't like the character doesn't mean I can't feel simpathy torwards a real human being.
The beta didn't leave a good impression on me, but that can be just because of the plot, or the author's writing style. 'Cause I've read other manga with similar semes and I loved them. It just so happens that in this particular case I wasn't drawn to the character.
I'm usually OK with everything in manga because this isn't the real world, as long as I get my happy ending I'm pleased.
But not in this case... Shichiku is just a piece of shit. He doesn't care about hurting others, in fact he needs to do that to feel better about himself. I couldn't feel any bit of sympathy towards him.
And Nagisa... I get that most people find him cute, but I also didn't like him. He was willing to be with Shichiku knowing he had someone else. He didn't think that he could also be hurting other people. And to get beaten up and still like that asshole... C'mon!
The first story is cute though.
