It’s really surprising to me how many people don’t like the seme even though he never did anything the uke didn’t consent to, and even somehow blame him for being manipulated into sex at a super young age?? (⊙…⊙ ) ..is it just cause he has a lot of sex? ...doesn’t make a lot of sense but okay???
because the uke's consent was based on a lie. their relationship started off with lying, manipulation and taking advantage of the uke's kindness. just bc someone offers to do something they are CLEARLY uncomfortable with, doesn't mean u can use the "consent" card to gloss over the fact that you behaved like an asshole,
What lie do you mean?
Why don't you re-read the manga? The seme himself admits in an internal monologue that what he told the uke was a lie.
I just reread it and he never lied about anything, I think you might be remembering it wrong. The only maybe lie I could find was when the seme asked him to have sex and went along with it when the uke said yes even when he only wanted to tease him - but he tells him later on during sex that he just wanted him to say “disgusting” again. I guess you could be referring to when the uke asks why they have to have sex so much and the seme says it’s his sex drive, then the uke assumes it’s cause he’s a “superior” race, which the lion doesn’t correct him on even though he thinks that’s not it. But that’s just an assumption the uke made, and the seme even thinks later how he does actually have a higher sex drive now he’s sleeping with the uke, which makes what he said actually true.
Plus the uke clearly wanted to have sex with him, he was just using the “giving him release” thing as an excuse - it’s obvious the seme wasn’t expecting him to say yes and it wasn’t his intention into manipulating him into doing it. The uke even says later how he was the first one to like him and the lion guy only saw him as a friend. If anything, it’s the uke who has been lying to the seme, since he keeps withholding info about how he’s feeling and letting the seme have misunderstandings. Like when he pretended not to remember anything when they met again in high school and said “disgusting” earlier on - it’s obvious he knows how that came across to the seme but never clears it up with him. The seme always acts accordingly with how he’s feeling and his thought process at the time, by that I mean he never lies
the uke clearly had a crush on him since middle school but didn't want to admit it. so even though he said something like "do it with me so you don't have to touch other herbivores" to sound all heroic about it. that was just an excuse. he wanted to be with him and their "deal" was the only way he could think of to make that happen.
Honestly I was kinda expecting a stronger reaction from Justin when he found out they met as kids when jake was being abused and he waited EVERY SINGLE DAY for him to meet at that same place cause he felt so guilty but ok
RIGHT! I'm tearing up and Justin is like "oh golly gee, was that me?" Hug him or something!!
Exactly! (〜￣△￣)〜 that was so weird lol I was fully waiting for him to break down cause he felt so bad
Also thanks so much for updating!!! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ I didn’t realise this was dropped but I’m so happy you’re picking it up and I understood it just fine, it’s really good actually, especially considering this is just your first time! ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
Whattttt I literally thought they were a girl this whole time!!! I didn’t even realise until I looked at the comments lol clearly my observational skills leave a lot to be desired... suddenly that makes them wayyy more of a threat considering this is a bl (￣∇￣")
WHY. ARE. THESE. TRIBES. PEOPLE. SO. STUPID!!! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
I really love this, everything is great, but idk something still just rubs me the wrong way about how diesel cheated on the other guy with ein and that’s why he died. Diesel said he loved that guy, even more than ein (but then why did he go with him?), but did he really?? It annoys me that he thinks that was love if he was so willing to throw it all away, plus he still doesn’t know the other guy apparently was only “fascinated” by him or something like that, which seems more like infatuation than love. I’m not sure if it was sort of referred to earlier when ein told diesel like “that’s not love” when talking about minsuks ex but I don’t know if that also pertains to diesels old relationship, and if he realised that or not — I just really want him to acknowledge how it wasn’t love so I can stop feeling so bad for the ex! ╥﹏╥
Just my own interpretation but I think it was cos diesel was confused about what love is. He went through something traumatic and was lonely so he was ready to do anything for the only person he had. The author didn't flat out word these things out but she did leave some hints for it. Like diesel slept with Ein because he felt like that was the first time someone held him so gently. I mean the ex treated diesel as his thing so I didn't really feel bad for him. At the airport too diesel said he was ready to die for that ex even if he didn't love him and he was thankful Ein saved him from living such a sad life. That was him basically realizing that what they had wasn't love. And at the end he found people like him and wasn't lonely anymore so he was able to confirm his feelings for ein (at the start diesel was really stuck wondering if this time it was love or was he just lonely). Overall I think the author was able to show all the character's emotions so well and I loved that. Thank you for coming to my ted talk! Sorry this was such a long comment lol
It’s fine lol thanks for telling me, I finished the story a while ago and couldn’t remember the details, but that just stuck with me when I reread a bit. But I’m happy that diesel does eventually realise it wasn’t love, plus I have no doubt the ex wasn’t actually a great person and I’ve just made him better in my head over the years cause he got cheated on and I felt bad lol even though he’s technically in the mafia, so he did probably treat him badly but at least now it’s confirmed (at least in one interpretation) so I can move on with a clear conscience (about this story anyway)
Haha I'm glad (^_^)
I also feel bad about that Yanok? that mafia guy but he just treats Diesel as one of his things tho :<
Yanek*
I’ve enjoyed reading this so far, my one problem is, obviously the rape #－.－), and just that I think after the uke asked the seme to stop doing that without his permission, it seemed like the seme started to guilt trip him with own abusive story to make him feel bad about it - I mean it obviously isn’t okay that happened to him too but it’s not an excuse. But I think it got better after that stopped and their relationship progressed
I really love this drama!! Especially because there was no unnecessary drama and nothing felt forced but it was still super entertaining to me with an emotional element
I meant “I really love this manga!!” Lol ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
I really liked it but I’m just confused by some things, like Hyunsung obviously felt lonely and mad after the stalker could so easily leave him after everything he did, so did he then tie him up so that he would feel less lonely but realised he was getting too close to him so planned to leave, or as revenge so that the stalker would become more used to him and dependent on him and then hyunsung would leave (he was planning to leave to the apartment) so the stalker would feel the same pain he felt??? But then he convinced hyunsung he was sincere and he gave him a chance.
Also, he said he was also stalking other people, but then he said hyunsung was his first- so did he mean he started stalking him first or he was the first he was intimate with??
And then that guy the stalker met up with and brought him back to his apartment, was he another guy he was stalking?? I’m leaning towards no because he didn’t seem to mind seeing him but then the stalker also said they’d all accepted it by then.
Sorry this is so long lol (￣∇￣")
Wait is the guy who lives with the mum and her son, her brother or the dad?? Cause this entire time I thought he was the dad (⊙…⊙ ) but if he’s the brother that probably means he’s gonna be a second love interest and I was really hoping there wasn’t going to be one (〜￣△￣)〜
But now that I notice it, they actually have the same hair colour (or I guess shade) while couples usually have different colours, I’m assuming to make it more obvious who is who and when people are related soo they probably are actually brother and sister (￣へ￣）Which fully strips away all my hope that he’s not acting jealous in the last chapter
