It’s cute. Author draws funny facial expressions. Nothing particularly interesting in the plot but enjoyable. I feel like somethings are missing, like we never found out who was leaving the present and envelope in his locker. Still I enjoyed it and thought the dialogue was funny- I think friends would really speak the way they do with each other. Art is cute, though some scenes that are dynamic could be better drawn though. This feels like the work of an author who can write more complex stories in the future. Just tossing out my thoughts here.
I like their dynamic. Mitsuri is quite an entertaining character. I’ve never read a cakeverse though… I’m not sure if it’s my cup of tea. I like the idea that as you love someone, they taste sweeter. The cannibalism aspect is just so unnerving to me even if people are described as cakes.
“When people aren’t afraid to die, what happens to them?”
Even with people’s explanations I don’t quite get the ending and this final line. I thought he was just going to loose his memory. He was born to kill the sensei so I guess when the job was done he could disappear. Maybe this last line means that Hoshino was not afraid to die and disappear so he was able to rest in peace?
After 2 chapters: Sooo MC thought love interest was like 17 when he was actually 10? I suspend my disbelief for a lot of yaoi plot but cannot suspend my disbelief for that.
THEN IT WAS THE OTHER WAY ROUND
I finally finished it! This was surprisingly introspective in a way that I enjoyed. I think I'm like the only person in the comments section that has a positive opinion of the story...ha
I appreciate how Jooin actually called out the convenient way Yahwi told him his sad backstory when he needed his attention. I hate when romantic leads live their lives for the main character, so Jooin telling Cain to be happy and live for himself was the perfect end to their relationship. But I really wish Yahwi learned to stop thinking about Jooin in all the years they were apart. He was so obsessed. I wish the author created a scene to show us how he properly learned to love someone (like have a better relationship with his family, maybe be in another relationship where he treats the other person kindly). Without such a scene, the ending feels unearned. Honestly, I'd rather Jooin not be with either of them, but I feel like the Yaoi genre would never allow that.
And yes, agreeing with all the other commentators, I really felt like the story just draaaagged on around chapt 75 or so.
Well... should have listened to commenters.
I simply don't understand the direction this turned. I thought they had an interesting dynamic. I thought the writing was good. Perhaps the fact that Albert would literally order Michael to love him was in fact where the story was heading. But forcing him to have sex in front of Heide really happened out of no where. What's more is the fact that this is framed as Michael's fault for not being honest with his feelings; that HE made this inevitable. Yeah, I can like a good sex scene, I can enjoy psychological twisted stories, but this framing... kinda horrifies me.
I'm so glad someone is uploading this. I really wanted to know how their situation will turn out, it seems so hopeless for everyone. The sex scenes do nothing for me- it's all too sad. I hope I still remember the plot when the next volumes come out; I don't want to re-read the messed up parts again.(￣∇￣")
I kept thinking I knew what this story was going to be about but nope, there were layers and layers to the creepiness. It's not an uninteresting story, but the author could have used more time showing how Makoto psychologically manipulated Kei to be dependent on him. It appeared to just be about sex which I don't think is enough of an explanation. With all the horrific abuse that happened in the story, the fact that Makoto sort of 'turned' him gay is somehow the most egregious thing to me.... Art is nice though.
Art is adorable. So much blushing. I do like a good ansty story with pining. I’m glad the author decided not to put a sex scene in the first chapter. It would have been very unnatural for a story like this. I don’t really like that storytelling trope.
