It was either slowly lose cognitive and physical function while ML's mom focused on caring for her dying partner, going through surgery but still requiring constant medical assistance (possibly for life), or dying right after surgery due to complications. She must've noticed something was up, but she never fully knew and she probably didn't even know she was pregnant either before he left.
So both of them lost out on a life together because he didn't want her to be burdened with taking care of him until his death, making it harder for her to accomplish her goals. However, in the end he still lost time and connection because he lost his memories that weren't brought back until he saw the drama. They could never see each other again, and ironically the one who died was not the one with the terminal illness.
Perhaps it would have been better for him to stay, but like he said, he did what he thought was best and all he wants is to see her one last time.
Ok, so I am confused about Tarju and how anything works. First, I found 2 posts referring to Tarju and the black tiger (possibly named Tali or Tari or smt like that). The first one does says the black tiger is male. The second one says Tarju is based of a real species of tiger and is bigger than the average female. Thus, it can be concluded that Tarju is female and the black tiger is male. BUT, the second part of this is that I dug through the author's twt, and many of the readers (Japanese and non Japanese) refer to Tarju as male. The official translation for the manga also refers to Tarju as male, and this is weird because either a) no one bothered to check with the author on how to refer to Tarju [if it is ambiguous, as a translator you would want to double check or not use an actual pronoun] or b)the author changed their mind[??????], because there is a third post where the author directly states that they told the translation team for the English version to use "I love you" in the conversation btw Ilya and his father. This signals that there is some level of communication btw the author and the translator(s), but then Tarju is still referred as male. You could either say this is a mistranslation or the author changed their mind (the author has done it before, as you can see the difference btw the first uploads and the 2nd official translation uploads). I'll try to dig more, because I am confused a little bit.
One question, isnt this a fan translation? So whatever confusion you have between the translators and author would be on the official translation not here in this pirate site
They uploaded the official translation on here. It's separated into its own page, but look at the other works by the author and it should be there.
Oohh I didnt know that
Tarju is male, the other tiger is female. Also, they have five kids, their eldest, the twins (girl and boy), and two others (one is male and the other female, but they aren't twins).
5? Where did you saw it? I only count 3 kids and 3 tiger cubs. And translations referred to the Black Tiger as male. Confused
Well there are chapters translated in French on bato and it's shown there, also I think Tharju is a female because that's what is shown as soon it's not been confirmed yet as the translation is in French
Same
In the official translations (you can find them on here) and on the unofficial translations (chapter 2) we are told that Tarju is male. It's assumed then that they were saying "Is the tiger male?" In confusion because they can't actually tell (didn't have time to check earlier lol), they might of thought the other tiger smelled Tarju and wanted to fight or smt. Turns out though, the other tiger just wanted to get close to Tarju.
As for the five kids, that's revealed in the extra chapters. You don't really get to see them well, all you get is a family tree. And no, I don't have the raws right now. You might find them on Facebook though.
Thanks. I always thought Tharju is male. But then black Tiger shows up and they have kids (￣∇￣") For a second I thought since it's Omegaverse, does it count for Tigers too? LOL. But yeah Tharju might actually be female
Nice. They sure worked hard and fast then LOL. To bad they didn't show us the process of each of them.
And about Tharyu, it might be a mistranslation then. Because Japanese is known for their genderless ways of speaking. And besides female tigers should be smaller than males. That black Tiger is so big.
Seems, there will be an extra chapter
I am inclined to disagree because eventually they would have to refer to Tarju as either male or female, and even the official translations use male throughout the whole thing. The black tiger may be big, but the author may just have not known that females are smaller. The author even revised some of the story for the official chapters and they all say male for Tarju.
No, the black Tiger is definitely male. I checked the Author's X post just now and found the post that that big tiger is male.
I made another post about it, but yeah seems the other tiger is male.
Here's the post I saw BTW: https://x.com/tsuyuhisafumi/status/1859818667036508296
I noticed they started using their first names, aaaahhhhhhhhh, so cute!
Surprisingly this is the only manga where I don't get put off by the idea of one of the characters being an AV actor during the relationship. I think it's mostly cause Natori himself is not entirely insecure or worried about it, but Seo is also entirely professional about it too. I hope they stay together, cause they're a good and lovey-dovey couple.
I like that they also don't harp on it too much, probably bc of what you've alr said, but it means we don't have to constantly see him having sex with other people for his work like I think some other mangas would do for the fanservice or to create the perception of tension before the lead up to more drama. I mean they did have that issue with it once but it's kinda necessary to establish the ground rules and ig couldn't just be ignored completely, but i like they've left it alone now and not dragged it out for the vibes
It's already finished there. However, the author's patreon was closed without warning, so the side stories are on hold for now.
