Same artist who did boss in school or whatever?

This went from 0 to 100 real quick. I mean, the parents didn't think their son would need them when he woke up? Getting justice was more important than helping the boy live? I get the translator's note at the end and the cultural emphasis, but really? Now the kid is left to his aunt or to himself without parents to provide for him.

@Elroy79 Statistically speaking, people who are in a coma for a prolong period of time never wake up and those that do have a lot of health issues resulting from their coma.

@Elroy79 Lol right. Irresponsible parents. Majority of people who performed self-immolation actually had psychiatric illness. That's why they can't think clearly and rationally. These parents just abandon their son. They escaped the world and just throw all responsibility to raise their son to the aunt. What if the aunt then abandon him? What if then no one will pay for his stay in the hospital? The hospital might have to euthanize the kid. The parents may just 'kill' their own son. They just make things worse, now when the kid wake up, the kid will blame himself for 'killing' his own parents. Worse, the kid can also join to go do suicide.

@Petnavis,

I'm assuming you're implying the parents thought he'd never wake up. Ok, he still needed someone to pay his hospital bills while he laid there. He still needed someone to make medical decisions while he laid there. It appears to me from the story, the parents knew his aunt would step in so they off'd themselves for justice. I still see that as irresponsible as a parent myself. If something happened to my children, I wouldn't commit suicide to try to get justice for them. Especially if they were minors and still needed me, especially if they were laid out in a hospital bed and needed me to watch over them and make sure euthanasia believing doctors didn't come along and off them. If I'm wrong with my initial assumption and you were making that statement for some other reason, disregard.

As far as comas go, I see it as an avenue in medicine we don't fully understand. I've heard qualified medical practitioners make convincing arguments that, depending on the type of coma, it's the body's way of healing from serious physical trauma. Also, if we're going to play a numbers game, I'd argue that it depends on the coma. One type, sure, based on experience, not mine, the medical community's, shows they're less likely to wake up, another type based on experience, shows they're more likely to wake up. It's not a broad decision across the board when it comes to comas.

@Moth,

Exactly. There's a lot of problems with parents just up and committing suicide for justice while they have a child laid up in a coma.

 

[ShinRinyoku]

woah intense

 

[SweatyBrie]

Unrealistic. The hospital have to check his insurance first. He also has to wait in line.

When I was working in a hospital in the city, I saw a construction dude get his eye and part of his skull pierced. He went to ER and had to w8 there.

(Part of this is satire but the anecdote isn’t)
Glad to learn about the part of Korean Justice system. I knew that there was some injustice toward foreigners—not recognizing any rights for them. But, the neglect of their own ethnicity is even more depressing in reflection to how they treasure the struggle of their ancestors.

 

[Ekfreet]

Stupid. The obvious option would have been making the parents die in accidents as well. I guess that letting them make all this noise was for the sake of the plot.

 

[Phr31]

When I reach the point where his aunt said that the parent got suicide the first thing that come to mind is "why did the parent just go and leave him like what???" and then "the frick this aunt just go and drop the bomb??" but then again his been in coma for almost a year (the parent must be gone through a lot more stuff, which empathize why the mc said that he just been "sleeping", I mean obviously its not his fault), I hope the parent already have a plan before doing that, maybe leaving something behind ;-; but the aunt tho hmmmm maybe she just so sad and stress :v

 

[Alex-dono-sama]

"Well God Damn!!!"
That is my only reaction to this chapter.

 

[lionfromnorth]

Time for some frontier justice.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

I cannot take this premasis seriously. It's a joke. The author might as well add that the souls of the parents are now forever locked in a cycle of eternal torment in the deepest depths of hell.

There is absolutely no reason for the parents not to be bribed with bags of money for them to shut up.

 

[gurtsquirt]

@WhiskeyWolf
Your only critique is that the parents should of taken the money? I can accept that, its unjust and there is seemingly no end to the sons coma.
I don't understand why the dad immolated himself. If people didn't care about a kid who was beaten into a seemingly indefinite coma then why would they care about a dead guy?

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

@gurtsquirt No, my critique is they offered them little money, as if to spite them. At least that's the feeling I get when reading the description.

 

[draige]

Boss in school I knew this art reminded me of something good manga to btw

 

[KamiNoKitsune]

...Did she seriously think telling an unstable patient about his families gruesome deaths in detail while making hints that it was his fault FOR BEING IN A *COMA* WAS A GOOD IDEA?!
It looks like she's the type to rile shit up for fun.😧

 

[Mushy_Marsha]

Should have posted it on reddit, dumb parents smh

 

[LoyaltyFriends]

Hi-key hope the MC dies and gets reborn

 

[TSwrangle]

his aunt has a bad way of explaining stuff
making him hear this while he is in bedrest when he didnt even ask about his parents is untactful
