Story has bullying, a lot of it. And characters just breeze over it and call it pranks. Malicious pranks are just pranks, afterall........no they're not. The characters must be saints for not trying a hand at revenge.

    I don't know about that... What the characters say and how they act are two very different things in this case.

    First off, and I cannot say this enough: The 'pranks' were malicious, DANGEROUS, and cruel. They were bullying at its worst. Two people ended up seriously injured because of it. I absolutely do not condone this, and think those characters shown participating in it don't deserve the kindness shown later.

    However, <in the context of the story> it's a very interesting crucible to put the characters through. How the main characters deal with it is very life-like.

    The uke calls a spade a spade several times, and is fully prepared to defend his boyfriend, which he does on numerous occasions, not just that attempt at the end. He also offers to not hang out with the seme to protect him, even though he himself feels quite vulnerable alone, clearly putting his friend (at that time they weren't more) first.

    The seme, on the other hand, *does* trivialize it. He does this for two reasons. One, he doesn't want to worry the uke, nor does he want to quit hanging out with him. He considers the uke more important than his own safety. Also, it shows that he is a fairly well grounded individual, especially since he doesn't let them get to him on any level where he wasn't already shaky (ie his acting, which he himself acknowledges sucks). He sees them as an unfortunate downside to something awesome, and considers the uke more than worth the inconvenience. The second reason feeds off the first: He trivializes it to try and make it less painful. This is a very human reaction, and oftentimes feels like the only choice the bullied person has. He's trying to take away the hurt by ignoring it. He's not successful, almost no one ever is at this, but that's what he's trying. Watch out your window while schoolkids are going home and I can almost guarantee you'll see something like this. It's sad, but it's a very common and very realistic reaction.

    The captain, on the other hand, *grows* through the bullying, from the point of being a bully to protecting the seme. And for all he says that it's so the uke won't cry, his facial expressions say otherwise. Though he was fully complicit in making the seme play Nurse, his time trapped with the uke taught him a few things. Namely, it taught him what the seme has that he doesn't: Decency, self-respect, respect for others, compassion, and a sense of fairness. It's those traits, the seme's own innate decency, that drew the uke to the seme. And regardless of what he told himself, the captain's unease before the rescue proves that he does want to be better than he was, and that he's looking at the seme as a role model in that.

    As for revenge? The uke bides his time on the seme's wish, same as the seme did for not reporting the sexual assault. And for the same reason: It wasn't his to tell. And, in both cases, they probably should have anyway. But it's hard, to betray the trust of someone you care for. Neither gives up on trying to convince the other, but they respect the wishes of the victim first, which is important in not re-victimizing people. The seme, on the other hand, just isn't the sort of person to *want* revenge, and his behaviour the whole way through lines up behind that. Because it's him, he can forgive. Some people are like that. He had a harder time forgiving the rape of the uke, you may have noticed. But he, again, stands by on the wishes of the victim. The captain is changed, so we don't get to see his later reaction. Considering how he himself was, though, I don't imagine he would have much of a leg to stand on for going after anyone.

    tl;dr: You seem to think the story didn't give weight to the bullying, but I think it did. That the characters didn't respond in your preferred manner is simply because of the character traits sensei chose to give them.

    Right! I want to do that in real life, they would need to be institutionalized! Pyschos!

    Well about bullying, it really depends on the mind of the individuals, Iwaki has real friends who care about him so he probably won't care about the mobs, the same goes to Alice (LMAO

Another sadist seme on the rampage, and another uke who is struggling to stand up for himself. I've already given up on expressing how annoyed I am with these tropes. If the other party is being an asshole and has done some pretty nasty things in the past, the smoothest and most dignified way to give them the proverbial middle finger is to stand up and walk out. No need to feed the trolls, to put it lightly.

My only hope is that these sort of semes get a big taste of karma for hurting people like that. (╬ ̄皿 ̄)凸

Kou has a bad issue of sleeping with people even though he has a lover, lets just get that out of the way. But more importantly, the issue of Ao or Mikuni.

In this, Ao definitely deserves Kou namely because he has shown his love for him for 9 years, in spite of repeated cheating occuring. Furthermore, he was not doing it to spite Mikumi, but rather he loved Kou as well. How often do we come across someone who forgives their lover everytime they have been cheated on? If anything, its been extremely rare. And in this case, Ao has not been angry enough to break up because he truly loves Kou and would forgive him. At the same time, he has guilt over his last actions regarding keeping Mikumi out of the loop. However, he was prepared to give up on Kou if Kou ever wanted to go back Mikumi. He is a man of morals who suffers just as bad for his actions as Kou.

Do him now. Do him now. He's practically begging you for it. Deliciously cute boy, ripe for ravishing.......

The seme-turned-uke was sort of repulsive. Not the idea in general, but rather the character's personality was enough to bang my head and scream, "Just tell him already!!!!!"

And then this asshole comes along a blackmails the seme-turned-uke into giving oral sex, and then rape, and above all, humiliation. I'm sure that there are people who like this, but seriously, this sort of guy I would dump his ass on the curb, and never look back.

    I kinda agree with you, i kind no....I΄m totally confused...(  ̄□ ̄)

Natsuo is getting a super-rich boyfriend, Haru faces down a vain criminal, and Ren faces against a stuck-up, rude, and completely erratic bully/admirer.

Ren, you can overcome this asshole. But don't be afriad to call in the big guns like Haruko, Haru, and the rest of family. I get that you're real big on the manliness part, but sometimes bullies and miscreants need to be shown a bit of raw power.

    what i thought natsuo rejected the doctor just that the doctor was being persistent?

In retrospect, both the mother and the little brother committed a major crime against the uke. Both committed incest, however I think the reason why we focus on the mother is because she acts in a way that amounts to more of a betrayel of family than the little brother. She locked up the older brother, and then proceeded to verbally, mentally, and sexually abuse him, whereas from a legal standpoint, the younger brother only sexually abused him. The younger brother wasn't the one who essentially made the uke a prisoner. At the very least, there was love between the brothers. The mother calling her child a "pest" and using his existance as the reason for her problems was more than enough for me to know that even if the story was told from her perspective, I would still aide with the brothers.

    Lei October 10, 2015 10:11 pm

    To add on after reading other comments, the mother cannot and shouldn't be forgiven for her actions regardless of whatever happened in the past in the family that resulted in its dysfunction. Yes, it seems as if she is alone and conpletely overwhelmed, but nothing is really understandable about treating her children horribly for things that are beyond their control. Less so when she used her children for things that they cannot protect themselves against, especially given that she had beaten one of them down so harshly that he couldn't even physically protect himself against something he even considered a sin.

    i also wondered if the uke's stuttering had anything to do from possible early abuse from his mother. You don't know if she abused him from early causing his stuttering. Very sad and tragic.

    Nicholas038 May 31, 2024 8:37 pm

    The issue is we can't tell if the younger brother sexually abused him just because it's the easy way to think of their having sex.

    Ever considered the idea that the older brother somehow managed to convince the youngest brother to have sex because the oldest one couldn't take anymore of the rape and abuse and wanted to feel some love and decided to convince his brother to do it?

    This Manga have no POV, meaning there's no way to tell who approached the idea of sex first but given the older brother was the one put in the context of not caring about incest more than his younger brother it's just as likely that he wanted to have sex with him because he wanted to do it with someone who actually loved him to forget this pain induced by the mother.
