I don't hate this manhwa but isn't 9.5 a bit too much for a cliche story with cliche characters? I thought high ratings were for actual masterpieces not mediocre stories with nice art??

hey :D

I'm kinda trying to translate this right now (as long as they don't talk much I'm good), and I think my translations are more or less fine, so I want to upload them - buuut I don't know how. anyone does?

Whoever is translating this, Thank You very much for taking your time to do this. There is a great lack of good shoujo manga and its been a really long time since I found one as good as this with a real plot. All the characters have a backstory worth reading about and I love our heroine together with her adorable and awkward boyfriend.

I had to stop after 5 chapters cause this is complete shit. So far all I get is that it's about one horny guy and one slightly sadistic cute looking seme. I had to recheck the tags cause I thought it was shota. They look like young boys without public hair yet. And Who the hell masturbates in front of a friend just cause they were told to do so? And then he acts all pissed and shy in front of him the next day? Well obviously

*this is my interpretation of the manga after rereading it from beginning to end - feel free to add or argue or whatever if you think my summary's lacking*

Basically the beginning of the manga is all "fake" aka Law put Jesse under Moritat so he could fake a scenario where Jesse is the rich heir to Brown Company but was tortured and then traumatized by his parents' deaths and loved only Law blah blah blah.

So what was the point of Law doing so?

The flashbacks (which is the TRUE reality of Jesse and Law's pasts) basically tells us.

Since childhood, Law has suffered tremendous anxiety and pressure from his "friendship" with Jesse. Not only were there romantic feelings involved, but Law also felt low-key hatred towards Jesse for being so controlling, oppressive and perfect.

Law puts Jesse on a pedestal for his entire life and their relationship in the TRUE reality reaches the breaking point when Jesse tells Law that he wants Law to go to school and leave him. [This is where people get confused in the flashbacks; basically Law pretends that he wants to leave to go study so he can see Jesse panic over losing him - but Jesse wants to finally be selfless & have a healthier relationship with Law so he tells him to go ahead and do so.]

Law freaks the fuck out and thinks this means Jesse never loved/needed him. So he then puts Jesse under Moritat, and then reenacts that entire scenario that is like the first 20 chapters of the manga.

Their experience in Moritat ends because this time (Law apparently has done this scenario multiple times with Jesse but each time, Jesse refuses to "choose" him aka Jesse doesn't trust Law even in this new fake world Law created Moritat), Jesse FINALLy ends up trusting in Law and "chooses him" when he says that he wants to die with Law rather than live without him.

This is all Law ever wanted - but he gets scared of commitment and ends Moritat. In the present, he tells Jesse it was all about control, not love, for him. In reality, he does (obsessively & unhealthily) love Jesse but is too afraid to finally be in a relationship with this person he's revered as a God for so long.

That's what the last chapter of Moritat is all about. Jesse believed Law when Law said he only put Jesse in Moritat to mess with him/control him/finally beat him. So he leaves and goes back to school. But then he runs into that maid and realizes that Law is still head over heels obsessed/in love with him and still watching that simulation of child Jesse. So he runs back and tells Law to man the fuck up and be with him in the REAL world, even if it's hard and unhealthy and complicated.

In case you couldn't tell, I fuckin loved this manga. Brilliant and deep as shit and I don't even mind that they don't kiss at the end lmao.
