A "dramatic irony" is when the audience can infer what is about to happen in the story but the characters themselves are unaware of what is to come. Contrary to the title, as a reader, I am quite uncertain of what would happen in the next chapter. I have only read up to the 14th raw chapter, and to be honest, this series made me hold my breath and clench my chest while I'm reading it. I didn't expect it to be so ridiculously painful. The art is beautiful, but the way the characters (especially the main lead) are portrayed are incredibly well to the point that it managed to draw some tears out. I'm still waiting for the translations, and to be honest I am quite frustrated. It gave me a mix of emotions that felt like a rollercoaster. I would wonder- should i feel sad? Angry? Annoyed? Empathetic? Or stunned? I wasn't quite sure. But the only thing for certain right now is that catching my attention and giving me this much emotions mean that it was well conveyed. You would come to dislike some of the characters for their foolishness, but at the same time you would come to question the validity of their actions. After I gather my myself together [brought by the frustration from this manga], maybe I'd like to emphasize the characters and plot more.
