Am I the only one hoping Iriya doesn't end up with anyone? TBH I really hate side couples, like I could not care less. Plus they always make no sense. Ugh idk.

That depends on who he would ends up with, because if the author planned him for the second brother, which is possible, it would be it's own story (there is already a lightnovel about the youngest of them in japanese). If it is Ayato, I guess it is more likely to be a side couple in this manga, but who knows.

I guess what bothers me about that is it seems so forced? Iriya likes the oldest brother but obvi won't end up with him, so the mangaka just pairs him up with the younger brother (possibly)? Whenever creators do that, it just sort of throws off the whole vibe of the story so far for me. To me, it is basically equivalent to a bad filler episode :( just my personal feelings on the subject.

I'm not sure if you got the point I was trying to make. The author of this, not the mangaka the author works with for this one, seems to have planned a story for each of the 3 Shutou brothers. I think that's the case, because there is a light novel with the story of the youngest of the three, and now the manga with the oldest of them. The middle brother would be left. So it is possible that the author writes another light novel or another manga with a mangaka for the middle brother. So if it would go in this direction with Iriya it won't happen in this manga.

Hmm I got that, but I still think the idea of a character moving on to their love interest's sibling when things don't work out with the love interest kinda too convenience based. Whether it happens in a totally different manga or not. Which, like I said, is just my personal opinion! Also, my point was a general opinion about a common occurrence across the whole BL genre that I dislike, not just this particular series.

Ok.
But I'm not that sure that Iriya is in love with Keiki, he also can be just a protective good friend. One might first assume that when a character like this appears that it is automatically a rival, Rikus seems to think that, too.
From what I saw from the raws so far, I really think he is just protective of Keiki as a friend. But I think we have to wait what the author does in the future chapters.

This was AMAZING! At first, the art really threw me, but I think it either grew on me or it genuinely got better after the first chapter. Either way, by the second chapter, this whole manga was beyond endearing to me. It is a fast read and quite simple, but so complete and fulfilling. It feels like a treasure! Thank you sensei!!!

Wow he really got dragged into the gym just to be body shamed and made to feel like a loser....that fucking sucks :'(

There is different training style depending on your trainer. I started with someone that was encouraging and warm and it didn’t work for me... fast forward to a year later, back in the gym with this « bully monster » ( he isn’t) that I have now. He shouts, I cuss him out every session but I achieved the goal that I had and then some; before Miss Corona happened we went to clubs together

I can totally understand how that type of treatment might be motivating for some people, including yourself. I respect that! However, here is my full take on the subject. I think shaming people for their bodies, weight, and physical capabilities is fundamentally wrong, and I know how bad it feels. It feels really, really bad. Treating someone like that right out of the gate without even checking if they are comfortable with that "method" or not is just downright harassment and body shaming in my eyes. Not motivation, and certainly not a "coaching method". If someone wants to be treated that way to motivate themselves, fine, but that should be something you have to request. Imagine coming to the gym to make a change in your life and being shamed because you haven't already achieved what you came there to do...that is bonkers to me. Anyways, that's my take!
The mc should have more confidence, he is so cute :')
ALSO I am so happy we have a BL character who understands that gay men aren't predators who will attack any man, but actually (and this will blow a homophobes mind) have preferences!!!!
