This creeper me out. I got to the bed scene with the kid and the uke and was like "woah! The f***? I'm out" quite literally.
Yup, same here. Totally disturbing o_0
That was a bit of a dark dive compared to sensei's other works. Kinda hope it continues just to see what happens. But cheating is bad!
I really like this couple! I feel that they are very different from the typical yaoi story lines! (Like how the uke is totally obvious about his feelings or how the seme has a complete 180 personality after being found out.) This is really good so far! Can't wait to see where it goes.
If somebody doesn't realize how hard dio is trying to save all his friends and he gets killed, I will have a conniption! SAVE HIM ROOD!
I feel bad for Udou, but I mean, he's only making it worst off for himself! I feel more for Takeuchi! Imagine yourself as a guy and working up the courage to pursue another man only to have it thrown back in your face. Ouch. I know that's why Udou's scared but sending a girl to the hotel room was just stupid.
Udou's so scared of falling even deeper. Not to mention, he's sure that Takeuchi's still straight, and his apparent attraction is just because of his kindness and the spur of the moment. Udou wouldn't be able to stand dating Takeuchi and being dumped and abandoned later.
But yeah I can understand poor Takeuchi, who is starting to chase after Udou, but is being rejected and even cruelly tricked at the end.
Fuck this. My heart is tearing in half for the both of them.
Psychologically speaking there can be some insecurity left when someone, gay, bi or, lesbian dates someone that claims themselves straight. I don't thing Udou would have been happy in a relationship with Takeuchi anyway for this reason. Number one, his pride is far too high to actually talk this through with his partner (which is what i did since she was originally straight...in fact she still is. i just happen to be the exception the way i am in most things in her life). Anyway, another reason i don't think it will work out, is that i don't think Takeuchi has a full grasp of this situation. His mindset about relationships is more childlike that Udou's. More positive yes, but also one that clashes with Udou's more negative outlook...which leads to reason number three, even if there were none, Udou would find a problem due to his negative thinking....anyway, thats all. In the end i still hope they get together.
All very good points. I fully and agree and hope they find a way to work it out in the end!
（￣へ￣）not gonna lie, the uke is starting to piss me off
Just an honest question, have you ever experienced anxiety or depression?
Because it doesn't seem as if you have, no judgement, you're just lucky if you haven't had to.
It's not pretty, and as a character he's not meant to be 'pretty' he's meant to be human. It seems for a lot of us here, myself included, that our experiences allow us to see the humanity in his character. It makes his fears real, his anxiety real, it allows us to get absorbed into the story. I'm not putting down your opinion. Just stating mine.
^^ Agree x infinity.
For someone with such low self-esteem, this type of long-distance relationship must be one of the most difficult challenges he's ever faced. His anxiety must be overwhelming, not to mention, I'm sure he feels worse for having these thoughts because he wishes he could be sunny and supportive and trusting for the seme. Wish I could send 1000 hugs his way.
YES! I AGREE WITH U. THE UKE IS A PUSSY GIRL
I experience anxiety, and it's not that I don't understand that it can be crippling. It's just that this character has this amazing man who will do anything under the sun for him including travel once a week to see him despite his exhaustion. At some point we all know that the uke is going to start to become more confident and start to see him self in the eyes of the seme. I just feel worse for the seme than I do for the uke at this point because no matter what he seems to do for him, it's never good enough.
And I'm allowed to say that the uke pisses me off BECAUSE I know how it feels to be depressed and have anxiety. I didn't mean to offend anyone.
Oh, no offense taken (at least not by me ^^).
Like I said, an honest question, and you are absolutely entitled to your own interpretation and opinion, and to express it however you feel best.
I just wish that other people would engage you in conversation instead of pressing a button to disapprove of your personal thoughts - that's how flame wars start.
So thanks for the reply, it was interesting to know your thought process, even if I don't agree (but now I understand why you think that way).
