I find this enjoyable for what it is; an erotic sort of fantasy of a school-girlish sort. But one that every time shies away from actually having anything happen. After 40+ chapters this is beginning to be a bit more of a tease than you'd think for all those people complaining of rapey elements. When you add that the MC is a 19 yr old never been kissed virgin (what was she doing with her BF at 17??) the shoujo trope seems so weirdly malplaced in what isn't an otherwise sweet and fluffy story.
Granted this is a short story, so it was a bit compressed and brief. And though I liked it, and found it cute and interesting, it felt like the mangaka was actually starting much more than a single chapter story. Too much is just left unresolved by the end, like who IS the murderer. and Lenny's past. The first isn't even strictly necessary to the story (when Lenny runs away he gets stuck in town by other means) and the second could easily be told. No threads left dangling. Just too much for a short story to tie up by the end.
I'm not going to pretend this isn't entertaining fluff, but that doesn't mean it can't be a fun read. What I do hate is the uke's sense of guilt over having been with someone other than his one-sided crush. It seemed to me like he felt more guilty about betraying that unrequited love, rather than possibly having used somebody and not having been upfront about why he was with them. Otherwise what he was doing was sensible. When it is obvious that the time to move on has come you do what you must, and sometimes that includes a casual affair or two until you find someone new. For some it just means a new hobby....
dont worry the seme isnt the one being used he is the one doing the using
Kou was looking for a fuck, not real love. He's a regular at the bar for god's sake. It should be obvious what kind of person he is. It seems like the people there are used to him picking up people. Don't act like the seme is some wonderful person before you know the full story. I mean just from the chapter itself you can tell he's a playboy, it's not rocket science.
-The seme is a asshole.
-The uke is too girly and easy to use.
-Neither of the characters is relatable in any way.
-The first chapter has been shit, they had it all going on at first untill the seme came into existence. Those guys hitting on him would had been better even if they gang-raped him and recorded it. It would be a interesting, refreshing story.
To the two who basically responded with 'it's alright- the seme is a jerk'. First, I never really said anything about Kou, nor do I see the point, as whether or not Kou's a jerk had little to do with the uke's sense of guilt . Second, it's ok to behave like a jerk because the other guy is a jerk? Perhaps, but then you have to be darn sure you're right about that or you're just the one being a jerk. Better just to leave the other guy behaving like a jerk while you do what you believe is right. But let's say we're talking about something else; is it ok to steal the guy's stuff because he's mean and rude? Or to bully someone because someone told you they were mean to them? So yeah- get the feeling-but that doesn't make it right. Besides there's nothing wrong with looking for a casual fuck if both parties want. That alone doesn't make Kou a jerk or bad person. Other things might, but that is all about character.
Can already sense the trouble brewing. And I blame that woman. Neither she nor the brother care one bit about what Kasan actually wants. If he doesn't do as they wish, they will try to manipulate him or force him any way they can, while certain they're justified in doing so. I would have far more sympathy with these two if they tried to rescue him and get him away.
kasan doesn't want to leave and it doesn't matter what he wants he fell in love with the person that killed his whole family the brother just wants revenge for his lost. All though I want the main characters to be together you can not look past or forget what happened to kasan family I'm sure if you was in the brothers place you would do anything in your power to kill the murderer of your family even if it hurts your lil brother feeling
I haven't forgotten WHY the brother wants revenge. But would you use and sacrifice your only remaining sibling to get revenge? Without their willing consent? Because the way the brother is going now Kasan would be likely to pay with his life sooner or later for that revenge. Without even a guarantee of success.
As to Kasan not wanting to leave, you could argue that he is suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. He didn't even know Igen is the killer to begin with. That he's become used to his bondage by now. Not saying it is actually so, but I could much more easily sympathize with a character misguidedly taking him away for his own good, than his brother using him for revenge. If his brother wants revenge, fine, but he should ignore Kasan's existence except to save his life.
