all the cheating husbands really didn't do it for me though. I can understand the two have been friends since HS, but really once one of them got married, the sex side of the relationship should have stopped unless it was with the wife's consent. It wasn't really presented in that way. At least the other guy was good enough to cut off the sex friend relationship when he got a lover and committed to him.
You need to understand that in Japan marriage is seen as mostly a duty and a contract. So this depiction is not something odd. It would be easier to understand if you think about it as marriage in Edwardians times, where people married for status, wealth and appearance. If you think for example in pride and prejudice where Elizabeth Bennett's friend is regarded as a spinster for not being married at the age of 25, in Japan is pretty much the same.
In this manga you can see it with the guy who goes to sleep to his co-worker's flat because his wife doesn't let him in after a certain time. In a flashback you find out his wife is cheating and he's regarded as a "pay packet".
I hope they support the boys and don't end up trying to rip them apart or hurt them more. If they really want to get Xiang back to a healthy point, he needs that, not more rejection
I think the professor actually wants to let the uke go, so he set him up with the student as a way to free his attachment. Maybe by this point he is over the betrayal, but knows the uke is still bound by guilt.
ok, yes the uke is an ass, but everyone treating the seme like an angel is getting on my nerves. This is just for the English translation up to this point. I know communication gets better later.
Let's replace the word uke for wife for a moment.
1. He's never said "I like you" or "I care about you" to the wife.
2. He's never told others he cares for the wife, in fact all the wife over hears is the fact he's being used as a muse.
3. He's constantly telling his wife that she is stupid and can't make good decisions.
4. He tries to stop his wife from getting a job, and then says she can only have one he approves of where he can keep an eye on her.
5. Tries to stop her from seeing friends.
6. When the wife tries to leave him, he physically restrains her and rapes her. It doesn't matter what kind of sex they had in the past, consent given once does not mean consent for life.
Now yes, he does care for the Uke and is working on becoming a better person, but looking at this from the Uke's point of view on the limited information he's been given, there are so many red flags to an abusive relationship, he would be stupid not to want out.
You are SO RIGHT! Still damn poor baby. I agree with not liking the seme in his POV.(I think he might like him somewhat)(a pinch)
OMG YESSS. Finally, someone says it. Both of them are selfish and this isn't good for any relationship. At least, the omega is someone who still is fighting with something and not "falling in love" at first sight because of the alpha.
I don't like any of them, but it's incoherent that some people love the alpha when he's the same as the other one.
Sure, if any of that was in context and wasn't blown way out of proportion by a clearly biased person... (￣∇￣")
1. He's never been in a position till now where he WOULD say "i like you" or other sweet nothings as they aren't in a relationship and he only JUST realised his feelings.
2. He was having a private conversation that the uke eavesdropped on and took however he wanted without asking what was meant or allowing Dojin to explain. Look at the scene where he's leaving and watch Dojin offer to talk and try to explain.
3. Out of context, he never says it that harshly and only says it because he had to save Hyesung from 2 scams, the "alpha hormone spray" that almost sicks a crowd of alphas on him when he goes into heat not realizing he's an omega and the sex scam Dojin spends an assload of money saving him from. Then he almost gets into a 3rd scam.
4. Again, out of context and this goes into that "3rd scam" i just mentioned, Hyesung went to go to another scam interview RIGHT after being saved from the sex scam, so Dojin tells him to run them by him.
5. I'm assuming by this you mean "tries to stop Hyesung from leaving in a huff because of a misunderstanding because Hyesung eavesdropped and misunderstood what was said"? He's trying to talk to him and explain.
6. He didn't "try" to do anything, you're reading an omegaverse where biology is different, he was accused of "threatening" Hyesung so he let out his pheromones to prove that he's never used them on Hyesung before. That's why Hyesung says "these are his pheromones?", he's never felt them before. He was upset that Hyesung was implying he even WOULD threaten him since he'd done nothing but treat him well...
Thank you! I was getting so sick of reading comments against the Uke. I like both characters, they are both flawed and their relationship has been wonky and on the edge. Personally, I look forward to reading how the Seme wins the Uke over.
So it is one biased person arguing with another biased person. Just saying, you are a bit hypocritical.

I think it would quite a stretch to claim that Dojin doesn't want Hyesung to work. Infact, he himself got the job Hyesung is working in right now. Perhaps you've forgotten that Hyesung did try to get jobs, and they were all awful because he was now an omega. So Dojin, by getting him a good job, was actually looking out for him. And Hyesung also took this new job by choice.
