Can we get a story for Takumi-san?! Like, please?! He seems like a sweet guy who tries to comfort even his sex-friends. Yes, he shouldn't have sex with a high schooler (who was actually a middle schooler at the time), but he seems like a good person!

Anna, although I expected her to be terrible, she is a lovely girl. She isn't selfish but simply wants a happy life. Meanwhile, Stephanie... I don't know if I can trust her yet... it might be a misunderstanding but... LET LETIZIA BE! SHE JUST WANTS TO HELP PEOPLE!

I'm only reading this for Laila... lol... please, someone, help me find any redeeming characteristic about the main guy! Lol, I don't really find him appealing... the story seems interesting but he's so... blank that there's nothing to like about him. Rather, there are more things I dislike about him than like. (￣∇￣")

Alright... despite all the dislike I've been pretty verbal about towards Miura, I really understand her and empathize with her. I'm glad they decided to communicate. I'm still quite angry at her for reasons I will not expand further on because it would piss me off lol. However, I'm glad they (Jun and Miura) were able to bring up the conversation, even if it didn't resolve anything. Hopefully, she will listen to Jun (as I feel that this conversation was more about Miura's feelings rather than a back and forth conversation between the two) and I hope they find closure.

Now, Ono... just... piss off, will you?! How is this any of your business?

And Ryouhei... KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF! YOU DON'T SEE ME GROPING MY GIRLFRIENDS' BOOBS? I'VE GOT MY OWN!

I need to calm myself and my anger towards Miura before I write a dissertation on this comment section. We don't need anymore rants from me today. I'll continue tomorrow lol.




This story has me punching the air.

May Mr. Farenheit find peace.

I have written a LONG rant about Miura just a few days ago... and here I am again:

JUN IS MAKING IT OBVIOUS THAT HE DOES NOT LIKE YOU. WHEN WILL YOU STOP LOOKING THROUGH YOUR BROKEN ROSE COLORED LENS AND LOOK AT JUN. HE IS NOT AN EMOTIONLESS ROBOT. HE MAKES IT CLEAR THAT YOU MAKE HIM UNCOMFORTABLE AND HE DEFINITELY MAKES IT CLEAR WHEN HE'S TURNED ON. NO MATTER HOW GOOD SOMEONE IS GOOD AT HIDING THEIR PAIN, IT IS YOUR JOB TO NOTICE IT AND BE THEIR SUPPORT. STOP BEING SO HOMOPHOBIC AND IGNORANT. STOP PURPOSEFULLY IGNORING THE SIGNS JUN IS SENDING TO YOU AND STOP TRYING TO FORCE YOUR WAY THROUGH. WHY IS IT THAT YOU ARE SO SELFISH? WHY IS IT THAT YOU ARE NOT LOOKING AT JUN BUT PAST HIM? FOR JUN, IT IS NOT A MATTER OF RIGHT AND WRONG WHETHER HE PASSES AS HETERO. IT IS NOT A BAD THING HE DID. IT COULD BE A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH; A WAY TO PROTECT HIMSELF HIS FAMILY, AND PEOPLE LIKE MAKOTO-SAN. AND YET, YOU ARE CORNERING HIM. YOU KNOW HE IS A KIND BOY, AND YET YOU PURPOSEFULLY COMMIT HIM BESIDE YOU? OPEN YOUR EYES. AS A FUJOSHI, I AM SAYING TO DROP THOSE BL MANGA AND GO GET TO KNOW REAL GAY MEN AND LGBTQ+ FELLOWS. BECAUSE FETISHIZING A GROUP OF PEOPLE BASED ON FICTION IS DISGUSTING.

Lol, I know she can't hear me, nor does this matter because this is fiction. BUT I KNOW REAL PEOPLE LIKE HER. Then these people get upset because reality doesn't match up to their fantasies. OF COURSE THEY DON'T MATCH, STUPID. If reality reflected fiction, I would've left this world and become a MC in an isekai fantasy world. BUT NO, I gotta stay on the ground in this world and associate myself with people like Miura.

Looooool, y'all, I'm so mad. I hope Jun feels safe and happy enough to leave her and find his happiness. And I hope Mr. Farenheit finds his peace.

Disclaimer: this is a long post. Read at your own discretion.

I love this story. These characters are not exactly likable but they are relatable, they are characters that I am attached to. They are not perfect people, just like us. Miura is a "victim" in this situation but so is Jun. Okay, most of this rant will be dedicated to Miura because I found her to be such a naive and ignorant person who wants to be an ally. She is likable but also... just so frustratingly ignorant.