That's why he had the women tell Kasan to leave and walk around they can't blame him for something he wasn't around to do and he will be with the King and his assistant so they couldn't possibly kill him and sense the king clearly likes him he wouldn't possibly let the other kill Kasan. That was the whole reason the woman talked to K-san in the first place and most likely she said something like "oh I feel sad for k-san being locked in the room all day" and the King overheard her you just assume big brother will "sacrifice" his brother without learning the whole plan most likely doing the confusion he will snatched his brother away.
Also they did try to rescue him but he got caught
I'm not even sure where to begin. I'm just a huge question mark. Not only did it feel like it started in the middle, it ended before it really started. So everything just felt oddly choppy. Pity as I rather think (from what I could tell) that the premise had potential. I won't give up just yet, but if this is going to be doled out in unintelligible minute bits, I'll quit.
Hm, perhaps it's some kind of prologue? You know... like a teaser or something.
actually I think a 'teaser' would be more accurate....
... since they are teasing us...><
First off want to apologize as I didn't catch any of the names. I think it fairly obvious that the uke is pretending to be a player when he isn't, and was more than a little hurt by the pervert seme. So I'm definitely hoping he gets together with the new seme.
On the subject of little bro, what kind of sibling offers themselves as a substitute when they have barely met the guy? Frankly little bro landed himself in that mess and should get himself out. I did not like the way he interfered in his brother's life. And perhaps there was good reason he wasn't told where his brother was.
If dissected further, the panel where lil bro touched uke here:
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/no_color_baby/mi/6b80c535b8dbaf27d1cfc9452113fd17_chapter-1/9/
meant he didn't like it but was too shocked to shove lil bro away.
Also, when MC uke called on Shit Lover Boy here:
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/no_color_baby/mi/6b80c535b8dbaf27d1cfc9452113fd17_chapter-1/12/
I think MC uke was more concerned with Lover Boy interacting with lil bro than he is concerned with lil bro. WHICH tells me that when you are more concerned with a person who obviously does not deserve it means there's a person who is worse than that guy; and I think lil bro is much worse, he definitely screwed MC uke in someway.
You're absolutely right. Well spotted. Though in the first instance I can't really tell where exactly lil' bro is touching. Wherever it is, the uke sure isn't happy about it. But I think we can be pretty sure that the brother is going to be Trouble like a plague.
I couldn't either but it is not where he touched Mashiro, just the mere fact he was touching Mashiro was the issue, I think. We definitely have a sick lil bro here.
That was some 1st chapter. While I was expecting a more character driven story based on the cover, I wasn't prepared for this. I'm not even sure what to make of it all. The vibe seemed so mixed and could go anywhere from twisted, yakuza, or tragedy, to all at the same time.
After a lot buildup the story just rushed to a conclusion. Didn't even have time to deal with the villain. And I hate how villains just seem to get away with really vicious crimes in manga. I mean in no other way are we being realistic here, so let them get what's coming. And while I didn't feel a need to see babies, I'd been happier if they had gotten together and married over a few chapters, so I had more of a chance to see them as couple then married. As it was it just happened so fast I couldn't really enjoy it, before I knew it the manga was done.
Maybe it's just me, but was the uke somewhat confused about how he felt for the seme? Perhaps it was from trying to put too much into 8 pages, but I ended up confused as to how the uke felt.
Enjoyable and fun omegaverse take on YOI for those of us who like that sort of thing. But I have one little quibble, Victor would never have done anything that might mess up Yuuri's performance at a competition. He would have waited with taking those pills till AFTER the competitions were over.
Viktor is known to be a little bit selfish and quite self-serving. So it's not much of a deviation.
i agree, it seemed like a dick move and really out of character since in the beginning victor made sure not to bite yuuri in case he might've been an omega
While Victor may be a bit selfish, and possibly self-serving, he is definitely a serious sportsman. As such he would never mess with Yuuri's ability to perform or compete as his coach, or even as a fellow athlete.
