so true, but also the teacher and student trope is just it still feels off but it's so damn common even in western media.
aside from the fact it's teacher and student, the characters and general plot were alright. i like that riichi acknowledged nonbinary people existing and that he has a generally forward thinking mindset.
the concept of having the ability to hear peoples' thoughts and having control over when is pretty well done here, n it addresses how you sorta would lose motivation and meaning in your life and sense of self over time because you're always bombarded with people's unspoken expectations and opinions. also i appreciate that the mc can actually stand up for himself
really glazed over how the man that ed saw as an older brother raped him, n ed blamed himself it's unfortunately realistic in that manner but dude faced like no consequences after it
also not a lot was addressed towards what creed did, i feel? or maybe i missed it. what i gathered was that he like misled or coerced ryan to film with him in some gross documentary of a gay serial rapist and that lead to ryan struggling a lot again maybe i missed where he was held truly accountable but still
i'm ngl, normally i would read some before making judgement but this entire manhwa just screams transphobia and cis-normativity. dude is still a dude with a vagina, and i'm not talking abt him being a "cuntboy" or wtv bc imo that term is just gross trans men are a thing, but ig this author never heard of them
