Rating: 5.0/10 (i'm already being generous here).
The concept had potential but the execution of the plot was very clearly lacking, and I'm not the only one who thinks so.
The plot was incoherent and inconsistent which makes it confusing and a bit difficult to follow. Quite often, I found myself asking "what the hell just happened?", or "Did miss something?", and go back to reread a few pages back to make sure. I had a brief idea that something might have just gotten lost in translation, but now I genuinely think the plot is just incoherent like that.
The progression of their relationship was too fast, it makes it quite difficult to get on board their ship (if I may say so, LOL). It feels a bit forced on to the readers because it was not "organic".
There was little character development, and if there was it seemed forced and arbitrary, but the characters are likeable enough I think.
Overall, the manga is forgettable, and there's really nothing special about it. I don't really dislike it but I would not recommend this to serious readers who are looking to read BL of substance, whether if it's heavy or only light reading.
i didn't think i'd be so invested in this kind of story but i am now lol. very interesting and different concept.
i know that practically everyone hates jaeha right now, but yall gotta understand, and especially take note of the last scene on the recent chapter with jaeha's relationship with the father. this is exactly the reason why jaeha holds himself back with his true feelings for eunho. he doesn't want eunho to experience the same struggles he did in the past, i.e. family strain, in addition to trust/commitment issues. since he knows how difficult and lonely it was to be shunned by your own family, he doesn't want eunho to have that experience, too. this is also one of the reasons why he has such a negative outlook on his relationship with eunho, because he has been hurt by those he loved so many times, imo. but these are just speculations by me lol
I completely agree. Do I think it’s a shame that Jaeha is acting the way he is right now? Yeah, ‘cause I want them both to be happy. But a lot of people are refusing to acknowledge that this is good character writing lol.
OMG YES! I love that Jaeha's character is so complex because real humans are complex beings so it feels more realistic and relatable. I also think that because he is this way, the depth of his feelings for Eunho seems more genuine because he cares so much...too much, even.
I liked jaeha a lot at the beginning but then he became the annoying character that sacrifies himself for his lover's sake. I dont know if this twist plot was necessary (maybe i am saying this because i dont like seeing baby eunho crying lol) but i hope it ends up soon because that temper of his gets on my nerves xd
...garou didn't use the kid as a human shield and even asked the heroes not to shoot at the hut. i thought that was surprisingly admirable of him so mad props to him for that lol (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Seriously. I was impressed by that.
The whole point of his character is to show that "monsters" have motivations and empathy just like many of the top heroes have ill intentions and are "monster-like." Garou is like Capped-baldy in that his morality can only be understood by people he has directly interacted with and his public image is corrupted by stereotypes and (good or bad) popularity.
Garou only wants to become stronger by Trying to ONLY fight "heroes," or martial artists, people who have CHOSEN to fight for a living. Compare this to some heroes such as Tornado who is a hero only because of BOREDOM, and doesn't really care if the public is killed or hurt in the process.
Honestly I would call him a neutral-leaning chaotic good, rather than evil because of this.
I agree 100%!! (●'◡'●)ﾉ
if you've got mid to high standards in yaoi, you will not like this manga. the plot is ridiculously incoherent and all over the place. the characters are way too outrageous, even for yaoi standards. the only redeeming factor is the art is quite pretty. in short, it's a waste of time.
There are books for all kinds of people, and people can prefer vastly different things. This may not have done it for you, but could have been perfect for many others. So have a good day.
You said it a bit harsh but I have to agree... I bought the manga because it looked so cute and lovely (I love cute yaoi manga with strong romance) and in my opinion it wasn't just a waste of time, also a waste of money. But how the comment above me already said, there a many kinds of people who also prefer different things. ^^
For me definitely this was a waste of time. The stories were way rushed. Nothing lifts the manga in a good way. It's just porn. And not even good porn, every thing was censored. The art might've been the plus to this manga but overall, for me this manga is junk.
This could've been one of sensei's better works, but the last story ruined it.
I really like the coffee shop one. It was a bit better paced than most of her works. It was still kinda rushed though. The ass fetish story was okay. It had its moments (i guess), though I do think the uke was too good for the seme. He deserves better...or at least I had hoped the seme would at least suffer a bit haha! Comparing to sensei's other stories, i'd say these two had a bit more depth than most...considerably. The chikan story was just plainly problematic though.
The art is nice as always. Sensei's manga usually have an interesting premise, but they always fall short due to their pacing and character development (or lack thereof) in the stories. I think that if sensei focuses more on pacing a story well then the story would be better by tenfolds, honestly, because they are already interesting to begin with.
Anyway, I'm really hoping to read sensei's future works, too!

as far as the story goes, it has barely just started and the plot is going at a good pace imo. i think i will better appreciate their character developments and the progression of their relationship if it keeps the current pace. it also feels more realistic that way.
it feels like it's dragging but that is because we're not reading it in one sitting. one day in the story takes several chapters sometimes, like, the latest updates (ch. 30-32 ) so far are only happening the next day after the night when the misunderstanding (ch 23-29) began, ya feel? and it's only lunchtime at ch. 32 looool just be grateful that it's updated on a weekly basis (〜￣△￣)〜
