I wasn't able to recover from the whiplash caused by jumping from "Oh, what a great stepbrother I now have!" to "Aargh, the gay, it burns! Get it away from me!" to "Let me protect you from being at the mercy of sex friends, and I love you!" to "Let me move in with you." I just couldn't believe that Ryouhei would switch from being a bigoted little homophobic shit stirring up trouble in his family circle to this noble self-sacrificing lover-boy who wants to protect Nanao from the degradation of casual sex and the wounds of sex friends. There wasn't enough of a emotional compulsion for it, and I am a person that tends to think that hate and love are often interlinked, whereas the opposite of love is disinterest, so if there was a believable bone in that sudden transformation, I would've thrown all my support behind it. There needed to be more story between one state and another, more transition. Without it, the book felt truncated, which is such a pity! Such an absolute crying shame! Because it was a great story up until Ryouhei suddenly offered to have sex with Nanao. It was going into utterly realistic and emotionally wrenching terrain up until then. It's just too bad.
Ok let's get this out there, the sex scenes great the character design and art also great. But let me ask this was anyone else like wtf hoe old are they?! That pissed me off that Their ages were not stated clearly. I wondered that through the whole book. I do feel it was a bit rushed and the homophobic brother wants to sleep with him all the sudden....... It just seems to rushed. But I still sound it to be a cute hearted romance that still confused me but made me want to read further. Mostly trying to figure out their ages. But this is one of my fav artist and authors do I had loyalty obligations and. A very biased review.
P.S. I prefer drawings of guys that actually look like guys. Sometimes authors exaggerate feminine characteristics on the face. For example the step brothers eyes. There's natural masculine beauty and then there's poor fantasy. . . just fyi.
There is no incest in this Manga, the first couple are stepbrother, with no blood relation between them, and we know that incest is only between blood related people.
After their parents' remarriage, Ryohei who's younger brother found out Nanao who just became his brother-in-law is gay. Even if Ryohei hates homo but in order to hold Nanao back from meeting his sex-friend, he bluntly says 'I will satisfy your sex drive instead of your sex-friend' and forcefully kissed Nanao - I like stepbrothers so cooool, I don’t remember anything from this
step brothers story with 2 extra stories .. stopping his step brother who is an uke to meet and have sex with another random guys and eventually realizes that oh gosh I loce him .. what I don't like about this manga is the art that I can't see the eyes part .. the character looks like a foreigner ..
