next, he'll go shopping and find out there's no toilet paper, because of corona. why can't he ever get a break?? T_T but guys, ed IS a grown man, y'know. don't be blaming mcqueen for everything. ed made his own choice to do porn. of COURSE there was a possibility that a multitude of people would/could find out. hellooo, the internet. this is why i never sent nakey selfies of myself to my exes... there is no privacy in this world anymore.
Agree with you there - it's not fair that Ed is blaming MQ instead of manning-up and taking responsibility for his own actions.
Yes, what happened to Ed is sad and unfair, yes, he feels depressed because his friends/work colleagues abandoned him, etc., but- that doesn't give him the right to shift blame left and right onto others. He wasn't like that in Vol1.
That said, personally I have a theory that Ed 'was made' to act Out Of Character and MQ was quite artificially turned into a somewhat of a villain by the author to create big drama/conflict (almost Santa Barbara-style) in Vol2 - which is sad.
Vol1 was sweet and perfect with one villain (Chang) in the picture (and Vol 2 had to address that issue), however author was forced? or decided on her own? to create a mess with Vol2 by completely disregarding the fact that she turned Ed's character from a level-headed and rational security guard into an irrational and self-centered...idiot.
When reading Vol2 I do my best to ignore all the errors relating to Out Of Character and try to admire artist's (Jaxx) artwork.
Despite the plot line loosing quality the art is still amazing and I hope very much that Jaxx will illustrate another comic with a great story line. <3
sorry maybe it's cause i scrolled too fast or don't understand the heaviness of words in english (since it's not my first language) but when did ed start to blame mcqueen. what chapter or page? can you elaborate. cause right not i'm just shook by the events O_O
ah sorry my comment from above was for Anon2020 :) sorry i don't know how ot tag
Ed didn’t blame MQ. He explained in this chapter WHY he doesn’t blame or resent him.
BetterLeftUnknown,
The heavy conversation between Ed and MQ happens in ch 50, so if you're reading English translations only- you haven't missed anything yet. :)
Back at the end of February/beginning of March I had summarized/translated ch45-53 for some of the readers at this site.
If you have nothing against spoilers, you can search for my answers in this link, which holds my summaries- http://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/5277610/.
oh okay :O, soul & Anon2020
Thank you guys! ^_^
just this part: "let's be gay?" holy shit i laughed so hard. XD ohh my stomach. ok, back to reading...
i'm so happy. extra sexy time = check, chibis galore = check, happy li huan and yu yang = check. me= dead already
fuck chang. i can already tell from 40 something chapters that he's shitastic. i actually like the unconventional relationship mcqueen and ed have, and it's pretty healthy (if you really break it down). plus, i frickin love ed as a mc. love. he's cool af.
(the sound of my joyful tears) i cannot get enough of heart-warming chapters like this.
but like ogawa chise, i refuse to read the twisted and creepy, psychologically stomach-churning stuff. it's just not fun for me. :/ there's a limit to what i can take. someone having low self-esteem and sleeping around, etc - i can handle that. especially if they find true love. if there's love involved, smut is definitely a-ok. rape, when it's treated as rape, and not glorified. i can even take some incest, as long as they're not blood-related, and it's not all disturbingly degrading and/or violent. call me weird, but i guess i prefer more healthy stuff. *shrugs* i sure do love this art tho...
you are literally saying sorry for not loving toxic stuff, yo it’s how it should be, no one can call you “weird”! weird ones are the rape loving psycho people, so you are definitely okay, also here is a recommendation, read Blue Sky Complex if you haven’t already, it’s super healthy and FLUFFY
omg yes of course i've read it/am following it. in fact, that author is one of my FAVES. pretty much everything she writes is golden <3
oh and btw i'm not dissing ogawa chise, because like half of her works are actually really sweet.
Just because you read stories with rape doesn’t mean you like rape, same way with peope who like horror doesn’t mean they like killing people gruesomely or are involved in an occult, some love crime stories but don’t support crime. I loved the Ocean 11 series but I hate thieves! Everyone has a preference - personally I love stories with psychological, thriller, tragedy and horror tones - those always come with grissly plots and shocking themes but I’m not a psycho. Let’s respect our preferences without calling people names. And I do agree, don’t apologoise for not liking a genre that others do, in fact you don’t even have to explain why you don’t like certain genres. The world is diverse and it’s inevitable that we can’t all like the same things. Personally I don’t like mafia drama stories and that’s ok and I’d never call out the people who do.
if someone likes the rape and finds it okay, that is my problem! i read drama/psychological mangas w rape as well but they are not glorified! if anyone is reading rape where it is glorified AND enjoys it, there is something wrong with them. that’s what i meant
good god it is fanTAStic. the art is just mesmerizing too. *_* let me just say i hate yoonshik with a passion, but those 2 boys just stole my heart. ugh i keep going back to read their intimate moments over and over again.
was that the frickin cutest new year chapter ever written??? warm an fuzzy doesn't even begin to cover it. i just want to cuddle up in bed with both of them!!!
but i do actually feel for redhead. if i went to an onsen with my so-called partner, and had to spend the whole time alone, i'd feel so shitty. uncle pan is being so half-assed, that it's making me kinda dislike him. (i know he did internally admit that his heart wasn't invested in this relationship, when redhead was pursuing him so aggressively, but i wish he'd show more interest in the kid.) i mean i'm an older gal, and when i've been pursued by younger men, i'm naturally hesitant, but always very flattered. ya gotta give love a chance (unless it's painfully clear that the other party is crazy or not serious). XD
I like older guys too...I wish to Redhead a lot of luck
I feel you there bud. I don't actually like that feeling that the uncle might swoosh to the wind and easily live the red bird when he fells like it. It feels like onesided relationship and it f..king hurts when i think about it. On that note: i hate the part that he just leave red bird with his ex just like that for some "F..king vacation". And our bird doesn't know about it. A note with be gud.
