I loved it during the first read and I still quite like it after re-reading but now I realized that Ryuunosuke tends to one-sidedly blame Kouta for things. Like the first incident in the club, Ryuu basically got mad at Kouta although they weren't even officially together atp and Ryuu was always like 'lend me your dick' so Idk what exactly did he expect. If not for Kouta's initiative to clear things up they wouldn't even get together. Then this situation in the hotel, and I'm afraid such a patter will keep repeating even after they bond. Obviously, it's not like I don't get why Ryuu felt insecure, but he wasn't the only one suffering. From the beginning it was Kouta who did more to get this relationship going, Imo.
Ngl, the way this whole brother issue was handled made me quite mad. It's already bad enough that he got forgiven so easily but what makes it even worse is the fact that there was no real repentance on his part, he was an asshole until the end, only gave a half-assed apology in the message and even before that Miyabi was the one feeling guilty towards him. Maybe it is 'realistic' considering Miyabi's deep-rooted inferiority complex as an omega but I would prefer to see him growing more as a person instead of beating himself up in front of his asshole brother. Not only that, Haruto who's Miyabi's mate doesn't even realize that the brother isn't just a regular asshole but an attempted rapist and remains oblivious while they're in contact again. If he knew he would definitely be against them interacting. It's understandable that Miyabi doesn't want to reveal something so traumatizing about his past but it leaves a bit of a bitter taste after an overall very good story.
Agreeeed. It only pissed me off so much
I was piss off too, but base on my experience siblings do tend to have ass apologies and repentance quite common, like my aunts and Mom, even my Dad to his half siblings.
It's because of the environment, my Mom grow up in a abusive household through verbally and physically downgrade them siblings by which is her Father who was very alcoholic, my Mom's view of what normal in the family was quite shocking, especially for my Dad side of the family too, he experience abuse too but in a form of neglect and abandonment, but can't you believe is both my parents grow up in that negative way but me and my brother received so much love even if they do not say it verbally but through action we can feel love and care.
Wow monologue so long haha, but anyways, yeah that's just how it works, they may not repent especially the stubborness of a close minded parents who only view their correctness and not the flaws of their doing which I so much hate that they aren't even apologetic but instead blame their victims that they where the ones wrong and not them (which is super bullshit and so much gaslight) but even so we need to move forward and be free of this invisible shackles that was built by our own selves.
additionally, I know this is long and my grammar is not quite right, all I'm gonna say is THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR RAPE, we better see that brother be plowed in the ass hopefully in his version (of there is gonna be)
What you’re saying is true and in an ideal world the brother would face more punishment and harsher consequences but i find this kind of response and lackluster apology is very on brand, especially for asian households as i personally have experienced stuff like this. My mother’s siblings have treated her worse than a worm before and they now speak and converse as if nothing happened when I personally have witnessed what they do to my mother. Its unfortunate that it’s a realistic response. Some ppl just sweep shi under the rug and communication is very much nonexistent.
Super, therapist is even out of the question to overcome trauma, as long as you live and don't go crazy you won't need hospital.
