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.

    You summarized my exact thoughts on this story so well.

cocobunny May 22, 2024 3:32 pm

Wow i love this so far! I’m hooked!! I keep
screaming for MC to keep his stupid mouth shut and not to irritate the brothers! But I like where the plot is going huehue! I’m usually not a fan of these pointless torture yaoi plots, but this one has me hooked! ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

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

    They say the MC is not a minor but idk who to believe even though I have seen a manhwa of a MC who looks like a minor but is actually not

    cocobunny July 12, 2024 3:56 am

    Its so tricky when they draw them looking like a child ╥﹏╥

cocobunny May 22, 2024 2:58 am

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

    Ritsu October 5, 2024 8:34 pm

    if it sucks it sucks bruh were all veterans here i swear you're not that special

    RARE°INSIGHTS•やおい◼ December 26, 2024 11:58 am

    Actually it's not worst people just doesn't like it seme is straight playboy who got with uke by blackmailing him out of curiosity but rating is really dropping lol I kinda like it myself

    lococo February 5, 2025 3:35 pm

    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?

cocobunny May 19, 2024 6:47 pm

WHAT. A. FUCKING. RIDE!!!!
Pleaaase sir can i ride again and again??? GOD this was such a great read!! Exhilarating, thriller, horror, psychological, YES!!! (Cue meme: *That Was Crazy I never actually experienced that sort of atmosphere again before its absolutely electric!*)

What an insane story! I loved every minute of it!! Wish there were more chapters! Please if anyone has any similar recommendations to stories like this!!! Yes I already read Color Recipe and Killing Stalking hehe Killing Stalking is mt #1 FAV

cocobunny May 19, 2024 7:25 am

DAYUM I hate that this was only 2 ch!!!! Ugh this is exactly my cup of tea~ I love abusive sadistic semes and sad ukes who are in love with the bastard! This story has so much potential!! Would love to see a continuing plot where the Seme realizes these urges and feelings he has when he sees uke cry is simply him having the sadistic tendencies! And that he is bisexual (since he said a hole is a hole?? lmfao). And then we can see him slowly start to soften towards uke as he forces him to spend more time with him!! Thereby eventually he realizes he has some affections and feelings for the uke, and thats a huge character development that would need to pan out various chapters imo since this dude is so homophobic and an ass lmao. Meanwhile uke would hate it all and be so afraid! But the moments where seme shows a little tenderness would draw back uke in a little. Yes, yes! This could have been a great rollercoaster dark story! Auughh if only there werent just 2 ch!!

    You're welcome! I'm really glad to hear that. I really enjoy complex writing too, so I always seek them out.

    Btw, I think these have a really complex, dark, and psychological theme. They don't always have similar plot or similar s/m elements, but they're top-tier for me in this category. https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangalist/2034844/

Omg their sassiness towards each other and their dynamic is giving Anastasia and Dimitri hehehe

Anyways I hope this is eventually updated!! Also, how many volumes are there? They been doing it raw sloppy this entire time so im expecting a pregnancy! ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Ok I liked that ngl it was funny and cute and had its saucy moments, but I feel like the author could have done more with this couple! Maybe we can see from Enoda’s POV on how cute he thinks MC is after the first love potion, or maybe even some extra chapters that show why he was so keen on bullying MC, maybe he liked him a little subconsciously and was acting out? I would have liked to see more with this couple!!
The fudanshi friend was funny but imo his character really needed to be toned out a lot.
Also the suppository scene was so unnecessary because I feel it added nothing to the plot or characters! They were about to confess and were on their way to fuck on their own, why was a mini suppository love spell necessary? xD All they needed was lube~
Anyways thats my review and its a shame author did not continue with this story because theres so much we could explore with these two! Its an interesting story with a lot of potential! ^^
