Readers would doubt whether or not Kuro truly loves Iwanaga, and I get that, but it's funny to me that Rika think the opposite. To Rika, Iwanaga only uses Kuro for her duty as the God of Wisdom (take note that even Iwanaga could not argue with that). Kuro and Rika's existence ruins the natural order, so it makes sense to kill Rika, to which is what Iwanaga's trying to do throughout the story, but the same applies to Kuro, would it not? Rika thought that Iwanaga would not fear killing or more specifically, sealing both of them, and she's not even scared that she doesn't care at all. What does that say about Iwanaga? "If you have any shred of humanity left in you" Rika cleverly used Kuro against Iwanaga, manipulating her into thinking that she would not care if Kuro disappears as a part of her duty. Rika led her into thinking a scenario where Kuro disappears and guess what? Iwanaga is mortified, thus collaborating with Rika in the end.
Kuro understands Iwanaga's circumstances the most. She was a child when the monsters kidnapped her, took her one eye and chopped one leg to make her a "God". It is not at all an honourable title to be bestowed on, she's a disposable God if she can't serve her purpose anymore. Kuro understood that and feared for her; she disregards her safety because of her disposability, and she's not even scared to be replaced right after. Kuro's powers were given to him solely to protect and help Iwanaga, as he very much believed to be the case. "In sickness and in health" he said. Iwanaga exists to be the God of Wisdom, and Kuro exists to be with her.

I'm crying. I'm crying. I'm crying. I'm crying. I'm crying. I'm crying.
I don't know about you guys but I prefer the brat (who's literally just a kid at the moment, he's bound to be like that) than Ya yul who literally killed MC with no remorse in her past life. Taking into the account that Namgung treated her nicely too in her past life.
I can already tell Ya yul would be the "possessive" type and maybe borderline yandere. Which I don't seem to like possessiveness is not good for me. But Yeon's ability is really helpful, even if she can't do martial arts, it's a valuable ability. I want to see more of it in the future.
I deleted my previous comment to outright say it IS rape, Woo Won repeatedly saying "Stop", Seo an saying "I thought you liked shoving it in me" indicates that Woo Won does not want to do that right now, hence no consent being used. "I'm not listening to you today" is also an indicator that no matter how much Woo won said "Stop", Seo an will not listen. We can clearly see Woo won is distressed during the sexual intercourse, that should NOT happen at all. Seo an saying "Then get it up" to Woo won is also a way of forcing him to have sex, despite Woo won wanting to stop. Woo won not answering to Seo an's "I thought you liked this" but Seo an continued anyway despite it. Everything about this screams non consexual. Do I really need to spell it all out like this?
Waiting for your student to become legal just to intiate having a relationship with them is not normal, guys. I get it, the intent is not there, the teacher is not grooming the student but it is still wrong.The teacher WANTED him when he was a minor! Adding a number to your age doesn't change that. A minor just turning 18 feels like fucking yesterday, it doesn't mean they're immediately granted the title of an adult. I can't believe I have to say this, but dating a teacher in that age would get me killed. The teacher has more experiences being an adult, having to learn years after years just to earn his degree as a teacher, and then his partner is a freshly graduated HIGH SCHOOLER and just recently turned 18 years old when he is just starting to enter a whole new life being a college student. How is that not wrong??? I can't believe I really have to say this.
I agree with you. But I can't put it in proper words, but I think that humans are fucking complex, our emotions are a whole universe of shit-show. So I think it's posible for a person to feel that, it's similar to having intrusive thoughts because you know they're there but you know you won't act on them. So as long as a teacher doesn't lay a hand on their student even with or without "emotions", I think that's acceptable.. Of course there's different categories of "want", if it was in a more disgusting manner it's more off-putting than a teacher having sort of "pure" feelings of just affecting and love. I guess it's relative to the situation, the people involved, and it's easier to theorize about it when it's just a story rather than it happening to me or a close friend/family. So yeah it's wrong, but depending on many factors it could be less wrong? Idk
It's actually a mental illness to have that predatory thoughts on children, so as long as they won't act on them AND get treated, it's fine. There's a case when they have these thoughts and they don't want it all. In this case, even if it might seem "pure" and "love", like I said, the intent is not there but it's still wrong. It's still a teacher having feelings to a student and the said student is the more "aggressor" in the relationship. But what the teacher should've done is to not encourage it at all. This manga could've been cute if the teacher met and fell in love with him LATER, rather than when the student was still a minor. If they desperately want a student x teacher trope, then make an appropriate age gap between them and make the setting on college. It's that simple, really. I haven't seen that kind of story, it's always on high schooler which is fucking sad to be honest. Age gap is not an issue when they are consenting ADULTS.
People should be more educated on this kind of topic like you
I agree with you. Pedophilia is pedophilia. I'd absolutely hate it if something similar happened to my younger sister/brother.
I feel like u r reading the wrong genre...
i do agree with you .. i feel like it's easier to just let these things slide while reading mangas with all the characters looking similar in age and specially in the "unproblematic decent" ones like these but when you think about it .. any teacher has got to be atleast 26-30 years old and the idea of a person in their late 20s or 30s romantically being interested in someone who's still a kid is very uncomfortable. also yess these kinds of stories would actually be so much better if the younger person was in college or if these two met after he graduated college cause the younger one is A KID and the way they perceive things and their thought process everything will change so much in the coming years. . which brings me back to the point about a 30~ yo being with a 17-18 yo , irl you wouldn't even converse to someone that young unless they were family or family friend ..
The raws in this artstyle is up to date but I'm linking it anyway since a part of chapter 67 is cut off: https://mangagun.net/manga-kusuriya-no-hitorigoto-raw.html
The other raws in a different art style (also has a different name called "Kusuriya no Hitorigoto Neko Neko no Koukyo Nazotoki Techou") has way more chapters: https://mangagun.net/manga-kusuriya-no-hitorigoto-neko-neko-no-koukyu-nazotoki-techou-raw.html
Thanks for the update because I found this manga that way. I love this.
Everytime I see Lady Rishu, I had an urge to cry. She's so young and acts like her age yet people keep bullying her because of that. I'm gonna cry, my poor sweet child. I hope she will get better treatment soon.
Alright, I'm expecting what the comments would be and I'm not surprised. Y'all will villainized women/GIRLS at any BL story (and have zero reading comprehension, the only reason why they're hating her lmao)
It's really not that deep that seal dude wasn't even upset by it she's literally a kid to him (----- O -----)
