I feel very emotional after reading this.
I don’t know if the rape scene needed to be as graphic as it was. The manga was an exploration of sexual trauma but the actually scene was very graphic and longer than it needed to be. This goes up with “All about J” with the most horrifying depictions of rape I’ve read.
I want an extra about them being together in the future.
I just want both of them to be happy. I’m gonna cry some more now
There really is a BL manga for everything. At this point I’m convinced that there is a BL for every topic imaginable
I think so far i've seen scat, tentacles, bestiality, furry, urethra, mpreg, frottage, fisting, exhibitionism, smell fetish, feet fetish, armpit fetish, train sex, gangbang, mind break, gore, somnophilia, necrophilia, incest, stockholm syndrome, urophilia, pedophilia, hermaphrodite, and a doujin involving eye-licking sex, and that's only the tip of the iceberg. Who knows what the future brings :D
I hate love triangles but I almost want one in this series so that the ML can get his ass in gear (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
The FL is very precious and she deserves the best. So hopefully Shima returns her feelings...if this was shoujo we’d have another fifty chapters before there was any development but since this is senien...who knows
Also, mini rant, but Shima’s whole vague relationship with Rika is annoying. Rika is just annoying. She’s blaming him for something that happened when they were kids. And guilts and gaslights him. He really needs to drop her out of his life. But she’ll probably be redeemed *sigh*
I’m just hoping there isn’t an arc where a romance is set up between them (shima and Rika)
Ugh Jake has no right to be upset with the female lead having dinner with the second ML.
She doesn’t even remember him. Plus, it was almost a decade (? He said it took him nine years to get to the point he’s at I think) in the past when they had interacted.
PLUS he’s kinda a dick to her as well. Sure, he’s hot, and that’s why the FL will fall for him, but he’s not being very kind to her. He should just be honest.
I’m rooting for the second ML (but we all know that the second ML never ‘win’ the girl)
I got second male lead syndrome from this. The relationship between the leads was rather shallow as they never talked throughout HS while she was actually friends with the second ML (who doesn’t get any type of closure either)
It doesn’t even seem like they started dating after th confession either. Gah. Too many loose ends.

I remember the squires from the novel. They’re pretty funny characters that idealize Max end there’s even a part where they all eat fish together (⌒▽⌒)
I was reading it here

Man, this FL is so annoying. The ML wasn’t even mad at her when she left him and he has rope burns all over his body (which would suck for someone swimming and besides that it’s not safe bdsm practice to begin with)
SECONDLY, Yeah, girl can have friends with benefits BUT not with a friend you’ve had for over a decade. Like, sorry sis, that’s not how it works. If it was a rando then sure, the guy would have no right to her feelings etc but imagine if the FL was a guy who slept with his childhood friend like it was nothing.
If they discussed a FWB deal before having sex maybe I would find the the FL less annoying but right now she’s super selfish
