Thank you for your explanation.
Thank you for your explanation, I found the entire manga confusing but I understood what happened at the end because I agreed with your explanation.
Does he suddenly remembered or that he never lost his memory?
Thanx sounds so refreshing to realize what this story actually meant ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
He never lost his memory. When we see him walk with one woman (chpt 3 beginning) he thinks about how he hates it and wishes to forget it... This is after he had already met U.
Also the first time U thinks that S was lying to him. So this time he actually lied and U knew he was lying.
So he never forgot... he just wanted to forget to keep up with the imitation of a happy life.
You're welcome!!
It makes sense now that it's complete.
So does it mean that S father abusing him did happen?
Yes it did.
His parents didn't care about him. His dad used to hit him and his mom didn't care.
His mother got custody after the divorce... she just left one day and never came back.
oH mY gOsh Thank YOu!! after reading this, the my mind was just confused
by "this" i mean the manga not your comment. BUT YOUR COMMENT WAS IN SO MUCH DETAIL SO THANK YOU FOR WRITING IT!!
You're welcome guys!
Ok so I went and read the whole thing again to get continuity... Here's an explaination (it'll be longish)-
Someya(seme) and Uno(uke) [Im going to use S and U] met for the first time a year ago when S was a high-school student and U was a part-time teacher at a cram school. S is a smart kid and one day asks U for a sleepover cause he doesn't want to go home (Which is understandable cause S mom named him after her dog). At first S promises not to do anything to U but he falls in love with U. They have sex but S asks U to wear a blindfold cause his dad has beaten him up. When U goes to work the guy there tells him to maintain distance with S. U sees the mother and he finds her nice. So he questions S about everything... mom...dad... and whether he's lying about it. They break up.
Moving on to one year after that. U meets S again at the same cram school where S has joined as a sensei. He asks U out again but this time he says they should be together till they find partners for themselves. U questions S experienced sex and S says he wants to pleasure him because he actually wants to date him. U sees S outside a hotel with a woman and realizes thats how he got the experience. There's a confrontation and S flat-out refuses that he went anywhere with a woman. Next he comes up saying that they met yesterday when they didn't causing the U to think that the guy has memory loss issues cause he cant remember why their breakup as well... he just thinks that U "faded away". So U starts being super kind thinking that this is an illness and wants to meet the mom (with whom S claims to be staying with). They go to meet the mom but she doesn't come and the house is a mess. She left one day to go to the store and never came back so he takes S to live with him. It seems that S only remembers happy memories and has forgotten the bad ones. Initially, U thinks he can live with the lies but he can't take it and tells S that his parents aren't there. Thats when S explains that he remembers everything. His parents got divorced. He slept with women for money. He just went on coping with it cause of U. He didn't want U to know his circumstances... cause he didn't want his help but wanted his love. He then leaves cause he's guilty of betraying him (by sleeping around).
Thankfully, just as S is leaving with his stuff, U finds him and apologises for doubting S at first when he had parent problems... U confesses that he liked S so he slept with him and he was precious and that he will learn to love him. They agree to move ahead a face problems together. Which is what both of them were running away from to live an "imitation happy life".
The End.
There's an after story though!
