it keeps saying things like “it’s her fault for wearing that shirt or making that face”, and i know that this shit is common among the smutty manga but this! this is to a whole other level! it got to the point where i couldn’t read it anymore and i didn’t care about the characters in the slightest. i remember one scene specifically where they were in the restaurant and touya steps away and aoi or whatever the hell his name is is approached by some dudes and they flirt with him and then when he expresses his disinterest, they get forceful, grab his wrist, and say all this shit. and later he blames himself for wearing a revealing top and said that he should have said no harsher. like bro no. it’s not on you that they wanna act like complete fucking inconsiderate imbeciles. even touya says that shion should know better than to have her buttons undone when she’s alone with a man. that’s such fucking bullshit, and that’s the chapter i stopped reading at.
the author also does this thing where people are completely clueless about things that should be pretty basic. like yeah of course if he cares about this date that they’re going on, he should try to dress to impress, but aoi acts like that’s a completely new concept to him. i’ll be honest, touya had a small moment where we were walked through his emotions as aoi confessed, and his insecurity about accepting his confession because he was only attracted to him when he was a woman did seem to be a plausible thought process. that’s the only amount of praise i can give it.
and wtf does it batter if someone has bras in their apartment for? regardless of their gender, regardless of their sexual identity, they should be able to wear whatever they wanna wear and buy whatever the fuck they wanna buy. it’s not anybody’s business if he has bras in his apartment just to have them, if he wears them even though he’s a man, or if they’re a woman’s that left them. it doesn’t matter because it’s his shit and it’s his apartment.
also wtf was going on with the chef side character dude like what? that went nowhere and had 0 effect on the story. the only thing it did was probably help meet the smut quota. like he hit on her and then she kinda caved in, but then her “bout of horniness” came and she got scared and ran away. and then he made that comment about how it was a shame because she had such big boobs. like wtf. this manga seems like it was written by a man based on the way they not only write women but also write about women.
this was probably written by a s t r a i g h t man to top it off. the way the author refers to a straight man as being the “normal” was so off putting in my mind and it really doesn’t sit right with me when i hear that kinda stuff.
i honestly feel so mad at myself for even putting enough energy into thinking through this manga. i realllllly didn’t like this manga, and i had to think about these moments in order to formulate my reasoning as to why they were wrong.
