I can't believe that so many people are obsessed with Shinpei just cause he is a crazy hot dude. Like let us get some depth in the characters. The backstory was a nice touch and kind of different from the typical I liked you since we were young. Also, so many of you treat Kotaro like he is the bad guy, he is just trying to protect Satoko. Just imagine finding the girl you love and trying to protect in love with a crazy killer who tried to murder you... and yes, I do like Shinpei and hope to see his development, let's just cut Kotaro some slack. He isn't even trying to get her for himself, all he wants is for her to have a peaceful and loving life with someone respectable.
Probably because many of us read the story for a crazy hot dude not some annoying childhood friend lmao.
Well you do you, but whining because the story is not as shallow as you wanted isn't gonna get you anything.
Kothari is also hot and I'd say more than Shinpei cuz he's not scrawny. I'm not gonna cut kotaro any slack. He's trying to control her and taking away her autonomy. He's not thinking of her happiness at all. He could've reasoned with her, found another solution, helped her win her father over or just vowing to support her and kill Shinpei if he makes her unhappy. But instead of doing anything like that he's forcefully taking her away from the man she loves. Does her feelings not matter? She's been coddled all her life and now when she wants and has decided something for herself he's trying to take it away. If he really cared for her happiness, he'd respect her decision. What guarantee is there that Satoko will find peace and love from someone else? Right now she loves Shinpei and wants to be with him and he is also devoted to her. Last ch made Satoko's feelings clear, does the idiot really think she'll be happy marrying into a wealthy and respectable family when she loves someone else? He knows she won't be but still because she fell in love with Shinpei and wants him while he can't have her is ticking him off. It's so obvious that's what this is about. I hate guys like him and unless he gets his head on straight I'll never like him
Woah, woah. Chill there. I’m not whining about the story, I’m whining about the character. I like depth. But it also does not make me like his character. That is all. Don’t misconstrue my words just because I don’t agree with you.
Kotaro trying to "protect" Satoko by deciding her future for her and limiting her choices takes away her agency. Even if he believes he knows what's best, she should have the freedom to make her own decisions about relationships and life path.
I apologize for being rude
You guys seem to forget that Shinpei is a murderer, thinking that he is not good for her is perfectly valid.
It’s okay.
We're not babies, I like him precisely because he's a murderer. But see, Kotaro's not being like this just because he's a murderer but because Satoko fell for him. Satoko can't control her feelings but Kotaro's trying to control her. Thinking Shinpei ain't good for her is perfectly valid but taking away Satoko's agency and her freedom of choice isn't. Also trying to get her away from Shinpei, whom she loves, and getting married to someone she doesn't love is not thinking of her happiness, it's making her miserable. He's being extremely selfish.
I’m well aware, and you’re right, it’s valid. Of course it is. Absolutely. But I also don’t care. At the end of the day, it’s up to her whether she wants to be with Shinpei or not. If she wants that, honestly, so be it. And we already know how that’s going to go.
kotaro killed people during his police training, is it only okay to kill people if you, as the law, does the killing? who decides what is lawful and what's not? if yall wanna use the "shinpei" is a murderer argument then let's examine all aspects of the story..
Great point! Not considering the amount of times Shinpei's saved Satoko even at the cost of his own life. Just saying Shinpei's a murderer and not good for her is a very narrow way of looking at things. She feels free with Shinpei, he respects her decisions even if he does try his hardest to make her sway. She was coddled in her home but experienced so many new things with him. At her home no one allowed her to do anything but now she's proved how capable she is. Of course she'd choose Shinpei.
Obviously being a kidnapper and a hitman hurting innocent people is extremely different from doing your duty as a police officer and hurting criminals. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying what he did was right but definitely different from Shinpei
And why is killing criminals necessary? What gives ANYONE the right to kill another person no matter the reason? Why does the police have this power? You think police doesn't kill innocents? That's a whole another can of worms so let's just not get into it. What kotaro did essentially isn't all that different from Shinpei, they've both killed only difference is that one is protected by the law. Shinpei's job is a hitman just like Kotaro's job as a policeman. There's no reason to assume that Shinpei has only ever killed innocents, all sorts of targets must have come to him. Also, Kotaro and Shinpei's circumstances are completely different. While we don't know much about Shinpei it's clear that his upbringing was not good and he killed people for survival. Kotaro belongs to a well-off family he hasn't had a hard life. And as Satoko's bodyguard, if there was a difficult situation he would've also killed people to protect Satoko but that won't be considered a problem because that's his job right? Even tho he killed it's okay. That's just hypocrisy.
Both kill people and got reward at the end
Neither man has behaved perfectly ethically. But while Shinpei's hands are bloodier in his past, his current motivations to save Satoko repeatedly demonstrate sacrifice and redemption. Kotaro's motivations come across as more selfish in contrast - he wants the woman he loves to be with him regardless of her own wishes.
nice, anyway shinpei solos whatever that thing is
That backstory was actually sad. I thought that Kataro's affection was one sided, but it turns out that he kind of was Satokos first crush...
Nagisa's expressions were drawn BEAUTIFULLY. It's a nice and heartwarming story, no big drama which I liked.I wish we saw more of Yuuma's side tho.
Οnce again, disgusting for no freaking reason. I was chilling while reading the cute moment and then suddenly and extra with the orange haired guy being thirsty for his "father" .... give me a break
I wish this was just a story about Haru and Ryo resolving their regrets and finally confessing everything they were afraid when Ryo was alive. I hated how Hary just stared liking this young guy and got over his big love. He loved him for years and then Ryo died, come on... it was only six months.....That was hella weird.
same. thats the only thing i hate about this manga. like they dont need to be together pls.
fr i mean I don't mind haru and tsukasa being endgame but the change was so quickly, like, we're talking about his CHILDHOOD friend/crush, he spent almost his whole life in love with ryousuke... and the feelings were mutual! idk i think one year after the departure of ryousuke would've been fine
wait what manga is this bc i forgot fr its been a year since ive read this and will never reread it consider how i didnt like it, but still curious what manga this is since i cant actually see the title and theres no like navigation to see the manga or anything so kindly please tell me the comment mwehhehe thank youuuu
oh sorry I didn't see the year I thought it was from January 2025 lmfaoo it's Sayonara no Moment! In my case I did like it, but I would've liked it more if the execution were done a slightly differently
omg this one, ive actually liked this xbejjsjdjd also i remember tearing up abit
I like how she brings a softer side out of him, hopefully he slowly starts to perceive situations and emotions in a more "normal" way in the near future.
Ι dunno what I missed but I definitely didn't notice the red flags you all saw. The girl has problems but she doesn't seem toxic or anything.
I can't believe people want a 3p, this is ridiculous. I started reading the story because of the couple.I liked how they slowly started to find what they like and the kept growing closer together. Now some random guy shows up, the FL acts horrible and you all want them all together? Kinda disgusting... I have dropped this but I hope it turns out better so I can read it again.
I mean this whole story is to challenge the hetero norms so…
I don’t see wat wrong with throwing 3p or a poly relationship into the mix
But rest assured I don’t think it happens
No dw it's only gonna just two of them
There is a huge difference with having a couple trying new things and adding a random dude into a monogamous relationship.
So what is happening now? I kinda dropped this but I am kinda curious
This author never misses! All of their works are amazing.
