The Journey to Killing You Episode 4

what a place to stop - ugh now to wait over…

what a place to stop - ugh now to wait over 5 days & this whole ep just flashed by.... oh well - this is so good. i know Kirii is the logical one to inherit his fathers outfit & yet there is a huge part of me, that doesn't want it to be him. it would be perfect if Kataoka was chosen - it for sure would drive Kirii crazy & i really really dislike this dude. but give the preview idk who get's the position at the head & how Kataoka ends up hurt. given how "dark" this has been to date (& as i haven't read the manga idk if this gonna have a sad ending). *******************************************************************************************************also would love if there was some light shed on Asahi's situation & we find out how he really died & who was at fault. somehow have a feeling it wasn't Kataoka. *****************************************************************************************************this is so much fun & i really hate that this is so short, really love the leads & can't get enough of this - which is shocking considering how dark & f*cked this was at the start.

When Love Blooms in the Shadow of Pain

Odajima’s childhood shatters my heart into pieces. No child should ever carry that kind of pain. To grow up under the same roof as an abusive father and a mother who turned her face away is unbearable. His mother gave him life, yet could not protect it. Instead of laughter and warmth, his home became a battlefield where love died too soon. When he killed his father, it wasn’t out of hate, it was survival. And then, the woman who should have saved him asked to die by his hands too. That moment broke something inside him forever. How could a boy like that grow up and know what love feels like? At the hospital, when Odajima trembled under the weight of his memories, Kataoka’s hand reaching out to hold his was more than comfort, it was salvation.Now the title makes sense, A Journey to Kill You. Odajima was sent to end Kataoka’s life, yet along the way, Kataoka became the only person who taught him how to live. Kataoka’s warmth, his teasing affection, his careless talk of marriage, it all filled the void Odajima’s parents left behind. His mission tells him to kill Kataoka, but his heart rebels, screaming no. The man who was never loved has finally found someone who does. And that is the cruelest kind of pain, to be torn between duty and love.Then came the hospital scene. The nurse asked, “Mr. Kataoka, do you have permission to leave the hospital?” and Kataoka, barely alive, smiled and said, “If I stay here, my wife will get jealous.” I swear, this man could be on life support and still flirt like it’s his full-time job.But wait, the chaos doesn’t stop there. When the news broke that Kirii’s father, the gang leader, had died, Kataoka showed up, put on lipstick, and kissed the dead man. I just sat there like, excuse me, what? And judging by the faces of the hundred bodyguards in the room, they were all thinking the same thing. Japanese BL really said, “You thought you understood us? Think again.” And honestly, I think I’m falling in love with how wonderfully weird this series is.
