The art is phenomenal I really enjoy this mangaka’s art concept. Very beautiful. Lol the first story the uke was really dopey lol but in a funny and cute way not an annoying way. That food though!!?? THROW THAT SHIT AWAY. You gone hurt yourself tryna stomach that nasty shit! Just throw it all away! Anyway...Kens story I really couldn’t get into. I understand he’s changed and regrets what he did and this isolated himself and tried to convince himself that he did not deserve love. Which I can respect. But it still in no way justified his actions for me. Nothing ever will. So what his work was hard and the people with him scorned him and smacked him. He never should have let it get to the point where he could hit his partner and “feel better.” That shit just ain’t right. Had it happened the one time and he didn’t want it to happen again he should have just left him and called it quits. Then try being alone for a while. Clearing your head. Quitting your job. Not letting it get to the point where you hate yourself and the way you act with your partner. All that could have been avoided. I’m so glad he found his one and only though because it really does take true and strong love in order to heal wounds and make you better. I’m glad he was able to get better and break down and finally become vulnerable again. He owed it to his partner but more importantly to himself. You are worthy, you made shit decisions, but you need to get back out there and better yourself. Hopefully Ken is better now and does not repeat what happened in the past. I wish them both the best of luck (as if they’re real). But that’s what I love about this mangaka she makes her characters SO RELATABLE. They are real characters that we resonate with and support or hate and want them to grow and move on and find love and be loved. It’s amazing. I want to know these people even though it’s all fiction. Amazing work mangaka, you did that shit.

I really enjoyed the story. It was heartbreaking to see him never wanting to reveal his true feelings but I looooooooove that he was able to get it out AND grt a confession first! That jealousy was hella cute too! Way to go senpai! The art was très nice and everything was overall heartwarming and beautiful. So glad for the happy ending!

Okay, so I thought it was gonna make me hella angry from the comments and it didn’t. I mean, honestly, this was nothing new. The uke is always insecure because the seme never confessed and never expressed any interest. Yeah, he should’ve said something, anything, to this kid about how he didn’t hate him but honestly, it was Hirotos assumptions that made him miserable. Just a whole lack of communication but sometimes we’re our own best enemy. I’m glad everything finally came to light and that they’re together now.

Okay, I can dig it. Not too intense but definitely complex. Mature. Just a lol smut which is too little but it makes you think a lil bit. It was okay. Too short because I want more but it wasn’t all that bad.

Damn...honestly, I need like a year to process my emotions and this story. This story made me go through SO. MUCH. and it wasn’t even my own story! Damn it made me anxious and I was in anguish and it broke my heart but also made my heart swell. Shit! I literally had a discussion with myself in which I needed to pan everything out because from the outside looking in I knew Hideo was in love and wasn’t acting out of pity. But it still hurt to see them think that they couldn’t bring each other happiness! I understand the parents thing I really do because I would HATE IT if my family did not approve of the guy I potentially saw myself getting hitched with. But Hideo should have opened up about it and communicated how he felt. That he wanted their approval and that he was devastated because he didn’t get it. He was selfish. He made Tomohisa go through a lot and honestly him thinking he wasn’t in love and doubting himself was what caused everything but it’s just crazy to me because the whole time I could see how in love he was and how passionate he was about Tomohisa. He was the one who was doubting himself. He was the one who brought the anguish about. It’s crazy how one small thing like your parents saying maybe you aren’t really in love can cause such a huge domino effect bit really....think about it. Our parents are mainly the only ones who can bring us up or tear us all the way down. And I think that’s what happened. His family tore his love down and he let it get to him as any other person would. Damn that was a long rant. This story was very good and I am so glad I read it. BUT. NOTE TO FUTURE SELF: if you are not ready for this heartbreak and anxiety, give yourself a few days because you legit have to mentally prepare for this shit. Trust me. You’ll thank me later. Damn. My heart. And he died! Damn! Shit! Ssllpllzmslsokllapxosolsll!!!!! I need a moment. If you guys will excuse me.
