Regarding the sexism in chapter 3. This manga is Japanese. Unfortunately, they're still struggling with blatant sexism. Even women still believe they're lesser than men. Women are still 2nd class citizens and not to be taken seriously. The Japanese ooh and aah when someone shows they are an "exception," but otherwise go back to their previous belief towards women.
I know a lot of young girls that want to live in Japan, but I always warn them about how difficult it can be living there as a female when it comes to sexism.
I do believe that the younger generation are putting their foot down more, but it's going to be an uphill battle, and slow to catch on. Good luck to them.
I loved the story but was just a liiiitttlle bit uncomfortable during the sex scenes.
Hard to understand the translations. The line "I don't have flanks!" in the 2nd chapter completely stumped me until I read the raws. It's actually supposed to say "Don't grab my side!" Anyway, it's a love triangle that concludes peacefully.
SPOILER
Kei loved Yuto since high school but has a physical relationship with Ryou. Yuto runs into them again 6 months after high school so it appears Kei's feelings for him are still there, and this bothers Ryou who really does love Kei. The part of the story that hasn't been translated yet is mostly about Kei trying to figure things out, which he realizes his feelings when he finds out from master (the bar owner) that Ryou is leaving town. So everything turns out well between the two in the end. Yuto rarely makes appearances, only a few times, but in the end, is in full support of his friends.
I thought I was the only one ><
You switched Kei and Ryou's names. I read this before the manga and it made me so confused lol. So yea, Ryou is in love with Yuto and Kei is in love with Ryou. For future readers.
Yikes, thanks for the catch. I do have a hard time with names sometimes.
So when is Kaji Sensei going to say "those words" to Midori? I'm still waiting for his love confession.
I kinda hope that Sugao-kun (glasses seme) and infirmary sensei experience some well-deserved emotional pain. They both knew that Naoki liked sensei, but they had sex knowing that he was on the other side of the curtain. Apparently Sugao really does like sensei, and it's obvious sensei has some past emotional trauma, but that's no excuse. Now with gay transfer student Ryou confessing to Naoki, there's a whole new factor to potentially mix things up. This could go any number of ways, good or bad. I'm just worried that sensei is going to do something else that's selfish, despicable, and underhanded.
Me, too. I can't stand either Sugao or the sensei. He may have have thought he'd been doing it 'out of kindness' but kindness actually involves the consent of ALL the other people involved. So, no, he was being entirely SELFISH.
Right, what a couple of fuck ugly bitches
Yeah once the psycho decided to hurt others continuing the cycle I stop caring about him and anything that happened to him. You don't get to claim victim after that. Sugao-shit better let it end with the psycho and back off the happy couple. (╬￣皿￣)凸
Karma. They deserve some nice karma for what they did. I can't wait but I hope nothing happens to the cute new couple.
I'm worried sensei is going to focus his attention on the new transfer student, because he's cute and gay. That bitch better keep his hands off.
Yeah, but if he tries to do something I hope he gets rejected the worse way possible.
No use fighting it little yakuza boy, stop denying it and just embrace it already. You NEED to be thoroughly fucked by the master, and deep down inside you know it no matter how tough you act. Now that master has his eye on you, that closet door isn't going to stay shut for much longer, so just kick it down and bare your ass in all its virginal glory.
Yeah, I read the raws and it's quite a roller coaster ride. Halfway through I was about to throw my computer, but I kept going and glad I did. Sort of spoiler:
You will hate the old seme with a passion (which you probably already do), you will hate Mitsuru (uke) and feel sorry for him at the same time, and you'll definitely feel bad for the cute new seme. BUT, at least the right people make the right decisions for a happy ending. Though not sure if that will change if another volume shows up. I read through the 2 available volumes. I was glad to finally see a character that didn't end up so in love with a narcissist that he makes do with being manipulated, abused, and victimized.
Where did u read the raws???
Another reader posted it in the comments earlier, but not sure if there's some issues with permissions or what not.
Vol 1 http://yaoi18.com/doronuma
Vol 2 https://yadi.sk/d/GKInoKrn3NDgJD
Thanks
Please at least tell me who uke-kun ends up with, it's nerve wracking not to know.
Amen
huhh??? i don't understand the ending
With new seme. Who is holding him
Thank you for kindly replying but do you mean he ends up with the bartender guy from the second chapter? I'm confused and I don't get what's going on in the raws. Please, can you explain further?
yes he ends up with bartender seme after being raped by his ex seme :(
Thank you very much, you kind person! At least he ends up with someone nice, but that horrid first seme, I hope he gets some damage too for being an abusive jerk.
After some ups and downs and ups, it appears the uke ends up with the bartender seme, but there will be angst along the way. Also, not sure if that's the absolute end or if it will continue.
Sorry, I replied without seeing the other comments first :)
No problem, at least you were nice enough to reply, thanks. (●'◡'●)ﾉ
Didn't like the second story. I'm not the kind of person that can just sit by and let people play mind fuck games or do hurtful things on purpose. It gets me super pissed off. For example, someone flirting or cheating on purpose in hopes that it will make the person they REALLY like jealous. I'm a horrible person in that way, I guess, because I am just SO inflexible - playing any kind of game like that with me is a huge NOPE and we're done. Even if I had feelings for them, their actions show a lack of disrespect and selfishness - huge red flags in my book. I'm also a horrible person because I can be petty, in a payback's-a-bitch kind of way when I'm at my last straw and I've just had it with someone. If I were Aki, I would have brought another guy into my dorm room for a make out session - right in front of Chitose, see how he feels.
Oml I just started crying because it felt like you read my mind
Yes goddAMN YOU ARE SO RIGHT. THANK YOU. （/TДT)/
PREACH!
The art was lacking. Some of it was like, "whoa, ugly" and some of it was "he looks hot." I think the plot was a good one, but cramming it into one short chapter was doing it a disservice. I would like to have seen it stretched out over the course of several chapters, with more detail, more suspense, and much more character development.
I thoroughly agree with you desire to see the story stretched out. I don't know anything about the artist, but from the clues in the artwork and the storytelling, I'm guessing they are pretty new at this. If I'm correct, for a first timer, they did a pretty darn good job, IMHO. I'd love to see more of them to watch their artwork and storytelling evolve and improve. If I'm not correct, and this is one of hundreds of pieces with the same art style and abrupt story line, the artist could use a manager or editor to help them hone and improve. A second set of critical eyes that you can trust to have your best interests at heart is indispensable for any artist. The potential is there, they just need to reach it.
After reading chapters 2 and 3, my rating dropped.
