In my opinion, she doesn't really love him. First, she used him as a crutch to fulfill everything was lacking in her life and became dependent, he was like a drug that she became addicted to. Then, she got rid of him to fulfill her desire to punish herself. All of the time, she just used him and toy with him to fulfill her selfish needs. That's not love, it's dependency. I ship her with therapy.
If it was for mature audiences, it did a horrible job looking like it in the early chapters. And even if it was, no one would hate this manga as it currently is being if the tone didn't shift so fast. One chapter, we're all sunshine and rainbows, and all of a sudden, completely unnecessarily, with no foreshadowing whatsoever, we get this bs. It's like leisurely driving into an intersection and all of a sudden, a speeding vehicle crashes into your own vehicle. It's part of life, true, but that doesn't mean it's a pleasant experience.
It's almost as if the whole point was for this to be sudden. Both for Hikari and for readers. You just got to experience a shocking moment firsthand.
Let's be real, the actual reason for most of the hate is what's written in the quote below.
"Let's be real" then proceeds to tell the least real reason this whole shit is being hated. The entire reason is the switcheroo to this bs. Especially, the sudden and overwhelming takeover of Yami and how much of a horrible person she is. I'm not in the Hikari camp. I even forgot at one point that she was the protagonist of this huge pile of dogshit until I saw her on the cover when I went to look at the art section. She could go become a full blown background character, and never, ever come back, I wouldn't give even half a flying fuck. But I absolutely hate Yami, and how much bad shit she brings onto the table. She's a bad character, with a bad story told in a bad way, shoehorned into a separate story, SHOVED to the readers' faces, BADLY.
The whole manga takes like 40 minutes to read at worst. You clearly just started it or just caught up, didn't you? Are you seriously trying to say you forgot the contents from 8 minutes before while reading it?
Stop trying to be an armchair psychologist, you pretentious fuck. I've read this dogshit as it was first being translated a year or so ago and kept a close watch since. I stopped reading a few months ago because of how much the Yami bullshit was being dragged on and on and on and on. I keep checking once every few while to see if it improves, but every time, I see Yami's stupid fucking face and I just get put off. That's why I forgot that Hikari was the protagonist at some point. I just really want Yami to go fuck off, I don't care if Hikari is replaced or whatever.
Okay it's not NTR but there's a term for this similar to NTR... God I can't remember the name but when the MC is in love with somebody but not in a relationship with said somebody and the that somebody gets "stolen" by another character, there is a very specific Japanese term for that. Anyone that knows what I am referring to please put me out of my misery...
