I'm reading the novel and the "brother" of the uke is a POS
I just started reading it yesterday so I don't have all the spoliers but I do have spoilers of the "uke's brother".
But before that the ML isn't a red flag at all he takes care of the uke in his puppy form. He finds out right away that the puppy he's taking care of is actually the beastman uke that worked at the casino but doesn't care. He still spoiles and teases him and the uke doesn't know that ML knows so he's trying to find a way to escape when his injuries heal and he can turn back human.
So the "brother" is an orphan that's part of an organization and runs a casino. He is racked up some depth some years ago so in order to pay it off he uses/steals from uke's paycheck to pay it off without him knowing. He "claims" that he found the uke in his puppy form abandoned 5 years ago and took him in. But it is most likely that he took some part in him being "abandoned" because he knows what type of beastman his parents were and that he is small most likely because he took after his toy sized maltese mom. He doesn't feel bad Stealing money from the paycheck because "I deserve it since I took care of him for 5 years"
He sends the uke to ML to do one get one last drug package or whatever because he only trusts him, then promises to the uke that after this they will have a normal life. BUT hes actually plans to frame/kill the uke so that he could run away with the drug money, paying off his remaining depth and settle down to marry this one girl before she realizes that he's in an organization. When he meets up with ML to explain that the youngest ran off with their money, ML sews through the BS and before leaving him tells him "You don't know what he likes or when his birthday is... and by the way he likes eel". So then "brother" starts freaking out and is planning with this other horse bestman gang guy to kidnap uke. The horse beastman agrees, if only he could keep uke as his toy until he's tired of him and the brother does not care so he agrees.
Both of them find out that the uke is staying with the male lead because the "brother" explained what he looks like in his animal form. (Small white dog that horse guys saw ML carrying around)
Ngl I sorta don't understand
Story appears to be an allegory about social stigma and extreme alignments. The chaotic and true to their desires demons are 'evil' while the orderly and controlling humans are 'good'. The 'good' humans have shown themselves to be harsh and cruel in her first 2 lives.
The church has zero care for her and are eager to kill her through sacrifice once she performs her duties. They have no regard for her as a person and deny her basic pleasures and once her role is done they even plan to deny her life, sacrifing her. They didn't help her in life 1 and they actively killed her in life 2. So now she is exploring the demons in life 3 and trying to understand what they're truly about beyound what the church has indoctrinated. And already we are seeing a lot of symbolism about balance.
Seme comes across as so weirdly selfish.
The animal disease gives them extremely strong desires for each other. It makes them impose their feelings of lust and ownership on their partner. When not affected, there extremely courteous towards each other, not wanting to cross any boundary.
So the main conflict of the story is: They truly love each other, but expressing that desire is imposing due to their disease, so even if they do love each other, they think they can't act on it. Kamiya decided after 13 chapters of maneuvering around the issue, that their lives for each other is worth it, so he finally takes the step to express his love, even if it makes him selfish. It's both a selfish action and a selfless action, because while it imposes on Hitomi, it also clears all doubt from this heart, that Kamiya doesn't feel the same way.
Oh yeah no that's obvious but I mean more like it's selfish that Kamiya is pushing away Hitomi by not being together with him, as a way of protecting him but...
like he has made it very clear that he would never and can't break up with him so keeps trying to make hitomi do it instead of him that's the selfish part I am referring to.
Since the beginning of the story and before hitomi has the disease its being shown how down right desperate he is to stay by kamiya's side, to the point of proposing of being sex friends. So the way he sorta keeping pushing the whole "break up with me before it is too late because I cant" is pretty cruel and selfish
Nahhh bruhh Grandpa was the worst. Ur telling me that all it took was a random ass girl to come up to him and go "boo hoo have sex with me" FOR HIM TO HAVE AN AFFAIR?? like don't get me wrong I feel bad for the girl but couldn't he like given her a job or MONEY? Isn't their house like famous or whatever??
I feel like what he did is even worse than if he were to slowly fall in love with another girl and they have a kid, becuse then it wouldn't have been an impulse to cheat on me. Ther would be at least a minimal amount of understanding since they had problem convincing a kid but no. All it took for him to cheat on his wife was a random girl to come up to him, ask to have sex for him to do it. If that's the case, I feel like even if they were able to conceive and have their own kid between each other. He would 100% have done it anyways. All it took was a girl asking for sex for him to cheat on his family, what a piece of shit











Bwahahahha that poor fucking horse doesn't deserve that
