I really wanted to like this manga—I truly did—but there are just so many things I hated about it.
First, the seme is annoyingly overbearing. He says he loves the uke and openly claims they’re dating, but three seconds later he’s getting head from another character (ugh). He doesn’t act like he loves him at all—he just comes across as constantly horny, which is especially uncomfortable considering Taichi’s trauma.
Second, Taichi’s friend—who I initially thought was a good person—knew that Taichi had been SA’d by his brother and did nothing because he “didn’t want things to be awkward.” What the hell. Seriously, what the hell.
Third, the seme’s annoying lackey literally wanted Taichi to be gang-raped, and there are zero consequences for it. No punishment. Nothing. Taichi’s so-called “lover” just says, “Bad minion, that’s not what I asked,” and his “best friend” is like, “I get you.” Is there anyone in this manga who actually takes Taichi’s trauma and well-being seriously? Even his family brushes it off with comments like, “lol, he always attracts weird guys.”
And don’t even get me started on the brother who caused the trauma in the first place—he just gets bonked on the head and that’s it. It’s even played as comedy, with the @_@ eyes and everything.
I know some manga aren’t meant to be taken seriously, but that wasn’t the case here. You have to choose whether you want the story to be serious or not, because mixing the two just ends up creating a mess—like this one.