I felt like it was distasteful for her to feel offended and defend gay men but then go on to say that she likes BL because its fantastical and that no one around her is gay. The knowledge she carries about gay men has no merit if she continues to stay ignorant and blind to the reality of gay men in Japan - the fact that she can say "I don't have anyone me like that" is purely her privilege. She is blind to the fact that, like Jun, there are definitely gay men and other queer people around her but they have to seem straight for HER comfort. She does not deserve to be treated as such but I find that she did not put the effort to understand Jun. She pushed her feelings onto him and assumed he liked her because he simply kissed her and went on dates with her. She was not looking at Jun. She was not watching to see his affection for her. It is not her fault, nor is it Jun's. This is a complicated situation; however, I do not see Miura as Jun's victim. I see them both victims of the situation but I must be clear that this situation was a result of BOTH their actions. It was not solely perpetrated by Jun.

And that almost sex scene - oh, that made me so angry. To Miura: YOU ARE NOT THE VICTIM, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE ANGRY AT JUN BECAUSE HE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH YOU. HIM MOVING AWAY WAS HIM SAYING TO YOU "NO". YOU MAY HAVE CONSENTED BUT HE DID NOT. DON'T BE ANGRY THAT HE GAVE YOU BLUE BALLS! Geez, this scene pissed me off because this was definitely a moment in which she ignored his feelings. This is when she was oblivious to JUN. She saw her boyfriend but she missed in seeing Jun.

I am rooting for them both... especially Jun. Miura will be hurt, she may be scarred from this relationship (if it comes to light, which I hope it does). But she has to realize that she is not the only victim. In the end, Jun will face further pain, he will face further discrimination. Miura has the chance to find someone else, be happy, have a family, display filial piety. Jun's chance of that same happiness is not as high as hers. I am not blaming her. Miura is a sweetheart and I see myself in her. I am also a straight fujoshi. I am an ally but I must admit that I fail and I am ignorant and often display my privilege. I was disappointed in Miura because I saw myself in her. However, as I see myself in her, I continue to root for Jun and that leads me to prioritize his happiness over hers because in my reality, people like Jun are often stopped in their tracks towards happiness. Because she has a large chance to finding happiness and Jun's reality often prohibits him from finding happiness. Of course, he is not an angel. He was wrong too. However, this is not a plot that is so black and white. He was wrong but also right to do what he did. If he had not protected himself, who knows what could happen? Hopefully we can get more of Miura's point of view. I don't hate her but I do find that her ignorance and naivety is dangerous and hurtful.

I really love this story. I thought it was going to be about a gay boy who befriends a fujoshi but this story is not as light hearted as I thought. This manga is even better, hitting the topics of normality of sexuality, STIs, code switching, and more. Rather than a heart warming story, this is a hard hitting plot that pushes its readers to understand its characters and the worlds they have been sucked into.

Thank you for those who reached this point in my post. I had a lot of emotions reading this and I couldn't keep it in.

I don't like the daughter... it makes me quite angry how manipulative and selfish she is. I understand she is a child and I like her strength as a girl but as a daughter, I get so frustrated. I was fine with her behavior until chapter 18. The moment she manipulates her dad is just... so heartbreaking. I can't really tell from what is provided in those panels but I believe her father hit her on accident and even if he did hit her purposefully, it did not seem malicious (but I'm saying that as someone who was spanked as a child and I knew my parents didn't do so maliciously). She used that moment to guilt him. She saw how much regret he had and she used it against him. It was different from taking a cry to get attention, the way babies do. She purposefully faked her cry to manipulate him. THAT was almost psychopathic manipulation and in a daughter towards her father who is trying his best... I find her disgusting. I know people like her in real life and I absolutely not only pity them but I absolutely find them disgusting people who have no regard for respect and love towards those who are trying. I know I may be exaggerating or making this too big of a deal but if I can't have a likeable MC, why even read this? I stuck with this story for the dad but... her father deserves more. Her personality is terrible and her dislikablity took over the potential of this plot. I'm sorry to those who like this but... I just can't with her. Go ahead and dislike this comment but... I dislike her WAY more than the dislikes of my comment can portray.

Okay... I was hoping there wasn't a female lead/heroine... but now there is... let's just hope she's not a love interest... lol

I've already read up to chapter 18... and I HATE WHERE THIS STORY IS AT! Is it worth reading?! I haven't asked this question in FOREVER. I typically just go at it and tough it through, even through BL that I end up hating in the end... But this is one for the first time in a long time where I really dislike everyone and I don't know if their development just hasn't hit yet...