Also, as for Hyesung leaving.., after reading 20 chapters, it always amazes me how Hyesung always tries to leave when Dojin is around. Dojin goes to work everyday, and it never occurred to Hyesung to leave when Dojin isn't around? I think Hyesung is more interested in getting more stuff out of Dojin, than actually leaving.
Also, if you notice Hyesung before he overheard the conversation where Dojin admits he gets musical inspiration from sleeping with Hyesung/when Dojin brings an alpha home to sleep with, it is clear that Hyesung has some feelings for him, whether or not he admits it.
Also this idea that Hyesung cannot control himself but Dojin can during heat is based on what? Just because Dojin is thinking doesn't mean he is in control. Just because the author doesn't show Hyesung's thoughts doesn't mean he is not thinking and not in control. Ofcourse Dojin's thoughts are going to be warped. Probably he himself doesn't realise it. Dojin is the one who has always hated the Omega-alpha dependence. Hyesung was the one who, when he believed he was an alpha, wanted to use it to land a wealthy omega and live a wealthy life
You said consent given once doesn't mean consent for life. The same applies in reverse. Consent given later doesn't mean consent beforehand. Hyesung jumped Dojin while he was sleeping, pulled out his dick and started sucking on it. So what if Dojin woke up and then gave consent. What happened while Dojin was sleeping is still rape!!! Did Hyesung have consent for it? He initiated with a sleeping Dojin, without Dojin's consent.
As Dojin said, the problem here is that Hyesung's personality during and not during heat are entirely different. So we have no idea what it is exactly that Hyesung wants. (Well atleast we know that he's willing to do anything for money!)
Maybe if Dojin didn't have to save Hyesung from multiple scams, some even while Hyesung owes Dojin money for the previous scams he was saved from, Dojin would be perfectly happy sending Hyesung on his way!
Sorry for the long post. My classes are yet to begin, so I had nothing better to do and rant XD!
Not really... You don't know anything about my viewpoint on Hyesung. Calling someone a hypocrite doesn't mean you win dear.
I don’t know why you are offended, dear. (〜￣△￣)〜 I wasn’t even picking a fight. Everyone has their own opinions. Geez.
Lol, i'm not interested in playing games with you, your reply was clearly passive-aggressive. More on the aggressive side, tbh. You did nothing but insult me calling me "biased and hypocritical"... Stop messaging me if you "don't want a fight". ╮(￣▽￣)╭
You insulted the person on this thread then. You clearly called them biased and then you got offended when someone called you biased. I would say you don’t know their viewpoints if you go with your arguement towards me.
Except they made their viewpoint of Dojin very clear in their comment with all that slander... I didn't talk about Hyesung at all, i just looked at each of LadyBelle's bullet points and gave the context behind them, but somehow you got "he hates Hyesung" out of me defending Dojin... Lol. Not the same scenario at all. Nice try. Are you done? The reply wasn't even to you, get over yourself.
In addition to this^. I called them biased based on all the slander, you called me biased based on nothing.
cute, but just drops off. What about the friend, what about their relationship, so many questions left.
I’m pretty sure the friend was just messing around (the last panel the friend was in the other asked “when are you gonna stop messing around with them?” And he was laughing), I think he was just playing with them for fun.
His friend is a sadist. He's just having fun at their expense. Tho I also wanna see what happens when their alone. （￣へ￣）
He's so handsome, but he just can't ever be nice to me. That's called abuse. Gay relationships can be abusive as well. It's not somehow cute or sweet just because you both have dicks.
I wonder if the older brother thinks the younger one likes watching. After all, he keeps suggesting if he wants to bring someone over, even though the older brother hasn't done it with anyone else, and now that he isn't doing it with other, the younger brother seems to have lost interest in him. So maybe bringing home the new guy is either to make the bro jealous, or the older one thinks that is what the younger one actually wants and that is how to get his attention again.
This author seems to have a ton of couples where the poor virgin uke just gets it shoved in with no prep or lube. At least the dog was nice enough to try and stretch out his partner, the humans just shove it on in. Maybe they are just hoping for blood to act as enough lube, although there never seems to be pain involved.
Yaoi's uke aren't normal human beings, they follow the rules of yaoi world : elastic anus and total lost of strenght when turned on
Don't forget self lubricating and able to have multiple orgasms.
hopefully they learned lesson and will talk instead of letting misunderstandings boil over, but thinking that would be a no in yaoi
