yo did anybody else read the novel? spoilers for the upcoming arc:
i only read the next few chapters cuz i got impatient so correct me if this gets redeemed or addressed later on— but is anybody else pissed that kei is so casual about cheating on ushio???? like yea he didn’t fully go through with it but he legit considered it and deadass was about to do it. like hey?! emotional cheating is a real thing! and it’s crazy that it gets brushed over.
kind of ruined it for me and makes me disappointed in him. but i’m hoping that they change this in the manga or clarify it more so he’s not deadass just lowkey accepting a proposal to cheat. i mean they also adapted it so it’s a lottt less rapey/dub con in the manga than in the novel and movie so i think there’s high hopes for another good alteration like that
Ew What. If thats true I really really hope they change that too... that's so lame, and it was so good too...（￣へ￣）
Whatttt whyyyy can you explain???
Honestly as shitty as it is I kind of respect including it in the story.
I thought the way Ushio punished him for it was hilarious too.
Kei is a shitty, flawed, selsfish brat, and him almost cheating like that just reinforces it way more, cheating is the big bad thing in relationships right? Kei you sinful boy… he is weak to temptation ideed… i can totally see it happening even if I hadn’t read the novel.
spoilers:
tatsuki proposes a love affair to kei and gets reallll close at his house while ushio is away. kei doesn’t go through with it in the end and pushes tatsuki away last second + ushio barges in to ‘punish him’ but bro was rlllly considering that affair for a hot minute (“he almost began to wonder if it might not be an entirely terrible idea.”), which gets acknowledged by all three of them.
(“‘I tried to seduce Kuniedsan, and he seemed like he was considering it a little.’
He was far too truthful.
‘Damn you, Minagawa—‘“)
maybe i’m being super overdramatic LOL; cuz to me cheating is unacceptable. but i’ll just save any negative thoughts until after the manga adapts it since it’s been rlly good at changing things so far. i also do agree it does well in highlighting kei as his selfish, flawed character but i can’t help but be disappointed in him yknow lmao
this is exactly why i particularly hate this section of the first volume and never read it when i reread the whole series. i think kei is redeemed with his actions in the other volumes but yeah… i really hate it
I think their relationship is a bit all over the place anyway in the novel, I was hoping it would be refined a bit more in the manga but it’s very slim chance
I collected every volume so i know what you're talking about. The mc is made to be shitty in the beginning. Too tsun for my usual taste too. But the later part is good so i think he redeemed himself in my mind (my most hated part is the amnesiac arc like i know why it exist but ughhhhh its painful to read)
i personally really liked kei until i read this he’s “flawed” sure but not in a way he hurts the people around him, he just has a bit of an attitude that he doesn’t even show to anyone, but to think he’d consider cheating is just feels so out of character because he loves ushio so much and treated him as so precious :( also the romance is just lack luster and dead if the characters would consider cheating on the other like im not interested if they ain’t obsessed with eachother. ahhh this was so disappointing to read
ugh now i feel like dropping this
Noooooo
I really really liked this manga and this sucks, it's not like they were ambiguous about their relationship for him to have doubts, they are dating ffs .
This is especially crushing after the last extra were he says that Ushio is his safe place
That's it, I won't read this anymore lol, I'll convince my head the manga has just one volumen and some extra chapters.
in the mood for a good shounen action manhwa with a MC who is in a suspiciously close relationship with another male MC, aka i want to be tormented with never ending queerbaiting.
i fucking love S-Classes That I Raised and want something on that level. or like ORV. i already read the most popular ones, like if there’s a load of ship fanart and fanfic, i’ve probs already seen it (debut or die, TCF, etc.) so i’m hoping for lesser known or newer recs. TYSM!!
Any BL where one of them “dies” but not really. The other ML thinks that they died but they’re actually somehow still alive (faking death, reincarnation/body swap, magic, etc.). Already read mxtx, and the reincarnation stories like At the End of the Road, Kill the Lights, For You Who Grieves.
Looking for similar ones! I just like the grieving, pining, and angst elements. Thanks :)
