Comments of Bitter - Kare no Hisoyaka na Seppun

Hasunobe Yoshitake, general manager of a luxury hotel, finds himself in deep hot water when he has nonconsensual sex with a drunken customer who turns out to be the owner of his hotel's rival. Sequel to Sweet, and one of Minami Haruka's few dramas.

So hot. Makes me wish to be a man and pound harder the uke

I think I would have liked it more if Shou would have confessed to the Yoshitomo

This manga is soo amazing! The story is make my heart doki doki~

I think this is better than "Sweet" about the other brother, maybe due to the greater challenges that needed to be overcome for them to be together

The handsome young manager of an upscale hotel takes care of a passed-out drunken guest, whom he proceeds to molest while he is asleep. In the morning he is appalled to find out the guest he just assaulted is the manager of a rival hotel that has been a thorn in his side for awhile. When the guest offers his body in exchange for a business deal, he is torn between his growing sexual attraction and his dedication to his own business.

This is a better story than the summary makes it sound; this is definitely one of those manga that was a pleasant surprise. It has a heady mix of intense interpersonal and corporate drama, together with a slight break from uke and seme stereotypes. Instead of being an instance of "seme assaults the uke and it's fine because of love," the assault is (while perhaps not dealt with in a way that would be sufficient in real life) only ever seen as a violation by both characters - an act that is regretted, particularly as the seme comes to realize he has fallen in love with the uke. While I do think that this could have taken a little longer (there are a lot of things to unpack) to develop the relationship, it is a satisfactory story that had more than enough to keep me interested and engaged until the end. I also appreciated that while this does have a happy and hopeful ending, it isn't as unambiguous or aggressively happy as many other BL tend to be. So yes, check this out if you want something more adult and complicated than your usual BL manga that may be a little weak on character development but it has more than enough virtues to compensate for that. Warnings should be apparent from the summary.

why is there no yaoi in the genre?!

The ending is so sweet^^

Loved the couple and it had a good story as well. I am glad that they ended up together. They finally love each other.

This is the counterpart to Sweet.

Smutty and romantic in its own way. Loved the characters a lot.

Interesting but I liked the other brothers story better. In this story the managers from rival hotels are contemplating a business arrangement with sex on the table. However Yoshitomo doesn't want Shou that way cause for him it was love at first sight.

Boring story, subpar art.

Sequel to Sweet; almost better than Sweet

Spin off de Sweet avec le frère aîné du patîssier amateur et son rival d'une chaîne hotelière.

I didn't think that I'd enjoy it this much, but they're actually sweet together!
