The main problem with this story (for me) isn't that this dynamic has been done a trillion times before. It's that in terms of dialogue/execution there's not much interesting going on. I feel like I'm reading a stereotypical romance plot but there isn't anything interesting going on for it outside of very pretty art. This is not helped by the fact that this author/artist has basically reskinned the personalities of the characters of their past work and upped the ante. These personalities and dialogue felt more believable and down to earth when the story was about college students fumbling through a cautious, ambiguous relationship. I don't find fault when a story ends up at a predictable destination, but when the journey to get there feels drawn out and boring then well ¯_(ツ)_/¯ (I'm tuning in to see the conclusion and because i enjoy the art. Please leave the "stop reading if you hate it comments!!" At the door thanks)
No one is complaining about the rape. There are people on this saying it wasn't which is disgusting. Just because he's stronger and could push him off DOES NOT mean he wasn't raped. Lots of rape victims freeze up in shock while being attacked. You disgusting people need to get rid of your nasty ass mindsets. Enjoy the story all you want but stop trying to justify the characters' actions. That guy got no consent because THE MAN WAS FUCKING ASLEEP. Just because he got hard does not mean he wanted it. MEN CAN BE RAPED TOO. You yaoi fan girls have now gone too far with your ignorance. Take a goddamn break from looking at this shit and NEVER apply anything that happens in these stories to real life.
I agree 100%. If people could just accept it's rape and then enjoy the manga knowing it's rape, there wouldn't be a problem at all. But that's not the case as displayed in the comment section. We have people who outright deny there was any rape and say there was consent. They justify the action with excuses that are simply invalid.
Congratulations! This comment is Anon Approved. Insightful! Keep up the good work.
at least his sister knows he's gay and accepts it. she probably won't care much about her friend dating him. the mom on the other hand...
don't you guys actually see how manipulative blondie is????? it seems like he's literally trying to isolate red haired dude. either that or just being extremely possessive over him and making sure he's his only friend. that's the honestly the kind of toxic people you cut out of your life. it doesn't matter how much he fucking likes him wtf
i wouldn't get our hopes up on this one. this authors' works always get licensed after the first chapter gets released
this reminds me of Clear's bad end on dmmd
i had to google it... insta regret （/TДT)/
This reminded of the Orc's bride and that's a memory I wish I could erase from my already disgraceful existence.
"Fun fact: this is based off of a real Roman emperor named Elagabalus. He is known for being gay and prostituting himself to random men despite his position. It is argued as to whether he was a transgender woman or wanted to be treated like a woman because it was degrading. He was only 14 when he became emperor and was a huge troll, making ridiculous, sadistic requests. He literally changed the official religion to an obscure cult. Basically everyone hated him and thought he wasn't fit to be emperor. At one point he wore only woman's clothing and make up and even asked doctors to make him a vagina (this was impossible at the time). He had a husband too. Eventually he was assassinated at age 18 and everyone was releaved." this was on myreadingmanga lol
damn what a way to live
From this comment, I went on Wikipedia and found anew that the song, "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General", the line "the crimes of Heliogabalus (the alternate name of Elagabalus)" was about this guy. I was not thinking this story would come round to a Gilbert and Sullivan musical.
He.. Had a husband..? How come?
Guess they had their hands too full to be upset just about the gender of his spouse
Must be marriage because of lust not love...
He needs some fluff not gore
Is Fukusuke trying to make him collapse by messing with his schedule and making him overwork himself..? I can't understand his intentions.
Because that would leave him in a vulnerable state, just like in vol 1 when he stressed him out with the stalker thing. He hopes to be there for Shou to depend on him, feel like he can depend on him and open up to him, when that happens.
Fukusuke basically creates problems and bad situation just so he can play savior/dependable lover at just the right time to sway Shou.
Those are very yaoi-ful proportions
