The ending of that last one left me like "What the ever loving fuck did I just witness?" O_o
I'm not really into "bloody" stories where everyone beats the shit out of each other and get sexual pleasure from it.
The rest of the manga was good though!
Well, that went from a promising story about two quirky guys to a typical yaoi rape and blackmail REAL quick...

I hate to admit it, but I didn't bother looking for any descriptions or explanation for this manga. You had me at "Chicken Stalker".
And I regret nothing!
Your comment made my day! ^^ Just exactly the same that I`ve done :D
I think everyone is in agreement that Kenji takes the whole "tsundere" thing WAY too far. I want to love him, but his sour disposition after all this time is really off-putting. He comes across as rude for the sake of being rude. He's not even being mean to "hide" his feelings. He's just... kind of an asshole who likes using people. I know that the two of them will probably be together in the end, but I really can't picture them being in a healthy relationship unless there's some big changes in their dynamic.
I've read some pretty disturbing shit in my day that involved rape, incest, abuse, etc. But this manga really rubs me the wrong way for some reason. It's almost like... they're trying to glamorize physical assault? I find myself not really understanding or sympathizing with their current situation. They came from a toxic family where the father abused the mother, so the boys run away when the mother died.... And then "big bro" decides to start the circle of abuse all over again with his brother and calling it "sadism"???
Personally, I think calling them a sadist and masochist is completely inaccurate. Where I come from I call it: "beating the living shit out of your emotionally damaged sibling and sodomizing them".
I agree completely, there's a difference between legit BDSM and this. I don't see the safe-word, aftercare and informed prior consent anywhere.
Oh, I forgot Translator-sama does say something to this effect in the intro to chap. 3. He/she did her best in trying to warn us, but it's impossible not to react nonetheless... Translator-sama herself calls it "a twisted ride".
I also think the one who keeps glamorizing it is that darn cousin of them. Call it an excuse not to do something to actually help them (and he was supposed to be one of the "sane" people in the story). It's actually him, I think, that is the most guilty one here, especially if it ends bad (with a sad ending) like the translator hinted.
I love how every single comment about the latest chapter is voicing their disgust over throwing out perfectly good ice cream. LOL.
Forget the steamy sex, THOSE ICE CREAM CONES DESERVED BETTER!
Despite the whole cheating fiasco, I can still appreciate a sexy reversible couple
ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
I have no idea what's going on anymore or who anyone is ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Guess it's time to reread.
sAME
GAH! MY EMOTIONS! ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
Take me back to the first chapter when they were young, silly boys playing the white line game. There shall be none of this death business! My heart can't take it!
