Either there's going to be angst or we're all so traumatized from BL that we're constantly on edge. I do feel like they both have secrets (the teacher gives me more sketchy vibes than Guwon for some reason) but idk... I feel like if there's angst it's not going to be with each other but it'll have to do with their pasts haunting them. IDK MAN

I feel like this could go one of three ways; It's going to be extremely silly, it's going to become super morbid/angsty, or it's going to be kinda chill and a relaxing read... which I guess you can say is what happens with almost every comic but I feel like this will be extreme in terms of which direction it'll go. I mean, the ML climbed out of the ground/rubble... He's def not human, that much is 100% certain. He's either a "zombie" or some "otherworldy being", he knew a LITTLE about humanity but not enough to be able to pass elementary school. He's both a mixture of innocence and charm at the same time, you could say he's innocent in the way he's so straightforward and doesn't seem to hold sketchy intentions.
Also can I just say that I've been loving seeing more and more characters with cheek dimples? LIKE BRUH I LOVE CHEEK DIMPLES SO MUCH that I have 3+ OC's with them bruh

Being cheated on really changes a person. Honestly a lot of what Odette is going through is what my mom has gone through. Even after 26, almost 27 years she still is traumatized by the asshole who cheated on her. I wonder how Odette is going to overcome the struggles of consistent self doubt and how things will end for them.

I wish this was more developed, the art is really pretty and so are the characters... But the plot falls slightly flat for me. They have motive and a decent plot, but I think the pacing and execution is what needed more work. I still enjoy this and definitely want to see it finished, but their feelings and their relationship is feeling pretty superficial.... Then again it's not finished yet and idk how many more chapters there will be so this could change!
People need to know that even if he isn't a teenager (although I'm 90% sure he is) he can still be groomed. Those who are in any way, shape, or form vulnerable can be groomed. Someone who is shy, someone who just recently lost something major to them (like a person or a pet or their house etc etc), someone who has mental disorders/illnesses, someone who has physical disorders/illnesses, someone who is going through a tough time, someone who has a hard time opening up to others, old people and so on and so forth.
Anybody could be groomed depending on the situation; usually the groomers tend to be very charismatic people, people with higher positions/more money, people with hidden motives. Grooming can be online, it's not just an in person thing. Usually the groomer is manipulative, grooming is such a slow and gradual process that the groomed individual doesn't fully understand what happened to them until after everything. It is 10x easier to identify when someone is being groomed from an outside perspective than it is for the individual being groomed, and that is because it's being directed towards them. Most of the time the groomers try to isolate the groomed individual or make them dependent on them in some shape or form.
I bring this up because what is happening right now is 100% grooming, Masaki has given a bad vibe from the get-go. He's actually scary, not only did he force himself into Suguru's life but he's also manipulating Suguru's emotions so drastically that it's causing him to get angry and confused. A lot of the time groomed individuals end up feeling angry, confused, and panicky randomly and they usually don't understand why. It's so sad, it makes me feel so empathetic towards Suguru. The only reason I'm really reading this is for him, as I want to see where he ends up. I hope he's happy at the very least.
Holy @#$%&!
I haven’t read this particular story, but your breakdown reminded me of another manga I’ve read where MCs grandma somehow promised him to some god and when he goes back to his hometown he meets said god who confesses that he’s come to make him his “wife”. And when MC naturally objects and tries to leave the god literally told him “sorry, I can’t let you leave” and states living with him. The first time I read it I didn’t think much of it, I actually thought it was cute but the more I thought about it the more uncomfortable I felt because of course MC eventually falls for the god’s charms, but I feel like he never had a chance. Like the god just pestered him until his walls came down. It may not be the same dynamics in this story, but I was reminded of it and how messed up I think the situation is.
wowow the dedication to write all of this (゚ω゚) now that u mention those symptoms i wonder if that’s as shiokaranigai (author) intended, with the way the story is playing out
Yes! He was forced into that relationship and felt like there was no choice, the dynamic is a little different but it's a similar gist! It's cute when you just read it with a light heart, but in retrospect it's terrifying. Imagine not being able to choose who you marry, being forced into a relationship and forced to go along with both them and your family's wishes. This is something a lot of people actually have to go through, but imagine not being able to leave on top of that? Scary
LOL thank you! I love going on tangents XD But I'm thinking so!!! Especially with how confused and irritated Suguru is. It's sad tbh
