Ankh created a topic of Antidote (Harusari)

This is getting more depressing with each chapter. I don't know how much more I can stomach before I pause and wait until dark clouds are cleared a bit

Ankh created a topic of Melting Point
Hmm

There's something about this couple that really does it for me. I think it's a combination of seme's inexperience and enthusiasm, the blaze uke and a touch of realism that not every thing should be perfect the first time.

I think we're finally going to see the tattoo?

Ankh created a topic of No Moral

Gotta love a tough love show from a competent boyfriend. Very sexy!

Ankh created a topic of Flashlight

All that drama and trauma for this? Eek. I expected something darker.

Ankh created a topic of Beyond Memories

It's a good question. I think we're all wondering!

Ankh created a topic of Bad Apple

I don't know... I like Uno being the bottom and Enzo the one falling in love first. I think that would be fair game

Ankh created a topic of Overclock

Take your slimy hands off him you oaf. He's got a young handsome and potentially in future very rich boyfriend now he doesn't need your saggy balls and wrinkly ass

Uno

Uno Uno. Tsk tsk. He hasn't learnt his lesson, has he? Well, he's found his match in hell and it'll be glorious to watch him relearn his lesson over and over. I really don't enjoy take arc. But he literally is asking for it. His confidence is so misplaced. I think they both make great toppy bottoms. But that won't happen for Enzo anytime soon. Uno needs more lessons. He's taking both his job and his confidence in his own skills too seriously!

Ankh created a topic of Rocket Science Love

Okay I’m all for a bit of artistic exaggeration but this? This isn’t anatomy it’s horse husbandry. No. Just no. To every man reading this: relax, this is not normal, not healthy, not desirable, and definitely not sexy. Your partner would have to have titanium spine to go near that. Man or woman! Anyone who has encountered reality knows that cartoon-sized equipment just screams “ouch” and “orthopaedic surgeon on speed dial.” The artist seriously needs to pick up a biology textbook and maybe practise with a ruler.

Ankh created a topic of The Foul

I'm not enjoying this plot anymore.

Ankh created a topic of Bad Apple

That slap felt so right. And then he goes and gets cute fussing over some blood spill. Yep, Enzo will fall in love irrevocably now. Can't be helped.

Ankh created a topic of C-Class Esper's Memorandum

There was no clear consent there and the ambience was not right. Also, too early for the ML to give in and let that brat do whatever he wants!

Ankh created a topic of Overclock

You startup beggars!! Bahaha truest spoken words

Ankh created a topic of Melting Point

Well damn, the art is incredible and someone's super eager, which makes them super hot together! I like the MC internal referee of the performance. It's very realistic!!

Ankh created a topic of Beyond Memories
Wtf

I still don't understand. Why the hell would he mark him again the second time and still not have the backbone to stay with him? He doesn't deserve redemption!

Ankh created a topic of C-Class Esper's Memorandum
Huh

Well, look at that. Red-head actually turns out to be much deeper and more interesting than I gave him credit for. He’ll probably end up being the conduit for the relationship between the two MCs.

The guide on the other hand is still just a tool pretending to be caring. His emotional depth feels no deeper than a puddle and it’ll take a lot of back-and-forth for things to develop properly. The pacing feels rushed and I can’t shake the feeling the author isn’t building the real relationship here. At least I hope not because right now the MC’s motivation and feelings seem really misplaced.

We’ll see how the story unfolds, but it’s rare to find genuinely deep stories in this genre. I do like that the author avoided pairing up two S-classes. that arc is overdone, boring, and predictable.

Death by cuteness

Ankh created a topic of Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai

At this point, after all this build-up, a cookie-cutter happy ending just won’t do. I’d find a tragic conclusion far more satisfying, it’s the only way this manga could stand out as a classic. There are already plenty of stories with shallow “happily ever afters.” This one is meant for a mature audience and it deserves an ending that reflects that

Ankh created a topic of Beyond Memories

At least we now know why he refuses to mark him. I just hope the MC doesn’t brush off his memories once the story returns to the present. It would be more meaningful if he took time to reflect not to blame the ML but to recognise that in his past life poor communication and not standing up for himself played a part in how things unfolded. That said, it’s important to remember he wasn’t at fault. In real life the responsibility for domestic violence always lies with the abuser. Showing the MC as someone with agency while still acknowledging the abuse avoids painting survivors as helpless or hopeless which would be a disservice to real victims
