God DAMN, the art for this manga is so fine. Just so fucking gorgeous. We really don't get dramatic and detailed panels like this in shoujo anymore.
I've actually always wanted a story to do this: actually showing the bad events playing out before rewinding time. Flashbacks just don't hit the same, especially in the very beginning of a story. This felt just so much more meaningful because it wasn't immediately obvious (until the end of the third chapter) that time would rewind, so I actually felt bad about all the shitty things that happened instead of waving them away because I knew time would rewind and everything would turn out fine. It only lasted 3 chapters, but I am grateful nonetheless.
This is by far one of my favorite BL manga, and I am so happy to have finally been able to read a translation of the final volume. I'm definitely purchasing the whole series.
My favorite BL ever finally getting a 4th volume translation??? YES! Thank the gods!!! And thank you, translators!!!!!! I'm so pumped!!
I think(?) I like that the sin of sloth is manifesting as depression, but I'm not entirely sure. It's interesting, because I don't think I've ever seen it portrayed that way, but I also don't think it's a great idea to portray mental illness as a sin. Maybe the true sin of sloth will be revealed as the inaction of those in power to actually support the boy in a meaningful way? We'll have to wait and see.
i believe bel is taking advantage of priest's existing depression to push him further into sloth, not that the depression itself is the sin of sloth. your idea about the inaction of those in power is really good!! i definitely think we'll be seeing that later this arc especially with bel's closing statement in this latest chapter!
So... Slen assaulted Toguto, right? Slen said he needed many partners, pushed Toguto down, Toguto said "stop," the panel faded to black, and Toguto says he hates Slen and will never forgive him for what he did that day. That's assault, right? Or is he talking about how he discovered on that day that Slen was being unfaithful? Either way, I'm much less supportive of them being in a relationship now. Give them both someone less toxic to be with.
I believe its both. Assaulting him and being unfaithful. Though I don't blame Slen for being that way because of Toguto's mindset. But yeah, I'm more supportive of Alta and Illeweth's relationship than theirs.
Slen truly loved him, but Toguto's words hurted him dearly. That's why he hated him & couldn't forgive him, how he only sees him as Another White Deer in a political point of view. So their friendship meant nothing to Toguto that time. Slen started to change, but still deep down wishes for him to notice him from who he was. But Toguto never changed his mindset. That's why Slen was seducing & sleeping around with every potential mates for Toguto (Is probably his way to Rebel against him). But even by doing that, won't change anything. So guess he snapped that time & assaulted him? (Though we couldn't really see, if it really was or perhaps he didn't continue. You never know he might have stopped & run away that time. Because Toguto has mentioned seeing Slen's angry face). Then Toguto woke up from reminiscing the past in his dream.
Thought about this the other day and came back to reread it. I agree the MC is frustrating, but I don't hold it against him. He's got trauma and his poor qualities are just manifestations of that trauma. It makes sense for him to act the way he does. What truly drives me nuts though, to the point that I want to punch a wall and tear my hair out, is the fact that the girlfriend forgave and took back that vile, cheating, pedo son of a bitch. Absolutely mind-boggling that she found that acceptable enough to begin dating him again and the fact that, as far as we know, he got his happy ending. Hate it. Burn him with fire.
Damn. I knew Cheneau had been stabbed but the author really did kill him off-screen. We sure are whittling down the amount of love interests Iana has. I wonder if we'll keep it at 3 or if someone else is gonna die next. We can only wait and see~
Well, this disappointed me. I've read a couple of "reincarnated with my abuser" stories, and by far this one is the least interesting. The MC puts up hardly any resistance. You'd think he'd freak out or scream or tell his family that he hates the ML and doesn't want to see him, but instead he just acts like a stray cat who's slightly wary but not particularly difficult to win over. Plus, the story absolutely rushed through their reunion. There was hardly any angst, hardly any sense of helplessness and defeat as the MC tried and failed to stay away from the ML. They met as kids in one chapter and were years-long friends who grew up together in the next. Very disappointing.
No literally it pisses me off how quick he is to just accept the guy
Ikr many manhwa author like black flag ML like this with zero redemption and half dim witted MC （/TДT)/
I feel like I'm getting whiplash. In Chapter 8, the MC goes from getting triggered so badly he punches the ML in the face to immediately letting the ML kiss him. And then in Chapter 9, they're literally getting each other off. Is he supposed to hate this guy or not?
New favorite character is officially the friend who immediately decided to get herself a man even better than the wealthy and handsome love interest, and has secretly spent the whole story finding and wooing the crown prince of another country. Where is her web novel? Because I need to read it.
This…RIGHT HERE
Extremely highkey need her story rn
