i think i might enjoy this a lot more on a second readthrough... now that i know what the fuck is actually happining in the story （/TДT)/ idk, the ending felt abrupt and kind of vague, but i want to like it so i'll give it a second chance lmao
maybe i've just read this 100 times too many, but... their relationship has such a natural progression, and they refer back to the noncon so many times throughout the story, that it DOESN'T shock me to think about how their relationship began when we see how fluffy they are now. like... i get that it's a long story, but it's a super gradual, natural growth of feelings!!!
their relationship started with manipulation, of course, but that was cast aside very quickly. yu has complicated (and sympathetic) feelings for takamada at a pretty early point in the story - earlier than you might have noticed unless you read closely. and besides that, once takamada deleted the photos, that could have been the end of it... but yu realized he wanted to have sex with takamada, so he chased him down and insisted on it!! AND he was the one who initiated the FWB situation (that's what he means when he tells takamada that he'll "keep him company from time to time" or w/e) which yu had NO reason to do, other than the fact that he wanted to get dicked!!! there was no coercion whatsoever at that point, lmao. it was role reversal!! yu was taking what he wanted!!（/TДT)/
yu is incredibly compassionate (to his own detriment, obviously), but it makes perfect sense that he would be so patient and understanding with someone as deeply flawed as takamada. if this were real life, yeah, takamada can go kick rocks. but it's not real life, and both of these characters are growing and learning and changing together, and their dynamic is perfect!!! IDK i feel like i could do a thesis on why this story works so well lol. i loooooove it. i hope it never ends ♡
aesthetically, this is very fresh and interesting. but i think the author is coasting on that a lil bit too much... the plot should have taken off by now, but there really isn't one. i think a slow burn would have worked better for a story like this. it just feels rushed and underdeveloped. and the sexual tension being broken by dream scenes/jerking off kind of ruined what the story had been building towards.
IDK, it's fine. i'm just a bit disappointed. this story should be so much more tender than it is now. i will keep reading, and i hope the story proves me wrong. i really want it to win me back lol
this story was so cute and funny!!! wtf noooo ┗( T﹏T )┛ so OOC too... also rape is not equivalent "payback" for scamming someone LMAO, i have no clue what the author was thinking. absolutely insane shit. fucking BLOOD??? genuinely disturbing, seme is psycho, this story has zero appeal now. i wish the uke had been way meaner all along lol
these scans are only up to four seasons vol 2 (which is actually vol 7, the labels for the books are super confusing). vol 8 comes out later this year, and idk if it'll be completed after that, but it's not completed as of now. don't worry guys lol
i feel like i'm the only one who loves both the noncon AND the sweet parts of the story (￣∇￣") frfr this is my favourite BL of all time. i even bought all the japanese books and the drama CD ლ(´ڡ`ლ) i hope this manga never ends!!!
this BL is so mid. yeah it's kinda cute for the first season, and i guess the second one, too. but season three onwards.... girl. the first sex scene is kinda hot bc we had to wait so long for it, but after that point... omg, it's every other chapter, and of COURSE they have to fuck 4 times per session. no damn way bom isn't sore for 90% of his life LOL
also, taesung is the opposite of a green flag for me once we see them fuck, bc bom will straight up tell him "it hurts, stop," and taesung keeps going every time, MULTIPLE TIMES lol. it's so cringey, i end up sighing with disappointment when taesung takes bom's pants off and starts dry fingering his ass. no wonder it hurts. like, taesung regrets their first sober kiss bc he forced himself on bom, but then he proceeds to do that for the remainder of the comic lol... he never asks bom what he wants, it's just assumed that bom will bottom? estupido. i wasn't surprised by the final sex scene in the story - it's par for the course. open your eyes.
i know this BL is beloved to many, but i genuinely think everyone who says that is delusional, or has not read enough BL... LOL. i was disappointed on my first readthrough, and i straight-up hated it on my second. i refuse to believe this is some people's #1 fav BL. the mom and the blond guy are the only good characters. also the eyes are drawn too close together
signed, a certified hater. don't like don't read includes this comment ♡
i didn't realise at first that the seme was just pretending to like the uke... that really soured me on the plot. i hate this kind of convoluted love triangle nonsense. -_- it seemed so cute at first!! i finished the story but it just felt so weird the whole time... the seme is so mean!!
