Cultural thing I guess. In my region, people easily using the i’ll kill you expression in conversation, without the intent to really kill ofc. I’ve seen the phrase is being used a lot in Japan and South Korea as well. In this manga, the phrase represent possessiveness, so I guess it could mean somewhat romantic.
Exactly. We here say that lightly
I really get the feeling that it is serious in this case.
As for other times, people say it all the time without actually meaning murder. So it just mimics reality.
i think they use it as slang....Japanese language really doesn't have much slang ╮(￣▽￣)╭...i heard they use phrases like 'die' or 'I'll kill you' to express their anger.
i think some ppl use such even lovingly in turkish. I've never used them, but there are ppl who do. Guess depends on region as well. Some cultures use it not to take it to heart
Its a figure of speech thingy in japan. P common and japanese ppl tend to say it lightly.
Well you’re filipino right? Bc you would know that even in the Philippines we take it lightly like we’d say “hahampasin kita” “masasaktan ko kita” “mapapatay kita” and etc...
I think it is not about culture. The reader has to read and understand the context in which the ‘ill kill you’ was used. For me, i think it was used here under the context of teasing or endearment. Like saying ‘promise me’ or ‘please’ in an indirectly or cute way. Haha. Whatever ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
For me, I think that when he said "I'll kill you", he meant to threaten him to not "Run Away"
why do authors take ''ill kill you'' sentence so lightly? seriously im curious
