I'm on Ch 10 so the story has captured my interest and I wondering how it's going to end.
The manga revolves around a problem: the two main main leads are bound together through an act of crime. He's kidnapped her. She's grateful for being swept away from abuse from schoolmates, her parents, and even her teachers. He's taken her for selfish reasons so he won't be alone, but on their own they seem ready to kill themselves.
The time they spend together is an act of being happy and slowly making a routine but secretly understanding that their way of life has to, at some point, end. Even the girl, who insists on the deal of marrying him when she's older or committing suicide if they get caught, understands this.
It's frustrating to me, as a reader and American, that they aren't more honest with the negative dread they both feel. I wish they would just blurt out their fears and hug and promise to never give up, but they don't. I'm really curious as to how it's going to end. The only happy ending seems to be the one not going to happen: aka the sappy and unrealistic ending of them being happily married.
It takes to chapter 10 to get into details about who the guy might be as a person interacting with people that aren't Sacchi, the kidnapped girl. It's a good thing, too, because if all this manga did was lament on how sad it's going to be when they can't be together anymore, it'd get boring fast.
Female lead- 14
Male lead- He's lied about everything with his identity but at one point he said he was 26 to a coworker.
