"i never get into your way even when you dated." When Arthur and renji broke up, Arthur went out with different people And he knew renji still has feelings for him so instead of making up for his mistake, he pushed renji towards another guy. But Renji knows. he's not an idiot. he's hurting when they were together. he's hurting even when they already broke up.

Also, don't act as if the past didn't happen. When renji said "I love you" He totally had his dead lover in mind. He may have realized his feelings for renji but when? after he hard hurt him a dozen times over. He even had the gall to feel smothered after going out with renji just for his own sake. He did not even tried to tell the truth to renji but instead flirted with renji in that half-assed way. If he is really serious, he should have done more. But he did not. His resolution is only up till there. Little Nemu (hidoku shinaide) is even more courageous than him! ref: vol.2.
So still feeling sympathetic to the douche who is too cowardly to make up for his mistakes just because he does not want to be hurt himself? It's up to you. But he definitely does NOT DESERVE renji's love. Renji is finally happy I don't get why some people still ship him with that asshole. No matter how handsome and seme-ish the guy is, I'd rather him be with the sensitive, self-sacrificial Kenta. They are cute together anyway.

hahah. that is also my intent. it's a nice shorty with good enough drama and there's not enough non-stereotypical couples in BL world and I put hope on people learning to appreciate them more than the uke getting paired with the the handsome, tempting yet a douche seme. I strongly feel for kenta because it's unfair to him to be discarded by readers when he's the most deserving person here.

And to think the time i marked this as read in mangago, it's still severely underrated. So happy because this manga deserves it. Thankfully, people pay attention to the latest, hottest updated manga section. (▰˘◡˘▰)

I'll admit I wasn't too sure about this story at first, but I am so very glad I stuck with it.
This mangaka's work also gets some lower ratings because it's not technically yaoi; it's really just shounen ai.
I'm not saying that's a bad thing; I personally love her stories and her artwork. Problem is people who read yaoi expecting explicit sexual content and this author just doesn't do that, at least not in any stories so far.

yeah, and i think part of it is people got initially turned off the cover? and so they pass over reading this. that's why i'll never get tired of telling people to just read on and not just judge (or smth) a manga based on it's rating.
and i don't understand why peg down a star because they expected smut? kinda unfair for the manga that has a really good story you can actually sympathize with. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Good points, although tags are important.
Looking at things in reverse, I think a lot of shounen ai fans might enjoy this, but will probably pass it over because the tag specifically says yaoi.
I think it all comes down to what readers love and hate.
For me a good story is most important, but I won't read anything with a shota or loli tag no matter how highly rated.
If you haven't read this author's other manga, buy a copy of you need to because it's really good. It's also not as dark as this one; it's actually really funny.

I never paid attention before but I noticed the gay bar the uke(from first story) frequents is the okama bar from third story (≧∀≦)

Delinquent guy's just an awkward cinnamon-roll. I think we've read too much rapey mangas to expect the worse from him LOL but I'm glad I stuck by with my faith in him. I wonder what kind of antics he'd do next that will cause another misunderstanding. But really, googling a love advice haha.
