I honestly thought of this as the best fucking manga in the past when it was on it's glory but now I think it's just kinda mid.
Firstly of all Kurose is actually so unprofessional like why would an actual doctor sleep with it's patient? Also seriously? Are we all gonna ignore all the dubcon?
Secondly, both of their parents were shit.
Shiratoni's dad legit fucking fucked a teenager and he was a fucking teacher??? Bro??? And Shiratoni never saw what was wrong with that? And now he wants to fucking reconnect? Nah man if my father ever does shit like that with a minor I'm gonna fucking cut him off my life forever and I don't give a fuck about what happens to him.
Kurose's parents are not as bad but they're still pretty bad. The mom is a fucking narcissistic bitch and the dad should just go fuck his work. I hope everyone here know that neglecting your child is indeed abuse. With how his parents didn't give a shit about him I'm surprised he didn't turn worse.
Lastly, I hate how they never actually talked with each other about the reason why Shiratoni actually has mysophobia. Like fr? No talking about the past trauma to make things actually ok? Y'all I'm starting to doubt Kurose is an actual psychiatrist. Shiratoni might've gotten better than he was in the past but I wholeheartedly believe that he deserves to have an actual professional psychiatrist who'll tell him that he's a normal guy and that he was never in the wrong as a child. Also I've seen some arguing about that schoolgirl who fucked the dad and about not blaming her for everything and I agree. She is indeed not to be blamed for everything. But she is still a fucking bitch tho and I wish she fucking payed properly for giving Shiratoni trauma.
In conclusion, this was indeed really mid for me. The art style is good and all and it did made me read it from start to finish but I i probably won't be reading this again in the future. This is just my opinion tho and I understand if y'all don't feel the same so let's just ignore each other and respect each other's opinion.
I agree with you. It just doesnt age well. I remember thinking how good this manga was back in high school when it first came out. Few years later, I got into uni, I reread it from the start to catch up with the latest chapter and damn I realized how mess up this whole thing is. That whole therapist/doctor using their patient's mental illness to get closer to them just give me the ick.
While yes I also hate how Karl legit punched his brother's boyfriend, what I think is really important is that after a talking from his family and thinking on his own he realized how bad his thinking is and he recognized that he needed mental help. PLUS HE SAID SORRY AND HE ACTUALLY GOT HELP. I really want to read his and his boyfriend's side storyyyy.
At first I was really grossed out by him because I thought he had a creepy brocon shit going on but turns out he was just really worried about Keaton being played again since he pretty much looks like such an easy prey. What he did is still overreacting and wrong but this made me see him with another light
No more baby and child raising arc?... Sadge.
Them as babies were so fucking adorable like bro I need more than 2 chapters of the cuties(╥﹏╥)
Mika's probably a highschooler at the time of his babysitting arc for natsu so the age gap is probs around 15 or more. Tbh I also hope the age gap isn't that big and that natsu is the first one too fall PLUS they only get together when natsu is 18 since cause if not it's gonna give me the creeps... I've been reading for years so I'm used to age gaps and I low-key love it but not the ones where they knew each other since babies and the age gap is 15yrs cause those ones are just creepy for me in most cases cause like you literally changed their diapers(╥﹏╥) well that's just me and I've read way worse so I'm gonna give this a chance since I love this storyy
The poor president being told things she doesn't want to hear XD
Also the fact that Miki's favorite food are gummy bears is the fucking cutest shit I've seen today like wtf?? How can he be this fucking cute??
Also I'm so glad that aoba let miki go easily when he realized that he was at fault for not facing Miki's feelings earlier before he thought he's gonna get stolen. He's so fucking real for actually being mature like damn a mature person in a yaoi manga? That's rare LMAO
Yi-Ho's smile can light up my whole fucking country at ease XD
He's so fucking adorableeee
