I stopped at ch8 coz while i know it couldve been a "first thought in my mind", it just felt out of scale and im not interested to further follow a story where one of them sincerely wants to know more about the other person who happened to match a silly matchamaking app (coz he didnt even think abt the app and just became starstrucked on his own) and the other WANTS to be with him but easily gives up when the app didn't match and already judged him negatively because of his own insecurity...totally dismissed the sempai's feelings and justified it as concern.
It tells me that he wasnt really looking at the blond guy for himself but by how people idolized him (so he imitates him and puts him in a pedestal) and he wasnt listening to the sempai's confession (because see how he interprets it when he overheard them?)
Ofc it's the sex partner who gets to act cool and admonish the coward HAHAHA. The pacing and execution are tedious and it only gets interesting when they manage to have some semblance of dialogue and conflict. Also, not drawing his sex partner's face but making them an actual important character in the end is so last minute lol. Had me a lol confused when another blond guy appeared and some conflict occured.
No big dramas, just a man who wants to survive and be appreciated, heck, acknowledged, for the work he does and ends up being adopted by good people. And despite the manga supposedly being axed, it didn't have much cliffhanger, rather, I thought it was meant to end this way somehow. (oh, but Krue does have a 'you're sus' look to him when he was thinking about Kento's skills lol).
The way he cried when he held baby Loki. The depth of his affection for Tol and Loki. The openness and respect he has for Byaku from beginning to end after their duel. The quiet yet upfront clinginess he has (which I really love from the first works. Makes me cuddle my pillow really tight lol.) Also, kudos to Akil's speech for Byaku, too. I just love the relationships being built in this series.
I scroll past her scenes so fast, i just skipped to when Remelia gained momentum for her revenge and then skip panels when Pina's ugly mug appears again
