But what could the cousin do but accept it at the end of the day hazuki would have to make that decision alone weather to stay or go. How ever I do agree the ending did glorify abuse like you beat my ass but it ok.
I really love how the (initial) relationship was depicted. That's exactly how an abusive relationship looks like, all the way to the part where the seme guilt trips the uke by saying shit like, "Go on, I'll just be alone again."
HOWEVER, I am very disappointed at the conclusion. It was clear that the cousin (and the uke!) understood how dangerous the relationship was, and I thought that either (a) the cousin would take imperative action and break the two up, or (b) the uke would confide in the cousin and come to realize that he needed to get away from the seme, his feelings be damned.
But the cousin learned to "accept" the relationship. And instead of appropriately portraying an abusive relationship, the manga glorified it. It was so obvious at the the start that the manga understood abuse was wrong, so I kept hoping it would end in a manner that would discourage it, not fuel it on...
