i just watched the latest episode of the anime and it was so wholesome that i'm not even mad about the recent fake update lol. i just hope the anime wouldn't end at max 13 episodes again like some good BL anime adaptations. real life has been extra shitty lately so i'm desperately clinging onto something that will get me through the week and this anime is that something currently
i really, reaaaaally enjoyed this one. i put it off thinking it was gonna be another omegaverse story where the characters just give in to instinct and all. yes i'm aware the mc is a beta but it's the fact that his ml is an alpha that made me reluctant. but Juhyeok and Sihyeon immediately broke all expectations i had and they're now one of my favorite couples. Juhyeok is funny and somewhat relatable and don't get me started on the ml! Sihyeon is as green as he comes. the second couple tho................. honestly i wasn't too keen on reading their story. i wasn't even expecting their story to be in the side stories. the repeated infidelity from the alpha was too much even though theirs is but an arranged marriage. it still disgusts me. i'm glad Mr. Lee divorced him and i'm actually glad their story ended the way it did. i don't want to see a continuation where they get back together even though there's the assumption that they might coz of Mr. Lee saying he's a patient man and that the alpha is trying to change. and there's the fact that they're expecting a kid. you know how some stories insinuate that the presence of a kid changes the flow of the "couple" towards endgame? i hate it for them but there's actually a story to be developed there as well if that's anyone's kind of tea. not this time for me. anyway, i wish the other characters also had their own stories in the side chapters
i just love the way they communicate, how they acknowledge that they've had issues with their respective second genders in the past and that while they still do carry scars of those issues, they've certainly developed into stronger individuals compared to their past selves. through them i can say that stories don't end with just marriage. even as a married couple there are still trials that they go through which makes me wish that other certain mangas didn't end at just the characters ending up together or getting married
oh so that explains why the raws i saw a while back hasn't been updating since last year. i was lowkey worried it's been dropped or something. i just hope the author is doing okay now. like everyone else i don't like hiatuses either but i'd rather the authors put their health and well-being first coz that's how we'll get more of the story later on. plus it sucks when your body's ill and all and i would not wish that for anyone. just having that sort of mindset helps me with "waiting"
i especially hate the hiatuses that comes after chapters that got me on the edge of my seat but i hope the author is alright and getting some well deserved rest in the meantime. Taeju's expression in the last panel got me trying to decide if i was amazed or scared at the fact that the dark energy was oozing out of my screen. and that cousin of his needs to get a partner of her own. it'd be interesting to see her go through all the mushy stuff Taeju is doing just to get on Eihyun's good side
