No the fuck did I do deciding to read this when i was clearly WARNED that its been dropped??? I HATE MYSELF SM RN!!!
This was SUCH a good crazy story and it just got DROPPED at the absolute worst cliffhanger!!! Oh my fUCKING GOD?????????? AND ITS BEEN 4 YEARS NOW??? MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK
IM SO ANGRY RN!!!!!!

Ahh. Here I come back to this insane story. I read it first a couple years ago and have not stopped thinking about it. No other manga compares. The psychological aspect, the tension, the dread of being trapped in a situation you hate, the MC’s mental break. It was all written and drawn so well. I really appreciate the mangaka for making such a story. I know the point is not to romanticize such abuse, but i felt the ending was akin to a Shakespearean tragedy. MC has stockholm syndrome and Hikaru remains obsessed with him. In the end they remain together in their own suffering. Relenting to each other, because at this point the only people who understand their inner darkness and pain is each other. Almost perfect.

Omg that was insane, I loved it!! Wished it wasnt so inconsistent and plot hole-y towards the end there, but I understand since its now been discontinued. I think the story would have also benefited if the little brother had a little bit more confidence in himself and defiance against being beat all the time lol.
BUT im nitpicking at that point! Overall i really REALLY REALLY enjoyed this story!! It’s unique and dark, it hooks you and takes you along for a ride! I absolutely loved how this artist drew their wounds and blood~ (˶‾ ⁻ ‾˵)و✧ I’m a sucker for semes and ukes with bruises and cuts hehe~ This artist’s artistic style is very expressive, the way she drew the eyes when the older brother was upset is 10/10 amazing talent! ヾ(☆▽☆) I love stories like this with taboo subjects and dark, gritty, angsty themes. What an interesting dark world the artist allowed us to read <3 I’m sad that the author discontinued this story, but I hope one day she can make another incredible story such as this!

WAAAAAIT JUST A SECONDDD LMFAOOOOO… I remember this from waaayyy back then…. I didnt realize the MC was a literal child?? I remember dropping it after the first few panels bc the MC was too childish, dumb, and petite and i wasnt feeling like reading one of those mangas at the time.. I come back today in the year of our lord 2024 and reading the context clues and translations, have understood the MC to be like an actual kid??? Like deadass??? Stawp the cameras
I understand there’s different BLs for everyone, but me personally i draw the line at child x adult ༼ ༎ ෴ ༎༽ Banri is literally like 11-14yrs and Munetaka is deadass a university student so 18-22 HELP

Lmao why are the comments full of hate? This yalls first toxic BL? As a veteran this plot was pretty predictable, I’ve seen this exact dynamic many times in old BLs from like the 00’s. Relax yall. I understand its not your cup of tea but no need to bash it

hell no people are throwing around the veteran card in here too? anyway, yeah there are way too many stories with these plots, I adore them but this was pure trash what are you even defending this for? honestly another 1 or 2 chapters more before the seme asked him out would have saved this, a bit of self reflection but alas would your veteran brain understand that?
FI-NALL-YYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! ITS HEONJAE’S TURN WITH THE BOTTOM NOW YESSSSSS!!!!! JUSTICE !!!!!
