i want that

i know we've got plenty of incest discourse over at love or hate, but. assuming our mcs here are unrelated by blood, as hinted at in the monologue, i'm just wondering. do you people also think it's weird when childhood friends grow up together closely like siblings, but in two separate families, and then fall in love? do you only draw the line when it's two people who were brought up together like siblings under the same roof, whose family status is defined solely by the fact that their parents are fucking? i don't get it. like what is it about incest between two people who met years after they were born, who are brothers only on paper and not by dna, that makes you think it's wrong and unethical? like. i'm not talking about personal preferences here. if you just don't like incest in whatever form it comes then that's fine, you do you. but morally? ethically? somebody explain

tbh this isn't dark or anything, it's just watered-down yandere shit with an unrealistic happy ending. the biggest problem with yaois that utilize possessive characters/relationships and darker themes is that they don't do it right. more often than not they end in sunshine and rainbows and that's just bullshit and wrong and boring. you'd think a guy who was chained, stripped naked, locked up, and assaulted by a person he trusted would get away with some trauma or go a little psycho himself. instead he's made to realize that he loves the perpetrator -- and the fact that the perpetrator is an actual psycho and that their relationship is based on romanticized possessiveness, assault, and manipulation is barely or not at all acknowledged afterwards. like, if you wanna write and draw fucked up shit then GO ALL THE WAY. give me the emotionally traumatized victim at the end of it all. show me how fucked up their relationship is after all of the shit that's been done. i don't want all that fake "and they lived happily til the end of their days" bullshit. it's not cute. it's not enjoyable.

when it looked like the top was gonna "eat" (rape) the bottom in chapter 1 i was pleasantly surprised that he stopped on his own account and didn't. the way i thought it would go well from there............ it just went downhill instead

i re-read this last night... it's one of those mangas i come back to every once in a while because it's just so wholesome. rui is such a big babie... like, literally. and yuujirou was so gentle with him :(

that old man with nanasaki's hand on his dick: well? thoughts?
me: and prayers

thank you for all the additional info from the book btw

this top could have been IT if he hadn't done all that shit in between. beefy. handsome. attentive. the first kiss was tolerable because his intentions were vague but everything after that... disappointing

kinda hate how the artist omitted the probably most important part of ukishima's and makabe's first meeting -> clear consent. i've read so much shitty yaoi that my head filled in the blanks between "you don't want it? go ahead and resist" and them being shown right in the middle of fucking with some quite ugly scenarios.
i think the submission, deliberate vulnerability, and maybe unspoken consent(?) is supposed to be implied through ukishima's behavior prior to them fucking (his obvious arousal, his passiveness, plus the fact that he's a little messed up and went out to "get wrecked"), but implicit consent doesn't always cut it... a simple panel of ukishima opening his pants by himself or letting go of makabe's hand to give him a go ahead would have been enough :/ iffy

that bitch is on the cover... looks like we'll lose another poor soul to their rapist

may this story prosper without sexual assault or rape
