Y'know this was one of first BL mangas I'd read and I remember I really liked him but now that I re-read it... I don't like it that much. I still love Nozomi, he's SUPER cute and I really adore his relationship with Tatsuyuki BUT idk this kind of plot is not for me i guess?? I like more fluffy things for BL. It' kinda curious because I really like these kind of topics about traumas and serious topics in plots BUT idk i feel like in this was kinda romanticized?? Also Nozomi fucked Tatsuyuki and recorded it without his permission and that's kinda creep. But sex scenes are great and still, characters are nice! So I'm kinda conflicted rn lol
I think it wasn't exactly "rape" like... both of them wanted to do it that but Tatsuyuki imagined Nozomi and the other dude imagined Tatsuyuki's father ?? I'm conflicted, idk if it's incorrect judging the manga by "moral and legal things" when this obviously is an story about YAKUZA, mafia and stuff... it still makes me uncomfortable tho






*SPOILERS*
I really appreciate works where bottoms are manly but I didn't like the rape scene as well when they mix sex scenes with their memories as childs it's weird hdjajdh also it has some cliches and it's weird the fact Yuma saw him as something like his child??? and then his lover i mean i don't think it's that bad but just weird anyway characters were cute specially Yuma, after all I kinda liked it<3 we need more manly bottoms !!
I felt the same about how the childhood memories were mixed in with the smut scenes. I stopped reading for a while cause i thought it was too weird but i just finished and i still wished the artist did something to make Shizuya look like a college student and not a middle schooler. I love when the bottom is buff but Shuzuya still looked like a child
Is that so? IMO looks aren't big deal coz my family and I are like that too lol my mom looks like an last year highschooler and she has 2 sons already, I'm not exaggerating! For me it's enough that we know Shizuya it's a college student and not a minor coz that would make this manga creepier-
Yea, knowing he's a college student was definitely the reason i kept reading, but yeah i get how Shizuya could just look young. But whenever the flashbacks came I couldn't help but see him as that baby. I have a baby face and get misunderstood my height also plays a roll.
