He said his mother was broken already in the last chapter. So it makes sense that in her mind that killing them both will keep them safe. It's an old idea, "I'll keep you safe even if I have to kill you to do it." was a quote I heard from some parents when I was little to their children. I didn't get it and thought it was a threat as a child. But Something breaks in a parent's mind were to keep their child from harm killing is their child is better. And normally the method is have the child sleeping and do something like smothering (which you die from smoke inhalation first during a fire in most cases so that might be smothering too.) Or drowning the sleeping child. I am not saying it's alright. Just trying to explain the twisted logic. It is the same logic that goes into suicide. When all seems hopeless, death seems to be the only way to ease the pain. And since I have attempted several times, and still not sure how I am alive. I know that feeling all too well. We do not have to worry though since we seen him as an adult.

So our main character dealt with a pedo when he was younger. The effects of that are a cross between disgusted and fear, but gets excited when touched. What a strange effect. Maybe, since he said it was a day (since that day) he was awaken to either a fetish of his, a sensitivity of his, or his yaoiness was awaken. It is clear that due to the past trauma he is conflicted and confused at his reactions and interactions.

Rape has different consequences... I know people who were rapedand because of that they search pleasure in sex, while other people, like me, has problems with penetration years after the rape...
Also, younger is the victim, more guilty they feel... many times because they felt not only fear but pleasure and they xannot understand all these sensations...
I once read about a woman who was raped when she was 10 and even though she was scared and felt disgusting, she admited ahe also felt pleasure and even an orgasm, that is because her rapist didn't use force and touched her to give her pleasure (something rare... many rapist only put it inside by force) and even today she feel guilty that she felt pleasure when she was raped...
So maybe that is the case of this boy...

Exactly, the guilt of feel pleasure despite being raped is a trauma hard to overcome
although is ilogical since is a automatic response of our bodies and besides is added that after that is harder to separate the pleasure and the disgust in your sexual life. I wish you the best from now on. hugs

There are (at least) 2 types of "rapes" or "reaper" (is that right?).
The forcefull and the non-forcefull ones.
The first mostly happens to adults or mature perople, the second one to children.
They are usually sweet and don't use force. Are kind and whatever.
They give the children the feeling to be "loved". Like this, they won't be scared or think of "that" act as something terrible. They feel "loved".
When they grow up, they understand what it really was, but since there was no "force", they are not shoked in the same way as those who were raped in a brutal way. Often it can become a fetish, like if when a child was abused in a "kind" way by an old fart, once the child grows up, he will feel more sexually attraction towards old farts. They can also think of those time to masturbate. Worst case they become something like pedos too. Though they won't like to rape children, they just think of the children of himself. They imagine they are the child that is being "raped".
Harada-senseis work "Onii-chan", is based on this "outcome". I hope I explained it well.
P.S.: Even if you were "raped" as a child, you don't nechessary hate sex or people with the same sex as the reaper. Since there was "nothing forcefull", they can grow up without having a trauma from it.

First: rape in children can be forcefull and don't use "" in the word rape when talking about children... in reality many children suffer aggressive rapes, many are menaced, some have died because how violent it was... I was raped as a child, in my case was a not violent rape because I didn't even know what was he doing... but the act was so scaring that my mind deleted almost all the rape and even today I don't feel pleasure when I have a penetration... maybe he used violence but I don't remember... and almost all the stories I know about rape in children, the mayority were violent!!!
NO!!! THEY MENACE THE CHILDREN IN ORDER THEY DON'T SAY ANYTHING, THEY USE FORCE AND VIOLENCE... the ones that make the child believe they are loved are a few, many use a type of violence, it can be physical or mental...
And I still want you explain why you used "" in the word rape when it is the case of children!!! Rape is rape...
Note: I was raped several times as a kid, even though I was penetrated only once when I was 7 years old... I grow up believing that it was normal being touched... I was even raped by a woman!!!

