the family's obviously fucked up as anyone can be, but tbh the secretary and the house staff scare me too--they're so calm and accepting of all the crazy shit that happens in that house
and the fucking sister, Noah's "hers," but she lets people rape him? WTF??!!
I think I'mma wait until the series ends to read the rest--so I can see all the assholes get bitch-slapped by karma

he seems so twisted omggg
but i really want to see him when he falls in love with her and becomes protective of her >_< in the cover he's holding her in the classic protective position and I can't wait!!!
I just hope it's not the cold/twisted-guy-hurts-girl-over-and-over-before-realizing-he-loves-her trope

- the whole beating-people-up-with-a-pipe thing
- violent & strange
- older than Woojin
- Hwon said he'd gone to juvie --> pretty sure beating someone half to death with a pipe would land you there if you were a minor
- he also said the mob was the only place that would take him --> if he had no background and had gone to juvie, it'd be pretty hard to get any other job (also Woojin's friend had an inheritance, so most likely he wouldn't need to join the mob, unless his aunt took all his money)
- Friend has a mole above his left eye while Hwon doesn't, and their hair is different...
but then again Hwon said he'd seen Woojin's sister, and if he's the beggar it's unlikely that he would've had the chance to see her...aaagh so confusedヽ(`Д´)ノ

but wasn't Woojin's sister really popular and a troublemaker so everyone in their small town would have known her?

ok but hwon could also be the childhood friend, right?
in chapter 22 (near the end), childhood friend said "want me to beat the crap outta them, pull out all their hair and teeth, and make them shit blood?" because people have been bullying woojin. woojin replies with "wha? you planning on becoming a ganster?"
after arguing back and forth, woojin says he doesn't have a phone and asks childhood friend how he would find him. childhood friend says "i'll follow you without anyone knowing."
that's so similar to hwon O____O we know that hwon is in a mob and when woojin sleeps with other people, he beats them up and takes their teeth to show woojin. whenever woojin runs away, hwon would always find him somehow. he always know where woojin is and who he's with. LIKE...WOAH

I get why a lot of people are all like, "the uke's so dumb" or "he doesn't deserve Shougo," but Mitsuru's been in love with that scumbag for 5 years (or more), and that worthless piece of shit of a man has Mitsuru wrapped around his finger. Yeah, Mitsuru shouldn't have gone into the hotel with him, but it's hard to say "no" to someone you've been (and still are) so deeply attached to, especially when they've thoroughly manipulated you to be completely under their influence. Of course, Shougo doesn't deserve to be dragged into this mess, but just b/c Mitsuru is naive or even "stupid" doesn't mean he deserves what his ex did/does to him.

You can put it that way, but then again what counts as true "choice"? It's not like Mitsuru went to Kouichi and was like, "hit me, burn me and force yourself on me"--and no, it doesn't matter that Mitsuru was aroused, it was still nonconsensual. Kouichi has manipulated him into thinking that he's "dirty" now, that no one else will accept him--just like how abuse happens irl. I've read Chinese raws of later chapters, and *spoiler alert* Kouichi hadn't helped Mitsuru's self-esteem at all in their 5 years together--now add that to the "no one else will love you except me" he's saying--Mitsuru naturally feels like he'll only have a secure (though not safe or happy) relationship with Kouichi.

Yeah. I think so too. Ofc, we don't want Shougo to be hurt but Mitsuru was hurting as well. Coming from a painful 5 years relationship, I dont think he can move on that easily. Maybe, coming with his ex in a hotel was not wise, but still he did not deserve to be treated like that. He was broken and confused. He was trying to start a new love and starting again after being hurt will be the hardest. It's not surprising if he will feel insecure and have trust issues. That is why, I would want them, Mitsuru and Shougo , to talk it out personally, so they can say their true feelings. Hopefully.

Kouichi didn't kidnapped or physically imprisoned Mitsuru. Well, I know he did send that video, but Mitsuru was the one who chose to follow him - to the hotel to put, and he was happy with the invitation. It's like you willingly go into an opened hungry lion's cage and you blame that you didn't know the lion would kill you and eat you... Moreover, you do know this lion has been behaving that way for 5 years. I mean, if you're an adult, you have to see what's coming.
What I mean by 'deserve' is that when you yourself choose to do something - oh, let's be honest, most of our choices are made by 'ourselves', unless we are having a loaded gun pointed at us or are hypnotized or are sleep-walking - you have to take responsibility for that choice - the consequences. That's all.
Well, I'm the kind of person who hate all kinds of cheating, so maybe I was a little harsh and didn't use the right words. Allow me to put it this way: Mitsuru was not the problem, his behaviour was. He, as a person, doesn't deserve to be treated badly. He, as a person, has to take responsibility for choosing to be treated badly.
And I think some people are misunderstanding when saying Mitsuru didn't choose to be treated like that. From what I've read, he saw that coming, and he did take responsibility - not a wise choice though.

Instead of "don't mess with mama bears," I'm going to teach my potential future children "don't mess with Mama Frankie"--
Rule 1: Don't mess with Papa Rai or any of their babies
Rule 2 & beyond: Consult Rule 1
Frankie's face on the last page is to die for
I also love how a few hundred chapters into the manhwa we start getting a lot of little romantic bits ^_^ it's super cute

after reading ch 5.5 & 5, I'm guessing that Yumi & Mayama are living in Osaka right now, but are moving to Kyoto soon, and they're gonna bump into Shuuna & Hayashida while the latter's visiting
also I don't give a fuck who Shuuna's co-worker is (unless he's Hiro from the other series), but if he's interested in my bb Yumi I'mma shove his balls back into his body where they belong (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸

Lol yes, Shuuna's co-worker Wada-san is indeed interested in Yumi. Chapter 6 will be about Shuuna and his co-workers visiting the bar where Yumi works at. Wada-san uses Shuuna to scoop on Yumi's personal info. At the end of the chapter Shuuna realizes that Yumi is the guy in Hayashida's old photo.

don't worry, he's just another random character. I don't think he's gonna appear again lol.
he just makes me feel worse for Noah...like Noah's so scared of losing him but he's just so...I can't even find words to describe him...
