idk even this is a japanese thing where they've adopted indian terminologies regarding deities but some of the concepts are misunderstood or it is simply a mistranslation
although deva is the proper term for an indian deity, when referring to female deities, the word devi is used instead
this is despite devi also being used colloquially to refer to certain female deities known for their power and also to one deity specifically

I read this a few months ago, but I forgot why I dropped it. The premise and the start are good, but it falls into a gang story. If you are tired of the gang stories that have oversaturated the Korean webtoon/manhwa scene, avoid this.

Oyakodon?

Oh, Lord
You who is most Supreme
Above Heaven
Father of All

Amen

You know what's better than a MILF?

I'm getting autism vibes

Bro, this is a confusing ass mystery, but i still need more

Abusive ex?

Caught up, want more, am patient, but for the love of God I need this.

GILF ALERT

Killing the doctor's kid was brutal, but made sense. You do not want any witnesses when you are trying to escape.

Ah, we're coming to the end. Thank you to author-san and the translating team(s) for the intriguing work.

For those confused:
Takayanagi talks about Schopenhauer's belief that people forfeit three-fourths of themselves to be like others. Humans have a natural instinct to bond into groups. It doesn't really matter how these groups are formed. These groups must share some core beliefs in order to exist. People who wish to be in a group may go against their own beliefs and try to match the beliefs of the group. As the number of groups increases, more of the true personality is forfeited in this manner.
Shoga is quiet because he prefers to be so. That is part of who he is. Why the cicadas? People typically view cicadas as gross and annoying, but not everybody does (implication that Shoga is one of these people). Shoga is unwilling to forfeit that part of his personality (or his implied liking of cicadas) to conform with the rest of the people around him.
This is why Shoga responds that he has only forfeited half of himself, but Takayanagi believes Shoga has only forfeited a fourth himself. Takayanagi believes Shoga is more true to himself than even Shoga thinks.
