I freaking love this manga and while I did like the route they went with to make Hachidori jealous, it needs to be MORE. He needs to suffer a little bit more. The way he reacted was satisfying in a sense where you could tell he was bothered by Hinata taking an interest in Wataru. However, i feel like none of them really CARE about Wataru himself rather than owning him. Hachidori really needs to prove himself to Wataru, more than just getting jealous and freaking out a little.
Yeah. And it was a biiter pill when it turned out Hacchi was his real employer. That needs to cease being the case, right now. Their relationship is already unequal on so many levels (age, sexual experience, sexual identity awareness and self-confidence etc etc) so if the work thing keeps as it is (IRC, the unkempt boss guy didn't accept his resignation) it's gonna make that relationship look even more screwed up than it already does... Get another darn job, kiddo! (And you, seme... lay off the controlling already!)
I have literally read this one 10 times and bought the manga too. I love EVERYTHING about this manga. The characters are interesting and I love their dynamic. I love the author’s use of nonverbal cues to show us what the characters are thinking (ex: when they have sex the 2nd time and Rin thinks back to those nights with Nozomu was ignoring him and how much he missed him), and URG don’t get me STARTED on the metaphorical placements of their futons. How, in the beginning, there was a sizable space between their beds and when they start having sex regularly, their beds move together but their surroundings are very messy. Then when Rin gets a gf, Nozomu’s bed is rolled up, signifying his departure. I- I JUST CAN’T i just really love this and ok my rant is done
One of the things that I find interesting about this manga and what sets it aside from Sensei’s other works is the art style. It’s technically the same as the other ones but the way this one is displayed gives off a sense of uneasiness and tension. I think its the lack of facial expression, the tenseness in the eyes and body language, her use of negative space within the panels. Like that one where he’s pouring coffee. It’s eerie af. Idk it just makes us and the mc feel like something isn’t right with him and that he’s hiding something.
