Absolute comedic masterpiece

I have no words.

I lied. I have much to say to this rather flabbergasting one shot.

I think I understand the mangaka‘s intention with them fucking in the storm to show that they are unashamed and steadfast in their selves and choices. This especially applies to Jun who is still young student (just how old is Yoichi, honestly he’s probably a pedophile), unsure, and insecure in his relationship with Yoichi. So Yoichi instead encourages Jun to confront his fears by unabashedly having sex in a typhoon. The typhoon plays dual roles as a test of courage for the couple and shows how their passion is like a force of nature reflecting the weather, but the typhoon is also shielding them from onlookers that could hurt Jun due to everyone knowing each other in his hometown (cause no sane person is going to the middle of nowhere during a typhoon). As many sane commenters have said they could’ve had sex in the car instead but that detracts from meaning of having sex outside during a storm as car sex’s connotation is usually people trying to hide the fact that they are having sex treating it as a shameful act while Yoichi is trying to encourage Jun to let loose.

Still, while I understand the logic, the story is so nonsensical and out of pocket even with context and what doesn’t help is the manga cover which made me first think that this was a gag manga. First is the disturbing notion that Yoichi is likely grooming Jun considering their age difference and creepily how many times Yoichi emphasizes on Jun’s inexperience. Second, there are so many ways other ways that Yoichi could’ve used to encourage Jun, like I don’t know… talking? Taking it slow? Reassuring him consistently? Not become an exhibitionist during a fucking typhoon. And their semen just flying around in the wind, I know it’s trying to emphasize their elation, their synchronization, and how much they became like the typhoon, but all I could’ve thought was the chances of their own cum flying straight to their eyes. I just fucking can’t with this.

For my own sanity I am going to think the mangaka created this as a piece of satire, hence why the ridiculous manga cover, that is supposed to be a coming of age one shot that is suppose to be rather wild and not to be taken seriously to have readers take solace in the absurdity while relating to the grounded worries (of insecurity, growing up, and gaining self confidence despite unaccepting communities. Not the typhoon sex, though if you want to then you do you. I’ll judge but I doubt that’ll stop a specimen like yourself. Just make sure you don’t traumatize the children) that Jun experiences. As to explain the finding “solace in the absurdity” (I didn’t know how to word it better) I think the bizarreness in the story reflects how difficult and overwhelming such feelings are despite it being a common presence in our lives. Having our emotions being portrayed in such an explicit and expressive manner can comfort us validating the impact of such life changing experiences (though hopefully in a less exhibitionist manner) as while most life lessons seem banal on the outside to us personally they are fundamental to our existence and just as an emotional rollercoaster as two idiots having sex outside during a typhoon.
