Rereading their works but i know now to ignore/be vigilent with this author's ch 5s like the plague. Like this one's ch5 so drastic compared to the comedy-fluff that is the actual bl https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/kanchigai_lokidoki_koi/

Excuse the rat with the glasses BUT LOOK AT HIM IN THE CORNER HE SO STUPID I LOVE HIM AHHHHHH https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/kanchigai_lokidoki_koi/uu/mpn_chapter-2206182/pg-26/

The way the childhood friend (CF) blushed makes me wonder what would happen if the uke wasn't being ambiguous with him, concluded their potential by himself, and made one of the most important person in his childhood the last person to know he was in a relationship for FIVE YEARS.
I would've been more satisfied if the uke told CF the truth without any misunderstandings or mistranslations between them and then get properly rejected, but still saving their almost-brothers friendship.
I read too many unrequited childhood friend BLs where the uke attempts to end it before it could even start and the dense seme panics n begs them to be honest.
If this was another story, CF would've been the seme.
Instead we have some incest-loving seme XD I'M KIDDING, i dont mind that too much but i was so not expecting it that it took me out the story for a while XD

After reading so many revenge stories i feel like i got blue balled. It was such an interesting backstory and potential plotline but they do nothing with it; very unsatisfying. What was the point of adding that detail besides pity points? It honestly just soured the romance.
For example, when Kiraide Isasete revealed that he was r*ped in the first volume they resolved it in the secondth volume. Really tickled the good spots.

I think, the backstory is necessary because it tells us of why he doesn't talking to other people. He was betrayed in the past so he avoid socializing or talking personally or having any kind of relationship to other people in the present.
I also think that he didn't revenge to his ex because I think for few people who experience trauma or have a bad experience in the past choose to avoid any contact that is related to their trauma. So I think he just doesn't want to encounter again his ex who betrayed him.
Not enough was spent on the first story T~T
