It looks like Tokizou was crushing on Ryuuji all this time (25 years) and Ryuuji hasn't been able to get it out of his head since that incident 22 years ago when he discovered Tokizou's feelings because of the sleep kiss. Since then Ryuuji's gone on as usual, dating women and even getting married, while trying to come to terms with his friend's feelings. Now he's 42, he's tried women and even marriage, now he's willing to give his friend a shot. I'm thinking Ryuuji is in love with Tokizou now too (as evidenced by the jealousy and him even trying to talk the part timer, Udo, out of it), but i don't think he's been crushing on him for years like Tokizou has, i think he allowed himself to give it a shot when his marriage ended in divorce. I guess we'll see? I could see it being that Ryuuji's had a crush since the sleep kiss, but if so why not date? It'd be a plot hole. Maybe it's one of those guilty crush plots where he denies his feelings and dates women, now he's older and doesn't care enough anymore to deny it?
If that’s the case that makes me furious and that is so fucked up. Like what only now that you got to have a taste of a “normal”life and just that it unfortunately crashed and burned so nowyou think hey i’ll Try being “fully” gay/bi for my clearly gay best friend because what’s better than lucking out on your best friend also being good for sex, making you meals, cleaning up after me without dealing with hassle of a high maintenance wife and he’s already gay so it’s a win win for me. God what a fucking prick.
Nah, this story would've gone in a whole different direction had that been the case. That part of the story where Shiba was saying about the whole 22 years thing of falling ("completely" as he phrased it) in love with Tokizou, in Japanese he was doubtful about Tokizou's interest in him (something like 'I'm questioning that Tokizou doesn't have feelings for me' or something like that).
It may be a punchline in the manga, but Tokizou's camouflage technique, for all intents and purposes, I'd interpret was pretty much effective except for that lapse in the flashback.
So true! But he's a seme in a yaoi manga, what do you expect? For him it's a choice between being a rapist, a cheater, or trash who mooches off the uke's love, so at least this guy seems to have chosen the less..criminal option, lol. I sure hope that sometime in the near future mangaka will think to start writing at least a few decent, forthright seme; I'm seriously considering ditching this genre altogether.
So THAT'S how he dies. Damn. Or is he still alive? A fitting end would be for Sangwoo to live, but be crippled and Bum takes care of him the rest of his life. He wouldn't be able to kill, he'd realize Bum really loves him and the relationship would be in Bum's hands finally. Though the cop would have to die... or at least think Sangwoo died.
It's a little confusing. Fujino said he likes the other guy, right? But he gets raped by the mc, they make up and they start dating? Like others have pointed out, maybe Fujino really liked the mc and was just gauging his reaction to gays by telling him he likes the other guy? I guess I'm just glad there was a happy ending?
Really cute and really cute ending, but I feel like the rape kinda ruined it. It's hard to appreciate the ending when I don't really like the seme anymore. I get that he's suffered for years with unrequited love, but it's hard to FEEL that as it wasn't shown. And what WAS shown is that he's been fingering his straight friend's ass when he gets drunk for such a long period of time that he was already used to being entered. The story was trying to push the seme as a victim of unrequited love, but his actions make him look like a yandere. Knowing that he'd been fingering him when he gets drunk kinda destroys the image the story was going for, the purity is gone and it looks like lust rather than love. It's like the author couldn't decide if they wanted raunchy sex appeal or story. And it WAS sexy, I'll definitely give the scene that, it just seemed out of place. The rest of the story was about story, then random rape and... Back to the story. It's hard to feel like the seme really loves him like the story was pushing when he was willing to rape him and then leave. It looked like lust. Then there was the bit where he says he's "just waiting", making it look like he was expecting the MC to run back to him. I guess I just don't like the manipulative character covered by the in-love puppy facade when it's clear he'd built up a dependency in the MC and was expecting him to come crawling back after he left him alone.
That came out of nowhere... The brother had no purpose in this other than to tell them where two men do intercourse and for a sexy scene where he touches the MC. Really weird scene where the seme admits he's wondered what it'd be like to do it with a sibling... MC also thought the brothers had sex... I guess the author wanted some incest partway in.











Now he knows what Yohan said! Glad Yuri's going to send Moogyeong instead of going himself, he's very helpful~ Let's see how this goes~ ヾ(☆▽☆)
