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 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.
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.
The story is really good, but ngl I wish the cover was different. Couldn’t they use the adult version of him?
IKR ITS GIVING PEDO I FEEL GUILTY EVERYTIME I TOUCH THE COVER
Your immediate conclusion being that is a little scary ngl.
nah fr why is he in bondage and everything. especially since I don’t think anything will happen until they are grown (from the spoilers).
I think they meant it’s giving shota which is ew
There's so many pedo shit going on this site, i don't think I'm in wrong to be interrogative.
There used to be a shota tag on here too
fr
Used to be?
?
I didn't notice it was gone! I checked after this comment. But did they just remove the tag and left all the shota in, just making it more difficult to avoid, or did they also remove everything with the shota tag, is what I'm wondering now
Oh ok I was confused yeah they just took the tag to make it harder to find but it’s a shame they still left that cursed shit still on here
