I loved, loved this story at first, but then Ken filming an AV ruined it for me. He said he needed money, but Asakura had been insisting that Ken rely on him for Motoki's sake, and if Ken had just swallowed his pride about the money, sucked it up, and confessed to Asakura (I mean, really, it was obvious Asakura liked him and he totally had a chance), then he wouldn't have had to do the AV. And Ken's "oh yeah, he's not my lover, we only filmed an AV ALL DAY yesterday together, it's no big deal, I needed the money" attitude, along with Asakura's "oh gee, I feel so much better now that you told me that" light-hearted response is just too easy. Asakura should have been like, "WTF?! You didn't need to do that you dumbshit!" I'm dumbfounded. The manga was good enough (cuteness, tension, hardship) without that turn of events.

    My feelings exactly!

    Work is still work. He already explained it was his work before, and they weren't together the time it happened so I can't see what's the problem.

    What bothers me is that they COULD HAVE BEEN together, if pride was set aside and blinders off to the fact that Asakura was obviously more than open minded to having a relationship. Ken didn't want to get back into the industry because of Motoki and only did it for the money so that he could move out of Asakura's place, which he didn't need to do if he listened to Asakura's pleas, and openly confessed to Asakura in the first place. No AV needed.

    But it was not unnecessary (discounting the fact that it was a way to put into the lights to Asakura that he wanted to have something with Ken), the AV opened new jobs for Ken, like the theater acting which was something he wanted to do. Thing was, it was not as shown because the romantic side was clearly what was important. I believe it was nice to put that, even though I'd have wanted to see more that side of him. Pride showing and misunderstandings/jealousy are almost a standard on many BL works, and this time it was managed rather nicely I believe.

I'm sure it will probably turn out ok, like they get together in the end, but hard-core tsundere ukes who start off with slutty tendencies (in your face slutty too)...I don't know, makes me feel kinda icky. I might see how this goes once it's translated, but something tells me I might regret it.

    Madao July 24, 2015 4:44 am

    Agreed. I know I'mma regret this so bad. I always regretting when the uke start out slutty and cold-hearted like this because they always like someone else and cheat on the seme later. NOOOOOOO....

iamxrae July 15, 2015 6:58 am

but slutty partners are not a fave of mine.

    Baka girl July 15, 2015 2:28 pm

    Yeah same here, but I'm going to keep a close eye on this one to see how it progresses. (▰˘◡˘▰)

    I agree

    Me too. I'm hoping it goes in a good direction and has a not-so-slutty ending. haha

That last chapter was kinda shitty.

    keziah July 14, 2015 3:26 pm

    Yep,I really want more chapter pleaseヾ(☆▽☆)

What is Azuma planning? hoho

iamxrae June 29, 2015 6:54 am

cuz I know I'm going to get slammed by everyone who like this, but I just found this story irritating. Yoshinaga irritated me with his constant trying to "reign in" Takao - just find someone better already. Takao simply pissed me off. I don't need to read this again.

    Lisa August 17, 2015 7:58 am

    Well, whatever. We all have our own opinions of this story.

    Water-an'-Wisdom September 25, 2015 4:57 am

    I didn't like it cause Takao was always chearing on Yoshinaga. I loved the story though... Just not Takao cheating Yoshinaga every single chance he got.

Don't expect any sex. It's just a sweet, leisurely story with no conflict.

iamxrae June 26, 2015 10:28 am

I love her "two brothers and a friend" type stories!

iamxrae June 26, 2015 9:47 am

lot's of people calling him a slut and wondering about his motives. It's simple - he's angry. Mostly angry at his brother, angry at Arata for using him as revenge, and possibly some anger issues stemming from being the 2nd son of a wealthy family (and from a mistress too, I think). When people get angry, they don't think straight and make some stupid decisions. It doesn't help that he's only 18 or 19, and that he's now working right smack in the middle of the sex industry.

    Eva June 26, 2015 12:24 pm

    I agree but it also to the affect that he's trying to distract himself but is also angry and he going with his strongest emotions rather than thinking thing through or figuring out what is important. I'm betting he's regret quiet a few things he's doing and are going to do. And too many people are quick to call people sluts. Hell I went out with some out in middle school and was called a slut when nothing happened and now he's hella gay and open about it.

Especially after I've read some weird or effed up manga that made me feel icky inside. This manga always puts me right.
