I was kinda rooting for Woojung to be with Jin. His internal conflict was so intriguing and being loved unconditionally and just—Jin only asked that he try to understand and constantly encouraged good, unlike Seohee who just used Woojung constantly. Woojung needed someone like Jin who just wanted the best for him and positive things. The brother and him aren't an interesting couple to me. I hope Woojung can accept people for who they are and fall in love with someone who won't use his feelings.
I would have so many emotions if Bum could pick Sangwoo's brain and reduce him down into an emotions mess and get him attached then somehow get them both turned in to give the victims the justice they deserve and to think "this is for the best; for both of us" and stuff. Sangwoo would most likely be put to death if it were in America, but I'm not sure about Korea. If he were put to death there, it would be a start and Bum would probably do time then be put in a mental rehab place. It would be cute if he met a doctor or something there that knew how to treat him and could help him move on and accept being who is and cope with his traumas. Even if the person is male or not. But if Sangwoo isn't put to death, it would be cute if he did what was owed then when they're both old and relatively better, they could meet and become friends. Bum could've been helped mentally and settled down with someone—or not, single is fine—and he could write to Sangwoo. I can see him writing to Sangwoo so he isn't lonely, and Sangwoo kinda rejecting him until the letters grow on him. I dunno. Just please have pleasant outcomes.

thanks <3<3
you're going to heaven for this kind act bless
I had a feeling. Ah, bunny bottoms once then top top top. I SHOULD'VE CALLED IT BEFORE THIS.
I think people are comparing Rogi and the wife so much and praising her too much. She does deserve credit, but from how every character unravels, it seems like she isn't as exemplary as everyone raves about. She knows her place and what she should do. She could act this way, but all to put on that front. She is nice because she could use that image to her advantage. I don't believe her one bit. She is Akitora's wife. I really doubt she's some superwoman doing all good and treating everyone nicely and shit. It feels like some role; how she dresses, acts and such. Her character too heavily depends on her calm demeanor that it feels like there's something that could be hidden.
If she is such a great woman, why is she with Akitora? I have no doubts that there's more to her then all of this "best girl!" shit. Her character seems played. I want something on her, just one chapter would be good, honestly. I don't ship her with Akitora at all and it's not because of Rogi, but the relationship. I don't care about Akitora's relationship with his wife. I feel like she just plays one of the factors of the title of the manga: Jealousy. The story seems to show jealousy in multiple forms. The hype on her feels overboard just because she's a 'nice' woman in a yaoi. There are other characters here that actually deserve praise too that barely get it because they are men in the series. And that's just being honest. I don't agree with cheating, but I'm not going to run around screaming about how she's so great to combat it. As someone who reads these mangas, I've seen things that made me physically sick. Yoru to Asa no Uta was pretty ?!. Cheating isn't okay, but as a woman who married a person who will murder then she should have no doubts her husband might stick his dong in different places. Cheating isn't the worst thing I can stomach reading and I won't ever give her praise for taking it. She is human and will feel things, but she was aware of who he was before she said "I do". Either Beriko is intentionally making her 'unhateable' so the readers react to her this way(and Rogi too) or this is an act and she will have her demons.
I don't think she is as innocent as she is portrayed. She's like a honey bun; she's so overwhelmingly sweet that it(might) cover up the real impacts she has. And if you are so worried for her, why do you believe she should stay with the man that stepped out on her? Will you tell me it his obligation as a Yakuza father? If so, then as a Yakuza man he did as he wanted and stepped out on her. Let's not make his morals convenient or think of their relationship in a traditional light. It isn't. I think their marriage suits only because she isn't clingly and annoying and pretty much acts like the traditional house mother which will be convenient for Akitora. It is. I don't deny a level of intimacy, but if he were not Yakuza then I wouldn't see the two as becoming a couple. He needs a woman who will have his kids, he can tolerate, won't stand out and most of all, can tolerate he does. If she went to him whining about cheating, how do you think he would react?
She plays her role with wit. I'm not going to call her perfect or the best girl because she is a woman in a yaoi series who isn't being annoying. And of that, I read this for Rogi and a deeper understanding of him. Not to rave about how much i hate him and want to see this woman. If Akitora left Rogi alone from the beginning and focused on his wife then a chunk of the back story leaves. If his intentions were to be faithful to his wife, he would've done just that. She isn't a role model for being a woman to not freak out over her husband cheating on her when she knew what was up from the beginning. If I am being raw, she is getting praise for simply being a main woman in a yaoi who is getting done wrong. Happens all the time. If they don't actively step in between the yaoi, but get hurt then they become heroines of the series despite having faults. Male characters in yaoi do not get that equivalent(from the ones I've read). She only gets praise for these bits and not things that could make her a meaty character as in her resilience AND wit. Her being able to play this perfect role as a WOMAN for Tora. And that being her trump card. That being something she knows and depends on which can give us a peek beyond her interactions as mother/wife: a woman. But instead she is praised because she withstands being cheated on by a Yakuza husband in a yaoi series.
