... what's with the translation? Is this MTL? MTL in a pretty package?
Cute, but bland and kinda rushed. Something that would have helped a lot was if we saw more interactions with the two. But manga like these have to be short so we can only see so much :(
It just felt like it was missing something. I really liked the side story with the old man in the bookstore though. That was super cute :]
According to JP reviews, this seems to be a character development type of story :]
Moratorium in psychology is "a state in which adolescents are actively exploring options but have not yet made commitments."
Man.
One day, I want a brainwashing story where the MC has to fight hard to get the ML back. No "not understanding why the ML has turned his back on her", just immediately knowing what has happened and that he's been brainwashed. The rest of the manhwa should just be the MC fighting to find a way to snap the ML out.
Each time she comes back to confront and fight ML and whoever has brainwashed him (and maybe a whole posse of men), and each time she sees him looking at her like she's bug beneath his shoe, her heart hurts, but she fights through the tears, vowing to bring back her lover.
It ends with the MC bringing back ML but the ML absolutely hating the him that existed during the brainwashing, saying sorry over and over and asking her how she can forgive him.
But I do recognize that the blond guy here is still in the wrong. Like, they've been married for 5 years and bro has not recognized that Celia has been harassed by his staff the whole time??? Genuinely wtf.
(Very obvious predictions)
MC doesn't remember his childhood. The landlord is the kid that he can't remember. The landlord has been searching for the MC for a while now, and this is all a ruse to get close to him. Landlord (obv) likes the MC. Landlord is like. A toned down stalker LMAO. Maybe voice recorders/taps whatever they're called in MCs apartment? Since he knew that MC was going out w/ friends.
Wtf this was written by the guy who wrote the 3 body problem???
