People will likely hate me but I have to say it: That girl is a brat.
I don't know if that is the usual way to raise a child in Korea, but if you do that they will grow up to be selfish and self-centered monsters. Parents have to obligation to educate the kids so they will turn into good adults and not let the children do whatever they want without learning about limits. The world has rules and limits and if the kid doesn't learn it the easy way while growing up, they will have to learn the hard way by having problems as adults. Or, their parents will have to use power and money to keep on breaking the rules for them the rest of their lives.
Though, it is probably not the kind of thing people would worry about when reading a manga. (￣∇￣")
I don’t hate you for this, I see where you’re coming from but remember there’s always children like this around the world! Not just Korea, I was kind of like her as a child, I think it’s completely normal for children to have this sort of personality, I’m pretty sure she will become educated as she becomes older, childhood is kind of more easy-going Don’t you think? She’s still young so she’s still learning, but yeah don’t think about it too seriously.
In korea they do treat children a bit more freely... I guess. It's especially bad if it's their only child and when they are pretty. But like the other commenter said, children basically don't know anything yet and just do what comes to mind. She seems to be 4-6 years old, so.. But yeah the parent is a bit too lenient in my opinion as well, but it seems like all other manga's and manwha's with children they are all like this. So maybe it is an idealized version but I do think it is something to do with culture.
Yes, children are usually like that because they are naturally self-centred. It is part of the psychological development and that is why I pointed out the importance of the education provided by the parents. They are the ones that will show to the children that they aren't the centre of the world. It just bothered me to see how every adult was acting as if listening to all the demands of the girl was the normal and correct thing to do. But, yes, you are right, there are parents like that all around the world and not only in Korea.
Haha I agree with you. My older step sister was like that too, crybaby and spoiled when young. She grew up to be extra privileged whiny adult.
Well Yena seems like in kindergarten at most. She is very much excitable and emotional and think about it this way. It might have gotten worse since her mom left her. She seems to know her mom is not coming back and that she only has her dad now. She's not used to it at all since she probably did a lot with her mom at home playing and hobby wise. She's used to doing things a certain way and her dad is well.... an imbecile when it comes to children's tastes. He knows Yena likes tomatoes but he doesn't really think "Yena probably needs something that's more bite sized." or "Yena would probably like a princess doll since those are popular for kids her age." He only knew she wanted a doll with a pretty dress. Her dad is fumbling around as a father. He is newly divorced and has to deal with the stress and depression from that on top of now being the sole care giver of his daughter.
I don't know how things are for kids in divorced or separated families but I'm sure it's more stressful than it appears in this comic.(?)
Also... I'm starting to wonder how much Yena's mother Ah So Min actually acted as a parent. I mean no one is perfect and kids can be trouble makers but who runs off a bus because someone they've met a couple times is near the park? I mean my parents taught me about bus safety when I was in kindergarten....
The scene when the observing adults in the background from chapter one were saying "Why doesn't he just buy her the doll" had me double taking it. XD I used to be whiney too, not as bad as her, but to some degree, the difference is that I had a strict mom, and different living circumstances. If my mother bought every single toy I wanted. We'd probably be broke.
"I shouldn't have followed them."
Really, genius?!
I would never have thought that people do have the right to privacy and that randomly following someone is somewhat of a stalkerish behaviour, not speaking of rude. Who would imagine that? ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I really love the character evolution in this manga. Kaburagi that started as a mild asshole became more relaxed and truthful to his feelings after receiving Onoe's support and acceptance. While Onoe calmed down and became less headstrong and intransigent. They both are growing up by being in contact with each other. That is what a great storyteller does when creating a story.
Sadly, I have the feeling that this mangaka's works are getting more and more lacking and repetitive lately. Her previous works were better.
I know what you mean... their earlier works I didn't mind reading and enjoyed more than their newer ones. Art is as adorable as always
Ok. I am absolutely fed up with this shitty plot. Each and every one of them, from the very beginning, keep treating him as if he was trash or a criminal for not blindly and dumbly following on his father's steps. Children are not an extension of their parents.
So what if he has a different personality and is good in different things?
He didn't have any obligations to go back to the factory and be the successor. He was completely free to follow his own path in life and didn't need to justify it to anyone. But, everyone started to guilt play him until he became even more insecure and started to think that going after his own life was wrong and that he really was no good as himself and had to desperately strive to be a copy of his father. And his shitty father even recuses to teach him because apparently his son was supposed to know everything instantly. What a load of bullshit. He should just go back to live his life in the city and let this bunch of unreasonable posers to deal with their own shit.
Exactly! This is inadequate management. They should know that good training leads to good performance. What did they expect? God, the characters and the work environment frustrated me...
I am impressed by the number of characters in manga that seems to believe they were born knowing how to do everything. They never had t lear anything. So someone that still hadn't learned something because they didn't have time is "the worst".
Sorry i meant to upvote but my fingers missed it im so sorry!
Don't worry. : )
Yeah, this didn't make sense. The plot ended up weird. Not the best work of this mangaka.
..........(●￣(ｴ)￣●)

Is that ok?
Well the suicide attempt guy wanted a new body and the narcissistic guy has now a change to love himself to his heart's content so.....
I don't see a problem
╮(￣▽￣)╭
Probably the first time that I hope that they won't switch back to their original bodies XD
They are fine...so i hope they won't change back (▰˘◡˘▰) anyway i need raw ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Well, I tried reporting about the issue just now. We will have to wait and see what happens.
