Let me give you a little example to show yall how this story has been going on;
Ash: What do you want for dinner? (In 1 panel)
Lyle, In his mind: Omg, he's hungry, I didn't know. How could I have not noticed he was hungry, I'm ashamed of myself. I need to cook something.....Wait what if he hates my cooking and wants to order food??Then what do I do??? Should I just ASK HIM WHAT HE WANTS??......ofc not, that's crazy. I should just order food from....wait a minute....I dont even know what he where he wants to order from!!! what should I do know?? I dont even know what he wants to eat!!!!. what do i do know?????? (In 70 panels)
Lyle; Verbally: ...........Yes
~~
Anyways, Happy new years yall

DUDE, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I’VE BEEN SCREAMING ABOUT KARL’S THOUGHTs. It drives me up a wall. Like I laugh at how MUCH we have to read just for him to either pout, give someone a shocked expression, or a plan response. They hog up a LOT of panels that could have been used for better deliveries/ to get to the point.

Everyone's talking about how cute this was, and for the most part it's fine, but I don't like how the uke knows that seme is putting effort and is trying to make their relationship work yet he was CONSTANTLY telling seme he's not his type and he'll have to be 10yrs older to be. Thats wild. Uke later on changes what he said and says seme is his type but hes still gonna "train him to his liking" and "raise" him to mature more into his type. Wtf.
As I said, the rest of the story is all cupckaes and rainbows, but the shit that the uke says and does sometimes are weird asf. I mean who blindfolds themselves just so they cant look at their partner's face and imagine someone else?? lmaoooo ik that they weren't together at that time but its still so insane. But also what kind of person is happy to go on business trips just so that he can CHECK OUT older men WHILE IN A RELATIONSHIP??
It's like in one moment, it seems like he loves the seme but in the next it's like he isn't even trying to NOT cause problems and cares more about seme's performance in bed. The seme even commented about how uke should care about emotional aspects fo their relationship instead of just the physical too. I feel sorry for the seme sometimes, at least he isn't constantly fawning over other men and making the uke jealous. If only the uke could do the same for him. If Watabe(seme) did what he's doing, he'd be FURIOUS.
I LOVE healthy possessive couples especially when its the bottom thats possessive or obsessive, but this ain't it chief I'm sorry.
~~
On another note, can we talk about the fact that the "seme" isnt a seme but a seke. From what he said in chap 1, hes DEFINITELY had experience as a bottom. Now, I wish he bottomed for the uke at least ONCE.
END OF RANT~( ・3・)

Why is it that at this point in Lyle still can't communicate his feelings, ik that he's anxious and insecure but CMON!!!. After everything that had happened, you're gonna believe that "friend" you barely even like over you're bf??.
Why is it that Lyle always fails to communicate his feelings, starts making decisions based on his insecurities and Ash; like the sweetheart he is, ALWAYS has to be the one to communicate and make him understand.
Lyle needs to learn how to take the initiative and ask questions for once. I'm hoping he does soon.
--
Also since the first chapter I noticed that Lyle barely speaks compared to his inner dialogue. He talks A LOT in his head but barely actually voices his opinions, feelings, worries or questions. I thought that there would be some character development in that aspect but I was wrong. He really needs to say what's on his mind more often.
He himself even pointed that out pointed that out but there's still not been even a hint of change.
(゜゜;)

This might just be my perception, but I think it's a mixture of being taught (and punished into understanding) that his thoughts are unimportant and he shouldn't speak unless spoken to by his grandfather and being unbearably shy and unsure. My bias for this comes in, I'm personally very outgoing but really awkward at dating and can be cagey and unsure which translates to quiet even to my detriment, so some of my empathy is just relating based on projection. But I DO think some of his horrible communication skills was taught into him by the terrible, neglectful, and downright abusive upbringing he had. Like, the first time he's told his own grandfather and parents "No" and made a boundary has been in this timeline when he's a whole grown man with a career and complete independence separate from his family title.

Absolutely loved the story but I dont fuck with that Eiji guy, his vibe was off the moment he heard that Junta had a boyfriend, like why did he start making assumptions and saying negative things about him already?? Weird.
I get that he was trying to be protective of his friend but he was doing too much really┐(-。-;)┌.
Anyways, Junta and Arata are amazing and so cute together. An amazing green flag and badass couple. They're so inlove with each other it's almost sickening(I mean this in the most positive way possible lmao)

I read some comments about the uke being an annoying ass man-child and so on, and after reading the story I can say that y'all were NOT lying wtf.
He's so fucking stupid it hurts, how has he not died yet with the way he can't sense impending danger at all. Did he never learn the lesson about "stranger-danger" as a kid or what??. How does he fall for the most obvious sketchy jobs known to man so easily???. It's not even cute or anything, it's just aggravating to watch. It's like he's obsessed with dangerous sex work and is doing this on purpose atp.
Also; one part that got me was, he literally always crashes at Kaname's place and takes his money but then he tells Kaname that hes not a freeloader, like huh?? Babe, you've BEEN one.
For someone who says they're inlove with Kaname, he really treats him like shit. Especially comapred to how Kaname treats him.
The seme is absolutely amazing, literally the only good thing about this story.
My second time reading this and for sure; the first couple is completely ass. The uke is a complete asshole throughout the story, he sexually assaulted the seme and also he doesn't even like seme. He only wants him for his dick.
The people saying they were "cute" are delusional and only like it cuz the uke was more "dominant". Let's not confuse being a jackass to being dominant, please.
And the second couple was fine and their relationship was cute until we find out he's a high schoolerΣ( ̄□ ̄;). why????
exactly, people would be less forgiving if the section chief was the top in the first story. it’s still rape, manipulation and abuse of power. he never truly apologizes or seems to care about how his actions affect the seme. god that pisses me off.
THANK YOUU
he doesn't even care about the seme at all, there's no love there even.
The way that more people would have been hating and calling him abusive in the comments if the seme was the asshole but whenever the asshole is the uke suddenly everyone thinks it's just cute
I WAS SEARCHING FOR A COMMENT LIKE THIS BROO
I went to read this thinking it was cute fluff but both the stories were ass wtf
RIIGHTT I hate when this happens, I was expecting so much cuz a lot of the comments were so positive..turns out it was all straight dookie┐(-。-;)┌
