beware rant
but i got around to googling spoilers after eons and then was like fuck it and kind of read a good portion of the "end" (69-84) and i have come to the fucking conclusion that reira (and japanese love/sex culture) BE THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. (also paparazzi.) like this little trifling ho. selfish as hell. pushes herself onto a married man who says she'll just be one of his many lovers and she's like sure<3 gimmie that d<3 and then when he tells her it's not going to be anything special; she's /as he'd said/ just the level of a side piece if they keep that shit up.........ho gets upset. "BUT I THOUGHT" "BUT I WANTED" "BUT I HOPED". shut up. and i'm not excusing takumi he is a whore but i blame his greedy character and japan excusing cheating (and noncon) to a disgusting degree. he's also got too muddy a relationship & feelings with that ho reira. I can't like him but my distaste for reira is stronger.
anyways. reira rant time here. her boohoo pout pout making others fucking worry and revolve around her shit. her using her position in & thus importance to the band & the potential of her quitting, maybe unconsciously, as sort of leverage over others - her means of bending others to her will. not only did it defs contribute to the rocky at best relationship between hachi & takumi years into the fucking future (imma not even touch on the son bit atm) but i also feel like she's a main contributor in ren's death. drugs, paparazzi, snow; all a part of it ofc. but if he didn't feel so worried about her and the need to bring her back to keep the band together etc he wouldn't have been out there driving in the fucking snow /HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE PLANE WITH HACHI THE NEXT DAY/ just as nana had been dreaming of.
and then for the future shots of that twat in the UK with takumi & (hachis son) ren doing her stupid ass 'talking to (og) ren's ghost' like /I JUST WANT TO DESTROY EVERYTHING TAKUMI LOVES. I SHOULD WANT TO DESTROY HIS SON TOO~ but he reminds me so much of ren i can't help but be soft with him~ i legit wanted to push her in front of a double decker bus. her messy ass relationships with everyone in this and her being a damn brat just push me too far off the edge lol. i do not care about her past or her character's reasons because /cHiLdHo0d/ she has her /rEAs0ns/ like nah brah nah. i'm not even going into the issue of her pedo crimes even if japans age of consent (in 2000) was horrific and made that shit legal....
also i basically realized i pretty much hate everyone in this story lol like even when i don't hate them i do hate them; they're flawed -to the extreme- trash but at least 70% of the time i can contribute that to the gross culture of japan's "romance" and "cheating" ideals. i honestly feel like the only way this story could have gone like....anywhere near ok /anywhere even approaching ok/ would have been if it just became a throuple with nana hachi and ren. mainly because nana and ren can't be apart but hachi would add stability & wouldn't be a threat. it'd still be an absolute shit show and probably worse in ways buuuuut.....this can't get much worse. i do overall still like this story it's complexity is well done but in some ways it aged poorly. (and in other ways; japan is still the exact same.)
this i just....i...........-deep sigh-
foot fetish
NO YOU DO /NOT/ NEED TO LOOSEN HIM UP THAT ASSHOLE SHOULD BE GAPING AT THIS POINT /bros literally "wet" because you've turned his butthole into a slip n slide/
also HOW IS IT THEY TAKE 2 STEPS FORWARD.......AND HAVE TO STOP TO FUCK AGAIN??????????? every fkn chapter sobsobsob i'm dying inside this webtoon is next level on the "fuck the plot" meter
it finally got interesting and then /cliffhanger/
