First off, it's fiction. Readers are free to fuel their sadist/violence smut fantasies through yaoi. Sadist relationships also work if irl if both parties are in mutual agreement over the behavior. As for 6&7, those of you who don't like shota can imagine the 'teenagers' are 18, since there was talk of finishing training school you know. And if you like shota the author has made it ambiguous enough for your imaginations to run wild. Why jump to conclusions you don't like and then hate it for them?
But it wasn't presented as mutual S&M relationship. And pedophilia is wrong in most cultures. BDSM is fine, when engaged in respectfully. This was an abusive uke.
So, if a guy identifies as a girl and is sexually attracted to guys, is that still being gay? Also is it normal to throw up if you see the sex you're not attracted to naked? (unless its oral, which makes sense), don't you see way fatter and older naked bodies of both sexes in public baths and beaches and still keep your lunch in?
No, since Kirino identifies as a girl that makes her 100% straight. A straight trans girl. And I don't think it's about seeing the opposite sex naked in general, but just the sheer thought of having sex with a gender your not attracted to, imagining having to touch them, give them oral , penetration, ect was enough to send both Mishima and Kirino over the edge. My poor babes
Thanks, I agree! Mishima and Kirino use the phrase 'gay like us' or 'also gay' which had me wondering. And I guess its also pretty traumatizing for the young lady to have two boyfriends throwing up before/after sex :P
I think Kirino calls herself gay because it's kind of complicated for some people to understand gender issues. For instance, despite the fact I was born a girl, my heart identifies myself as a boy but I never understood it. I just thought I was crazy. The fact is that I fell in love with this boy for the first time and I thought I was even crazier because I didn't feel we were in a straight relationship, mainly because I'm much more of a man than he is. I feel pretty gay about it all. That's when I got to read this manga and I also found out that one dude I follow on tumblr os gender neutral; it all opened up my eyes for gender issues and I started to read about it. That's when I found out that I'm trans. That's when I found out that I'm kind of in a gay relationship with this boy. So picture Kirino, a person who tries to suppress his trans side, being in such a society like Japanese society, living in the countryside. They have a lot of prejudice against gay people or even non-cis people. It's very xomplicated to understand/accept these kinds of situations... And I'm sorry I really talk a lot Orz sorry
They don't exactly identify as female though. That is probably why they call themselves gay. In the chapter Kirino said that he liked to use the pronouns and dress up, but was not sure if he wanted to become a girl. So it's quite possible they are gay and just appreciate dressing up.
Kirino literally calls herself a girl and uses female pronouns regularly. She even pointed out wanting to become a girl in chapter 6 page 12 and points out that Mishima doesn't use feminine pronouns like she does.
Mishima is a different story though he's a cis gay male with an interest in feminine things (clothing, makeup ect.) He doesn't refer to himself as a girl doesn't show a desire in wanting to become one. Mishima is how you described, just appreciates female things.
LOVED the first couple, their chemistry is the best, their sex is the hottest, the seme should punish the uke more for being a naughty bitch ;) :D
This made me anxious cuz the pairings were not obvious until much later in the story, but that's what's so good about this manga! And I liked all the final pairings, even through I was rooting for Tetsuo x Momo chan at first. Very realistic setting and characters. A lot of people are saying they didn't like it, it's fine to not like some of the characters, but the manga is brilliant for the added realism. I myself didn't hate Tesuo or any other character, in fact haruka was more annoying because he's at the age when he gets easily emotional and is always being rude to tetsuo but I really sympathized with him when he said he wanted love and hope he gets to be with a person who loves him
Also it's worth noting that while at first reading it gives you the impression that Tomo and Haru are dating, or at least have an understanding, but nowhere does it say that. In fact, Haru's obsession with Tomo was in his head. So its totally fine for Tomo and Tetsuo to have their happiness
At first this manga was making me sad at every chapter, then the business of saving house Kuze got mind boggling as all hell, now back to being sad and apprehensive, but whatever it does to me I'll continue to read it and want more just to see Katsuragi!
I love Katsuragi too
I couldn't enjoy the beautiful 'exorcism' cuz I'm too worried for poor Kei!! Get out of there Kei! （/TДT)/
Don't be trash. Be nice to your angel!

Exactly my advice to the uke lol.
good art and hot sex but they call him 'big brother' so frequently its kind of a turn-off for me. but oh well, to each their own. Also wishing for ShionxAoya
