On the one hand, I'm always happy to see a story that can cut to the chase and doesn't string the reader along for 100+ chapters of will-they-won't-they filler. On the other hand, it really begs the question of why the other girl was even introduced, unless the author plans on continuing the...
I wish I could say that I'm surprised that the bishie orphan turned out to be royalty, but it's such an overused trope nowadays that it would be more shocking if he was some no-name commoner.
I know it's the entire premise of the manga, but I can't help but feel bad for the guy; he thinks his wife despises him and is constantly putting himself down because of it.
@Fushiginiku Thanks for that. I often pick these up only to find that I'm supposed to be hoping for the protagonist to get together with irredeemable trash male leads. At least I don't have to waste my time now.
@Lord-Raine Yeah, because a lord would only have himself and his daughter in their household, and couldn't order someone else nearby to kill his daughter. Cool to see you make the jump to calling people autistic though.
@Lord-Raine
I understood that part, but what escapes me is why he wouldn't just do it himself rather than send a messenger through enemy lines to an assassin, who then has to make it back through enemy lines to kill them both. At this point I've decided not to question it and just accept it as...
@DirkHardpeck This whole time haven't considered the idea that he could be older, even though there's no evidence to the contrary. The best case scenario here is a college freshman dating a girl who is about to enter high school, which is at the very least uncomfortable, if not straight up...
@DirkHardpeck I don't think it's the norm for highschoolers to have their own place, so we can safely assume he's at least college aged (18). This is just my opinion, but it's in no way acceptable to be dating a middle school girl at that age.
I was curious about whether I would want to read this series and thought I'd skim through a couple chapters to see what it's like. The initial premise of her not being a virgin isn't really an issue for me, but if her first love is an adult while she was in middle school, then I think I'll skip...
@Oeconomist I can't tell whether you're joking or being sincere, but in an earlier chapter Nijika explains that Ryou actually gets a lot of pocket money but wastes it all on instruments. The hunger aspect of it is exaggerated for comedic effect.
Read this thinking it would be a music themed Hitoribocchi ripoff, but I actually really liked it. It also leans a bit more into the loner aspect than Hitoribocchi does.
@WhimsiCat I got that part, but why not just commit suicide then? Getting the assassin involved seems like a convoluted way to kill yourself and your daughter, especially since it seems like there isn't much time.
