Like this but..

The only person he treats that way is shihara but maybe there is more to him treating him that way.....（￣へ￣）

I understand that Sousuke has always been kinda mean to Shihara

However that's no excuse for his behavior right now. It's cruelty in another way. It's fine if he likes Shihara but he seems determine to never go any farther with Shihara because of his position and status.... then he should firmly conceal his desire for Shihara, or at least firmly reject him.

so why is he leading him on? Screw "this method wield better results (refer to chapter 4). it's just cruel. Don't give him a blowjob when you want to stay friends...... What are you thinking, bruh? When I saw the face shihara made, I died on the inside.

Sousuke is tsundere, he liked Shihara and was mean just to hide it. If the adults had not left the 2 kids unsupervised at that time, neither'd be suffering now.

First, most of us grow up. Meaning, whatever issues and other childhood faults we had, we learn somewhere along the line to get over the worst of them. Not all, but most. We also learn why a lot them were a bad idea to begin with. So, I'm not quite sure how Sousuke's generally being mean in childhood to Shihara has anything to do with adults. Nor is it possible for adults to supervise 2 children constantly. Accidents will happen.

Second, that however was the past, and doesn't really explain Sousuke's attitude as an adult. If he really can't stand Shihara that much, he should leave. If he likes him, but feels he can't be with him, again he should leave. If he wants him then he should quit holding back. Staying and sending such mixed and undecided signals to someone you know loves you, is cruel. You certainly don't give them a blowjob just to get some info.

Idk, can't help but feel it would have been more in character for Sousuke to have just asked Shihara what he wanted to know, but someone thought the manga needed a sexy scene so we got the smutty version instead.

In the latest chapter, Shihara (the seme) says, "that day, we decided that we would just stay close friends." I'm pretty sure it was a mutual decision however, (personally) I think Shihara has been very honest with his feelings (At least his desire and jealousy). I feel like he's only trying to stay as a friend because that is Sousuke's wish and since Sousuke is so dear to him, he doesn't want to lose him so he goes along with what Sousuke wants. but its getting harder and harder to control his desire for sousuke that's why he lost control in chapter 1.

Beside isn't it Sousuke (in chapter 1) going on about how Shihara should just find himself a doe/girlfriend, that he would have to continue his family line. He even told him to get marry and have lots of fawns (kids).... and that's when Shihara say he won't marry (about right here)

Before Shihara was even allow to confess, sousuke stopped him. He obviously knows what Shihara's feelings for him is but something is stopping him from admitting/ accepting itl I don't know if its fear of being abandon or rejection or guilt because Shihara's father the one that save him. but there's something.

And that's why I said he was cruel. I mean that he talks about Shihara getting marry, having kids and that their relationship will always be master and employees... than why did he gave him a blowjob?? Especially when it wasn't to tell him he love him or anything it was to get information out of him.

Also in the last chapter, it was stated that Shihara didn't lose his power in exchange for Sousuke's life, he lost his power because he knowingly allow Sousuke to enter a prohibited area.

Unless he's lying. but if he truly lost his power in exchange for sousuke's life... I don't know why people aren't making a commotion around him.

Hello. You have a very similar response to what I have up there (at least the second part)
So I just wanted to talk to you for a bit.

I agree with what you say. The scene where Sousuke give him a blowjob was painful to watch, especially the face that Shihara made afterwards.. There's just so much contradictory that it hurts. To sum it up, Sousuke was the one telling Shihara to get marry and have kids and then he give him a blowjob to get info out of him.... but doesn't want to be friends with benefits?

Indeed, it was very out of character with what he's been doing until now (except helping his younger brother masturbrate.... what even.....?)

You forget, deers are the ones who rule sthat world, and in Sousuke's home the ones in power are Shihara and his family. Obeying Shihara's mom, Sousuke already left his family home. He only went back because Shihara told him his adoptive family wanted to see him. Or should Sousuke just leave the country altogether, and never see his adoptive family again just so Shihara won't suffer?

Sousuke *died* and had to be resurrected by Shihara's dad because Shiraha didn't want to warn him that place was cursed and people who entered it got killed. As a result of dying and resurrecting, Sousuke's memory is obviously completely messed up, years later after the fact. Granted, Shihara was just a kid then and he made a mistake, but he's not a victim.

"Accidents will happen". Yeah, death happens too, but that doesn't mean we should start letting sick people die and kids cross the streets without watching out for cars, does it?

