Not to excuse Sehan, but there's no way his mom isn't/wasn't controlling and abusive. And she should've faced consequences for attacking a literal kid. I hope she gets confronted at some point
Thiss.
REAL!! Like that's harassment/assault/iddunowhattocallitbutitsacrime! That was a minor and not her child at that
Why are y'all calling her a "bitch" when she's an honest-to-god ex-turned-friend who is now in a happy relationship with another guy?? Yes she's going to interfere with the date, but not because she's a love rival but because Jaehyuk and Garam are gonna get outed. But there's no reason anybody should be calling her a "bitch" right now
I think that the theory that Kabuto is in a coma has some real weight to it and isn't just hopium, for one major reason: The other students don't know that Kabuto is "dead." If a student at your school not only died but was MURDERED, which is what the first few pages of ch1 suggest happened to Kabuto (notice the metal pipe), there is no way you wouldn't hear about that. At the very least, it would be announced at school, if it wasn't all over the news—which it would be, because Japan has one of the lowest homicide rates in the world. But it WOULD make sense for people to not know what happened to Kabuto if he was alive in the hospital, because that's confidential medical information. Thanks for coming to my Tedtalk lol
Fr I want him before being alive so bad pls be in coma kabuto
Him to be alive**
not to mention, there would be a grave somewhere right? him being in a coma makes so much sense
I really hope you are right, but also what if his death was not an accident but because he was bullied. That the school cover up his death ToT
So we know about truck-kun but I think Tsubaki will survive. The story has already established that his body is crazy tough. But he'll end up in the hospital for sure. Also, there's an author's note in one of the extras that says there will be a happy ending, so this is what I think (or maybe just hope?) will happen:
1) Tsubaki is in the hospital, possibly in a coma
2) This leads to the discovery that Kabuto was never dead but in a coma
3) They both wake up and make out
I think y'all are forgetting that Skylar doesn't know what we as the audience know. He did say some unnecessarily mean things to Cirrus, which wasn't great on his part, but there's no reason for him to just trust that Cirrus's feelings are sincere. Cirrus has lied to him a lot, and it's unreasonable to expect him to just forget about that.
if y'all want literary fiction, go read dostoevsky or hemingway. this is just a cute, dumb, generally unproblematic little story. stop taking it and yourselves so seriously
I think it's interesting that "getting outed" storylines are becoming so much more common in BL manga/manhwa. Like I think it shows some progress in the genre, where it's shifting from voyeuristic stories for (primarily) women to actual queer fiction

omg no

u use to read the Korean ones?
Where do you read the korean chaptee?
Okay history lesson because y'all don't seem to know what "Old English" is:
1. Old English was a completely different language from Modern English, with grammatical gender, the "ch" sound like in Scottish "loch," and a bajillion noun declensions. OE was spoken in Britain until the Norman Conquest in 1066, at which point French became the dominant language on the island.
2. English as a language almost goes extinct after 1066 but was revived and reconstructed as what we now call Middle English. A bunch of French (and other foreign) words flooded the lexicon and most native English words were lost. English also lost grammatical gender and almost all of the noun declensions except the possessive -s. Spelling wasn't standardized, so if you read, like, Chaucer, you might see him spell the same word 2 different ways in the same stanza. Also the printing press is invented and English kings patronize English poets like Chaucer. The "y" in "Ye Olde Shoppe" is actually a runic letter called a thorn, and it's pronounced as "th."
3. Around 1500 (the Renaissance in England), Modern English emerges. Shakespeare spoke Early Modern English, and he wasn't the only person innovating with the language, but he was definitely the most influential. English translations of the Bible like the King James Version introduce a lot of idioms we still use today. Thou/thee/thy are still being used as informal singular 2nd-person pronouns (informal meaning you wouldn't call your social superior "thou," you'd still call them "you"), but they basically fall out of use by the 1800s. "Ye" as the object form of "you" also disappears. The long, drawn-out sentences of prose literature (Ciceronian sentences) survive well into the 1800s.
All of this is to say... the translation of this manhwa does not use Old English. It doesn't even use Shakespearean/Early Modern English. It uses fully modern English with big words and archaic-sounding sentence structure. The American school system is tragic dude........
I should clarify that I know that most of this comment section probably isn't American. So that last sentence is directed at the Americans specifically
American here! I know how what Old English is and most American do as well. I don't get the obsession with Americans some Europeans have when they're school systems are no better
It could vary by state. I was born and raised in Alabama and (at least anecdotally) maybe 1 out of 5 people around here would know what Old English actually is
I don't live in Alabama so I can't say much about Alabama but where I live a good amount knows old English. Alabama also ranks 45th in Education in US rankings, so I don't think that's a good example when the US is #31 in rank.
