To all the people who don’t get Mitsu’s development, it’s pretty simple, even tho it looks like it’s complicated:
he just fell in love
While his other relationships were all the “fuck buddies” kind in which the other was the only one in love, with Yuito he experimented one sided love for the first time and he got more aware of his violent nature because he has found someone he wants to treasure.
Of course the relationship between the two of them gets pretty toxic, but I think the author’s purpose was another: explaining hurtful experiences, the feeling of survival and sorrow and the research of happiness especially through Mitsu’s dreams and bites.
If you want to really get the story you have to pay attention to all the scars details and the metaphor of the vase that occurr pretty often.
the uke made me soooo frustrated but I couldn’t help loving him so muchhhh, he’s one of the most relatable character I’ve read about so far and all he says and does is just so funny xD
there’s a lot of cringe in here but even though we’re talking about an omegaverse it’s all so relatable af that I spent all the day laughing my ass off.
I loved the fact that most of the love scenes were in color *^* and the drawing style is so cuteeeee
I hope we get more chapters :)
Uenoyama is so admirable, I don’t think I would have ever had the patience and the strength to go through something like this, he’s literally STUCK in a difficult situation in which he has to act like a red cross nurse with the terrible fear and awareness of being basically a rebound.
I’m not saying Mafuyu doesn’t love him and I’m not saying Mafuyu is just using Uenoyama either
I thought that after being able to sing his song he was able to move on too, but now I’m starting to think that the marks Yuki left on him are too dark and strong to be cancelled, so he doesn’t have to cancel them, he has to learn how to live with them.
He has to work on thinking about the past and remembering the old days as good days, he has to treasure the special memories but be aware of the fact that all those things happened in the past.
I feel like Uenoyama is helping Mafuyu but Mafuyu is not doing anything at all to sustain Uenoyama...
It’s not Uenoyama who has to do all the work.. love works either ways.
You put all my thought in this text and i agree so much with you. I know I shouldn't say something so cold and ignorant but everyone is so caught up around Yuki this Yuki that, that I sometimes feel that no one appreciates how much effort Uenoyama is putting in this relationship alone. I know Yuki was very VERY important in this story and he left a deep mark on Mafuyu. But he's gone, and mafuyu has to learn to move forward and pour his love on someone else and try to work things out TOGETHER with Uenoyama.
yeah! that’s exactly what I think too
even though mafuyu confessed, to me it still looks like uenoyama is a onesided love :c I want Ue’s efforts to be acknowledged.
I disagree with the latter comment regarding Uenoyama doing all the work.......... he has been so preoccupied with Hiragi’s band and finishing Yuki’s song that the only time they really can be alone is during their lunch at school...... and even then Uenoyama is still preoccupied to even pay attention to Mafuyu when they are alone together...... I am not hating on Uenoyama, just adding that he is also neglecting Mafuyu.
but I think that he’s working on Yuki’s song for Mafuyu, and he’s working on himself too, so I think that it’s a good thing: he’s finally taking time for himself without really neglecting Mafuyu.
maybe it’s just me but I’m the kind of person who empathises the most with tsundere characters who are dependent on the person they love and act submissively (willingly or not) like uenoyama and especially haruki.
to me it looks like uenoyama is the most underrated character, because some people just can’t get over the fact that sometimes he shouted at mafuyu and “didn’t sustain” him as much as he was supposed to.
well, guess what? he’s human as well and he needs to be protected as well!! and he’s trying to face a very difficult situation in which he got stuck with another person’s past and insecurities.
for a while all his life has been around sustaining mafuyu, helping mafuyu, loving mafuyu, mafuyu here, mafuyu there, mafuyu everywhere! while mafuyu (at least at the beginning) was seeing his ex boyfriend in uenoyama and not uenoyama himself!
akihiko was in pain and could not get over his past and it’s basically the same situation as mafuyu, even though ugetsu is still alive (and maybe it’s even more difficult: yuki now lives only in his beloveds’ heart, while ugetsu is in front of akihiko’s eyes everywhere).
akihiko and mafuyu were drowning and needed someone to save them from despair, the first found haruki, the second uenoyama.
the most difficult thing uenoyama and haruki have to deal with is this: THE FEELING OF BEING A F*CKING REBOUND!!
how can haruki trust akihiko again after having been treated like sh*t by him? because akihiko did nothing but taking him for granted!! but haruki’s love is so strong, his heart is so kind that he forgives him and offers him his help.
how can uenoyama cancel the mark that yuki has left on mafuyu? he can’t! but he wants to try to make other marks, darker than the ones yuki left, so he can cover the old ones.
but yuki will always be somewhere in mafuyu’s heart and uenoyama has to bear with it, there’s no escape. do you find that easy? because it’s not! and the proof of uenoyama’s incredibile mental strength is the fact that he actually successfully empathised with yuki, who was his boyfriend’s ex and who is actually DEAD, and worked on yuki’s old demo, even though it basically was a love letter from this deceased guy to his current boyfriend.
like uenoyama‘s sister said: “it would be hell”.
the fact that there are people that criticise uenoyama really pisses me off! him and haruki are not suffering about the past, they’re suffering about the present! I think they are actually the ones currently suffering the most!
what is their role in their boyfriends’ life? do their boyfriends really love them or are they just willing to fall in love with them? is it really “love”? and if it’s not, is it “like” at least? are they supposed to save them? that’s all?
because they’re not two f*cking red crosses nurses.
they need to be loved willingly and completely by someone too.
I hope mafuyu and akihiko understand this soon.
Very well said.
If season two is gonna happen then this is how I want it to end.
ikrr i cant wait for seasom 2, it was this year
