| Mommy be like "no easy way out, boy". Ouch. For a split second I've thought she ACTUALLY came to his house. |
| I mean yeah, that's true that series kinda lost its tension and suspense but it's still very interesting to read. I am giving author some room to breathe. If this is just the start of, ahem, MAIN STORY, it means we still got a lot of stuff to happen. We'll see how it turns out. One thing is for certain, when you binge, it's always easier, especially when chapters are like this. When you read chapter by chapter, you see all the flaws and expect something to happen every single chapter... landofthekwt said: A vision of his dead cousin saves him from death It was his mom. His dead friend just sat there and watched. |
| I just want it to end. End this suffering |
| Life sucks |
| Isn't the author stretching this a lot. Just finish the manga |
 |
| You guys are such babies man drop it if you're not interested, I hate reading these comments |
| That's no good Seichi, there are still some loose ends you need to tie up..... |
| Just binged the whole manga and I'm intrigued, but also frustrated. It feels like an ambitious project to pull off, but so far author was doing well. I have hopes that he will continue to do so. Yet there's no therapist introduced in the manga, but perhaps that's the main point? The fact that NOBODY in the family called out that the mother was emotionally abusive. That most people still believed that it's for the best to stay with family? It's a running theme so far, from what I gather Mother also assumed that a child will fix her, but it only worsened her condition. That the child will be better off seeing their mother, regardless if she was emotionally abusive. I disagree with commenters that are saying that the manga should've ended when Seiichi got into a detention center because the manga wasn't about if he will snap or not. It's more about the way long-term emotional trauma and unhealthy parent-child codependence impacts a person's life. It makes sense that manga showcases how a person after getting out of the "situation" has "moved on", but one trigger sets it off again. Because there was no actual emotional healing. No guidance about what happened. I really hope that the author at some point will introduce the aspect of therapy, not only for the characters but for us readers. Because the headspace of characters is interesting. |

Because the headspace of characters is interesting. I hope so because if there's no healing (at least attempts to do so), this is just suffering porn. If we're here for hundred plus more chapters, Seiichi better start doing something outside of suicidal thoughts. This "prologue" announcement changes everything- I guess now we can be sure than Fukiishi WILL come back. Or maybe he will meet someone entirely new? |
| Gotta be the most depressing stories I've read at this point |

I can't even feel that tension, that psychological horror that there was before. I feel like the author is messing around with this, I don't know about the other readers but that's the feeling I have, there's nothing more to be told here. After the frustration of Seiko getting away of any punishment for doing what she did I kind of lost the "will" to read the story. Also, that thing with Fukishi being pointless contributes with that feeling too. this is just the prologue btw I thought that you were joking...... until I saw this Source: https://twitter.com/MangaMoguraRE/status/1516945745643212801 |
| I really thought seichi will bite it but am relieved that he didn't go through with it. And holy hell this was a prologue 🤯 |

| there were moments before when i agreed with people saying the story is dragging on since i just didn't get what the author was going for at all, but the latest chapters did not give me that feeling and i don't find the pacing that slow either. it's intensely interesting to me to see the aftermath of all the crazy events of the past, and i'm very curious now about what kind of a person exactly the mc is going to become in the end. i'm glad it didn't end this chapter because that would be a huge letdown and a missed opportunity in my opinion. this feels much more like a preparation for something hopefully less predictable than "abuse victim kills self, the end". |
| Prologue? This can't be real, isn't it a translation error? Well, if it really is true, I can't really see how it's gonna be pulled off, seemed to me the story was coming to its conclusion, maybe seichi would confront mommy and things would end with a big murderous showdown or something like that. But prologue? Could it be that Seichi will somehow recover? Is there really any hope after everything that happened? I dont think you can come back from that. Anyway, the impression I get is that the manga overstayed its welcome and the author/editor got greedy. It should've ended with volume 13. (It really should have ended with seiichi running away with his little girlfriend, the whole murder of his cousin thing was just silly and ruined it for me, there was no reason for it to happen, so much that the author had to go for a crazy hallucination dream to make it happen, which just looked stupid considering it was a realistic manga until that point, even thou it was really cool seeing how japanese penal system works for underaged and how a juvie works in jp, still, unnecessary). I think I'm gonna drop it. |

| I only think people say it's dragging is because you have to wait for chapters. I read this manga about 2 or 3 times a year so, I get to binge in batches and it flows nicely. I can understand how people feel like they've signed up for a childhood horror story but, it's nice to see how an adult handles childhood trauma. I don't read enough manga to know if that happens a lot but, it's definitely a departure from a lot of the shonen I read that focuses only on the teen years. I enjoy stories that show adulthood now that I'm an adult. Now, reading that this may only be the start of the real main story is a lot to take in. It definitely felt like the story was coming to a closure. I would like to see how he pulls it off. |
| Seii deep down knows that he wants to meet mama bear. |
| Out of all methods, he chose the one that not only could give long and painful death, but most of all unsuccessful. Can't blame him, though. He didn't seem to had got any help from any mental health institution, which makes me wonder how are that kind of services like in Japan. Are they of so low quality that obviously mentally ill people get no help? I'm glad he didn't end his life and, of course, didn't end up disabled after failed suicide attempt. Ironically, the memory of his mom "saved" him. |
