Suo’s Backstory (spoilers if you haven’t read up to ch. 226)
I have been waiting SO LONG to find out about Suo’s backstory. On the one hand, I’m happy that we’re finally in his arc and we’re (excruciatingly) slowly unravelling the mystery surrounding his character.. BUT AT WHAT COST? D:
I definitely had some theories, definitely considered like a yakuza type background. But I never considered that he would just leave Furin. Idk what exactly I thought his conflict was going to be, but him leaving the town and the school was definitely not something I considered.
I feel everything Sakura feels right now. I want to believe Suo has his reasons. But man, still a dick move just leaving without saying anything to anyone bar Nirei. And he didn’t have to beat Nirei up like that, but then again, these boys tend to fight each other hard to get their point across. Kinda reminds me of the table scene with Eren, Mikasa and Armin from AOT. When Eren just starts insulting them but you know he doesn’t really mean it, he’s acting that way for a reason.
Nirei, bless him, was right about Suo being easy to read during the moments that matter most. So even though he’s always been playing this odd character, we’ve seen glimpses of the real Suo. And that Suo cares about these guys.
If the boys do get through to Suo, will he just leave RC and come back to Furin? Is that even an option?? D: I feel like I’m caught in the middle of a messy break up and I don’t like it 😭
Still though. I really love this manga. I hope the whole series gets animated.
