I didn't get to see it when the pages were out of order, but I just read it and it seems fine. I hope you guys don't let a technical error scare you off because Cache-Cache's Free! stuff is magnificent!
I love this author. I really do. I just wish I felt more love between them at the end.
The young seme was terrible. He hurt and scarred the uke in ways that followed him for years. Seeing him tremble in fear as an adult when the seme touched him broke my heart. In the end, he really seemed like he wanted to take it slow and cherish the uke (while making it clear that he still had problems with control, urging the uke not to push him to the point where he felt he couldn't stop (side note: That's never a valid reason to continue after someone says no)), but I just felt like the love wasn't really planted properly.
I can go along with forgiving someone that hurt you in the past as long as they acknowledge the wrong, show that they've changed and you feel ready to forgive them, but I didn't get that feeling from this manga. Maybe it was just time constraints, but I wish they had explored the uke's need to actually forgive the seme more and start a relationship based on loving the person the seme became, instead of vaguely trying to remember why you loved him back when he was a rapist.
The art is always 10/10 with this author, though.
I loved it, but seriously, they need to consider their surroundings when they have deeply personal conversations. It made my toes curl in shyness a few times! Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
OMG! Same!
Same I almost threw my phone
I really need some extras of this couple. The art was gorgeous and the story was so sweet. Now I just need more 'badump' moments and I'll be set!
I need more stars! Give me more stars so I can give this work of art a better score!
I'll give this a grudging five stars and feel some empathy for Kan-chan. Just a little. Maybe. He's still on my list for hurting Yumi. AGHHH. Sensei, why do you make me see things from both sides like this??
maybe it's because it's better to know both sides before we judge someone all people have their reasons
True--but it's tough when you feel pity for someone, but still can't forgive the awful thing they did. >< My yaois are usually more black and white (damn sensei and her wonderful writing!)
I totally get where you're coming from! A decent guy ruined, ruining another beautiful person... Who thankfully got out and saved! And ken Chan found his own too *sigh*
Very true. I haven't read Kan-chan's story yet, but I think this got me really primed for it. I want to see Kan-chan get better and be happy. But I hope sensei doesn't slam us again with a story about the terrible boss man that makes me feel pity of him.
Hope you enjoy his story! It's hard to read these sometimes, but I feel like it's worth it in the end, for at least the closure of it!
He already said that he's strssed from work so I wasnt surprised. I didnt judge him as an unreasonable abuser, just an abuser. Soo the only thing that touched/surprised me in this backstory is the happiness and the end of it :(
But reality isn’t just b&w. And that’s exactly the reason why this mangaka produces such amazingly authentic stories. The characters are straight out of life. They’re "real". Such people don’t just crawl out of the abyss. They’re made by other people. Everyone has their own story …
HNNNNG! I am so proud of the Mangaka for getting over 1 million sales, but I hate how long it'll take for the English hard copies to come out D:
I'll definitely have all of them on my bookshelf, though. This story rocks!
True. And I would love to buy the series, but then if I died and someone had to go through my things they would find out what I read...choices, choices.
thats why theres something called the internet now so no one can go through your business
My bookshelf stays locked and private. I am very possessive over my hard copy literature. My books are my babies <3
From a fantasy standpoint, these were all enthralling and complicated. I loved them.
From a realistic standpoint: OH MY GOD NooooOOoooOOooooOOOoooOOo,