I feel like the person was using "" as quoting instead of sarcasm or irony. Of course I'm just making assumptions since they also put "" around "onii chan" and "outcome." So no need for your exclamation marks, I'm guessing.
I made the same mistake when I would go using "" around the wrong words (grammar's hard) in the past. But hey ya never know.

First just calm down a bit.
I never said that all the the children rapist ( I wrot reaper but meant rapist earlier) are not aggressive. I said that this "type" of rapist mostly happen to children, since they don't understand, and like you said, they think that it is "normal" what the rapist is doing.
Of course there are also way too many rapist who menace children, and are forcefull.
So don't twist my words, please.
Of course is rape always rape.
The comment above mine explained already one reasons as why I used quotes.
For the others, you can search online. I can not explain it right now.
I may have used it once or twice at the wrong place, but I can assure you that it was not on purpose, irony or whatever.
It was already tired as I wrote that comment, so mistake can happens.

I like how it ends for our romantic couple, though I feel bad for kirono (sp?) His mother collapsed and so he decided to deny himself to make his mother happy. While present as a happy ending. I can see that it will not end well. Some day it will either be too much for him and he will snap and run off. Or when his mother dies he will leave his wife and become himself. Or something else. Suppressing isn't good normally

so males can get pregnant in this world. Nice to know.

omg I know it's a different genre lol It was just an example or more like a comment that I've read a lot of yaois (then let's not go into genres) with rape in them and it was a nice change. And btw my first comment was actually "sarcastic" since I found HoshiSecret's first comment funny/cute and used the same tone but nevermind me :D
Pls keep my head on my neck :D

I am kinda amused that he is freaking out over stepping on the turtle while not realizing it has a bunch of... hair? coming out of it's bottom like a tail of a furry creature. I love this manga. Part of me wonders if Midori and hintata will have a kid together. Don't say it's not possible, with gods anything is possible.

*tosses out old information on the one guy* So he's not an introvert extrovert.... He is a misunderstander. Which is understandable. Humans are confusing and complex creatures that are rarely logical. So yeah, he isn't shy because he wants to be, but rather due to the fact he keeps being told he sucks at communicating he spends more time thinking about how to express himself.
I totally get that. I also will take a while to respond.

I love the chemistry and the sweetness. Seems a little quick, but they were picking up where they left off before mama came and pretty much bashed him for not having a woman.
One part of me was thinking "Um, how much time do they have? Is he going to transform while they are having sex? How awkward would that be? Would it matter to them?" etc I think bexan would like winter the most for the reason to be human more which means he can be with the one he loves as a man.
The hints to the past with bexan are both confusing and curious. I was wondering if the young man he was looking at back then is our uke now.

THis is good. both our yaoi boys got burned in the past. But I also like the fact that it showed that sometimes the friends we make may not agree with us and fight with us, but somehow we end up back together. Forgive or not, sometimes we just have those friends who we just are friends with no matter what, and we know not why. I also like the fact that it shows that a friend is more willing to accept a friend's differences than a random classmate. I like how this shows difficulties in growing up. How people will confuse who you like with another.
And on the shipping note. I don't know who to root for. I am leaning more towards glasses since It seems that just being with out main character is having him open his heart again, which is truly painful. However I know from personal experience that friends can do that too. The only reason I ship our main with his crush is because of the soda thing.
And I just have to say this, that guy our glasses had for his first love sucked! We know not the truth about him, but we knew he treated our glasses horrible.
hehehe, this just makes me think of the fact that more often than not, we don't think that a person whom we have the hots for can be shy or embarrassed. That so often we are caught up in what we think and feel we don't stop for a moment to question how another thinks and feels. Cause if our redhead thinks about it our main character didn't act coldly towards him when they met up and even helped him out. He is always red which means he is shy or embarrassed. that or having a some kind of medical condition in which he would be down in out in 10 minutes and have to go to the hospital.
