I’m still traumatized from the ending of Pearl boy and the events in Painter of the Night why can’t they be happy without anyone dying I’m waiting for the chapter where they cuddle cause my heart can’t take it
But the ending of Pearl Boy Is very nice.
Spoiler
. I don't know why people assume that they died. They just fell in the water, Jooha got back his memory and then thex got out of the water. Just like how Jooha saved Dooshik in the beggining.
If I remember well the author even posted a pic of them getting out of the water.
And in POTN nobody died, thex got their happy ending. It might feel rushed, but it's probably because the author wanted to finish it fast due to her health issues, but we will have side stories later
I think Sono’s mom didn’t want him to hide himself the way his father did. I don’t think she wanted him to be “straight”. At least that’s how I interpreted it. The way she asked Yano to help Sono seems like she wants Yano to help Sono be himself more than pretending to please others. I feel it wasn’t fair for her to lean on Sono that way but it’s understandable why she did. I also think that she blamed herself in a way. Hopefully, in the next volumes, we will see Sono and his mom talk things out. I really like how this manga is goofy, angsty, and heartwarming.
I think at first she actually really wanted him to be straight because of her trauma, but when she realized that Sono was hiding himself and unhappy, she felt guilty and prefer him being gay like his father to that. At least she's not really a self-centered woman, realized her mistake by herself, and put her son's happiness first. Unfortunately I don't think there'd be another chapter or volume, since in INKR (the official eng platform) this manga's status is complete
As much as I don’t like how vague the ending is, I like how it came full circle. Jooha saved Dooshik at the beginning and Dooshik saved Jooha at the end. They started over. Jooha doesn’t remember the painful memories of his mom and Pilworm. His mind could be at peace and live his life without fear. And all Dooshik wanted was for them to open their restaurant and live happy. I wish we got more side stories of them being happy and live a domestic life. I’m glad the story didn’t get all twisted and stretched out. I just wish for the artist to release side stories of them and confirm that they’re indeed alive.
I should read this I said it’s cute I said but why am I bawling my eyes out?????
