Keigo's actions don't bother me that much. I do think that he could of stepped up sooner but I thought that he 1) Didn't think it was that serious until Chihiro's last outburst or 2) Was waiting for Chihiro to verbalize his feelings before he did anything about it. At the end of the day, Keigo is a newbie in dating and let's face it. Chihiro is delicate.
My real problem with this was with what that model said to Chihiro. Like, Chihiro is in highschool and this is the first person that he's ever gone out with. And it's a person of the same sex. He and Keigo are just learning how to handle their selves and their relationship. So what if Keigo is a little more open and okay with his gayness. Now, in a story with an older cast, the model might have had a point. But he went and picked a highschool kid who has been dating for 3 months because he thinks his boyfriend is cute.
I'm wid you fellow yaoi reader..I been reading the comments and I think the keigo hate is a tad exaggerated
I feel like people completely ignored how Chihiro kept insisting he was fine. Not to mention he slowly started to avoid Keigo as well. Like guys, Keigo didn't really flirt with model dude. He was never alone with him until the moment he rejected him.（￣へ￣）
Throughout the first half, Chihiro has always mentioned how uncomfortable he feel when seeing Keigo with the model dude but all Keigo did is say the same thing like “I belong to you only” and then continue to go along with the model dude advances. He never notice or care when Chihiro tell him the truth that he is bother with it.
The problem with stories like this is that they don't put in any work into making you like the seme as the audience AND they don't even give reasons as to why the main character loves this guy. If Ryoji had been endeared to us at all during this whole thing then maybe it could have been a different story but you get literally no big scenes from him that aren't him just being a jerk. Forceful, inconsiderate, unfaithful, and rude.
Well said. To me, it felt like a relationship doomed to fail by uni when Ryoji would have lots of attention from lots of "big boobied" girls. If cheating on a girlfriend with a guy is acceptable, then cheating on a boyfriend with a girl would also be acceptable to Ryoji. We see no change in Ryoji as readers, making it hard to feel secure and confident in their relationship lasting. I don't enjoy stories where I feel nothing but pity for every character. I feel bad for Toru because he'll have his heart broken, I feel bad for the megane friend because he's being ignored, I feel bad for the president guy because his pure feelings were refused when Ryoji's half-hearted advances were accepted and I even feel a little bad for Ryoji because he'll end up losing Toru one day. Even if he deserves it, it will be painful. It's just a sad story all the way around.
It's time like this I'm happy the story ends in High school just so I can imagine that Ryoji isn't really Toru's end game. Toru will go to art school and become busy. Ryoji will cheat on him. He'll get caught. Toru will break up with him but this time he'll actually be able to avoid him since they'll probably be at different schools. Then Toru will find a much better art bae. The end.
Again, well said. lol No ending is ever "happy", when anything ends someone is always disappointed, but what we can have are "happily ever afters". Toru deserves a better HEA than Ryoji.
This story is great but everyone who isn't Minjae is lowkey trash. Good looking and entertaining but trash none the less. You kind of forget it as the story goes on but yeah. It's true.
Sorry I meant to upvote!
Feeling bad for her doesn't mean that I don't think that she brought this upon herself. I mean, she probably gonna die and it will clearly be a painful death. If she had been brought up differently then she might have turned out differently. That's sad.
Still, I just can't hold it against Eyama for wanting to hurt her. You victimize someone and that's bound to happen. I don't see a good ending for her and I don't want one. She's not sorry for what she's done. She recognized that it was her own actions that have brought her to this point and so she regrets that. But she's not really thinking about how she hurt others.
They are both victims who turned tormentors. She was broken by her father's "selling" her to rapists. He was broken by her (a friend) tormenting him with ceaseless bullying. But I still sympathize more with him, because she was tortured by strangers and a father she already knew was worthless. He was tortured by a person he liked and trusted.
If the leader of this lab turns out to have orchestrated their situations on purpose (all the suffering in all the labs), they need to band together and take them down. That might actually help heal them both, since both are victims and both are tormentors.
But her victimizing innocent persons vs him victimizing his tormentor is what really changes the lens that we view them from.
Absolutely. She had NO sensible reason to torment him. Wanting him to be "stronger" is amazingly weird and lame. BUT..since she's "broken," to her it made sense.
If the author was that keen on Daiki and Sui being end game then the least they could have done was put in some kind of redemption. Like "Oh, he feels bad that he raped and he was punched" is not redemption. Dude didn't even apologize. And, the manga never even explained why Sui had a crush on this dude even before he met him.
This manga is rushed like there are parts of the plot missing and the author forgot to put it in or my guess is that they didn't completely think out the story line
It's an interesting premise but I don't really want to see these two become end game. I want them to make amends and move on from each other. That's it.
Also, why are people saying that Jin seems yandere? If one of these two has issues, it's definitely Hamura. Maybe some of you missed it but ya'll do realize that Hamura tried to break his own ankle, right? He only hit Jin's eye because Jin used himself to stop him. Hamura is genuinely sorry but... that's super messed up? If Jin forgives him and Hamura has grown past that then fine but above all that, these just don't feel like lovers.
Okay but I wish that there were some sort of retribution in this. Hyungjo didn't really have to work to win Minjae's trust back after hurting him. Literally nothing happened to tall, dark, and handsome. Blondie who purposefully set Jinhan up to have a horrible night as a joke with the drugs gets the other selfish blond. And.....? As a reader, it would be more satisfying if something happened to them or if they worked to show regret.
Conclusion: minjae is so pure and cute and forgiving and kind (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
That explains a lot. I was wondering why he was so adamant about homeboy needing to carry on the family line and about how he had wasted his time.
You guys, I think her real crush is Yashiro. Back in ch 242 as soon as she hears Yashiro's name, she reacts. When Yashiro compliments her, she blushes. I bet when she was working on that movie with Ren, she saw Yashiro a lot and developed a crush on him. That's why she and him are looking at each other on the last page of this chapter.

I think she reacted to Yashiro because of his connection to Ren.
She was indifferent when she first looked up and saw him.
If she liked Yashiro, then she would have recognized him immediately.
She only paid attention (looked up again) after her manager pointed out that he was Ren's manager.
Yashiro has only had one client, Ren.
So, if Yashiro has taken on another person then that person must be especially talented.
Which means that that person, Kyouko, is serious competition that she (I cannot remember her name) needs to pay attention to and eliminate.
She (I still cannot remember her name) started blushing with Yashiro because she is fake and she wanted to appear humble and kind. It was apart of her strategy (of continuing to have a good public perception).
It's just like Yashiro, he recognized her immediately, but then pretend not to when she approached him.
This is why Kyouko was confused! She's still honest and naïve to "showbiz behavior"!
She will not be boasting about her crush if it's yashiro lol. She is the type who loves to be the envy of others.
