And here I thought we were going to get a dark slice of life BL that explores the nuances of a relationship’s deterioration, and maybe even get
some intelligent character development as they navigate their confusing emotions and heartbreak. A realistic, mature theme. But NOPE, that would be expecting too much. This is the yaoi world, after all. Gotta give one partner convenient amnesia so they can regress and escape accountability for anything they did or said before the memory loss. How boring. Even worse if it turns out he’s faking it all. ANOTHER irritating trope.

It’s infuriating how realistically the author portrays the seme’s manipulative behavior. The way Kang spins everything to make it look like the other person’s overreacting, or how he picks out certain irrelevant things in people’s replies so they get confused and lose focus during an argument. Even the way he constantly tricks the other guy into thinking something was his idea, when he was actually the one who brought it up first- Gaaaah! It makes my skin crawl. Bro’s got a lot of problems. Good luck little reporter
What in the Junji Ito is going on here??!