If you made it this far, I'm surprised, but I you disagree, comment and we can debate. More than happy to compare opinions. And yes, Rogi is my favorite character in the series. He needs therapy and unconditional love. And support. And major healing. Maybe some jail time. Yeah, some jail time.
I don't understand this rant though....Is it for people who are overly hating on Rogi and praising Asami, too much?
Those who hate Rogi are just too emotional and have high morals. But from a narrative perspective and, I guess, psychological pov, I LOVE ROGI. He's a gem in the yaoi world.
The best part about Asami is her confidence about being a wife. It is very rare to find such cool and logical women in yaoi, compared to the usual annoying and homophobic women. Her personality was written to fit in the Yakuza environment. I think the only time I read such a badass wife was in Kyoujin series by Ike Reibun, another Yakuza yaoi.
It was addressing the hype of her. She has lots of hype and what made it bad was that it was for all the wrong reasons. Simply because she's a "suffering wife".
I love the potential and her character. She knows her role as a woman and she works it well. But she's extremely clever. She knows she doesn't have to be mean to Rogi, because she is Akitora's WOMAN, which Rogi couldn't be. She is basically the perfect woman. When she isn't hands on with the baby, she is taking care of Akitora like a mother and is a model host to guests. She is basically the perfect woman, which seems to be very important to her. And she can use that image to her advantage. And just those eyes when she squints or when she talks about how confident she is in her relationship to Akitora just promises that there's something deeper brooding in there. Every character has some form of darkness in them and stuff like when he mentions Asoda glaring at him and that vibe he had. Why Akitora chose him. Tora's two closest people are loyal and seem to have this innocent and devoted vibe to them. As if they do no wrong, the vibe that is. And I feel like this is no coincidence. Rogi is very different from Asoda and Asami. Nothing feels like coincidences and everyone around Akitora seems to play a role and it vital. The loyal wife and devoted underling. Rogi doesn't fit in and is spontaneous. He doesn't seem to fit a "role".
ROGI IS A GEM. IT'S LIKE COME ON HE HAS SO MUCH CHARACTER. THERE WOULD BE NO PLOT WITHOUT HIM.
I've never really thought of her as innocent compared to Asoda who is just so pure. I think what makes Tora keep her is that she is honest. Guessing here, I mean she treats him differently than other girls who would probably do their best to kiss up on Tora because he is such an important person in the Yakuza, or that most women would be afraid of him and pretend to be nice because of his position. Asami was different.
Both she and Asoda are loyal to Tora but that's the only thing they have in common. Asami is as cunning and filthy as Tora and Rogi.
"She is basically the perfect woman, which seems to be very important to her." - I am thinking this roots from her background as a prostitute. I don't want to speculate, lazy to do so, so I'll just wait for more info about her.
But I get your point, specially those who somewhat pities Asami, along with hyping about her. She is not to be pitied. She can handle herself.
Sensei was very obvious that behind that very capable wife image is someone who no one can fuck with. Wolf in a sheep's clothing. Opposite to Rogi's persona.
Mm.. I just might write an analysis for these characters. I just don't buy into her persona. We see several times that she let's her jealousy. If she didn't believe Rogi was a threat then the panel with her talking about being Akitora's woman and giving him a blowjob while asleep wouldn't mean a thing. It wouldn't exist. Asoda kind of points a lot out too. Her doing her 'duties' and not caving under Rogi's presence (when she gave Tora the bj). She even calls herself doing her job when takong care of Tora and such. Her job as his "WOMAN". I do believe she has some confidence in her, but I think she also does that "fake it until you make it thing".
Oh, I don't believe anyone in the story is pure normal innocent. It's just the vibes they give when you see their thoughts or actions. But I also think the main characters all have a jealousy streak. Anyway, I don't give her props for making herself a hard obstacle. She's Akitora's wife and a character of Scarlet. I expect there to not be a perfect or weal character when it comes to the main story.
Love is indeed a big question here, huh? Do Asami and Tora love each other or it was all out of loyalty and paying debts? There's so much to Asami that I just want to find out. There is yet to be found out if Tora is really capable of genuinely loving someone and the people around him. So far, none. Everyone is around him out of loyalty, duty and fascination. (I have always doubt Tora loving Asami since I always thought that they only got together because Tora needed to have an heir.) All of them has something to be jealous about yet it's not really about being loved, just about keeping Tora interested on them.
I wanted to also write metas about Jealousy but I just never really got to it because I feel like the information about them is never enough, especially Tora.
I don't think she's a perfect woman. In my opinion, any woman would have kicked their husband's cheating ass to the curb and moved on. I do think she is smart (in a calculating way) and loyal. She comes from prostitution and knows the harsh reality of being a sex worker. Now, that she is a wife and is a mother...she will protect those roles at all costs. She's being practical and not letting emotions take her over and I really appreciate that about her character.
I would love her backstory.
Not understanding why everyone ships Yuito with the oldest brother, but I guess that's fine, but I wanna talk about that sexy mole
