Since I've seen all sorts of comments with no backing at all one what's shared, I'm writing this in hopes it helps someone confused:
1. In the original novel, Claudia's skin color DOES get lighter (I don't know if it was specified if she became 'white' or not, but that's how it seems to be). But there was a big backlash from the manga readers in Japan, so they decided to go back to darker skin. They actually reprinted it, but since it's illegal here we don't get that ╮(￣▽￣)╭
2. Claudia is currently 14-15, while prince Levi is 17 at most, THEY'RE BOTH CHILDREN or at least prince Levi is not a legal adult yet. I don't understand why ppl say their relationship is gross??? They're like 2 years apart, both around the same age-mindset, and practically grew up together as friends. They know each other, their families as well.
3. I'm 22 and I haven't kissed anyone but let me say it's NORMAL for ppl that age to have kissed already in the modern world, don't act like they're 'too young'. And because of the setting, we KNOW nothing will happen until they're married, which will probably be until Claudia becomes an adult as well. Ungrounded hate.
You're what i need right now ( TwT)
Thank you (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
AGREED. If you see a 15 and a 17 kiss and your first thought is “oh they’re gonna fuck” THEN YOU NEED HELP. ITS A KISS. I doubt there’s even tongue. Also my very best friend had her first kiss at 14 so it’s normal to have your first kiss around this age. I know some of y’all are virgins (like me) but their relationship is completely consensual while they’re similar ages/mindsets. So it is NOT gross and they are totally fine.
You're too sweet (▰˘◡˘▰)
I'm happy my rambling is appreciated, likewise!
I was honestly shocked when I read comments saying 'how gross, they're too young to fuck' which??? Who honestly thinks that because a couple kisses they have to fuck right away??? We're too accustomed to BL and it's worrying. I'm also displeased since they complain here but never do when it's a BL setting...
Consensual relationship, I'm sure it's dating with the intention of marriage, and considering their statuses it's OBVIOUS nothing will happen until they're officially married... not even when engaged. C'MON PPL!
This is the pure, innocent love that we barely have!!! Don't ruin it please（/TДT)/
IKR where they are rn it’s completely and totally taboo to even CONSIDER sex before marriage even if your ENGAGED in fact if you did you’d be shipped off to some nuns to be abandoned. SO NO they’re not gonna have sex but he has been her pillar of support from the very beginning. He has been the only person who’s shoulder she could cry on so if she wanna give him a lil Kiss kiss she should be able to. DAMN people ruin EVERYTHING. I just wanna read a wholesome manga and then some horny Motherfuckers wanna ruin it...
One of the few ML I like lately, from the beginning he never discriminated her and treated her sincerely. And as the years have gone by, they've gotten closer. Heck, what I'd do for such a pure romance like that!!! Indeed, ppl ruin everything Σ( ￣□￣||)
Exactly !!
Any BL with yandere characters like the seme from the first chapter? I'd like to read yandere plots but that rely more on the comedy and feel light rather than the usual heavy psychological plots??? Any??? ╥﹏╥

Apparently, the vision Shea's mother saw was predicting that Shea would come to love 2 people (Hajime and Yue) and they would also love her back. Meaning, more than being a "harem" at least between the three of them there's love. Is it really a polygamous relationship? Does Yue and Hajime come to LOVE Shea as they love each other??? Because there's been hints here and there that Yue DOES love Shea, specially in the anime. Just wondering because that would be so cool (▰˘◡˘▰)
yes, it will happen after sea of trees labyrinth, so after two arcs maybe
Oh damn thank you for replying! How exciting (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
It was such a beautiful chapter and I was so happy to know Dieter was married- only to then tell us he lost both his wife and child. I'm crying this is unfair, please let him be happy ╥﹏╥
I believe this one manga is a monthly release, should be at least, but recently the publication dates have been quite random? I'm following several raw websites and we can conclude that there haven't really been releases, just wondering what could be happening or if anything happened to the manga artist here :( hopefully it's just a long break!
