Light spoiler warnings, as of ch. 28. Don't open up unless you don't mind. Also long-ish rant, much love in advance for reading till the end.
Off rip, Jingle is off the table. Don't like what he does, never did. Literally ripping holes in ch. 1. Surprisingly a mastermind and a lil (maybe a lotta) troubled. I mean they're in jail but-
Was rooting for my boy Hunkyjae, thought he was a shy teddy bear. Was curious to know why he was in jail. Was in Egypt in the river of De Nile, got me thinking, "maybe he's taking a fall, my sweet old man" but now we see. Because of his not getting proper help as a child, and the messed up jobs he had as an adult, I realize this might be a whole ass GRIZZLY BEAR instead. The nervous folly in the workshop with the new transfer inmate yappin', and the evidence and logs in the security office, I'm pretty disheartened (I'M SHIVERIN' ME TIMBERS). Huge danger..but he got my heart in a vice grip, HELP.
Then they show us just how bad Myeow's gambling addiction is. His poverty got him to that state (and also his pride, he easily could have gotten a low income job to avoid allat jail hassle) and we got to see that in the yard that one chappy. Like, his eyes go blank and his smile goes smooth, that man thinks of nothing else.
They all messed up on different levels and now I just wanna finish be sure the kids are gonna make it. Granny too. Granny sus tho. (=・ω・=)
I read at least one Translator Note and Author Note from every book I read, if available. A lot of them is worth a considerate nod. Some of them actually keep me entertained. Bruh... why is OG Santa Claus actually funny, wth... Now I'm looking forward to the rest of their notes. I'd even read a blog if they got one.
Writing is my k_nk too, let's write long paragraphs together. Anyone is welcome to join. (●'◡'●)ノ
The majority of you need to calm down. Throughout the manga, we literally see Umehiko finding lots of similarities between his sister Momo and to Theodorus. And as Momo had been practically glued to Ume since she was young and as they're blood related, of course they would share many traits. Fierce selfless acts of love (for their platonic ones or otherwise), caring, compassion, empathy, etc. especially over the things they've come to care about.
It's thanks to Ume being able to spot the similarities in his little sister that he's able to figure out what Theo's deal is and act with him accordingly. And sometimes he has to act as his own person hehe. If you're one of those caring types or parent figures, you would know.
Why can't little Momo be fierce and protective about her brother? (I recognized the emotion immediately, I feel the same way about my younger sibling. That wasn't romantic yandere defense, that was, "I don't want to know that they're suddenly involved with someone after being gone for so long without my say so. Don't touch them." defense. Remember that Momo doesn't have a good impression of Theo yet, first time they met he was gonna make her a blessed maiden.) And can you blame her after who knows what she's already been through in that world?? And she's been there... Probably for as long as Ume was, we dunno if she ever touched home because of their powerful magic affinity thing and therefore summon chance.
Yappatron alert, read with caution. Idk about all this war about the main characters of the main story vs. the side characters for this secondary story/spin off, but this is probably only the second manga I've come across that I'm so far happy with the entire thing. First plot was good, development was good, and had a good end to me. You never expect much from the second movie after the first movie slaps, but I'm also invested in the secondary characters. It's good. There are new elements. I needed to know what happens to the first incubus anyway (I'm the type of person who needs loose ends tied up, so I'm also hoping there are plans for the second incubus that got left out). I mean, they're demons with self interest, contracts, plans and ulterior motives, but seeing them develop emotions always hits home for me. The art style is a little more fresh than the standard art style, and I'm living for it! I can't wait for more of the upload. Don't forget to support the author, fellow readers! (●'◡'●)ノ
