I get the points you make but don't understand your way of rating a manga.
It seems like you would only give five stars to a plot were everyone acts like a model citizen and does the 'right' thing as you define it. But then all five star stories would be about perfect people and perfect couples.
Would be super boring imo.
Not to be mean or anything, just felt like replying (●￣(ｴ)￣●)
Hmm.. what I am saying is that it is frustrating to read. I rated 5 stars as long as it moved me, painful experiences, happy relationships and whatnot. I rated it 1 when I find it boring. 2 for reasons I stated, 3 for... somewhat ok..? ╮(￣▽￣)╭
then let me rate your comment: one star is off for thinking every bl should represent the community and seeing art a way to show your ideas and believes, art stands for it self, anther one is off for thinking art should be realistic , anther is off cuz u can't see that writing a character as emotional and empathetic like the uke here is simple cheating , the author obviously tried to keep his absurd relation to the younger seme throughout the story as to show us how he strongly wants to find that person to be loved by and emphasize his monologue at the start when he stated that there is no way his relationship with the one he loved can work... in other words, these two relationship is a literature approach to one deepest and most believed feelings that should not be compared to reality...
Thank you for rating my comment. I'll keep that in mind. (=・ω・=)
I gave this manga a rating based on my personal experience. It is indeed a realistic portrayal of a relationship, and not just LGBT relationships. I gave two stars for the following reasons,
1. He cheated, I don't care if you are miserable in a relationship. Cheating is cheating. Period. There may be reasons, but no justification.
2. They are cowards. If he wants to break up with the divorced man, he should straight up told him and do shits like "purposely caught in the act of cheating". Tell your partner, goddammit.
3. That fucking divorced man has been dilly dallying and he's fucking selfish, he leads the uke on. Giving up on the uke that quick either means he is a coward or he doesn't love him enough. Either way, I don't like him.
I'm hurt with this manga. ╥﹏╥
