This was a great read though it was telling more than showing at times, which is often a flaw in omegaverse mangas. I thought Claud was a girl but he was honestly my fave. He's just feisty and his reasons were understandable. He'd resort to doing bad things for his goal, which is honestly my favorite kind of characters not in yaoi but in anime, the anti-hero type or smth. It'd better if he was a girl though, I wanna see some strong women on yaoi but oh well.

Honestly this was just pure porn. Like there are a lot of rape plays in porn. It's not like they fell in love so who cares. It's just jack off material, so at least it's better than those with rape tropes then falling in love. I only read the first one since I'm turned off by the old man's face in the 2nd story, reminds me a lot of those corrupt politicians lmao.

Wait is this BL? There's no yaoi or shounen ai tag and in the summary it says a "special friendship". I wanna read it either way.

Technically no it’s not it’s just that they really made a special bond and understood, helped each other. I mean it looks like the author preferred to not make an open claim about how their relationship is, so you can interpret it as a really deep friendship or think that they liked each other, whichever you want but as I said nothing is specified ^ ^ Also yeah it’s really good I’m glad you will read it~

Is the anime of Given good? I mean I'm tempted to watch it, but I don't wanna watch or read something incomplete. I really wanna watch it though.

Girl, i finished it, the ending felt anticlimatic but that ep 9 or mafuyu's performance was gold. I feel happy for Mafuyu, but feel empty and sad for Yuki. The rest of the manga's Akihiko's story right? And Haruki's? Are there more things with Mafuyu and Ritsuka? I wanna read it but it's still incomplete ;,(

Girl same. I'm literally suffering from earworm insomnia right now, though most kpop songs play, mafuyu's is the last thing i want to play. Ik Mafuyu fell for Ritsuka and the whole shizzle, but it's just rushed and unsatisfying and i don't know how to put it into words. Like I'm more sad for the whole yuki thing than happy for Mafuyu and Ritsuka.
I haven't read this yet, but the summary reminded me of those hateable toxic fujoshis who harass people with questions. I literally had a friend like that before, damn she was so embarrassing. Note to ya'll 14 year old kids, (tho you should be 18 but who cares about that) before you start venturing through the world of yaoi, please learn to distinguish reality and fiction first.
Still gonna read this cause people praise it so let's go.
It's worth it! The summary doesn't capture the depth and warmth of this story. Though I definitely get what you're saying.
me and my guy friend are both bl fans LMAO we've been reading bl together since middle school till now.
Oh also my bestfriend is a straight trans girl who likes yaoi. (which makes her a fujo?) honestly don't understand why people keep limits to who can like yaoi and who can't. I think you guys should say no to ppl who fetishize gay men irl. And not this sexuality can't like that bc it's the opposite. I'm okay with girls liking yaoi but if they don't support the LGBTQ then they can go fuck ⁵
straight girls*
I mean I think yaoi is fine, porn is fine, hentai is fine as long as you don't harass people in real life. As long as you don't harm people then you can read/watch whateva the hell u want, except pedophile/kids porn (if that exists), that's just disgusting. I mean often in yaoi, they don't portray gay relationships right, but hentai has the same problem. Like in hentai, females are always horny and objectified. No one's mad at those. Rather than force to limit it to an audience, and since people have different fetishes and kinks, advice is to just keep it yourself and don't harass people.
Yeah, I didn't read OP's comment as saying people couldn't enjoy BL, just that people shouldn't fetishize/project their fantasy on people in real life.
yess that shit's weird as hell. Why do ppl like reading these to cope thru stuff it's not right... but yeah, what I meant was that some ppl hate straight girls who read yaoi and I'm just like
this website won't leme finish that sentence.. I was saying that's really homophobic and transphobic
