Jesus these brothers are dense. If I was in a relationship where it's impossible for us to have kids with each other we'd adopt or seek out a surrogate mother if we want biological kids.
But in my case I'm barren and I originally don't want kids so it's a win win.
My point is...forget surrogacy, 2000 is a year where even Facebook hasn't launched. You can't judge this old manga with today's common sense, it's funny. Of course it is already possible at that time but not as accessible like today (likewise with adoption)
P.s Look at the dates of these comments lmao, I'm tempted to reply a year later XD
Even today same sex marriage is ilegal in Japan, more adoption (even tho they can do adult adoption). And by 2000 surrogacy was only something whispered that Hollywood celebrities did it wasn't an option for gay couples in Japan. (Not that having 5 day brothers in the same family isn't fantasy enough lol)
I like how they have to do a presentation on how their relationship would benefit their thoroughbred families. Even if the uke's family is an alpha family they're still herbivores. Ouga and the uke's relationship will look as though the herbivore is yielding to the carnivore, making them (horses) look bad.
Which I kind of can see.. but in that case, if Ouga should take the uke's family name then it's a fair trade, I guess.
I think the "only thoroughbred can have thoroughbreds" means that their kids would be lions instead of horses too, that would also explain the cover page with only lion cubs and how at the end they say the family line will be secure cuz of the sister (tho I don't love the trade off of, for the older bro to have his love, the responsibility of lineage falls upon the literal child experiencing their first crush)
Shounen ai but they showed sex? I don't read shounen ai yaoi that much because I want to see steamy scenes, but I wonder how many "shounen ai" yaoi I missed..
They should remove shounen ai on this manga.
It's misleading.
I mean, I got what I came for, but I almost didn't read it when I saw shounen ai.
Shounen ai is usually the ones that don't show steamy scenes, shounen ai means boy love, so they shouldn't remove it. In my opinion, the translator/uploader isn't technically correct at the label 'shounen ai' because if there are steam scenes then it should be labelled as yaoi since it is bl but with spice scenes
