man i would never see the appeal in someone like the MC he acts like a petulant child all the time.
As someone that studies in the art environment i actually feel the MC a lot... Dealing with the mixed feelings of wanting to be friends with someone and the sense of inferiority is pretty hard ;;
But his inferiority complex isn’t going to go away once he “falls in love”. He clearly has a lot of self esteem issues and truthfully he needs to get over them or he’ll never succeed in life if he’s just going to blame his shortcomings on others. I have little sympathy for people who run away from their problems. As for the romantic aspect that’s a whole other aspect of his personality that I find hard to like as he seems the sort to “fake” a personality to be liked desperately by others, but that’s just a personal hangup that doesn’t matter ultimately as it’s not my opinion that matters in his love life.
Yeah i totally get your point but i don't think it's as easy as you put it, i relate to the mc a lot and self esteem issues and insecurities are not just something that you can get over... They're feelings that keep haunting the person no matter how hard you try to deal with them because there will always be someone better than you. You can try to cope with it but you can't help but feel bad. The mc is actually dealing with his lack of talent by working more and harder than everybody else but sometime that just isn't enough, and when all the frustration piles up there's nothing to do but to run away to avoid being too hurt... That's why i hope there will be a good chara develpment for him because hhhh my heart can't take this (hopefully i explained decently, my english isn't great)
Like this plot is utter trash and so is every character but it’s like a dumpster fire you can’t look away from. It’s incredible.
It just annoys me when they do these “first time” plots they will always maintain sexual positions and with the uke is always a virgin and always doing more sexually. Unfortunately japan considers a boy a virgin still if he hasn’t performed penile penetrative intercourse. Also why are blowjobs so hard to be reciprocated as well?
Yeah same. I also hate how 90% of the time in yaoi, they're either solid top/ bottom or the bottom wants to top and seme will reject it or try to distract him from the thought. Even tho being reverse is more common in real life (I've heard). It's like the creator's trying to portray that tops think it's unmanly to bottom or something (a lot of straight people and gay guys with internalized homophobia feel like that too).
There's a couple of BL I've read where the top was totally ok with it but the bottom decided they liked bottoming more and that's ok, but don't treat your partner like a kid, saying "oh not now, let's change the subject".
And yeah, I hate unreciprocated BJ's! Not everyone likes oral and that's cool but it's like in manga they're allergic to the concept of mutual pleasure. I find Korean manwhas tend to have a lot better sex scene dynamics (those sex scenes also last chapters tho lol).
Wow the author really just made a decade long relationship be resolved and healed over in 3 months. 3 months to forgive and forget the trauma of rape, abuse, and exploitation. 3 months to then invite a rapist over for dinner. 3 months for a rapist to pity himself and promise to overcome his personal undeserved wants and further affliction onto his victim. And lastly 3 months and a single day for a rape victim to then spread his legs once more for his rapist. I have never hated a plot as much I do this entire disgusting pile of steaming garage that has been written. I am so offended and disgusted as both a sexual assault survivor and a person who works in the entertainment industry. That real stories and real experiences are being exploited as reference such a truly romanticized ideal of the trauma I and my peers have face in an industry that sees you only as commodity and not your humanity. I truly leave this garage for all who love and consume this ode to rape apologia.
The plot: hero becomes coherent mid rape from curse caused by his rapist he regularly protects. Why don't you get me pregnant now twink daddy. This shit slaps.

god this is so sweet but i really hate the whole raising him as pseudo family only to end up romantically together. it bothers me so much.
yeeeaaaa Im on the same page, little kids are so impressionable and so easily manipulated so it just seems wrong to me
Also has it been clearly defined if Yamato’s aunt is trans or just the typical Japanese homophobia towards femme gay men? It would be nice if they’re in fact trans. I swear I read something with dialogue referring to them as “brother” at one point in reference to Yamato’s dad.
I think it's a trans. He said it was my dad's brother in a chapter and then my aunt.
I appreciate your reply but please use the character’s proper nouns if you believe they’re trans, especially don’t refer to a person as “it”.
I'm sorry I'm not native and it was just a grammar mistake
oh no it's perfectly fine don't worry about your grammar. I just wanted you to be aware is all.
Thank you. I normally pay a lot of attention to pronouns when dealing with LGBTQ+ characters. But I will try more I think
The thing is everyone is complaining about hozumi’s constant crying and I’m over here annoyed that Yamato yet again is as thick as a rock, in clearly not observing his boyfriend as per usual. If someone is crying that fiercely over a “surprise” it’s clearly not about the surprise and instead of taking a moment to ask him “hey babe” I haven’t seen you in weeks properly let’s just talk and unpack what’s bothering you as I can clearly see something is. Or if Hozumi doesn’t feel comfortable to outright say, maybe suggest rushing into sex to avoid whatever it is isn’t the best idea and just know my physical presence is here waiting to be your shoulder to cry on too. Honestly Yamato is so smart but when it’s important to the plot his lack of common sense is just amazing low. Both with his father and Hozumi, he’s never made to be actual properly a tune to empathy or being emotional savvy.
Sigh of course everyone wants a toxic happy ending. Why am I not surprised.
Would totally avoid a fuckboy like that. Good for you.
