IT HAS BEGUN. AFTER THAT SAD MOMENT AT THE PERFORMANCE.
YAS I AM EXCITED FOR THIS COUPLE TO BLOOM!
*aboards the ship train yet again*
I've seen the anime and read the manga up-to-date in one go. I've never been so conflicted about a boy's love manga before. (Including yaoi, shounen ai..) A part of me wants to believe that Ue and Mafuyu will work out in the future, it is impossible to expect Mafuyu to forget, accept & live with Yuuki's death or move on (whichever you believe he could do) as quickly. He needs his time, his pace and to come to terms with himself and his feelings. His feelings of love & guilt that drag him back to the past and make him almost stun in place. The only light is Ue, a new person, spark, love interest. Ue is pure, kind and wholeheartedly in it. I don't think I can speak of whether they "deserve" each other or one deserves better, but the complexity of the story cannot give clear-cut answers to feelings like that. Love is complicated and human emotions are unpredictable. And it is not all about "the firsts", their love can be extraordinary! It only just begun! Another part of me, however, cannot deny that Yuuki might have been "the one that got away" and will remain as a ghost to follow Mafuyu around. It struck me (in the anime) when Mafuyu was singing, he talked about how he still sees Yuuki everywhere around him. Not just everywhere, he saw him in Ue (shown as a split second perhaps). I cannot shake it off, it's just heartbreaking and complex. It is a very tough, bumpy road for Ue and Mafuyu, and the fact that Yuuki will never be gone from the picture, in one way or another. I don't want him to be gone, since he is a part of Mafuyu and an inspiration somewhat. I want for Mafuyu to come to the realisation that Yuuki is truly gone and that he "is free" to build a strong, perhaps completely different relationship with someone else, in this case Ue. Honestly, I just want them to be happy. And I know that even though Yuuki committed suicide, he did want for Mafuyu to be happy, as paradoxal, selfish or logic-free that might sound. The moments on the beach and his talk about forgetfulness have a meaning on their own. Their relationship had a meaning on its own. I hope Ue and Mafuyu build their own meaning as well.
I am really looking forward to see how all plays out.
And man I've been here for so many years, first time I've ever wrote this much.
I am off to listen to Mafuyu's singing! Again!
Only I can downvote my own comment by accident. *claps*
your comment is.. beautiful
Thank you ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
when you make a galant speech and them trip on your way off stage
"It WASN'T like I went to a brothel or anything" clearly states that the uke didn't go to one and most probably went to a regular hostess bar. Quite frequent in yaoi mangas. Here explained as business side of the story. There's no sexual aspect of it at all. He did say that girls are the best - which is the only thing that bothered me personally. I am not justifying anything, just the backlash seems to be a misunderstanding more than anything.
On the other note, the seme was very sweet with that "I'm already yours" ^-^
Okay yes i love the dicks
But i laughed so hard at the "lets burn your room tomorrow" cause of the bug, thats me ngl
The story was fine & the sex scenes were very nice.
The "simple-minded slut" comment - unnecessary & made me angry.
Overall, a nice read.
The weekly dose of a healthy relationship The fluffy fluff is just (≧∀≦)
This author knows exactly what we need is2g

My heart wasn't ready for it
