I must admit, originally I was rooting for Touma and Taichi to get together. As it progresses I started to realise there’s more to the story then just the romance we take at face value. Being a gay man I totally wanted their relationship to happen, but the story made me root for all of their happiness- even if it meant that they weren’t together. I saw that Taichi and Kuze were happy together and in love. And I was so happy to see that Touma was able to still be close with Taichi. I was satisfied with this. And then *kablang* “Me and futaba broke up” just WHATTT. I mean I can sort of understand that there was a lesson to be learnt in saying that it wasn’t going to work out and we should take it as it is. But what was all that build up for!?? Especially for Masumi to end up with a guy, could we not see what happened between her and Kuze? But I’m mainly annoyed with the fact that I was made to root for Kuze and Taichi despite shipping Touma and Taichi only for them to break up. o.O Buuut anyways, I’m sure the ending is to give some people a bit of satisfaction. Touma and Taichi are still together! :)
It’s undeniable that he’s gonna end up with Keith and there isn’t some other person he could end up with, of course there is Emma but they just wouldn’t lol. It honestly makes me so sad because Keith doesn’t deserve the uke at all and I hate when people lower their standards because the person who fucked you over said sorry. I might just drop if he’s doomed to end up with Keith...
I do like both couple, but really I am more interested in the original one. I don’t hate the other one with the green and purple dude but it’s disappointing when a chapter comes out and it’s just about them. I do applaud them for trying something slightly different to the typical ‘og couple first and then supporting characters love arc after main story is done’ but it’s traditional for a reason. It is really juicy with the main couple and this secondary one just feels like it reeks of wholesomeness and comic relief, despite their attempt to make it serious at times.
I think telling different stories at the same time can work but not in this kind of story or maybe the artist isn't skilled enough to do it well. The problem is that the genre of the main storyline is suspense and it really kills all the momentum when the story suddenly switches to the sub-couple. It adds to the confusion people already have with the DID storyline. Plus it's worst if you're reading this in real time (once a week a week vs reading it all at once). It's just too much for no reason lol
I think you hit the nail right on the head for me. It's why I've put this story onhold. The mc is already super interesting and fun to read about and whenever the story is about sc Ican't help but be taken out of the moment. When a mc story is already this suspensful the only way a sc's story would work is if it's directly tied to the MC's story and adds to it.
Yeah, they probably shouldve waited until later in the story when things begin to settle down to start actively working on the second couple. Maybe its a type of filler to prolong it but they just dont feel relevant rn, like one chapter im on the edge of my seat and then the next, im skimming the whole thing because its the second couple
I feel the same. I literally just skip the part with the second couple lol