If you liked this story, I suggest you do not read the sequel. It is the story of Yullur and Saya, which doesn't go over very well. Like even if you ignore the age gap or don't necessarily care for Yullur having watched Saya grow up, it's just not that well-written either. It's one of the worst stories by the author.
Personally, I thought that Saya was going to have a one-sided crush and he was going to meet someone else once Yullur went off to his adventures (like a growing up story about letting go and embracing new things). And it just hits you like a bus when it turns out Yullur does like Saya (a literal copy of his mother, who Yullur used to like btw). I'm usually not too worried about problematic topics or couples in fiction, but because you have the context of the original story, the characters and story are ruined. Yullur is a sweet and cool character here, but the sequel makes him out to be like some creepy uncle waiting for a girl to turn 18 to chase them.
I figure it's related to brain function, so something like a tumor. And brain cancer is very difficult to treat, I think most ppl die of it depending on the type. And if he was considered terminal, it could have been a very aggressive type. My assumption is that either his family had him go back for treatment or ML's mom convinced him to go back for treatment. She seems like someone who would put others first and if it's someone she loves, she'll definitely make sacrifices for them. But the dad doesn't seem like the careless or selfish type, so I think he didn't know they were going to have a son (otherwise, it seems to me like he would be the type to be stubborn and refuse to leave until his son was born). I could be wrong, but man terminal diseases are a bitch.
Super short and you get breadcrumbs at best.
Leon is trying to get to the cave exit but Beryl is in the way. Beryl what's to know if Leon really abandoned him. Leon figures that Beryl is just dumb enough that he can try seduction again. Beryl is not affected as much, and he asks why Leon keeps running away. However, Leon asks him if instead of staying, the two could run away together. Beryl says Nergal will catch up fast and that he just wants to be around Leon to protect him. Leon immediately tells Beryl that he doesn't want to protect Leon, he just wants to fuck him like everyone else. End of chapter.
I keep saying that the dad is not some evil guy. He seems too honest to be hiding some evil intentions.
I think most of us here cant come to terms with the fact that he left his family. We're waiting for a very reasonable explanation that could have caused him to leave and never come back.
*never come back until now
Valid opinion, I just personally think everyone jumped to conclusions super fast before we even got to know the reason of why he left to begin with. Some had even made up their mind already that he was going to try to separate ML and MC without proof. This happened with not just the dad but with every new character. The elderly man who gave his daughter up for adoption wasn't inherently evil for his actions, he had been desperate and reckless but not some cartoon villain. The girl with the emotional issues was immediately villainized too because she said something reckless, but it wasn't that she was this maniacal young adult. She was just lost and hurt, and she lashed out at the wrong people even if she is still stubborn about things. When the dad was introduced I saw ppl wishing he would die and he hadn't even spoken yet! As the story tells us, things aren't black and white, and while we can hurt people, it doesn't make us evil and we can always try to start over if we are given the chance to make changes or to ask for forgiveness. And the more we see of the father, the more open-minded I became because he doesn't appear to be some evil man with a secret agenda that will destroy the village. Maybe he didn't have an entirely valid reason to leave, but we didn't have a single clue as to why before this chapter and my stance was to see what he had to say first. Villainizing him only makes it easier to create a barrier and set up too high expectations on why he left. It entirely possibly he didn't even know he had a son as well. But I do agree on waiting to hear the dad out first.
This is something I wrote early on about the series, and I just hope the author doesn't make Hyesung the bad guy and force him to reconcile. If there's no actual discussion and resolution, it's just going to make the rest of the story hard to read. I already dislike the story direction with the cousin and the other girl (I don't like the pairing at all), having such a major plot point fumbled will bring down everything else.
The staying in contact with Hyesung's mom problem. Like I get she escaped an abusive relationship but she had years to contact her son. By the start of the story Hyesung is an adult, so it's not like she HAD to have the father's permission to see him after a while. Also, hypothetically, if she had the opportunity to actually see her son earlier, would she have still kept him a secret? She didn't tell her new family about him even after trying to meet him, so would she have still kept him a secret from her family even if she could see him as a child? I don't like the mom, and I didn't feel sad that her new family left her, like she abandoned her son once, would she also dip out on them if the tides turned? So that whole bit just left a sour taste in my mouth, and unless it becomes an actual storyline with Hyesung being angry at his spouse and child, it'll just be a shitty thing to force someone to accept. What're they gonna do next, secretly take the new baby to see the mom when Hyesung cut her off for valid reasons? For Hyesung to reconcile with a woman who abandoned him and only showed back up when it was convenient for her?
