For this most recent ch, I thought they had graduated HS. In other words, I thought this was AFTER the implied separation. HOWEVER, I'm seeing some people are placing this ch BEFORE the implied separation? What are yalls thoughts?
Could easily be my own cultural ignorance. Do highschoolers typically apply for internships? They also just looked a lot older.
if youuu realllyyy noticed. Theres not set timeline here. Cause if you remember Jian Yi getting kidnapped gone during HS(??) and then he come back ( early chapter implied that) he’s been missing then some art here and there. And then HS and then now without even seeing them graduate?? And the easter egg in the arts like the christmas art wayybefore the actual story? I dont if im making sense or not
No you right, it's like various routes to the endgame (?) more like Old Xian improvised the story as she went and didn't think of one specific timeline
Read this around 2015 and came back for morbid curiosity. For the premise, it's handled relatively well, and is well-written. At least it doesn't have any sexual assault--yes that's how low the bar is for manga dated before the 2010s.
My gripe is, though, that they only knew each other for a few weeks/months during the TT-ing, idk why dark-haired guy would hold on for so long. Yeah, he was going through trauma, and blonde was there, but I'm not buying it. And second, why is the fact that they are father-son SOO emphasized in the last chapter? The point is that they are trying to be "just people," but then they pull shit like, "My lover, my father," and it's so cringey because it doesn't match with the perspectives of the characters where they DON'T see each other as father-son (by ch11).
