I liked all the stories, preference I guess. I thought they were all alright, the couples were all different as well as the plot and how they progressed. It was something new with each couple so I wasn't bored. They all have a sense of happiness but their own type if you will. It went from vanilla sweet, to bittersweet with each progressing couple. Honestly it's a matter of taste. For me, I liked the second couple the best. Their story was the most interesting from my perspective and they each had their own strengths and weaknesses. Overall, the manga was good, was it great? No. But was it good, yea. And for some most likely it'll be meh.
Like I agree the dad is sexy AF and I feel like the son is gonna make me cringe at one point for looking foolish....however the dad is running a freakin prostitution ring and let's not forget he has orphaned and well bred kids training for this line of work. And he's an effing pedophile! At least the son seems to be someone who may take this operation down but the dad just gives me the creeps at this point. He was daddy AF in the beginning but now he looks and feels like a sleeze. He wouldn't be sexy if he was fat, balding, or ugly so Idk why peeps keep forgetting that he's done some messed up things and probs more we don't even know about. Like does he kill anyone who tries to escape, or what about the kids who can't perform well when it's their time to be bought and their first ain't with some attractive fellow at least. Like it's some old ugly geezer or hag. This whole story is making me frustrated for them.....which means so far the artist is doing a dang good job at making me invested XD
I find the father disgusting, that old pedophile dude.
His son is a idiot too, hope he improves.
I wish the prostitute finds his freedom and happines ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Same I'm like crying inside hoping for his freedom even if the son is kind of an idiot who makes me cringe sometimes. Like I was getting second hand embarrassment when he ran into the building and tried opening the salon, he looked too eager and everyone there just looks at him like a kid so it made it even worse. (๑-﹏-๑)||
Wait, I haven't seen raws so I may be missing something, but he doesn't own or run the Cyrene brothel/salon... I thought he's the wealthiest, highest-status customer. He did buy the boy's virginity and didn't seem to try to make it easy for him, so he's still a douche who pays to fuck possibly underage pubescent kids who have no choice - but he's not the owner as far as I know. Also to be fair we're not told exactly how old Rent Boy was when he did his first job, he might have been technically legal but magically youthful-looking like so many characters in yaoi. I mean, the dad looks almost the same age as the son.
If the papa isn't the owner, he isn't the one who groomed kids (or had kids groomed) for sex work by legally and practically sexually abusing them. BUT even so he does support and take full advantage of a place that does it, so again still a douche.
Totally agree that the son/MC is going to embarrass himself (and me) at some point!!! (〜￣△￣)〜
That's what I understood so far too!
the father is a little more than "a douche" stop making excuses for him just because you think he's hot
Ahh I went back and reread and I got mixed up. Since it was coming of age ceremony and his dad walked in as if he owned the salon so I must have just assumed he ran it since arnault has been there for a long time and is like 'The Noble'. I thought he put someone in charge, like the manager, and they would watch it for him. Also, since he's a top tier noble it seemed fitting that he would own it, but I guess not. It was just confusing because the father brought Anton there right after the party and was like this is going to be a part if your life now showing up at this salon. Plus, when they gave him arwin they were hesitant and asking his dad if was alright like he was the boss. Idk, he just seemed like the owner type.
And I'm not so sure about that legal thing for arwin, I mean Anton is around the same age as him and he just became of age which is probs 18. Arwin has been doing this for a long while by now so he most definitely wasn't legal if it's a time period where the MC's age is just now being considered as an adult. If anything he was probs 12-13 when he was with his dad. So from this we can conclude that most children are probs being sold around that age and maybe even younger depending on some people's taste. It's still creepy. Plus his dad is a weirdo because he apparently really wanted arwin for some odd reason, probs revealed later on. I mean it's better him than some other weirdo but it's still wrong. So yea like you said, he most definitely is taking advantage of this place and getting what he wants. Idk, he was daddy AF and now he's daddy gtfo. (￣ε(#￣)Σ
They weren't really making excuses, they said multiple times that they thought he didn't get a pass. They were only making objective statements from the evidence gathered in the manwha. I was wrong about several key things that they clarified weren't true like the fact he doesn't run the salon or that Anton is going to be inheriting it. And the biggest one, whether or not he had a child prostitution ring going, which he doesn't since he's not the owner nor that manager chick. He just abuses what's available. So yes 'a douche' and a pedophile, but not a pimp running pedophile prostitute psychopath that I thought he was. Then because we aren't quite sure what arwins age was when he was with the dad, they were theorizing that maybe he could have been legal, at least for that time period. At least we hope he was older.The only thing in support of him was that he was hot...Also, I'm not attacking you but I don't think you should say that they're making excuses for him when really they were trying to clear up so inconsistencies.

