Ok now hear me out ppl. I was like last chapter: maybe the mom is this noir director in her like daily life but then quickly disregarded it bc like how could she have time for doing movies and being in the limelight. But now I thought what if the director is actually dahyeok’s first love, the girl from his flashback. Bc I was like: no way she’s not going to make an appearance in the story in the present. And they broke up bc she moved overseas so there are maybe unresolved things going on. Also she was the first one to ask him about and talk about his love for noir. And she was in his flashback as well as being his first
love. No way she’s not going to make an entrance and this would be the perfect opportunity imo. Like it’s out of nowhere that dahyeok gets this opportunity after not getting any roles. Also hyung talked about how the director thought that the role could be fitting so like either they know dahyeok from the movies which of course would make sense or that director knows him personally and followed his work for years and I mean without adding another character his sunbae would be the perfect person. The director was addressed with
him but what if she used a pseudonym, I mean then the question would still be why no one knows that she’s a woman considering that directors are on set but apart from that this would be such a gag, especially now with taemans and dahyeoks worlds being ripped apart from each other. I mean even if that here wouldn’t be the case this difference in lives will become very apparent in the next chapters I feel like. I mean you already see it happening with tae man having to lie, preparing for a big showdown whilst dahyeok gets a once in a lifetime opportunity he always dreamed off and can’t even share it with tae man his number one believer

I liked it a lot. Considering how short it was, it’s still very cute. Would have loved to see the collage of them getting close in a more fleshed out way. Also especially in regards to juris feelings and how he just fell in love like that and how he has never felt strongly in his life before this moment. Things like that need to be explored and explained more bc otherwise it’s kinda random and weird imo.
I also didn’t like how when they were broken up bc he broke himoris trust, how he talked about wanting to have sex with him again as some kind of love resolve (maybe it’s the translation barrier) but I was like sex and love is not a synonym.
Also and this happens in so many mangas not just here: the amount of everyday life sexism you encounter is so frustrating and annoying. Like the fuck does this delinquent leader of the one school talk about the others ones sister in order to provoke him. “I will fuck your sister”. Like stop shit like this, it’s so weird and disgusting. If you want to insult someone do it with them and not with uninvolved ppl esp moms or sisters in a way to hurt their ego and pride.

also why am I sensing a huge misunderstanding incoming with the actor hyung and tae man seeing dahyeok and the hyung together
But anyways I’m kinda excited to see whether dahyeok will get the role and how his noir will be (maybe it will be very good bc he’s not in a good mood since the argument).
Am curious whether they will make up or there will be some temporary break up later? As always very curious how they will handle the whole serial killer aspect when dahyeok at some point learns the truth

So excited to see more of the boss! I firstly didn’t really think of anything when she was cutting that dudes hair, but turns out the dude was bragging about him meeting pinkie and she was alarmed. Maybe that dude is somehow important for another case. I mean that’s why pinkie wanted to meet him in the first place as a “screenwriter”.
Wait wasn’t the dude he met the coroner for all those cases where taeman and co were killing ppl? And maybe she’s now there undercover bc that coroner could become dangerous or has some info they want to know. Of course that was the right thing to do considering how pinkie had found the coroner or officer and now wants to know more of the crime scenes and those cases

Yeah that’s what I thought too. Wasn’t sure whether the correct English word was coroner or pathologist lol.
But yeah pinkie was talking to glasses that he found ppl that investigated those cases where this mysterious assassin group left their MO. And now he wants to interview them in the disguise of some screenwriter who needs inspo. So I was like now it makes sense why taemans mom stays there. She was thinking that something like that might happen and that’s why she’s undercover or something along the lines

I really love this one! Was always looking for it to update and already reread it twice! I think they have such a wholesome and precious relationship and the communication is on point. Like if there’s a misunderstanding, they resolve it shortly after.
Both of them have the most adorable and heartwarming smiles, and I just really love hashiba and how he is always so caring and helping and the flashback of him wanting to become a police officer and his relationship with his mom are freaking amazing!
I really hope we’ll get another volume as we didn’t get a kiss yet and it’s high time. Also I want them to explore miyanaris relationship with his family and maybe let hashiba introduce miyanari as his boyfriend.
I wouldn’t mind them also maybe exploring the red string theme a bit more.

It was alright. Honestly it had real potential at the beginning and I liked kousaka’s teasing but honestly the kiss was not consensual, the following make out and foreplay scenes that were shown were very pushy on his part. I didn’t like that at all. And honestly I don’t think they really talked about that. Like where was his apology for kissing him and then going, why is he always so pushy and why is it always the typical the uke is a tsundere that’s why it looks like that. Like no my sir is basically not taking a no for an answer and said so a few times.
I don’t like when consensual sex scenes are drawn in a way where it doesn’t seem like consensual anymore.
What the actual crap was that? Like I’ve read the first chapter a few years ago and I remember being excited for it and now I just saw it again and that it was finished, read it and I’m actually flabbergasted at this audacity. Like every chapter from first to last featured sexual assault and then rape. Also not to forget the whole possessive, yandere bs.
To think sasaki was groomed and assaulted in the past, to then basically be treated like this and everything is put under the „dog seme label“, big ass yikes and then it’s conveniently a love story.
Also the grandpa was doing his best and wanted to support his grandson without forcing him to tell it to him but that the author wrote him saying he should live a life he’s proud of, after that dude being abused by his tutor and being groomed into thinking he liked it, is like putting responsibility onto him. Like the sentence and statement per se is right but not the fitting sentence to say in this context. And considering that it resulted in him not wanting to pursue a relationship with a dude he apparently (don’t understand why bc the seme sucks hard) loves, is like wait I don’t think he got that grandpas message right? Idk this story was steaming pile of garbage, I was actually speechless.
You've said it well!
