Ngl chat, I'm starting to get bored... I've always preferred plot/character over artstyle, so I kinda hope that the baddie has some sort of exorcist powers, cause if she ends up as just another victim I might let it marinate or even drop it. The premise is interesting but the execution is honestly kinda meh at this point. Ryota killed his brother is actually better than this lol
Literally. This is highkey bad and I’m glad I’ve caught on otherwise I’d JUDT stopped reading
I agree, the concept is very interesting but it seems a bit messy. Instead of it being a mystery if just appears like the author doesn't know how to map out all the rules effectively. Compared to something like 'The Summer Hikaru Died' or 'MADK' it lacks some substance and is getting a bit stale
Exactlyyyyyy, like the morbidness and themes of the story doesn't disturb me unlike the other readers (I've read worse), but dark≠good, and compared to the other horror stories rn (like tshd) this doesn't have the same oomph that I feel when reading those. It kind of feels too episodic rn. Maybe its a slow burn, but it feels a lil TOO slow for me its been more than 10 chaps already and I still haven't felt a shift/conflict in the story since chap 1. Which is why I hope the baddie actually becomes a problem for them and not just another fodder character
I totally agree. There’s no actual plot. Nothing to get excited about, like questions that need to be solved our actual mystery to keep the readers hooked. Every case is resolved the same way, so easily. As you said it’s pretty episodic, which isn’t always bad but we’re 10+ chapters in and I could’ve just read 5 instead and nothing would’ve changed
Agreed. The art is wasted on a trashy plot despite its promising premise.
I low key expected something like Black Buttler or Count Cain. Low key only
It's just too boring and i feel the author is reliving their misogyny through this manga
Giving the dad an eyepatch tho... Staph it
Also, while I wouldn't necessarily call what okaya feels towards nagare as love, he is def obsessed with him. It was hinted at before, but the cockroach extra and picture pretty much confirms it, considering its lit been 2 yrs and he still hasn't moved on (freak). And if yall can't see it, its pretty much a media literacy problem now lol.
I hope yall realize that acknowledging his strong (albeit unhealthy) feelings for nagare wouldn't equate to people shipping them nor romanticising those actions irl (lets be fr now). And even if people DO ship them just leave them be... Its literally not that serious
Saw people theorizing that nagare and okaya were switched at birth and that's the reason he's so obsessed and tbh it'd be crazy if proven true
Its not completely impossible... but I feel like okaya's weird mom would've known or smth (another freak) Methinks its just a case of face same syndrome as to why okaya looks more similar to maria than nagare does. Also, if they really were switched at birth the reason/backstory behind that would've been a lot crazier, cause.... why? Just why switch them at birth?? For what reason????? And how'd he even find out something like that???
Also if my memory serves me right (Its been a while) one of the chapters showed that okaya started bullying him because he defended one of the victims (glasses kid) from being bullied, so it seems like it really has more to do with nagare defying him than birth switch.. but then again the author did pull a yakuza family in the mix, so who knows...
The next major arc will prolly feature nirei's FULL backstory with hints of sakura's. Then after maybe sakura's full backstory will be revealed. Finally, it will be suo's turn, which I'm guessing is close to the conclusion of the series.
(I have reasons and theories as to why, esp regarding the meaning of their names and the symbols used in the story, but its too long lol)
The other side characters backstories will most likely happen in the middle of, or after nirei's and sakura's backstory, but def not after suo's.
I like minamoto for the mc more, cause as of now I personally find hatano boring, since his personality is only centered around the mc, unlike mind reader who I still find funny and interesting even if he doesn't get to interact with the mc. Though his current goal is to find our mc rn, he still got his own problems and backstory and all, while hatano was obv just created to fck with the mc, which just doesn't vibe with me, esp since I personally believe that mc deserves someone better who actually has more personality than "love interest who's been pining over the mc for years", but that's just me lol.
YEA RIGHT@??@?@?@?@
speak your truth!!
Does anyone know if the author has a twt acc? Pls tell me
author is @peanutbox on twt
May the yaoi gods bless you
The juxtaposition of haruki being oblivious and just enjoying his crepe while shirayuki's face is screaming bloody murder is sending me off
The mothers are girlbosses so their husbands decided to become malewives instead cuz why do yall look so breedable
Hirasako shippers are winning
Also choji and togame being supportive parents frfr
Seems like okaya jealous of yuda (and for several reasons too) so he bullied him... which of course resulted in nagare stepping in to save him, pissing him off even more, and the rest is history huh
LMAO can't believe this jealous hoe
If he realized that he was gay, this would have turned into a yaoi
the fuck you talking about
heteronormativity is the reason people like him exist.
so I'm assuming that your saying okaya is gay but he doesn't realise it is that what your saying
his every action just seems so queer-coded. I can't help but joke about it lol
Maybe your mind is just filled with queer stuffs. I only see a dénonciation child tbh. Looks how he’s treating his parents, is it because he’s supressing his gayness? You are very funny
In a way they’re right tho…he obviously has some sort of feelings towards him that he can’t place. On top of him being crazy there’s ni way for him to unpack them
Yeah but I think it’s feelings more complex than romantic ones, or just jealousy. Okaya is a case of its own, the way he thinks/feels can’t be compared to normal people IMO
Based on the recent chapter... You kinda ate with that lmao
Of course he isn't normal... bullying someone is already a flag that the bully has issues, but with how horrid and inhumane his bullying was towards nagare, I'd pity any therapist who would have to talk to him, and he deserves to be just chaired at this point. But its exactly because he's so off the charts that something like jealousy/romance wouldn't really mesh well with something like him and he would have a twisted perception towards it
