It seems that Gen has always been an onlooker (or 'bystander') while growing up. Witnessing Reiji's mother and Reiji himself being abused by her husband but not being able to do anything as a child can be deeply affecting. He feels partly at fault, partly responsible for his father's actions...
Also, I feel like people shouldn't jump so quick to call Nine a toxic and manipulative asshole who deserves to be cancelled.. His behaviour definitely is unacceptable now, and he needs to learn to respect Melissa's freedom and personal boundaries, that's what character developments are for. I've...
Almost didn't recognise Gen here lol.
I do feel bad for Reiji's mother. She's been through a lot and she obviously loves Reiji a lot, but it's clear that she's pretty mentally unstable as well. I hope she and Reiji can get the help they deserve along with Nagi and Chako.
Does no one think that P5 is weird? Why is one of the Heaven's asking Shiigun to elaborate on why Ebisu and the others aren't there if they were the ones who didn't allow them to come in the first place?
Also, I personally don't think that Yukine is the only shinki affected by the God's...
It was previously mentioned that Takemikazuchi was considered one of the 'rebel' group (those who participated in the covenant)... I wonder if Amaterasu will decide to kill them in order to truly 'cleanse' Heaven? Might be a good place to also bring back side characters like Kiun who is...
@Tastytoaster I personally don't think this feels forced, the author's story telling style is to show and not actually tell, and from previous chapters we can see the subtle sexism/misogyny from Chako's dad too. It felt like he probably didn't like Reiji that much, there could have been more...
Misogyny from the teachers at it's best... Reiji's "privacy is at stake" so he gets let off since he's motivated in his studies, but Chako gets humiliated in front of two adults as if it's her fault, and possibly her parents later on too? It takes two to tango lmao.... Their priority should have...
Just some thoughts because I really don't know at this point:
Could Esemori might have had a brief relationship with Reiji's mother when they were younger? Judging from the panel where she was drenched and wearing a uniform, it's pretty obvious that she was the girl who attempted a lovers...
Don't get why they're comparing Yuriko with Hori when Yuriko only slapped the girl out of self defense..., while Hori is just straight up abusing Miyamura without even listening to reason lmao
@Vieanh that would be too impulsive.
1) There are other nobels and butlers in the room, we don't know how powerful Uncle is at the moment, and should they try to harm him, Athy and Felix alone can't ensure the safety of the other people.
2) Jeweled eyes are an indicator he's not an imposter...
