I agree with you entirely. Actually, shou is from a family of good looking brothers, and one of them has a separate story. I think you should read it, it's called itoshi akuma. The brother's name is naruse, and he's not like shou. He's quite aggressive, but headstrong when it comes to trying to get the uke, and shows no interest in any other person. Very faithful, but if you're the type that's not interested in rape based stories well, don't read it.
I am glad I read this comment, because I was giving up on this one because it's hard for me to read.. I mean literally... the way it's drawn and the placing of the speech bubbles is difficult for me. I read Naruse's story a long time ago.. I remember I liked it ok, in spite of some difficulty reading for the same reason, and overlooking a lot of rapey scenes... but I never like cheating type stories, so I am glad I am not missing anything here.
Definitely not missing much.
And I agree with you about hard to read/follow.
I find this artist's work very difficult to understand.
Even if you don't get turned off by the rape and infidelity, which I do, these stories are really hard to decipher.
Not even sure why I bothered to read as much as I have other than maybe hoping the stories will improve.
Couldn't get into this story because Shou-chan is so unlikable.
He claims Hisashi is his soulmate, but he's banging anyone and everyone.
Sorry, but Hisashi should move on, then tell Shou-chan that's he's fallen in love with someone else who isn't a faithless slut.
Now that would be a happy ending...
For me at least.
