Ppl always bring up that Kou snatched Futaba when Touma said he would do the same as Kou if Kou makes Futaba cry again and Kou only asked her what she wants for herself and Futaba decided to stop pleasing ppl. The boy just asked and in the same chapter Futaba broke up with Touma. There was no snatching or courting
Rather than blaming Kou (yes he made mistakes too) I felt that Narumi manipulated him and that touma wasn't the nice guy he pretended to be. He deliberately manipulated a vulnerable girl, took advantage for his own benefit, messed with her head (convinced her Kou had no feelings for her, that he "wasn't like kou", that the kiss meant nothing etc-), bad mouthed Kou to make himself look better, put pressure on her and made Futaba constantly feel guilty. When he realised it wasn't working and that Kou was trying to fix everything with Futaba he demanded an answer despite promising her time, kept insisting and basically forced her into a terrible relationship she wasn't ready for (which he knew because he didn't want to lose his chance. The guy even saw Kou in the crowd looking for her, refused to accept a NO as an answer because as he said he knew he only had that 1 moment yet ppl paint him as a hero.
Don't quite understand why people hate on Kou but maybe it's because the older I get the more I appreciate flawed, imperfect character's like him. He is a 16 year old teen that got emotionally manipulated by a toxic friend just as he was starting to move on from his mother's death. She triggered his PTSD, dragged him down and Kou felt guilty for not prioritising his mother's death!! We even see him reaching out to Futaba to talk, asking her what he should do but sadly Narumi and Touma gotten into her head so she didn't, asking to be rejected by him instead. It's only thanks to futaba he realised time doesn't stand still and that it's okay to move on, to be happy and to be loved.
My comments don't show up?
Anyone emotional manga recommendations like ao haru ride
As someone who adores cat boys like Kyo or Natsume , Ryo is nothing like one. I mean he's cute but kinda bland?
Y'all always complaining under het age gap romance where's that energy under yaois? And it's deadass in the description, the cover and the first few page LMAO
Kou deadass named his cat Futaba and y'all believe he wasn't serious about her the whole time? Everything he did was out of love, he wanted to be with her but felt responsible for that bitch and was afraid he'd loos Futaba like his mom. That bitch pulled him right back into darkness. Is that stupid? Obviously. Understandably as someone who had depression, yes.
Some of ya really say, I read controversial shit but I draw the line at an innocent age gap manga and can't read the snyopsis #－.－)
