I can imagine the editor. "Oh boy the readers are going to get lit up with this chapter" Boy we sure did. Listen, is the blonde ML fucked up? yes. No doubt. I don't think he is a bad guy though. At least not yet. I get the backbone comment and honestly agree with it. The MC never faced the ML in the past, never talked the shit out and just left. The MC just needs to walk the fuck out and then would be enough backbone. The MC is a wish-washy MFer who can't face his feelings or preferences. "Can't you just use me... " Like WTF. Yes, he will if you let him. I don't even think this is what the ML is looking for though. If anything, they both need clarification and closure from their childhood ordeal. I don't know who the 3rd person was in their relationship when they were younger, but that is the TRUE chaotic MFer. This is a sour love story from their childhood into adulthood. That shit never goes well unless they air it ALL out. How many chapters is that going to take.. who knows. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
These side stories feel more like part of the main line honestly. The author and artist did a great job of making this story feel complete. I feel like I just closed a book.
