OF COURSE the dubcon of the sex scene considering Aki was drunk rubbed me the wrong way and just wasn’t okay… But I don’t get why yall think Yuu manipulated or took advantage of Aki consciously or with ill-intent? I think it’s clear that Yuu was 100% thinking they were dating and/or that their romantic feelings were mutual. He literally said that regardless of how much Aki liked him he shouldn’t have gone too far that soon (talking about the jerking off scene) and Aki didn’t refuse the claim. Yuu always made his romantic intentions 100% clear and (from Yuu’s POV) Aki was undoubtedly reciprocating. Even in the hotel scene it was Aki who said that they should enjoy the experience and Yuu even asked if he knew what he was implying with that (again I’m not defending the drunk sex, it WAS WRONG, I’m only trying to put the scene into perspective). That’s why when Yuu realized that Aki in fact didn’t feel the same he shot his shoot with the other girl, he was just trying to get over someone who he felt played by… This story was a big miscommunication/misunderstanding plot which would have been fine if the author didn’t add the dubcon element to it and make it way more complicated… I usually really like these silly plots and I thought the MC and ML were cute (I love a down bad ML) but I don’t fuck with dubcon at all so this story was ruined for me because of that. I just think that 80% of the comments here either didn’t understand the story or pay attention to it and it’s annoying lol you can criticize something (and this story is asking to be criticized) but at least do it right…

(TMI incoming) I’m neither a man nor gay but as a lesbian girl this hit so hard. I don’t like men and I love dating women, I have no doubts about my sexual orientation… But I’m surrounded by mostly heterosexual people in heterosexual relationships, and have been since I was a child. It’s hard knowing that I won’t ever be able to have that SAME experience but with a girl. I won’t be able to display my affections as freely as heterosexual couples. I won’t be able to be with my partner without the fear of being sexualized for it. I won’t be able to go out together with them without people assuming we’re just good friends. And I could go on forever, but it’s simply that I won’t be able to love live heterosexual couples. And it’s not (only) about how non-heterosexual couples have it harder, but it’s just THAT IT’S DIFFERENT. And I’m grateful that nowadays it’s not that hard for us, but that doesn’t make it any easier to come to terms with the fact that I will never have a relationship free of the strings that come attached to a wlw relationship. I’ll never be able to experience what it natural for heterosexual relationships.
I’ve never truly been able to find a way to describe this feeling, but this story explains it beautifully. Yes, the pace is sorta rushed but it’s shocking how the author was able to convey this complex experience in such a clear and understandable way. I’m even more amazed that this was this author’s debut story… It was so good.
Glasses guy reminded me of my ex so much I couldn’t enjoy this manga at all LMAO such a fuckass. I feel so bad for ML, hope they break up and he finds better.
