This mangaka is brilliant. I can't tell if the comedy is real, or inadvertent.
Pass the popcorn!
Don't forget the tissues!
Not needed. Well ... maybe to wipe the butter from the popcorn off my fingers.
Girl from the past's character is just a twitch or two too Evil!Witch, which makes sense since we're seeing her through the lens of Shirotani's recollections, where her importance is over-inflated and takes up too much space in his problems—the safety filter who keeps him from getting too close to others because ... scary reasons. Now that he's an adult and has someone who cares, how long will it be before he can acquire some perspective and put those past memories well and truly behind him instead of carrying them everywhere and re-enacting them every moment? No doubt evil girl had her own share of bile which is why she had to spit it onto a defenseless kid, but this isn't her story. There's no reason him to wear her bitterness anymore. Is resolution arriving soon?
FINALLY! Good grief, there was more cock-blocking in this story than in a 40-storey chicken coop. Geez. Yuuma has way too much patience. Don't get me wrong. I like strong women and fierce, protective mothers, but I like men who have some spine when it comes to their mommies, too.
O brother where art thou? And I agree not enough sex and the mother was mean!!
(Right, on one! In a movie full of WTF scenes, that was an absolute winner.)
It's like Fuwa Shinri is getting bored of man-on-man and tried to imply they were passionate by telling us (instead of really showing us) it happens every night. She could've been courageous and honest by showing how they circle and hesitate, like most people do when they are reacquainting themselves with each other after a 4-year period of complete separation, like, say, Koakuma no Sanctuary. With the long sentimental build-up, I was expecting the rich and creamy cheese melting all over the plate, not lukewarm processed skim milk cheese slices on stale bread, with a slice of vinegary mom like a pickle on top. Maybe she doesn't want to draw yaoi anymore.
Love your comparison, I found the resolution to be really weak too. And the uke was kind of a spineless momma's boy...
It was weak.
"Okay, ma, I love you, but this time you're wrong and I'm standing up for my partner."
There, was that so difficult?
First day back and you are in excellent form, as usual. I love your sense of humor and the way you think.
I agree, I was looking forward to... anything that wasn't this sad excuse for an ending. A fight with mom; a secret rendezvous; Yuu moving out to support his "starving artist" lover. I got this weird feeling of waking up after great sex to find my partner has sneaked off and even given me a fake phone number. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am.
Such an interesting manga! I'm glad it's revisiting this storyline.
Don't forget the art! And the details! (≧∀≦)
It's all good.ヾ(☆▽☆)
Good start. Looking forward to the part where the BL starts.
Thank you, crappy-bl-translations, whoever you are! Not too crappy that I didn't enjoy it. Thank you. Thank you.
(OMG, Ryuu is much more handsome in this chapter.)
I hope: crappy-bl-translations does more translations for other manga's.
So did I.
IKR! They certainly picked a winner with this one.
Exactly, our minds think alike.

Whoops! It suddenly nose-dives into psycho territory. I thought we had a nice light comedy thing with possible threesome happening? What's with this sudden creepy chill? It's just so ... unexpected.
Thats... what I thought too *sigh*...
You have to be pretty drunk to mess up like that.
