Gave this a chance because of the high rating and comments recommending it, but I rlly wish I didn't. The characters are a 17yo boy and a 8yo kid who's his fated partner. Half the story is the boy getting horny and rubbing himself on the kid, the other half is them meeting again and "finally" having sex. It's also disturbing that mc developes romantic feelings for a literal child and y'all find it cute smh
Even if you enjoy the more twisted mangas, this is just bad. MC was the epitome of a BL uke (awkward, shy, insecure, no sense of self worth), ML was a flat character with no development, shows no guilt for his actions and you're given absolutely no explanation as to why he's so toxic. When uke gets raped he's traumatized, still gets treated like shit and yet has to chase and APOLOGISE to the seme. Tell me how that makes sense
The beginning wasn't that bad, kinda makes you curious and all but as the story goes on you can't even keep count of all the overused tropes. They just keep adding random things and it becomes a mess of a story without a definite identity. Half the things that happen make no sense and are given a very poor and forced explanation.
And they really made the rich kid go psycho, kidnap and almost rape mc, just cause he "wanted some friends"...really now...
I'm a little conflicted about this because the art really is nice, I just hate the ending too much. I honestly can't understand what is that the author was going for, like what was the message? I get that the bro was bad and he needed some kind of punishment, but the whole plan to expose him was weird and the fact that the guy who actually stood there enjoying the poor thing being raped somehow manages to become the hero that saves the day is kinda unsettling, no even gets mad at him
MC is the most stereotyped representation of a cute uke I've ever seen, ML's only personality traits are being a possessive jerk and being horny all the time.
There's rape (he was jealous) and it never gets properly addressed, the seme never apologises for it and it serves no purpose in terms of plot developement. I could go on but I think that's enough for this manga to belong here. A solid 1.7/10 for me, and I'm being generous
Compared to others on this list, this was not bad in the basic concepts and ideas it was built on, it's just very poorly executed. It's your typical story with the toxic fuckboy and his (sex) friend who's secretly in love with him, but the development feels rushed and not believable, even when they get together at the end you don't get the feeling Tachio is really in love. You can find a lot of titles with this cliché plot that have been developed a lot better.
I feel like the only people who could like this are 14 or under but like...you definitely shouldn't read this if you're 14 or under
Even if you wanted to ignore the dumb pretext they used to add a ton of unnecessary smut, with the whole "I'm a half vampire so I need sex to keep myself alive", you have to admit it's poorly written plot-wise, especially when it comes to all the confusing supernatural elements the story heavily relies on. Also none of the characters is really likeable and the whole thing is very predictable and cliché
Ugh
Boring, uderwhelming and confusing, it's not the absolute worst thing I've ever read but I honestly can't think of something nice to say about it. The hyung is the only character I like and that says a lot, and also what's with the sexual tension between all the siblings??? Took me like 3 months to finish it for a reason
