Fantastic art but the ending was a bit too open & sad. Apart from the Seme's late awakening, it would be better if the author left us some more hints of hope.
[Spoilers]... The Seme couldn't survive w/o consuming the Uke's energy of life, no way out for them. Although they balanced well, both still had shorter lifespan than normal people. What a terrible fate! (T_T)
BTW. Seemed like Hisayo-sama & his mom were secret lover. She marries son just to be close to mother and had her lover's bloodline then. That's why they seemed so happy together even w/o him. (O_O;)

Best Art of Maruya Kae! .•✿✿•. Beautiful Romance-Drama of Stepbrothers!
Some parts were dragged a bit too long, I wanna cut that parts out to have some more of their hot scenes as normal people who're crazy in love & lived together. On the erotic bath scenes(ch.6-7), when the uke begged for more, they should have done it since then.
Anyway, I still like it a lot and enjoy reading this.

"A Senpai" ≫ The Senpai called "A". Cool! - This mangaka is really something. (`•¸¸•´)
The Seme fell for someone who seemed like only using him as a substitute,
the mangaka represented his character by a no-face guy as if he's nobody for the Uke. (T_T)
Anyway, he kept trying hard, until he got his heart, not only body. Woah!!
Congrats! Finally, our devoted Seme got a face!! Yeah!! (^‿^)/

I like your analyzes of mangas. They meet what I normally think too.

He actually got the prize!! first a-sampei was a "no face" but then c-kun started 2 c da Sparks shining n was a bit of confused abt his remain feelings for b-sempei n da new real feelings abt a-sempei...the moment c-kun looked propebly at a-sempei he realised da feelings of him n felt sry 4 him of using him untill now

I also understood it like that n i think the moment a-sempai hit b-sempai, who was trying 2 make a fool out of c-kun n a-sempai cos of beeing jealous of a-sempai n angry at c-kun that he choos a-sempai instead of him, c-kun finally realised a-sempais feelings n startend 2 cry. He was angry abt himself 4 using a-sempai w/out even realising bis true feelings n he is also confused abt his remaining feelings 4 b-sempai n the New feelings 4 a-sempai...n i also belive that he crys cos he's 2 afraid of telling a-sempai da truth plus he isn't sure abt what 2 tell him now...if he likes b-sempai more then a-sempai vor da other way

Pure young love! .•●●•. Beautiful story, I like it.
End this way, it might be classic but it's a bit too sad. (T_T) Sequel, please.

Have to separate from your beloved just a moment after you two confessed, it's super painful & sad to me. (ಥ‿ಥ)
Yeah, I also believe he will come back. Anyway, how he's punished, the custom must be very rigid at that time that why I wanna see the sequel or even 1 extra page to assure that they can live happily together.
BTW, This one is super cute... wanna try?

Excuse me, let me jump double-kick the uke's ex first. OK Feel better now.(>_O)v
At first, seeing how pure & delicate of Keito, I started to concern how could he survive in this cruel world. Later, I just realized Riri-chan looked after him like a big sis/mommy (HA+), now he also had such a considerate good wife, he should be fine then. (^.^)/
These couple made the same world became much more beautiful. ✿✿
BTW, Even though, my favorite coffee is Cappuccino, now I wanna try Latte in the starry night. ★☆★ XD
I think big bro loved young bro but hated his stepmother or didn't accept her. The conflict in his mind caused him behaved strangely liked that.
Wife tried to hurt them back but... seemed like it effected in the opposite way.
If stepmother was actually his real mom, then the conflict was cleared. He could love his young bro with his whole heart that why he didn't blind himself on their last met.
I can't imagine what will happen to wife when she knows about her cute son.
The stepmom is still his stepmom.They are related through their dad since Takezou's mother was having an affair with big bro's dad even if they were both married.
At first I also thought that they may be only half brother, but 99.9% DNA test made me think that they probably real brother, the big bro may be just stepson of the first wife. I may be wrong. The truth is still revealed all. So we just wait & see.
The truth is still NOT revealed all. So we just wait & see.
...I think it doesn't make sense for them to be real full brothers at all.The test says "possibility of being related by blood:99.9%" it doesn't say if they're brothers,uncle,or whatever... even though we know they're obviously related at a sibling level.It says clearly in early chapters that Takezou's mother went to the big brother's father to get some money as they were having an affair for some times now.Later on, the two got married. The most probable is that the father was married to his wife that came from an equally respectable family but was seeing Takezou's mother, a married woman coming from a lower class, in secret.Eventually they officially got together either the father divorced his first wife or she died. We also know that the big bro was extremely close to his mother which is why he despised Takezou and his mother. I think it would make zero sense for him to be the child of Takezou's mother.
So yeah like you say we don't know what the author has in mind so you may be right, it would just be super weird in my opinion if they were full brothers instead of half.
