I was thinking about the "plot twist" that the author planned and I think I came up with a plausible idea for what they were trying to plan. I think the plot twist was that jihye's death was actually all in his mind and that was his actual mental illness.
TL;DR : If you read the manhwa with the idea that the death itself wasn't real a lot of stuff makes sense
//////This is my analysis here but I didn't type everything (got too long). Reply for more //////
If you look at the beginning youcan imagine someone who was looking after a person who was mentally sick acting the same way as Jihye was. Especially at the scene when the mother prepares seaweed soup (which is a birthday food) for Jihye's birthday and she cries at the fact that he "forgot their promise" but returns back to normal.
She got upset but then remembered that he was sick. The mother never really achknowledges the idea that she killed Jihye and you'd think that such a serious and important thing would be talked more about right? But if it's in his mind it would make sense that we only hear it from his perspective. Even in the letter she leaves when she dies she never mentions it
Plus this would also explain why he was able to physically push her outside the restaurant after storming away from his uncle. As well as that, the uncle just talks to his as if he is a bum but never talks at all about the death of his girlfriend which would normally be taken into account by people who are struggling. Especially just after 4 months.
Other than Hyunwoo and Jimin (as he could have been told about the death at the beginning to make things easier) nobody else explicitly references Jihye's death. His mom doesn't talk about it at length plus we never see Jihye's parents in the mix of all this. Him setting up hyunwoo with another girl was probably his mom's desperate attempt to focus him on a girl who he didn't think was dead. I think when he first had that confrontation with "Jihye apparition" it actually was Jihye but she ran away and after that she died of the endometrial illness. But that final bit is real guesswork from me
Hey yall I'm seeing a lot of hate about Jinha but I'd just like to put in my two cents about Siwon. If you haven't read the comic SPOILER ALERT. SPOILER ALERT. RUN AWAY, DO NOT EXPAND!!!
-
Nah I can't get why you guys are so for Siwon and against Jinha. Like did you see the kind of shit he was pulling in the villa with Seonyun.(before author too the break ofc)Like FR do you guys not remember how fucking shitty it was to read about Siwon moaning, barely doing shit about anything despite the fact that HE WAS WITH JINHA. Like I can agree, the way Jinha was with Seonyun was nasty esp in front of Siwon but with his intentions it DOES NOT COMPARE WHATSOEVER.
GOSH, sorry for that rant folks. Just needed to get that shit off of my chest bc I see tonnes of ppl talking shit about Jinha saying that Siwon deserves better but nah bro. Just nah.
Btw just letting yall know that the best episode in this is CH 58 btw, the valentines/white day/jinhas birthday ep I think. (It's been a while since I read this so don't crucify me if that's not exactly right)
I totally agree with u! Despite the fact that i really dislike what Jinha did, Siwon's reaction to his situation was pretty irritating too. I wish i could say it was the incense fault but i wanted Siwon to at least put up more fight lol
Nobody is rlly cheering for any of the characters to be shipped. Some people actually thought it would've been better if they all just went their own ways... I think so too.
The story at the beginning was really interesting! I spent 8 hrs reading the 50 chapters or so at the start and waited for more!! but near the end or so, it got rlly irritating and frustrating on how they werent rlly acting like an.. actual.. person would in such a situation??? ik this is all like fantasy and stuff and it doesnt need to be 100% realistic-- but there is a line and this was a bit too much.
one thing i can only say that's good is the damn art. The art is beautiful and i love the colors!! I wish the story was a bit better though- this could've been huge and a bigger success..
Yikes.. sadly, i've got to agree. The art was actually really stunning! It was one of the reasons why I clicked on this manhwa... but the story wasnt what I was expecting??
I'm genuinely confused by nejima's thought process towards liking nisaka. Like the dude loves you and you tell him that "I like you too, but I can't reciprocate your feelings because I like someone else" Like personally it feels like such a terrible way to reject someone. Like is it even a real rejection? He is basically saying, I like you too but I like this other person more but if they weren't here then we would work out. That is just such a painful thing to say to someone else. Maybe I'm just being naive and he needed to hear that "straight truth" but i just think it in and of itself is wrong. Even if we look at it frm misaka's perspective he is more or less emotionally cheating bc he still likes nisaka (if his feelings are even real). I'm growing a love/hate relationship with this boy right now bc I have to applaud his effort at emotional growth, empathy and understanding
TL;DR : Don't hurt my precious nisaka anymore ╥﹏╥ ╥﹏╥
Guys no joke this is one of my favourite manhwa. Thanks so much to Xeinfor putting up with all of that but we need to band together and try to get this serialising again!!! Anyone who wants to try pls hit me up and let's all work together to get the manhwa we love up and readable here again

I'm new to this too but if someone has raws or an acc on tappy toon then mail me and then we can try post this stuff up. If raws then ill try clean but we will see what i can do. I can translate chinese but i dont speak korean
Thanks so much (づ￣ ³￣)づ, ヾ(☆▽☆). I really appreciate it
I know tonnes of people have said it as well but I love how the author makes this so realistic. I've loved someone before and it was and is so hard to try and get over it but he needs to heal. Eat some chicken, get some sleep and make yourself feel better.
I loved when the woman said that he should be honest and let the feelings float away. It really is all you can do. With time the feeling will numb... Gosh I love this author so much and I love this story even more than I did before
"Eat some chicken, get some sleep and make yourself feel better."
That will become my life philosophy(づ￣ ³￣)づ
Can we just remember that MD just said that he always wanted to see subs MATING like i started crying (≧∀≦).