Plus, Hiko said Shihara is cutting himself off from his powers for Sousuke's sake. He didn't say he cut himself off or had his powers cut off, but he used the present tense like Shihara is actively doing it. Maybe this was a translation issue and the rest of my rambling is moot, but I find it interesting. There is the possibility that Shihara is unconsciously cutting them off out of guilt, but there is a possibility he is doing it either unconsciously or consciously to be with Sousuke and maybe it even started out of guilt but part of him just keeps the powers off so he can stay with Sousuke who always drew his attention, which is why Hiko says it is for Sousuke's sake.

Hmmm, I maybe confused on the tense part, but the reasoning is still the same. I don't know. I just want a happy ending.

We onto know that he died just that Shihara's dad sacrificed a treasure to save Sousuke.

Not sure that it was that clear cut. The way I read it, Shihara felt guilty because Sousuke would never have kept going into an area they BOTH knew was out of bounds if he hadn't kept chasing after him, and then ill-wishing him. Besides that rope hanging across the cave opening seemed pretty clear to me. So the way I see it they were both at fault.

You tell your kids to go play in the back yard while you make dinner. While tossing a ball around, the ball goes into the street that along the yard. Despite repeated admonitions against doing any such thing, one of the kids runs out to get it, and an accident happens. Are you to blame? Should you have been watching your kids instead of making dinner? Must you pay a nanny? Or keep the children indoors? But then most accidents happen in the home. There's a difference between reasonable precautions and not allowing children any freedom due to an exagerated fear of what may possibly happen.

And I don't see how "letting sick people die" even relates. You don't seem to be able to differentiate between actual negligence and indifference, to kids disobeying the instruction given by caring adults. Children are curious, and bound to get themselves into trouble, sometimes sadly of a serious nature.

You are also forgetting that Sousuke is missing a chunk of memory. A chunk of himself. He has obviously wondered about it, and asked many times about it. He knows that people are hiding something from him, and has only gotten vague answers. He wants to discover that chunk that is missing. And while he is trying to figure out that chunk, he believes that he is the one responsible for weakening the next ruler of the country!

He has been ordered by the head mistress not to stick around the family compound anymore (she obviously blames him for what happened in the past), and his family that keeps proclaiming that they love him won't tell him the truth. Then add on top of that the person that you deeply care about also won't tell you the truth, and keeps saying that it isn't his fault.

What would you do? How would you act? Would you kiss ass the whole time and smile? Sit in a corner and cry? Or try to build your life, and let people know that you acknowledge smiling faces hide knives? Put yourself in his shoes, before you judge him to harshly.

Those ropes can also be put to protect a sacred place, like when they are are put at the entrance of a temple, so the ropes by themselves wouldn't have been a clear-cut signal that the place was dangerous. And Shihara does say he lost his powers because he knowingly let a person enter a forbidden place. He raised his hand and was about to say something, but stopped himself because he "hated" Sousuke. So yeah, they were both at fault. That was my whole point. Neither of them is a victim in this troubled relationship they have.

So we actually agree, you see? We both think children are curious and can not be blamed. My point is that accident has affected Sousuke's memory and that this fact, together with his ambiguous status at the temple and with his adoptive family, makes it hard for him to understand Shihara's feelings very well, like his guilt. That's why he's still "bullying" him.

We probably do, the problem of indirect communication. :) That's what I meant by 'accidents happen': i.e. that sometimes there's really noone to blame, though people will often blame themselves much more than they should. (Not to mention others.) A little guilt and a sense of responsibility can be a good thing, but crippling guilt rarely is.

I wasn't aware I was judging him so "harshly", as I hadn't categorically deemed him without redeeming qualities or reasons for his conduct, just that there was aspects that was less likable. And this early on, I'm only stating on what I see as tendency in character development. Doesn't mean that its difinitive, or that I won't change my opinion.

It seems to me that not only a great deal seems vague, and a great many assumptions as to what characters know and how they know it, but while all that may be true and relatable, it still doesn't change the basic question does a tragic past excuse present bad behavior? I don't blame him for wanting to find out the truth, just the means he uses to do so. Likewise, having been in a similar situation myself where I couldn't return someones feelings but was aware of them, I realized the kindest thing I could do was to put some distance between us. I thought at first there might be reasons why he couldn't leave, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

So to answer your last part, if I felt so unwanted, I wouldn't stick around. And no its not easy when it comes to family. And yes, I've been there, which is why I don't get why he sticks around.

Yeah, the blow j seems to come out of nowhere, but in a way Sousuke's relationship with his little bro is the proof that his sense of boundaries is completely turned on its head. I suspect the little bro is to blame for that in some way (like, if he for example went to great lenghts to make his adoptive bro feel "wanted" and his heavy petting eventually turned to molesting), but I guess we can't be sure of any of that yet.
