I hate the trope of MCs forgiving abusive parents because they were “justified” in the abuse. ESPECIALLY when the MCs apologize to the abusive adults!!
NO the childhood trauma affected him into adulhood! that doesn’t go away just cause the aunt actually felt guilty all along
He never forgave the aunt. Both Otoha and Asanaga told him to not bother with it. Asanaga met her because she is the only fanily he has left, but they are close with Otoha, not his parents.
he does though. in chapter 6 he tells otoha he’ll try his best to reconcile with her. he asks if he’s intruding, and thinks in his head why he won’t stop hoping (because he wants her affection and isn’t even mad about how he got treated). when the seme tries to call her out/confront her he stops him because he’s “making her uncomfortable”.
i’ve only read the first volume but it’s pretty obvious the mangaka is giving her excuses for her. not mad at the uke but I’m more mad for him.
I mean did you miss the part immediately following this where Asanaga tells him he doesn't actually have to forgive her? And then goes on to explain that reconciliation comes from both sides wanting it, and that doing it for Otoha wouldn't ACTUALLY make either of them happy. In the latest chapter, Otoha is clearly hesitant to bring up his mom because he knows Yanagi hasn't forgiven her. I get the sentiment and hate that setup too, but I just don't feel this is that. I don't think Yanagi forgave her. He said he wasn't going to see her again. Seems like he cut off the family besides Otoha.
Exactly... Forgiving the aunt had nothing to actually forgiving her but more like letting go of the resentment because he was only hurting himself. Thanks to the aunt, Yanagi had grown distrustful of others and would never open his heart to anyone.
Asanaga wanted Yanagi to let go of the past and start the healing process. Yanagi has cut off ties with that part of his life, but she is still Otoha's and Otoha is very much a part of their lives.
Still Otoha's mom**
idk if the alpha is meant to be charismatic while sexually harassing the MC? but he’s just coming off as a weirdo. the boss pissed me off too. he was harassing your employee right in front of you and you tell him you hope they get along???
Doha is definitely behind the memory losses. Maybe he started to gain consciousness after the others and due to some reason (jealousy is a simple explanation but it could be more sinister) he sabotaged them so they couldn’t win the game. Bada might be the “last one standing” because he managed to make Doha forget but it caused him to forget his other teammates (I think Doha was working on making him forget too hence the “memory issues” mentioned).
Makes me wonder what exactly is Doha’s save feature? The others seem to have tapes except Doha. Could it be that if he kills the killer he remembers? That’s the only thing I can think of.
I LIKE THIS THEORY
THATS SO SMART WTF
The theory that if he kills the killer he remembers is an insane theory I love it!!
Could someone tell me if we’re to the part where uke remembers his past life? I’ve been letting this marinate.
Nope i think u gotta let it marinate til like 100 chapters maybe
oop thanks for letting me know I’m gonna wait xD i just want him to suffer the consequences for what he’s done I can’t emotionally handle the suspense
For anyone wondering they’re likely not going to show sex bc of censorship laws in China. I’m actually surprised they even showed them shirtless tbh.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WE SHOULD BURN THE GOVERMENT
Im with ya. I know the new guy in China is lifting some laws. Don't know about this one, but the 1 baby per family is lifted i think.
I’m making happy squirrel noises right now so many new esper x guide webtoons
