There is no bento, it was all a figment of his imagination.

I think some people were burnt out on this series, but this was a great chapter.

Definitely agree. The medium is certainly looked to as a means of, at least momentarily, escaping really horrible real life situations.


And then this series comes and says "No. We're going to sit down and talk about them for a little bit."

 

[lasercats]

Good on seiya finally moving on

 

[aveney41]

Jesus...this poor baby. So glad his buddy is spittin the truth. Maybe this will crack that emotionless wall he's built.

Damn. This actually hurts. Definitely child abuse.

I wonder if the mom started hating him again ever since she got ill.

No, disagree. The ENDING of this chapter was pretty good. The beginning was such utter and complete crap. I'm exaggerating, but the beginning was bad.

We have this exposition DUMP from a flashback because the author doesn't know how to build up characters. I echo a comment from an earlier chapter from someone else. The author doesn't know how to do any buildup. It's just straight drama without any depth of character.

Which is all the weirder because we see the author COULD write better. Again, the ending was pretty good. It had depth of feeling. It felt like it mattered. But so much of this series completely lacked that.

Also, as an aside, I feel like the ending of this chapter being at all decent is just because the author continuously did exposition dumps and monologues until it finally made sense. Here, yes, it made sense for the two of them to talk and have a monologue for a little. In the earlier chapters, the author was doing the same thing, but it just didn't work because it wasn't appropriate for the setting.

Bruh...

 

[LeemonReadingManga]

Quite decent development, wouldn't be surprised if MC turns out to be a psychopath.

 

[jonnywarlock]

Ah, cripes. Awful woman. Good riddance.

Here's hoping his friends can help Seiya out of this hole he and his shitty-ass parents dug and dropped him in.

 

[shadowtempestdemon]

hm... so he was prostituted?
