I freakin love this manga, there is something really really appealing to me with this kind of storyline. I don't know why I find blackmailing for sex super hot but I do, the forceful pursuit really gets to me. Best of all I like the honor student x delinquent relationships that doesn't start of completely willingly from one of the parts.
Omg, same...
I freaking love this manga, it's so adorable! And it's such a refreshing mix of characters/couples and I love it! The only complaint would be: too damn short! And I love that Shuji was a uke. Totally unexpected but really amazing, but damn I wanted more heavy sexscens. ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
This is probably at least the tenth time I re-read this, love it so so much.
Ah, premature posting :-/
I think it's amazing how this manga feels so light and fluffy, yeah have such complicated characters and character development. It feels like you truly get a feel for who they are, especially Hajime, a lot of depth in few pages. I find it quite impressing.
This was really sweet and adorable and pure andI liked all of the couples. Such a nice comfortable feel to it, would have loved some hot and heavy smut though. But I liked it a lot, it was quite lovely storylines.
Oh by the way, does anyone recognise the art at the last page of every chapter? Looks interesting.

Thats a gintama dj. Theres lots of them at myreadingmanga.info
Ah, thanks, but you don't happen to know who the artist is? They might have more mangas :)
i don't know the artist but if you search it in the search box there's a lot that will pop out
You should check out 3745HOUSE, the very last page is made by that artist. Also, the mangaka of Parallel Lines (this manga) also made Gintama doujinshis.
Oh my Godess, this is just too damn cute, I like vet love love this story so adorable! Probably read it 10+ times, one of my absolute favourites. <3
Oh my, this was so good! Especially the last story, so incredibly sweet! I'm envious of Noboru!
The last story ruined it for me, first was super cute, second was interesting but the last one was just horrible. What the fuck!? "I'm the victim here" really? Reeeeeeeallyyyyy? Don't freakin looks like it from my point of view.
If the last story ruined it then why was the first super cute? Both semes blamed their atrocious behavior on the victim. Ktbn.
And this, anyone recognise this manga?

Am I the only one who absolutely hated that story? And Jin in particular?
Jin is being abusive, and it's not okay. I feel like his behaviour not only is emotionally abusive but seems to resemble a subtle form of psychological abuse called gaslighting.
I mean like here, what the f ?

What do you expect dude? He IS a brat, a high school kid ten years your junior.

What's up f with,
if it's just about sex then we shouldn't have bothered
Sex is one of the best parts of travelling?
So which is it? Or is Jin just saying whatever to confuse and hurt him?
Again, what the f did you expect asshole? Hurting someone's feelings ain't exactly foreplay you know.
And really, so he couldn't concentrate because he was nervous and excite for that evening. Big fucking deal, the only one at fault is Jin for shaming him for a perfectly normal and somewhat expected behaviour.
If this was a real life situation and not fiction, the uke would be totally fucked if this relationship goes on. Jin's gonna crush him and brainwash him until there's nothing left of the person he was except a shell holding the broken pieces of what he once was.
It is very problematic when entertainment portrait abusive behaviours like this. It worries me.
Not "that story" the SECOND story. Damn autocorrect!
I got confused with the way Jin's mind was working or, should I say his words? But it didn't cross my mind that he was being abusive, beacuse it didn't even feel that he said things intentionally to shame Tatsuhiko. Interesting opinion, it made me look with another perspective to the second story. Btw, thanks for the new piece of information, never heard about gaslighting.
I don't think it's supposed to be abusive but it ends up that way with the way Jin is acting. And I think it ruins the story completely. It could have been such a great story.
It's not uncommon, gaslighting is generally little known to the lager population. When you read about it, it might not seem so bad. The things said and done can seem really harmless, like my mother insisting on having told me before about the family dinner the next day when she calls me the evening before and claims I'm the one who has forgotten about it. But the effects of gaslighting are really serious and extreamly dangerous. It really and truly drives you insane.
The fact that this could have been abuse, strangely, hadnt crossed my mind. But i did pick up on how fucked up Jins behaviour was, so much so that i coudnt even bring myself to read one of the pages because it seemed so hurtful. And i thought i was the only one who though jin was giving out mixed signals and fucking with the other guys head. I mean, dude measured his dick for a whole fucking YEAR because jin decided to be sarcastic and never actually clarify. And though i suppose thats meant to be funny, its not, kid probably has confidence issues now.
Really you thought Jin was abusive? Idk I just don't see it....I kinda just see it as teasing or something like that. Also you said the uke was gonna get crushed by Jin but Jin was the uke y'know? And a cute ass uke in my opinion (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Take a chill pill. I bet you consider holding hands abusive behavior too.
I actually sorta get where Jin is coming from. Going on a trip with your lover is all well and good, but going JUST for sex is sorta pointless, you can stay home or go to a closer hotel for that. Going on a trip means doing more than just sex. Jin wanted to spend time with him doing other things, too. Ya know, actually spending quality time with him. Going to those places, one of the main points -is- sex, though, yes. So what he said is both true. Or maybe it's just me.
Poor Masumi I just want to hug him and prominenta everything will be alright, poor porr thing <3 So sad and tragic, I'm all heartbroken! ╥﹏╥
