We know Sanho wanted to be in a relationship, wanted to have someone to date. He hadnt had his first kiss so he kissed Tak to know if he can do it with his girlfriend (yea thats dumb of him to do) and so far he has been worried about everyone and really caring with his friends as well.
Tak is totally taking advantage of that and using him as a hole cuz HE wants to and clearly doesnt care enough to ask what Sanho wants.
Low and behold, when Sanho drunkedly describes in detail that Tak is hurting him physically and that sex with him is bad (+he doesnt wear a condom), he for some reason listens? Not like he had been telling him that it hurts before or that he doesnt want to before... Why is it now that he listens?
Oh and thats not it. His solution is to have sex but ofc get a condom and be gentler... Okay? That still isn't fixing anything... That is still using Sanho as his fucktoy.. Ofc Sanho allows him like he had been allowing him up to that point (that is not punching or doing anything that would hurt Tak) except he can enjoy it a little bit at least.
But that still doesnt fix the fact that Tak said Sanho isnt his friend anymore just because he wanted to use him as his fucktoy. It still doesnt fix the fact that he never cared what Sanho wants and Sanho out of care for him and not wanting to hurt HIM lets him... It still doesnt fix the fact that it was Sanhos first time and he even cried cuz he wished that he could have done it with someone hes in a relationship with and who he loves as well as being loved back and to care and be cared for after sex, which none of Tak did...
And so far im assuming rn it has been updated to one chaper before last chapter (i assume itd be 16 chaps total for the sidestory, raws have 15 rn). Chap 15 is where they have the gentle and condom sex, Sanho enjoys it (which i hate that it just encourages Tak to use him as his fuck toy as long as he doesnt hurt him), so Im dissapointed that they are just gonna leave it at that probably... unless theres more than 16 chaps...
Holy shit,I hate Take with burning passion but I really wanted to see where this story will go,I was hoping for the cliche side character to appear fall in love with Sanho and show Take that he loved Sanho all along and wanted a relationship or something but from what you described ITS HORRIBLE,since I've been in Sanhos shoes before and tried to date someone who saw me as nothing but a sex toy ITS MISERABLE,i don't know why author chose to do this unlike the main couple who get into a relationship
I hate the fact that the dude who drugged someone not only got away with it but was rewarded..
And the omega had a whole ass trauma because of alphas, but then accepted the alpha who drugged him? Just cuz he punched another alpha who was the same as him? And completely forgot that he got drugged?
Like cmon... Couldn't there at least the omega tell the other omega about the drugging (since that was the prime target)? Couldn't they have actually punished him, not just "awe me feeling bummed about my own actions is enough of a punishment"?
Honestly Dohyeok got what he deserved.
the last chapter before the ending it was clear he hadnt learned anything. Rewarding him when he clearly does not listen and still does whatever would have been bad.
This feels like the build up for the second part, because i do agree that parts of it are unfinished. Like I would expect that we would see Dohyeok develop and finally learn and redeem himself. And also because it clearly sets up the trip exactly for a timeskip. So i dont think its the END end.
I am thinking the same thing. I certainly understand the other comments about hating the author, the character, or the whole thing but I am still looking forward how the last chapter (raw) will help him redeem himself or whatever they call it. Probably the author has its own ways to redeem their character. Also, I did not see anything at the end of the page saying it was the end of the side story, so, yes - I am relieve to see this comment.
Like i get people not liking how there seems to be no progress, but there is, its just very very little.
And THIS is their relationship dynamic, I dont really expect significant changes in that aspect. Like we'll never see Souichi be super pumped about sex and romance, thats just not happening, but he is slowly accepting Morinaga more and more. As much as he's denying it, he is very aware of it.
And about the progress, with each vol we see a little bit of progress. It might not be the usual pace for romance, but personally im here for the slowburn and for the little progress that for souichi is quite big.
I think another thing is since im aromantic asexual and I already clocked Souichi as aromantic asexual (little to no romantic and sexual attraction), I feel like I see why the progress of the romance isnt the usual one, but it still is quite clear that he cares about Morinaga, that part had been clear since the very beginning.
I get it but this has been going on for SO long that it’s has no taste anymore. Like, we’re not asking for major development but at least acknowledgment of a sort that this has been taking going to while and that maybe I (the author) should pick up the pace or just end it on happy note. it’s just dragging.
I think it could be picking up pace if we think that a major development will happen the same way as 7-8 vol in 15-16 vols.
I feel the reason it is continued after the 8th vol was because people asked for more, because 8th vol already concluded it technically.
I get the dragging but since I personally enjoy their dynamic I love seeing more of their interactions. I still think the development is the same as it's always been and I don't expect any different of it. I love slow burn, I am patient and I think the pace of their development fits them well, tho I wish the updates were consistent.
Also if I were to predict what will happen in 15-16 vols, I would say it would:
1) either be the same as vol 7-8, like they get into an argument and then souichi has to contemplate a lot and either come to the same conclusion (which I hope doesn't happen) or further conclusion in a sense that he actually has to face what he feels instead of just accepting morinaga.
2) or morinaga gets brought down by his parents significantly and souichi needs to significantly reassure morinaga, not just crumbs that he usually does just so he doesn't have to face the full truth. And also if I had to guess why, I would think it could be something to do with them visiting morinagas parents and they maybe have brides chosen for him or something lol (I would also love if there's some farce happening with the brother reveal, possibly after).
Honestly i feel sad for Mori. I imagine deep down he still had some hope to make his parents understand and that they genuinely wanted to reconnect, just to be faced with his parents cruelty and selfishness again...
Other than that Souichi-san was sweet this chapter.
