By far not the only one.
I feel the same. I swim on Harada and Ogawa's waters, too. My morals are twisted AF but I need Senpai to the rescue, though I hope not anytime soon. Let's fuck them brothers more before delivering relief. I'm a sadist but I'm also hurt, so I'm also a masochist (whut? LOL).
Kinda respectfully disagree (meaning I'll won't downvote an opinion different from mine). Both Harada and Ogawa have similar plotlines of rape/abuse but it's either a situation in which both parts get something they wanted out of the fucked up relationship OR it just goes full-on fucking fuckity fucked. Emotions are dark and negative, unapologetically. HERE, there's a tint of "romance" that doesn't quite sit well with most people. It started all real-lifey and the mood was set to be a story more grounded in real feelings people have, so expectations were formed accordingly. Now it seems to be heading in the same direction as any other generic 90's mediocre yaoi, only full of angst and a dragged-for-too-long better writting . Soo.. I just now got distracted and lost my train of thought .... lol sorry
You said it better than I could. it is like reading 2 different stories in this one. It started out like it wants to be Harada, then it copped out and went "commercial".
It feels to me like it started like one of those indie dark films then it got picked up by a big name production company and suddenly "umm maybe if we put in romance?"
Harada has always been apologetic and none of the characters are blatantly drawn to "have to apologize" they are all dark and escapist and we know where they all stand. Here, it goes nowhere.
oh i agree each and every part that you have said ah i forgot to login well any way it started with realistic potrayl of rape and its circustances but now it feels like its going in the direction of bortherly love and like the story has struck at hikaru raping haruki .it has been like 5 to 6 chapter and it seems like there will be no change .
Really? Am I as numb as Haruki? OMG. Sorry, but it's just that I didn't feel the romance at all. It's because what I understood as we go further into the story is that Hikaru is becoming more and more obsessed over Haruki that it's an obvious disorder already. Meanwhile, Haruki is the passive, paralyzed type of rape victim that is not strong-willed enough to save himself, even if he tries it's not enough. Because let's admit it, there's an ideal way of handling his situation but of course, our characters are portrayed as real as they could get thus instead of getting an empowered victim, we get a weak depressed one; which has a positive (increasing) effect on Hikaru's obsession. I never saw "romance" rather the author dwells more on "depression" and "obsession", well that's at least how the author is coming to me.
Actually it seems like story has stoped at one point and we are watching the samw thing since last few chapter every one is aware of tje situtation but are turning out the blind eye to everything and its looking like tha himaru had no option but only his.brother now which i hope its not but it seems like that .its more about there isnt any real growth sine last few chapter that what people are sad about .i wont stay i felt romance right now bit the way story is going i am afraid that there is a chance that it could happen .but before we had a hope that something will change but its not which is kinf of annoying
'Every one is aware' WE ARE AWARE not the minor characters, sorry but they are not psychics. They are DENSE but they would not be able to figure anything with the mere information they have. To know what's happening, they have to investigate more, which they are not doing. Senpai is on his way, though.
Sensei is plucking all hope away from Haruki because that's messed up, so when rescue comes, it would be unexpected for Haruki and to the readers, who seems to want to gratify themselves immediately.
Yup! Maybe we've been too invested thst we forgot the supporting characters don't know even a third of what we know. But we transfer our frustration on them. It happens in rL too. I understand the readers confused anger.
Damm I am the only sick person who likes the history and their relationship?. I do not know if harada and Ogawa made me change my perspective of seeing things. That now im a twist person but I really hope they can find happiness. For me if sempai returns it will be disappointing. This manga is well developed, perfect and twisted.
