okay, I cannot thank the mangaka enough for that line by Alex
I get really tired of the semes in yaoi manga who are straight, but then dating a gay guy, long term even! But don't want to label themselves as bi or gay.
That always confused me.
But I guess maybe there are straight people who sleep with just one person of the same sex and maybe find it difficult to label themselves as anything but hetero...
Anyway, this manga was refreshing in some inexplicable ways

I KNOW!
So often they're like "I am dating a guy but I'm straight" Boi no. I get it if you don't wanna label or if you never hear of Bisexuality but have some dang pride.
Jeez they make it sound like they are being forced into this like "I wouldn't be here if I didn't have to be because its gross. But I love you of course." Rude. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

NORMALLY crazy characters who are insecure put me off but... Cole is such a lovable oddball that you just can't help but root for him
And i don't blame him for being insecure either... I was waiting for Alex to turn out to be a dick, or "accidentally" sleep with someone else but
Alex was just a class act boyfriend from the get go and equally lovable
The wild gunplay was actually FUN to read
bUT THE DICKS
uncensored dicks make me so happy
I fucking HATE lightsaber dicks! -_-
wtf is up with that?
Ah, i hope the author continues and Cole gets slapped in the face by Alex's ginormous dick, just like he wanted

Alex was a surprisingly good dude. I too was waiting for the assholery but was pleasantly surprised that he was a serious and decent dude.
I actually felt bad for Alex! Like he didn't actually do anything to make Cole unsure, he was completely upfront and open. Cole's insecurities were just a mountain poor baby.
Also I like how based on everyone else's reactions Cole might be that guy that has people who like him and want to talk to him, but he's so trapped by his own head he doesn't notice.
Also I saw on a post on chibachibascans tumblr, they actually uncensored it. I didn't even know you could do that! Wish more groups could do it (I'm sure its work tho...)

light saber dicks exist because Japan is like
O shi no fucking un censored crao maN

yeah... and i find that contradictory and hypocritical since their raunchier genres also have graphic (and sometimes brutal) sex scenes, but then in the middle of that a lightsaber/ lightsabers... like it magically negates everything else that is happening within the panels :/
I mean, if you're gonna go that route, go all the way and show the damn dicks
it's not the image of the dick that's going to scar kids or people (although...) but rather how the dick is being forced onto an often times unwilling participant

Censorship laws are weird and vary by country, there is also the publisher to consider. What I mean is sometimes it just like pixeled or theres a bar, instead of the total erasure. Like in america there us actually specific rules and some publisher care more or agree more than others. Bigger publishers might avoid the possibility of being fined or sued by going above and beyond. Smaller publishers or publisher who specialize in harder content might not bother going that extra mile and just do the bare minimum needed to be legal.
This is also only based on a blanket rule about genitalia and the 'way' the genitalia is being used isn't really important for this law in itself. I mean in the US as long as the nipple is covered you can show boobs, like my friends aunt joked that since she had surgery and her nipples were gone she could go topless. Back in the day of the church censor laws (1930s-1970s-ish) showing a bedroom with only one bed was banned in films.

Nice to see Lucaon sort of taking more of an interest in how the sex was for Kyon- loosening him up PROPERLY for once, and then asking if it felt good, noticing that he bruises easily, then almost sweetly kissing his head.
SO that leads me to believe that the chain being used here is NOT an outright act of dominance NOR POSSESSIVENESS
but rather Lucaon's messed up way of being CARING.
Generally what happens post sex is Kyon gets up, cleans up and gets back to work. So Lucaon keeping Kyon chained to the bed is probably his way of saying "stay here. stay in bed. rest up" without actually saying anything at all.
Lucaon's going soft

Ok so... fisting... I Freaked Out when Lucaon said "I could probably fit my whole hand in" O_O
like no dude, no. don't do it. that's evil.
Also, why was Lucaon marveling at how "loose" Kyon became? Uh... has he not been prepping him properly all the other countless times he fucked Kyon? evil.
I was enjoying the smut until Lucaon said "the other servants weren't like this"
I mistakenly thought that Lucaon slept with other servants before Kyon.
But it was nice to see Lucaon sort of taking more of an interest in how the sex was for Kyon- loosening him up PROPERLY for once, and then asking if it felt good, noticing that he bruises easily, then almost sweetly kissing his head.

so... just because the uke didn't quite realize it from the beginning, let's not pretend like it isn't what it is~ he was being molested by the other guy.
However, I'm sure that's up for debate
Because many readers will say that apart from the first time he was given the hand job, all the other times were "consensual".
the rape scene: it was disturbing. I don't know what else to say about that.
One thing that I have to give props to the mangaka for was ACKNOWLEDGING IT
For having the uke realize what happened to him
that it was NOT CONSENSUAL. IT WAS RAPE
And also for the rapist to acknowledge that it was rape.
the rest was just the usual yaoi tropes of betrayal, rape, blackmail.
Anyway, I skimmed to the post acknowledgement part. My blood boiled when the rapist said "i did it because I love you"
THEY ALL SAY THAT IN YAOI
and it's disturbing. and it's NOT "CUTE"
So I guess props to the mangaka for the shock factor.
I was uncomfortable reading this from the start and red flags were going off
I hoped it wouldn't take this turn
but I'm not surprised that it did.

How can you be so sure? Have you read the raws?

raws of the first six pages http://renta.papy.co.jp/renta/sc/frm/item/118174/ (無料サンプル)
i understand japanese, ofc i dunno how it will continue after that but it doesnt look like it will continue the way ch3 ended at all

Thanks a lot man!! ヾ(☆▽☆)

I don't know if it will or won't turn into blackmail, but he did make an open threat to expose the uke if he tries to file a complaint or whatever.
anyway, I think it's more than I can stomach. this is where I leave the manga.
so, good luck to all the other readers who will continue reading. hopefully it'll end well
Normally I really dislike this kind of plot
I don't really like the whole "falling in love with siblings" and the whole "years/ decades of pining" thing
However I do like how everything was handled. I guess there could have been a lil more angst? It was pretty smooth sailing if you ask me.
The mom is gold. She really is.
lol, the dad is such a throwaway character.
all in all, it was a nice read. nothing mindblowing or super special. Just sweet.
