"If you really can't be a neko, we'll think of something else. Sex isn't everything."

DO YOU KNOW HOW RARE IT IS TO FIND SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN YAOI MANGAS? AND HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO ME TO BE ABLE TO READ THOSE LINES?

I'm always cautious when reading yaoi mangas because of how often they romanticize abusive relationship, and how the readers (and by extension the authors) objectify gay people. As a gay man, it's so disheartening reading comments that make big deals out of who tops/bottoms, who refers to the characters as seme/uke instead of their names, who normalize rape/sexual assault etc. And more disheartening to read a whole bunch of yaoi mangas who promote unhealthy and heteronormative depictions of gay relationship, but since i'm reading without paying a cent, i guess i can't complain too much.

I just hope there are more mangas like this, that choose to show how wonderful healthy relationship and consensual sex can be--instead of glorifying rape and heteronormativity. Thank you for the author and the scanlation group!

    Yeah, that's why i love this manga. The author implies that who bottoms/tops doesn't matter, because penetrative sex isn't everything in a relationship.
