Hey, no need to apologize at all :D ....we are all entitled to voice our opinions and I have to say that I wholeheartedly agree with you regarding Yoshino. He's the typical teenager full of angst exacerbated by a deep inferiority complex as a result of bearing the stigma of "bastardy" and probably being compared all his young life against his older half brother whom is the legitimate heir of his father. I mean, that is a poisonous pill to swallow and Yoshino was desperate to assuage his loneliness, connect with his brother, even though he had no idea how to accomplish that, all while undergoing the natural identity formation process of a young adult within the prostitution environment and all the iniquities such an environment entails, and on top of that, his first sexual experience is with a vile older woman, and he's a casualty of revenge for something his brother did; I mean, taking all of this into consideration, my heart actually breaks for Yoshino and I am so so so happy that Haruto initially resisted him, that he refrained from fucking him because by differentiating himself from everyone else, he made an indelible impression on Yoshino. Yoshino deserves a happy ending just as much, if not even more than his own brother, because he was indeed an innocent made victim by the decisions of his parents, the indifference of his brother, and for being allowed into a cesspool of iniquity despite his young age and sheltered upbringing.
Alright, this may be longer one but I hope you will put up with me.
I started reading this manga recently but managed to get through it quite fastly, so I'm full of emotions at this point. The first pair was cute even though uke's actions sometimes pissed me off, however so did the ones of the same. In the end, I really liked that pairing. Nevertheless, now comes the second story/pairing. I thought; 'yes it looks like this will be one of the tsundere uke manga and how he slowly opens up.' As much as I wish for it to be this kind of innocent story, it wasn't. It turned out to be at some point twisted, emotional and heartbreaking piece, which left in me many feelings, some positive some negative. Now, I scrolled through the comments a bit and saw that everyone visibly hates Yoshino. Since this is post about my own opinion, I will stuff you up with it. *Grins* Anyway, I think the things Yoshi did were indeed very unreasonable, for example the fact that he continued having sexual realitionship with Arata, even though he already got his revenge, by raping him once; Oh goodness, I love that raping cliché. Yes, what he did was immature and stupid, I agree but I do not intended to give up on this lonely character. Look, put up in his shoes, he's obsessed over his brother, he's full of sorrow for being compared to him even though this big idol brother became a mere host in the end, which is thing he despises. Notwithstanding, all I see is just a kid, who's acting like a kid. He took it way too far, but that's not a reason why he shouldn't have happy ending. Actually, that EXACTLY is a reason why he deserves a happy end. He needs someone he can trust, someone he can love, someone who will acknowledge him and puts a proper leash to his wild behavior which he showed so far, someone like Haruto.
Thanks for putting up with me!~ Just a boy kicking off opinions in the world of yaoi. Heh.
