Tojo being increasingly genre aware and giving Hatano his MC fan service is very funny and cute. I hope Hatano and MC don’t end up together, because that’s his little brother’s friend, and it’s also funnier that way (to me). But also “sibling’s friend has a crush on the older sibling”is a pretty common trope so they probably will go for it. Adding in how much it’s being focused on in the latest chapters too. As long as it remains light hearted and funny it’ll be fine… I hope. I’m okay with age gap and maturity difference stuff but it sucks when it suddenly appears in an otherwise safe series, just tell the audience from the beginning (or hint at it at least) so they aren’t blindsided by taboo topics like age/ maturity gap and underage relationships. That’s just my thoughts on the subject tho.
I'm rooting for the mind reader guy lmao
Oh I almost forgot about him, that would be cute too
Me too! Age wise and considering hatano is still a highschooler its icky
Hell yeah, I love when the top/bottom expectations are subverted. I forgot about this one glad I re read this fucked up incest yakuza shit 10/10
I love this story so much but man the ending of the first chapter ruins it for me. It’s also out of nowhere and too cartoonish for the rest of the story. Just tone it down a bit and have the omega try to go further with the alpha but it stops earlier he didn’t need to tie him up??? The stalking too, it could’ve ended at a confrontation before rape happened, but that’s a common trope so I understand why it’s there but I don’t like it. I always come back to this manga it’s one of my favorite stories and probably my favorite omegaverse one. But it could be so much better.
As always I assume these themes of sexual assault and rape are included because it’s part of the author’s fetish or appeals to them in a revenge way. There’s plenty of manga, movies, shows etc. with rape scenes that could have been removed and not affect the story much. The story is kinda about the omega standing up for himself in a world where sexual assault and rape is definitely treated with a big helping of victim blaming. His mom and the alpha feel like they should have protected him better. But the point is even at a “lower” societal status he can still be happy as an omega.
He stands up for himself and tries to act more normal. Because of that people think his friendliness is flirting (afab and or female presenting people probably understand what that feels like). He takes control of that, he wants to live with the consequences of his actions because he doesn’t like being coddled.
The omega’s story arc is finding a balance between the “you should have known better” victim blaming and being completely stripped of his personal freedom. Like he said he just wanted his mom to say “you finally noticed?” He just wanted the alpha to ask if he was okay. He didn’t need their pity or protectiveness. Even with the alpha having thoughts of wanting to lock him up and keep him isolated at the end the omega just takes control of the situation.
This kind of story is difficult because it feels like victim blaming. It feels like the author is saying if you’re assaulted you just need to fight back, which is impossible in a lot of situations. But there is a nuance to it that I really relate to as a woman in society and more generally as a person.
An intimate armor removing scene to symbolize having a conversation on the same level, where some of the deepest secrets are confessed, all contained in a pair doomed by the narrative pair of childhood friends turned enemies????? HOMOEROTIC!
Don't get it wrong, it's not. In your opinion maybe it is, but no. For me, it's like their brotherly come back, supporting each other once again like in the past to bring Yona back, and there's no deep secrets at all. They're talking about what happened in the past, and Soo-won already knew that Hak knows about his secret. Soo-won confessing about how he really feel is like him being grateful that no matter what sins he did, bestfriends will always be bestfriends. Them talking without any hatred nor sadness just points out that they'll always be the friends they used to back then. (No hate, just stating my opinion.)
As a lesbian this really is not homoerotic is a brotherly bond and mutual trust that is being stripped down to its core, saying it’s gay and romantic takes away the impact of the scene and impact of men who love and respect each other in a non romantic sense
Absolutely, I was being a little silly and hyperbolic/ referencing a meme. I 100% understand what you mean
As a bisexual woman I agree, homoerotic is probably the wrong word I just gasped out loud when Hak took Su Won’s armor off especially since I kinda get queer vibes from Su Won, aromantic gay is my headcanon. 100% not intended to be romantic by the author, I just loved the symbolism of it!
The symbolism meaning the show of intimacy between them even though they’ve been estranged. But do imagine if this same scene was between Hak and Yona. Hak taking off Yona’s armor to symbolize him talking to her on a more personal level without their class status coming into play. That scene probably would be read as romantic, because it is a show of trust and a very intimate act. So it does not have to be romantic I was exaggerating that aspect.
Well put!
SCRAMIFNNCKSJDJCKDJDJFJDOXKSHSJXKCOSNSJX what she just wooshed into the chalice what. Hak??? Aaaaaaaaaa zeno… SCREAMS
