I love love love this story though. It’s funny, so moving and does a great job of exploring how humans would react when the world was ending. I think those parts along with the exploration our very human fears that constantly make life a struggle with yourself and the inability to move on to. That sort of human pain that we all experience and how it would play in this situation, so well done.
Ritsu is a damn hoe and everything he says is out a of a cheaters handbook. He is a very real and fascinating character. I really wish I could trust him and it grinds my gears that removing temptation was the route he went with, living alone in the mountains?? Sure one year penance is great and all but fundamentally as a person, he really has to examine why he cheated, the disregard of someone who loved him dearly is so painful to read. He is extremely fine though.
The MC is interesting too. he was a human with faults. When he thought he was special I just went, oh honey… I think most of us could relate to him. I wanted to shake him so many times. He’s been hung up on this guy for years. Heartbreaking.
The 16yo. He’s funny af and so accurately a teenager. Annoying, sweet, so naive, selfish and horny. The whole him having supernatural powers arc was hilarious.
And finally Hashimoto (MCs BFF) is the goat. Him being there for the MC was so sweet and touching. The text he sent to Ritsu just going “no” love it. But really, I would keep the MC miles away from ML if I was their friend.
