read this a year ago but was unable to leave a comment back then bcs i fell down into a deep rabbit hole on wth is this all about.
i had my mouth open the whole time i was reading this. just when i thought it couldn't get any worse, it fucking does. all that trauma, addiction, and undiagnosed mental health conditions really caught up to him and made him make the worst decisions imaginable. i had so many questions even after reading until the end, so i did my research and some things finally made sense.
#1. this manga was adapted from a novel by osamu dazai. this is the last novel he wrote before unaliving himself with this lover in an aqueduct, uncannily similar to what yozo did (except yozo lived bcs he hallucinated)
#2. they say this is dazai's semi-autobiography, so yozo's thoughts and experiences were probably actually his
#3. yozo/dazai may have had autism, but we don't know for sure bcs he's dead, undiagnosed, and these things were quite unknown during the time it was written (it was written in 1940s)
so yeah, i hope it helped yall understand yozo's character. he's not just a dick or a coward just bcs he wanted to, he had been through many traumas and a probable neurological and developmental disorder. his brain is literally built different (⊙…⊙ )

yeo nan may seem confusing but besides communication, i think he also needs space. dal guk gave him a lot of time but he's still confused bcs dal guk kept clinging and pushing his boundaries (it's obvious that yeo nan is not ready for some things). yeo nan's childhood shows he isn't used to affection but loves dal guk, hence the push and pull.
they need to be apart for a while so that yeo nan can self-reflect and realize that he's worthy of love while dal guk needs to just let him come to him on his own when he's finally ready.

yall have been so used to unnecessary chasing and toxic plots that u can't appreciate this masterpiece. u just love manhwas that literally have nothing going on with them except going in circles and having SEVERE misunderstandings that u call these stories boring and ugly. those stories just speak w/ their dicks and not w/ their mouths bcs they cannot communicate like they're not actual civilized ppl. at least yubin and ginu were just horny dorks.
wake tf up and touch sum grass.

i'm usually not the type to mind love interests but it's so annoying here. how many times does mc have to sacrifice himself and not mind his family who worries for him just to save tessia? he drops everything at the sight of her being in slightest danger, and his growth became quite stagnant since reuniting w/ her.
while there were a lot of problems and incidents that need to investigated, he just kept helping tessia in assimilating the beast will (which just betrays them afaik so wtf even is the point). i just don't get the damn logic in establishing he's strong and calculated then his emotions take over once tessia is involved (not even thinking abt other ppl and his family smh). i can't remember why i dropped this in the past so i read it again and now i fucking remember why lol

righttttttt. it would've made more sense if he's just fond of her in a little sister way given his mental age. bro is a certified lover boy, certified--
girl was a damsel in distress right from the moment they met too. i thought she was supposed to be smart and strong bcs she's literally the heir of elves, but nah she's a walking disaster.
i can take them all and not in a fight ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
they don't want you gang