Taehwan is by no means homophobic. I believe it's laying more on the 'internalized homophobia' side. He's afraid of the external consequences of being labeled and recognized for his sexuality, be it whatever it is (but not straight, of course). He's unable to face his own sexuality properly, be it due to his raising or the environment he's in.
I was someone with internalized homophobia as well, even though I've always been a big LGBT supporter and most of my friends are part of the community, it took me years before I could accept to myself I was not straight. That said, I also have a gay friend who's homophobic, and BOY, it IS a thing!
I praise this author because so far she's done an EXCELLENT delivery of these heavier topics, always have, so I expect great things from this couple ヾ(☆▽☆)
he either realised it in America or something happened related to gays happened in America
True i think so too, It's literally homophobia maybe in the past while he lives in America someone's sexual assault him by a guy. That's why his reaction like that when he knew Dojin and his younger brother have a relationship.
I believe that's why Yeonwu feels responsible (he shouldn't, but he does) about Taehwan. He mentioned before that something DID happen between the two, that was probably the trigger for Taehwan.
Either that OR something else happened before, then whatever happened with Yeonwu did, and Taehwan felt attacked and betrayed. We need more of their past history together to know for sure, and we barely know about Taehwan's past as well (￣ε(#￣)Σ
i think more people need to also consider that he's got serious trauma in his past that has skewed his ability to even think about his own sexuality in a meaningful way. he's clearly also got MASSIVE trust issues the cause of which we do not yet know (in the eng chpts) so like...its possible he's in denial but i think its more likely he's not even far enough to be in denial and has instead closed off an entire part of himself from trauma in his past that he's desperately trying to bury and not interact with. just like notice how he's totally okay wiht dojin and taehee's relationship whats everyone talks it out. he's very close with taehee, if he was worried about the icky gay rubbing off on him or his reputation then i think he wouldnt still be so close and adoring of his brother (esp after finding out his brother pursued dojin NOT the other way around). thats why i think its all alot more complicated than he is homophobic or internalizing homophobic bs against himself. will be interesting to see how people's perceptions of taehwan change in the upcoming chpts i guess. (cause i think having control and fearing vulnerability are a far bigger obstacle to his sexual identity than say possible being into guys as well as girls u know?). so im not disagreeing with ur general point just adding onto to it.
*I'm barely in chapter 40 atm, so I don't know if this changes in the remaining 9 chapters but hopefully not because I'd be extremely disappointed (though I've read the comments regarding kaori...)
I didn't mind harems as much before, since most isekai content has them I tried getting used to them. There are good harems, bad ones, and ones I honestly don't even mind. But I have to say, if we had more MCs like Hajime I wouldn't mind harems AT ALL.
A guy that gives his girl her proper place and importance? That makes it clear every single time a girl tries something that Yue is his only girl? That, when Yue told him his heart was only hers, he was sure of himself and didn't spend half of the story dwindling around his feelings???
Honestly, I'm thoroughly impressed. It's been quite a long time since I've seen an MC like him (I've read other good isekai alike, but the point is there are too few of them). I truly like him as a character, I don't mind the harem so far since it's all clear between them, and I hope for the best for them.
I dropped it when we didn't have an update for a year, I was religiously following this back then. I remember I stopped at chapter 29 and I come back after years and it's barely at 40 although that's something.
Re-reading it now, I can grasp the situations and nuances much better, so I only want to say how good it is at exploring the characters' personalities but it's so dumb at the same time at times. I like that balance since it feels like an ongoing drama with no breaks whatsoever! Why the heck is this heavy, constant atmosphere?!
I also don't know how I feel in general about it, no crimes have been committed as Haru is waiting for Ren to grow up, but he's still a minor so it bothers me (like, kisses and fingers since it's happened, but at the same time he's practically grown-up now? He's nearly 18 ahhh). But the way the characters in their surroundings seem to have accepted that, eventually, they'll be an official couple while looking over them... feels good. I'm sure if anything were to happen, as it has, they're there to make sure Ren is happy and safe (since he's the minor here).
Mixed feelings but it's good, I really wanted to express this ambiguousness, although it feels like rambling hehe. Let's rewatch the anime!
