Yeah I agree. It's pretty bold for an author to extend the story past Jiang He securing the baddie like most manga/manhua/manhwa, but the switch up to actually giving us a pretty realistic view of long-term relationships and the developments of how people age and mature is very good. Not the...
As a twist to your idea, what if instead Minoru murders and replaces someone else in Wataru's school or personal life? With how much Minoru despises her it wouldn't be surprising if he instead went the long route and tried to terrorize Asahi by unraveling her hold over him. At this point all she...
Her logic i guess is to get back at him by getting close to Wataru while simultaneously trying to find a way to get rid of the ghost Minoru. I'd wager she understands now that co-existence is and was never possible with Minoru, and that instead of getting him to like her all she cares about now...
To add onto your thoughts with the additional details we got from the most recent chapter: I don't really think Minoru tolerated Asahi, but that he outright only spent time around her due to his jealousy towards her. It's heavily implied at this point in the story that Minoru had some sort of...
The most scuffed part is that Minoru literally has all the power in the situation. I don't think Asahi could even get rid of him at this point. No matter what happens Wataru's gonna deal with some bullshit 🤣. Either deal with the fact his dead brother's back and his childhood friend's sus af or...
Id wager that the last part is either
1. Minoru is paranormally manipulating him via the mark to subconsciously talk to him
2. Wataru is gradually realizing that he loathes his brother due to him taking Asahi's affection, and is ashamed because... well it's his dead brother
I'm actually pretty...
Minoru wants romantic(?) love from Wataru. Wataru wants his feelings reciprocated towards Asahi. Asahi wants to be the sole object of Minoru's affection. Feel bad for Wataru considering he's caught between his psychotically obsessed childhood friend who's in love with his deceased brother, and...
I have a feeling later on in the story it'll show what life was like for Wataru and we'll see how controlling his brother actually was without him knowing. Even after death he's just not leaving him alone
Minoru's comments about Wataru in context now are pretty fucked ngl. His first immediate thoughts after seeing him again after he died was "you're an adult, but youre MINE"
Also Wataru's line about loving those who come back inexplicably I feel are very relevant. It's clear that none of what...
Looking back at the other chapters, there are a lot of signs that point to her having an unhealthy obsession that I (and possibly many others) didn't notice.
