I really hate it that women think it's okay to slap people just because they're women. It's still violence, it's still abuse. If a guy did that, the cops would be called and he'd be spending the night in jail but a women? Nope. They can get away with that shit. Not okay to slap someone people! I don't care how hurt or upset you are. Grow up and handle it like a civilized human being and an adult.
It's an ongoing issue that I don't think will ever be resolved, unfortunately. As soon as I see a girl or woman hit or slap anyone out of anger or spite, immediately whatever emotion I felt towards them turns to dislike and they lose my respect. I didnt like Achi anyway because she's your stereotypical get-in-the-way female character and I am certainly not a fan of yuri, but that slap did me in.
Stockholm syndrome at its finest. Slow develiping--as it should be--so I think its throwing everyone off because we're used to manga where SS is very quickly developed and you sont see too many of the deviants misdeeds or abuse. This certainly has a lot of both. It's kind of icky to read, but I can see the development between the characters, slow as it is.
Sorry for the typos. It wouldn't let me edit.
I wanted to add that this is actually a rather accurate portrayal of developing SS, although it is still moving rather quickly. But the uke is struggling with his anger while his psyche is searching for a way to humanize his abuser so that he doesn't completely break. Pretty good, I think, if not horribly misleading in the title. Lol. Kenichi is way more than just "kinky".
thats all they could fish up? As someone who was bullied a LOT, I can contest that i don't hold it against my bullies. Not any longer. Its super unhealthy and people do change, especially after high school. In fact, you change the most directly AFTER school. I know it's heavily condoned in all parts of the world, but that's like a parent grounding a child who is now an adult because they realized that ten years ago it really wasn't the dog that stole their cigarettes. Or something like that. The news loves drama....i hate the news. Bjnch of gossip-whores.
It happens a lot in Korea and Japan, actually. It just happened this past year with a rising kpop idol, whose name is slipping my mind. The petty stories like being gay, being a bully or stupid indiscretions as youths come out all the time. Mostly because they try to keep idols with these pristine images. There was this one that happened with Disney where one of the higher-ups said something over a decade ago on a social media site against disney that they dug up. Dont recall what it was but I remember thinking it was dumb as hell to report something that happened ten years ago thinking it was still relevant. If a person can go through drastic change in one year, imagine what can happen in ten? It does still happen, though.
I'm probably on the out with this, but I like the VP and Eunwoo more as a couple. Taeho is an asshole nd has treated Eunwoo like trash since the beginning and now he wants to play the distraught pity card? Should have thought of those consequences before planning all this out, jerk.
I'm betting the blond is the kid of the woman who got eternal life--or maybe it wasn't a woman at all and he was the one who fell in love with a mermaid, became immortal and went insane.
Back the VP, though. I can only sympathize with him. He went through something horribly traumatic with his s/o and seeing Eunwoo triggered a lot of that trauma he never dealt with. Its understandable that if he had a 2nd chance, he'd jump on it and then try his best to change the outcome so no one has to die. After all, that's pretty much been his underlying motive the whole time once he got suspicious about Eunwoo being a merman.
*sigh* I hope it has a happy ending, but I'm rooting for VP and EW. Sorry guys. I dont abide by people who premeditate harm (emotional or otherwise) towards others.
for those of you looking or avoiding because of that genre. Whereas loli can mean young-looking female while lolicon normally refers to underage, shota and shtmotacon only refer to attraction to underage boys, which this doesn't have. Incest? Oh, yes. But shotacon? Nope. Our youthful man is a college student.
Uh no. They don't have a term for that in Japan. "Shotacon" and "shota" are Japanese terms that are exactly what I said they mean in my first comment. "Legal shota" is not a term they have and would confuse them if you even said that in Japanese directly translated from English. Which is my point. And just pointing out that he's of age for anyone looking for something more like Loveless, instead of a prepubescent-looking college student. Some people care, others don't. Personally, I like this story quite a bit and, although its predictable, I'm looking forward to the updates.
it was apparent the author just wanted to end it and wasn't quite sure how. The last chapter wasn't even really an epilogue. I really kind of disliked the last half of this whole thing. Just steadily got worse. Predictable and boring and the climb had no deep emotion. Disappointing really, because I expected more considering how the first half went. But I get it. Its hard to keep up the momentum for a story if you've started another project or have other ideas.
