Ughh I accidentally followed you... Anyway bro the thing is if we were children we would be so unserious about love, feelings or crushes but the fact is.. We are not, we are adults we what is right or wrong, a normal person would definitely won't like if the person there going to date later or just in situationship sleep around!!? Idk the way your talking as if this is a open relationship or maybe your a cheater your self...? Idk I would definitely won't accept this and so all the other sane people here except there are some too free minded people who think this is right, but funny it's not lol
Suzuki said right before it happened to Sugiki that he wouldn't sleep with other men, the Manga is still good and they ended up together so who cares, but it doesn't mean what he did isn't shitty and doesn't make sense as to why he would do it to begin with.
The movie might not be as good as the manga but at least it removed a lot of the problematic stuff this Manga had, including something that does count as cheating even if they were never together.
It's like you are going on a few dates with someone, you two aren't official but things are getting REALLY serious, then you discover your almost boyfriend slept with someone while going out with you.
It's still shitty and wrong, even if you two aren't officially dating.
People aren't overreacting, they are saying the truth/what's right, you shouldn't do this.
Yeah bro like seeing this shit (cheating) getting so normalized in mangas might be having effect on sm people brain and they be thinking “ oh this is normal, not that serious, it happens often , it's okay, no one can control themselves” . While it's totally wrong , ughh is it that hard to stay loyal? Why did you even make the other person like you, and impress and flirt with them and shit, make them have expectations and then go around and just have sex with some other person? Fuvk him
I really do hate BLs like this and it's just so sad usually it's the most good ones, you know?
When you know the character is shitty and the Manga/Manhua etc. is toxic (Jinx, BJ Alex and others toxic like or worse than those) you can quit it or keep reading it knowing to expect the other to be shitty, I feel less "uncomfortable" when the character is shitty because cheating still suck, but the character is so shitty you almost expect it.
With Suzuki?
I didn't.
Sure he slept around but he seemed genuinely loyal to Sugiki even if they weren't together, he promised he wouldn't sleep with others so it meant that while not boyfriends the relationship was serious and when it cut to him post sex with someone else my stomach dropped because he was so sweet to Sugiki all through the story, almost like a puppy.
If the guy I'm interested who's also clearly interested in me (even if we aren't dating, but exclusive enough to not be going with others) turns out to be having sex with other people I would straight up cry.
That is not ok, it's messed up, disrespectful and the most disgusting thing you could do to someone who you made believe things were exclusive even when not together yet.
Him promising that he wouldn't be sleeping with other guys literally makes it clear he's the one initiating a monogamous/exclusive dynamic even if not dating.
I wish chapter 28 disappeared, honestly, from 28 it got so bad, as if it changed writer midway.
From 28 and forward it should be rewritten completely.
The movie in my opinion is better because it removed a lot of the things that were wrong with this Manga.
I swear it's creepy how much cheating is being ignored or considered normal just because they weren't actually boyfriends.
It doesn't matter when Suzuki made it exclusive, you don't promise someone you won't have sex with others if it's not meant to be interpreted as an exclusive relationship.
Before chapter 28 things were still "friendly", not actually in love neither there was a promise of being exclusive, so if Suzuki met other people that's ok, he wasn't at a point where the two were actually invested in each other yet.
But after the train scene things definitely got serious, that's when even if not together the relationship was already leaning into exclusive territory and for a while before chapter 28 things remained like that.
Bro actually .. I have not red this manga that much , just less than 20 chaps cus things were getting bit too confusing for me and the sudden bomb that dropped after I saw in the comments that he cheated and people are actually getting mad at other people for feeling bad about it? Honestly I'm dropping this, ts is just not for... For the same reason I also dropped "kiss me liar" Cus that was even bigger shit
Yeah I know, I was just saying that at one point it was kinda understandable because although Suzuki gave him a little kiss on the lips the two of them were still kinda "neutral" about each other before the train scene, before that Suzuki was shown to be in his bed with a girl (if I'm not wrong) but that was before both actually developed feelings and before things got actually exclusive, like, right when they first met or something like that, so I didn't mind much.
