Forgot to say this, but if the SA turned out to be one of the MLs, I'm gonna immediately assume that the author wants to paint the other MLs in a bad light just so they can uplift the "main" love interest instead. I'm sorry, but even though if it turns out that the Duke is not the culprit, I'm still not gonna like him. The bar is so low for me to like him just because he did the bare minimum of not sexual assaulting someone.
"Did you enjoy your little escape" bitch get the fuck away from him. If someone talks to me that way, I'm killing myself. That's like, a bad sign of something worse in the future. If someone sees the way I avoid them as some sort of "escape" from them like a fucking criminal, I'm gone on this world. I'm not dealing with that.
I don't like the Duke, or simply just this archetype of a character. "It doesn't matter how I treat him, the bottom line is he belongs to me" sound kinda icky to me to be honest but oh well. If you find it attractive, good for you, but I'm running away whenever I hear that shit. And why would he punish Maythan from "running away" when he's just doing everything in his life that doesn't involve him for once. Like, going to a school. To learn.
Edit: Omg whoever's reply that I accidentally deleted, I'm so sorry.
I love the pairing of Fuji and Asagi the most. They're both oblivious in their own way, Asagi is an innocent type of oblivious while Fuji is oblivious to her actions that may be interpreted wrong by the outsiders. They're meant to be, although it is also fitting that there's no romantic feelings between them (yet). While the others are one-sidedly pining, those two are just living their life.
Of course, I'm happy for the main characters to have their deserved ending, and of course for everyone who were involved to kill that bastard. But just like Gon, I feel neither sad nor happy. After everything that I've learned about Song, and his wife, and his son, I couldn't really stay that happy. I rather be happy for the main characters' ending anyway, rather than the ending of that rat bastard.
I will never not stop dissing the Duke, especially after he bluntly stated that he can and will abduct Maythan. The fact that he can even hurt Maythan is all I need to be sure that he will do so much worse to him in the future. It's worse that he's acting like it's not a bad thing. Pretty privilege exists to accommodate this guy.
