To be honest with you, I hate how the story is going. I also hate how people keep blaming the uke. WTF is that? Let me ask you whether you can remember the kid you were playing with before you were 10 years old? Not to mention the promise!? Please!
The uke grows up and forgot about his ambitious dream when he was a little kid, he also forgot about the little kid who was like his little brother, NO PROBLEM. BECAUSE AT THAT TIME HE, WAS ALSO, A CHILD!!
He hurts the seme, yeah right, but that doesn't mean the seme has the right to abuse him and destroy his life! WTF are you a god or something?? Grow up you f**king idiot!
To be honest, the seme misunderstood the feeling the uke had for him too! The uke said "yeah we are brothers" but the seme himself thought that "NO! We are more than that". He created those illusions and got hurt because of it. The uke has no fault in that!

I think the one who deads in chapter 4 is Noizu, not Riezu. Because when they were taken to the hospital, I'm sure doctor had checked and found out who is Noizu and who is Riezu. Their argument before that prove Riezu didn't want Noizu to be recognized by everyone because they are too familiar that Riezu afraid someday Noizu will pass him and got all the attention.
Well that's just my thought, it's true or not depend on sensei ( ̄へ ̄)

I think you kind of get it when you read the raw :)))) Nekoya misunderstand about Kurokawa feeling since the guy names Kakeru told him that Kurokawa just pitied him. After that, Kurokawa had told Kakeru to stop doing those thing and he didn't like him (I like Kuro because he such a straightforward person (≧∀≦) ). But in chapter 10, Nekoya started to think that Kurokawa like him just because he could turn into a cat, which was the weak side of him. In conclusion, Nekoya just keep turning into a cat all the time because of his own misunderstanding :)))))
My English is kind of bad, I hope you understand what I just wrote ( ̄∇ ̄")

This is the first time I feel the need to comment on a manga. If you interested in this series, please read the novel as well to see the amazing journey of this woman called Aria.
{WALL OF TEXT}
Aria in the novel is smart, evil, and good at using people for her revenge but also very fair, lonely, and weak. She took advantage of people but at the same time, she gave them what they want. If you didn't hurt her, she wouldn't bother to care about you. She always clear about what she want and what she can give. However, sadly I couldn't see that characteristic of her very well in the comic version.
In the previous life, there was only 1 people that really stand by her side, Jessie. Aria's mother loves her but she was a very realistic person and knew how small she was so she couldn't protect her child. But Jessie, from the beginning till the very end of her short life, was always standing by her side no matter what circumstances. That's why you can see in this life Aria treated her very well. She trusted her to do important jobs but also realize her honesty and kind nature could lead to trouble in the future. So she needed Annie.
But those two girls couldn't make her open her heart. If you read the novel, you will realize the one that opened Aria's heart was Sarah, not Asher. At first, she was taking advantage of Sarah, but at the same time, she was moved by Sarah's goodness and wished she could become her true friend. This part of her being moved by Sarah started to show around the part after she met the Marquess (Sarah's fiance) and later realized Sarah really treasured her.
But the weak part of her was the incident she SLEEPWALKING into Oscar's room the day he brought Mielle home. She was desperate, so desperate because she thought she couldn't avoid the future. Oscar was the only person she thought could save her (at that time). This is not about she wanted to get revenge on Mielle (well, a part of it) but mainly because she didn't want to die. In the novel, she was so desperate and anxious because Oscar didn't care about her anymore, so much that she went into shock when she saw him brought Mielle home and avoided her gaze. She was so hopeless that she was SLEEPWAKING into his bedroom and cried, begged him not to leave her. The novel described her at that time under Oscar's view, she was so weak, so fragile like an illusion that anything could break her, she as pale as the moonlight with tears in her crystal eyes. And she fainted, and Oscar carried her back to her bedroom. She woke up and didn't remember anything about it. She was THAT DESPERATE TO LIVE.
But guess what, the comic changed this into she schemed, pretended she need him, made the reader feel she is so cunning.
Another detail which was her sudden growth. In the novel, she was described so anxious about it because she thought the future did not change. She thought she was grown to match the time she died. This what a bit hard to explain. She thought that she was becoming the person she was when she died (in the body). So the more she grew, she feared that the dead are coming to her.
The comic also didn't show enough of her intelligent and hard work. For example, during the meeting with Asher's group. She actually used her hourglass to strengthen her argument (she suggested the idea, other people agree and analyze it, she reserved the hourglass and make that analyzed her to gain respect). This detail showed her talent of gathering information and use it effectively, not a know-it-all like in the comic.
I must say the author of the comic done a really good job. However, I do think that they could do better to show the development of the character. But still, bravo to both the author! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

i read it on boxnovel. just search the name of the novel and include boxnovel on google seach, u will find the novel
Aaa ty!!!
This is why novels are usually better. But the art is top notch. I like how the eyelashes of aria are drawn. In the novel they are so pretty that they are compared to fluttering butterflies, and sometimes Aria's eyelashes are zoomed in in a panel, focusing how beautiful and long her eyelashes are. The artist did a very good job!
I think those details are harder to illustrates through comics because of the art and its very time consuming and difficult to made through this panels. Im wishing for a kdrama or live action for this.
A live action ver of this series would be wayyy harder;;; just their outfits alone is already pretty difficult to do +the setting of the manhwa is also pretty hard to do irl ,,
I understand the expression is hard to draw. But the details where Aria sleepwalking to Oscar room has been changed into she schemed it and pretend to be a poor girl in front of him. That detail really frustrates me.
Wow, thanks for the detailed info from the novel! I love the depth of Aria's character from the novel version. In the comic I did sometimes feel that her character didn't always align / felt a little shallow. How's the quality of the English translations?
