Thanks!
There are other options but, we don't have enough info just yet!

That does make sense.
But even then, twould be something trying to fix the world to a certain state, and since we know there's something at least at King of Hell's level looking for our boy...
There might be something to be done about this outcome.

Ah~~ youth~~
Wait till she makes the connection of the manga he draw and the protagonist being based on her.

On the paladin mind, everyone dying now will have their soul cleansed, able to move on.

All fanaticism really.
Won't make it an IRL discussion tho, because discussing faith is always a complicated topic.

But the Lionheart is pure fanaticism.
Like, the same type of people that would hang witches before any real testing, yes? And we've been taught how bad that can get.
So, it's quite the difficult rope to travel as a storyteller.

So, goodbye romance because I really don't want to study? Does not sound like our gal.

This can't be natural causes tho.
Because we saw the number of people helped drop down after a certain point, it feels more like...
What if the King of Hell is trying to force our boy into working for him? The less attachments he has, the easier twould be to control him.

It's kinda hilarious how many times the King seems to be the WORST, until to be proved right time and time again.

But, if you think about it... it means the enemies of the Lionheart are THAT good at hiding themselves, acting like the innocent misunderstood party, that the Lionheart MUST inspire fanaticism to survive.

DIIIIGOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
WHAT A FREAKING AMAZING SPOTLIGHT!!!!!

Threatening him so he doesn't pass?He could then say "I would have to go back to my parents then" and that means losing the room.

I swear these two always have the most fun chemistry.

I had an inkling because of how obvious the setup was turning into our airhead queen thinking this was the Little Mermaid all over haha

I mean, tell her "if you don't pass, your boyfriend will end up meeting other girls while you repeat a year" and she will find the MOTIVATION.

THAT'S HOW IT STARTED TO SPREAD!!!!!!

It's quite the stereotype, and during teenage years emotions make people act too much, or overthink too much.

So, this is now the arc to understand how the male protagonist ended up where he is now.
Since the how the female protagonist got here was already settled.

I honestly feel that the art is a bit over the place at times... too "busy".

But DAMN, it does its job SO WELL. I can feel the emotions so fresh I almost teared up, feeling the frustration exploding, to then the sudden rush of emotions by quasi-confessing to each other (and both missing the mark).

Was about to comment the exact same thing haha

I freaking knew it.
But this reaction is priceless xDDDD
