Not all of them helpful.
But there's some that context and explanation really helpful. Like the "mechiru/methyl" thing. I wouldn't understand if there's no context given.
This manga clearly shows the reality of it. I don't know if I can use "broken family" to label Rintarou's family. To called this below poverty line family as broken, just insinuating that the only way a family is healthy is when they're wealthy. And that is kinda... pessimistic way to view this beautiful family.
Yes, the way Rintarou's father done things is a bit "not good", but view them as his being "abusive" is just wrong. He only knows how to be a fisherman, live day by day with uncertainty about money. Of course when Rintarou needs that much money, it burdens him as the only one breadwinner in that house.
There is many, many things we need to consider when we talk about poverty. And stamp the family that experience that and their choice around their reality as "bad" or "good" is erasing nuance around poverty
I think this manga capture a sliver of that reality beautifully, without dehumanize, vilify the choice they make.
I agree to some extent but the behavior of the father still has a lot to be improved (and criticize) on, seeing how much weight a bit of compliment from the father has to the protagonist has me thinking of the pain they still have from their relationships
I WILL WAIT FOR THIS TO BE FINISHED.
Because the cliffhanger is break my heart over and over.
Meant to upvote.
Makes me sad and angry at the same time..
That the reason of his pathetic past life is because he reject some girl from powerful background is just.... Pathetic. But so real at the same time.
It's kinda mirroring our real world and that just makes me soooo angry, honestly.
With that small, unimportant reason, someone's life can be easily thrown away is just... Painful. But that is reality.
That reason makes me cheer Hyunsung more in his revenge, ngl..
His former situation is like the one of that Japanese schoolgirl ( I forgot her name) who ended being tortured and murdered because she rejected some thug
What even the purpose of introducing that girl? Not only weak, she seemingly doesn't have any will to fighting and become a killer.
sure wish this doesn't turn into romance type of sht
maybe romance aside, to show Peter's humanity and how he's dif from other ppl raised in that organization(?)---although that can easily be done through the two brothers as seen in the last scene TT
Lol at least she knows she’s weak and trying to improve herself. Waiting for a bit before labeling her as just annoying lol
agreed
What annoys me so much is there's no panel where she actively trying to do something. Everything happened to her because she just magically there at the right time.
She just too passive for this type of story.
I think it’s just the beginning of her story of growth. It might take a bit since we’re at the part where it’s showing off how cool and op the mc is. She hasn’t done anything outright annoying yet(like get in mc’s way because she thinks she’s better or some shit like a ton of other girl characters that just bulldozes what mc wants to do) so I’m trying to give the benefit of the doubt.
But, if she starts blushing around the mc and expects him to save her every arc, that’s when I label her as annoying lol
I love this trope so much.
We need more sugar in our bitter life~