At that point they really were nothing, after that Suzuki wasn't shown sleeping around anymore and was always with Sugiki then chapter 28 happened and the story went downhill from there.
I don't know if what I'm saying makes sense, this is mostly what I remember.
Suzuki was shown to sleep around two times, one was when they just met/were still not in love or close so they didn't own each other exclusivity, the second when they became exclusive although not together after Suzuki promised he wouldn't sleep with other men.
This is what I remember at least.
The point is, Suzuki suck and he's a cheater (also I think if I read correctly that at one point a orgy happened and Sugiki was participating in it, but I didn't bother reading everything because I was disgusted with the Manga, I remember seeing Sugiki in some man bed and this man said he enjoyed watching young people "move their hips" and Sugiki apparently slept with one of the 3 people there, one of them looked like Suzuki but I don't think/know if it was him, so in total it was Sugiki, the older man and 3 people and apparently a orgy happened but I really don't know, it seems like he did sleep with someone else but at that point Suzuki called things off with Sugiki so Sugiki didn't cheat compared to Suzuki because Suzuki broke things off after cheating on him, that's what I read through, I kinda skimmed through if that's how you say it, but I did stop for the important parts)
You probably need to revaluate your reading comprehension and morals.
If someone says "I won't sleep with other men" that means ONLY one thing, that the relationship is exclusive even if they aren't together.
That's a promise Suzuki made to Sugiki and didn't keep.
Even if they weren't together Suzuki PROMISED monogamy/an exclusive relationship.
You need to understand not being in a relationship doesn't mean things weren't serious/exclusive.
Suzuki MADE things exclusive the moment he said "I won't sleep with other guys" then did it anyway.
After that Suzuki broke things off and Sugiki took part in a orgy but given Suzuki broke things off that isn't cheating.
You need to understand that just because two people aren't together it doesn't mean it's not cheating.
They were clearly at a point where they were exclusive even if not in a relationship, it's literally in the Manga.
That only means one thing, they were serious about each other if Suzuki promised them that.
Just because they are fictional that doesn't mean you should throw your morality in the trashcan.
If Suzuki MADE IT EXCLUSIVE even if not in a relationship they were clear too close to go have sex with others.
You can't say my reading comprehension sucks when you don't even understand why they were already exclusive even if not together.
If things weren't serious Suzuki wouldn't have to say "I won't sleep with other men".
Oh looks like you get offended ohh I'm so sry, fr I thought maybe you do shits like this and thinks it's normal that's why your supporting this idea? But yknow yknow once a cheater is always a cheater especially if the main character is someone like playboy sleeping around, and then do this? I guess you also maybe support grape and shits cus that only happens in between fictional characters no? Lol
And also aren't you are too defensive for someone who is supposedly "right" Lol, calling us children just because we have emotions, feelings and shit, and maybe you seperate sex and relationship differently , or just too strongly with on the lables and shit? See love is isn't contractational shit it's pure, it starts with feelings and ends with loyalty but nowadays people have completely ruined the meaning, they don't care about anyone, but themselves.. People with different opinion can never have a actual conversation so just leave it
If YOU are going on steady dates with someone, ok?
You follow me up until there I assume.
You two have been going to dates, kissed, held hands and expressed affection to each other.
You two are NOT together but still having regular dates and exchange of affection, that means you two are currently being exclusive and shouldn't be meeting up with other people even if not together because things are getting serious.
Suzuki SAID "I won't sleep with other people/men", you remember that right?
That is a PROMISE OF EXCLUSIVITY, he promised Sugiki he WOULDN'T sleep with others.
So by default that means that he shouldn't be sleeping with other people and he PROMISED EXCLUSIVITY to Sugiki, broke his promise of exclusivity and then told Sugiki they can't be a thing.
If that isn't serious and Suzuki promising to be loyal although not together then what is?
You don't need to be together to be exclusive, you can't sleep around if you are trying to get with someone and you promised you wouldn't have sex with others.
That's the basic.

Y'all are children
