It’s interesting to me that everyone wants to right allen mana make up stories. I mean I get it we want to see allen happy and him with his dad so they can live a *relatively* normal life. But in honesty this I’d probably impossible. I’m not saying this because it’s impossible that the earl is really mana in there. I’m saying it because if he is, he won’t be the mana allen knew.
The mana allen knew, mana walker, was broken. He was mentally not all the way there, thought allen was a dog, and was generally suicidal and lost. Even if this could be brought back, it would be inhumane. It would be cruel to keep mana in such a state. On the off chance we got mana back with only his memories of being mana campbell and some from being mana walker, the best possible scenario for allen, we can’t guarantee what so ever that mana would love allen, let alone love him more than nea. Even if he DID love allen, genuinly as his son which isn’t that far of a stretch, he STILL would likely choose nea over allen. It would kill him to do it inside, but he’d probably still do it. Worse in this circumstance he could see the time he spent with allen as some nightmare fever dream he spent running from the earl and would want nothing to do with allen because of the stress.
And this is all if mana didn’t remeber the past 7000 years he’d been alive as adam. I mean I know real world science doesn’t matter but in cases of people with amnesia, even if they developed a full personality in the years without memories different than their old one, the new memories are completely over taken by the old in all cases it’s been studied where patients regained them. That means if mana remebered all those years, “mana” as we know him would be swept away almost competent except for a hand full of memories.
Even if we don’t use real world science though, the odds 7000 years of experience and personality development are going to be overridden by a mear 40, considering all the trauma that 7000 surely held, would be so incredibly unlikely you’d have a better chance of being struck by lightning on the moon.
Bottom line, correct or not, I’m actually incredibly sad to say that even if mana could come back, he wouldn’t be the mana allen knew, or wouldn’t be mana at all even with the memories intacact. And mind you this all only I’d the earl right now is actually completely 100% mana and nothing else, which is at the very least debatable if not unlikely.
when I heard that comment I just exploded inside and put it all on this comic.
Watching Nea twist Allen’s face like this is really making me cringe because Allen would never have an expression like Nea does and I’m super impressed that Hoshino manages to convey this.
at this rate all it takes to qualify as nea’s ally is to not call him ‘the 14th’
I can’t believe our boy ascended into heaven and became a literal fucking angel because of how pure Johnny Gill is
The power of friendship knocked nea the fUCK out