It's definitely not kouki, tired guy, and there are 3 masked men. Perfume guy, nagae, and talk to you guy, taniguchi are definitely 2 of them, however I don't know the third but it seems to be the homeroom teacher. I Also believe that "nagato hiroki" is probably a combo of their names, like their characters make their name so like nagae and taniguchi make nagato and hiroki might be a combo of the third guys name with theirs. Idk just a guess. But the translators might have a better idea of it if they noticed anything weird with their names and the original sender of the text within the raw version. Side note, I honestly think taniguchi sent the text first because he always addresses him as "teru-kun" and I haven't seen anyone else reference his name this way at all except for him. Right now speculation Lol hopefully the extra will be translated ╥﹏╥
I thought it was Logan the whole time and not anyone else because in the beginning he had that liquid that corrupts cores right? That's why they're keeping him close because they suspect him. I mean I do believe he lost the vial at some point. I'd have to go back and check but I honestly thought it was obviously him but with someone also working in the shadows that he has no clue about. Idk but I don't think it's Ryan. He may be caught in something with the master of the house however I don't think he'd betray luacon at all. Also, I don't think it's Cecilia for similar reasons mentioned before.
Just found this manga and I love it. We really need more smutty manga that's drawn well with an engaging plot. The guy is so hot as well as the girl.
It's a little heartbreaking because it was like their old past got erased. I wanted him to wake up, and finally tell maki how he felt. Going through their experience dealing with maki's marriage and how they would get together and stop his marriage. Or waking up a year or two later to maki being divorced and coping with this change. This resolution seemed like a need to get them together quickly, already having their lover status established and neo gaining his memories rapidly.
At least he got the memories though. However, now the previous past they had together is gone even though it's the whole reason for why they're together now. It's heartbreaking since neo from the past won't experience consciously the current relationship and neo from now will only know of their past through memory. I feel miffed, real freaking miffed since there are plot holes. GAPING holes. 〇
(￣へ￣)
Forget about the original past. It will only hurt. (That's what I did)
(ಡ᎔ಡ) bu...buut..
OMG same!! I wanted him to tell Maki how he felt, and how he would stop the wedding? Idk but it makes the story more interesting and sad, making us feel sorry for some characters, then when they get a happy ending, we'd be satisfied that Neo's old self also got to experience love, happiness etc.. He experiences it now but it wasn't really him, himself that made him experience that happiness? I wanted the struggle basically of him telling directly to Maki his feelings, instead of them already dating and living together. I just want Neo's old self to experience the same happiness from his own hard work? It feels like the struggle that Neo's past self has doesn't exist...
Those moments when the panel is on Yuri and it's like the whole world slows down to reveal another side of Yuri. He's so precious like I can't. It's like a little treasure that ya keep to yourself.
Christ is a Pedo, so he screwed Luca and his dad found out. It was probably a combo of being gay and screwing a kid that sent his dad over which led to Luca killing his dad. Luca is messed up, either from the trauma created from Christ and/or maybe family issues we don't know about but prison didn't help. It twisted his personality to where he's obsessed and only knows christ, too bad it's not the other Christ....he need Jesus OK. Pretty much Christ is trying to forget the whole thing which is why he's pushing Luca away. I believe Luca is just a bit older than Jimmie but not by much and may even be the same age, however Luca has been 'tainted' Yet Jimmie is like an innocent ideal that Christ wishes Luca would be, like he once was. Jimmie ain't no child but he's young enough to rely and need Christ for support so Christ is probably using this to atone for Luca and because of his gratitude towards the family that helped him. His desire for jimmie probably helps in his readiness to dump luca to protect jimmie. It's quite sad actually how Jimmie is caught in the crossfire, shows how your actions on one individual can affect multiple people because now the list grows on whose going to get involved. Started with his dad, Luca, Jimmie, the family he stayed with, the prisoners with Luca, the police, Jimmie's friends, the person in the hit and run, it goes on and on. It comes down to the fact that Christ screwed a kid and he won't take responsibility for him nor anything to do with him. He let him out to dry and how Luca ended up in jail is probably the same way Christ talked him about taking the fall for Jimmie. my theory is that Christ asked luka to blame his dad for sex or maybe not even mention it and to stay quiet about what they were doing. Like omitting the act they did and just stick to his dad was abusing him and luka killed him for it. Idk how they would put a elementary school kid in jail or maybe he went to juvie then prison idk but it's a little vague how his sentencing came about and Christ got off scott free. Most likely luka took the fall for Christ and blamed the assault on the father or left it out. Either way they screwed up and irrevocably damaged their lives leading to the tragic end. It was only a matter of time but how it went down involved too many innocents. Messed up but good read overall.
