That super powerful alien (that Mori has the mark of on his cape) or one of its close underlings fell in love and somehow had a child with a human. Something happened to the human partner so after they found Mori in that basement they decided a human orphanage would be better for him to grow up in since he's more human-like than alien. But when he disappeared they obvi went looking for him. I think the one we saw recently wasn't the parent though, just works for the parent.
I have a bad feeling the human parent might be dead. If that's the case, I hope Rider becomes Mori's other adoptive parent.
Sometimes these flop on the comedy part but this one is actually pretty good at it. I loved the 70's shoujo bit at the end of ch 12 lmao. Also, the ML has an actual personality! I like the fact that they squabble, especially because it seems innocent enough. They have the emotional intelligence to tone it down when they're talking about something serious, so I see no harm in it. It's the whole "They fight like an old married couple" trope lol
But I think it would've been more interesting if they had more chapters to play around with the idea. Like, beastmen face discrimination in most cases, so seeing Aleksei deal with that, along with the confusion/fear of turning into a human when he didn't even know he WAS a beastman, would've been a good way to add some angst. We also didn't get to see any battles with both leads after he turned human. I think seeing their chemistry on the battlefield after they became a couple would've been cool. It just felt too short and not fleshed out very well.
I want her name to have characters from both Kwon's and Ho's names since they're her dada and papa (╥﹏╥ )
