pluckaduck's manga / #Yaoi(155)

one of the better stories out there utilizing the rape trope and its consequences properly. they both complex charas did wrong to the other, but it's not trivialised nor forgotten, but they both helped each other. it's a pity tho, all this entanglement and resentment wouldn't have happened if akamine didn't drunk-rape utsumi.

ngl the first couple chapters really gave the seme a bad characterization. he's not like those trashy semes. he did attempt to rape the mc, which is still weird, like I'm still contemplating about it- cuz he didn't seem to be the type to have sex with anyone arbitrarily, but ig it's just the author's way of giving him a bad impression so as the plot progresses, it'll improve? anyway. i like the mc's characterization, he's so ordinary and normal it's endearing. ig that's what the seme, who had a dramatic life, wanted in the end.

any unconventional love(?) story excites me so let's see if this seme is actually his stalker or something. edit: after 12 chapters, maybe i should drop it, it's meandering around the amnesia issue (cmon mc, cant u try harder to recover ur lost memories, especially since you've vaguely realized someone pushed you off the stairs?), and they just hang out. mc's obviously gonna fall for him, but there's absolutely no psychological element, aside from mc's memory loss and ml's yandere-ness, but other than that it's just building their relationship. doesnt stand out from other bl works with similar premises so yeah edit: dropped, mc is too dumb for me

the father is a real asshole. not just a tsundere, but a hot-tempered violent, and homophobic asshole. ch 22. ok wtf. yeesu raped the father-in-law. even tho he's an unbearable asshole, i did not like how they hook up .

ch11. a bit boring, like it seemed interesting cuz of the reversal of cliched tropes (popular ml x quiet mc) but it's not interesting it's cliche, and the developments are def not cute or entertaining, like the part when andrew the ml started beating the mc up cuz he thought he was a stalker that got into his dorm room? and then it got even more ridiculous when mc tried to butter him up afterwards acting like a moron.

so much sugar. It's not too much drama, mainly focusing on their romance, and it goes into depth about the "ideal love" shoujo-readers may impose on their lovers. short, but satisfying ending.
