Oh my god...... THIS MANGA IS AMAZING!!! IT LITERALLY MADE IT TO MY TOP 5, NO JOKE XD I love the plot and the plot twist, its just so..... UGH! IT WAS FUCKING AMAZING AND SO UNIQUE YET SO TWISTED! Though some parts were rather predictable, they added "Daddy Long-Legs" (or Reinhard) into the equation to make it all the more amazing yet confusing and twisted <3 THE BISHONENS THOOOOOOO ERMEHGERD! LIKE BRUH! On top of the amazing art, great plot-line etc etc etc..... THEY HAD FUCKING BISHONENS! PREACH TO THE AUTHOR (/*^*)/ I absolutely LOVED Ayase Tsugumi as a protagonist!!! GAHHH he's so perfect but in a different way to Licht. Tsugumi is so faithful to his friends despite being betrayed countless times... He is strong-willed and is all in all, amazing. He may be weak on the outside, but certainly not on the inside. oh. AND HE'S A BISHONEN XDD
*MAJOR SPOILERS*
So lemme sum up what happened for the future me that decides to reread this manga... Ayase (the protagonist) has a pen pal(?) that he calls "Daddy Long-Legs". One day, his pen pal sent him to a messed up school that is controlled by a game that determines your rank and your worth within the school. The game was created by a King (aka. Kain) but was also found out near the end that Kain had a little brother (Licht). They work together to bring Ayase down, but Licht ends up taking a liking to Ayase. Kain didnt like that, so he tries to kill Ayase BUT THAT HAPPENS NEAR THE END. NOW BACK TO THE CURRENT STORY. At the start, it was revealed that the previous chairman (Reinhard's father) had died from drowning in a pond/swamp. But was soon revealed that the chairman died at the same time that Kain had became the King. It brought suspicion to the guy from the newspaper club, and so he researched. Later, near the end, it was revealed that Reinhard was Kain and Licht's uncle/adopted father(?). Reinhard had a brother, Abel (also Kain and Licht's father), who impregnated Mary (Reinhard's lover/ Kain and Licht's mother). Reinhard hated Abel for taking away his lover and even the father that he so wanted to impress. But one night, Abel decided to leave and was soon found dead. Mary loved Kain more as he resembled Abel, who she so dearly loved, and left Licht in solitude. Kain, as a big brother, hated Mary because she did not love Licht just as much, so she named her as Witch. They made a vow that they would stay together forever, protect each other and love each other. They killed Mary. Angering Reinhard, who believed that Abel resides within Kain and Licht, and forever held a grudge against them. At the end, Reinhard reveals that his intentions of making Ayase join the school, was to make his goal successful, of getting revenge against Licht and Kain. But that was after Kain had attempted to shoot Ayase, but instead, shot Licht who blocked Ayase. When Reinhard tried to kill Kain, Ayase blocked him and resulted to him being shot himself (BASICALLY PUTTING LICHT'S SACRIFICE TO WASTE XD LOL). Reinhard, realizing what he had done, decided to shoot himself. And thats where it ends. Kain, who was uninjured, went missing(?) we dont know. But the scene changes to Ayase visiting Reinhard's grave (RIP TT~TT) along with Oscar, Licht and Mark (who was Ayase's first friend awwwwww) XD NOW HE TRULY HAS FRIENDS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO [The end]
