My dick is hard reading this chap. Wtfffff

I love yamashita tomoko's works to pieces. I doubted this manga at first, because the plot was a lot like the classic yaoi trope of "possessive and controlling seme abusing the uke's trust" with exorcism as replacement for the sexual scenes. I disliked hiyakawa at first and how he'd manipulate and use mikado without his consent, and i hated how mikado couldn't just leave hiyakawa.

But then i read on, and by the time i'm on volume 2 or so i realized that it's not about that AT ALL. Now that i've read 42 chapters, i understood that things weren't that black and white.

I understood why hiyakawa was like that towards mikado, and why mikado was unable to leave him alone. To begin with, the nature of those two's relationship wasn't something that could be easily categorized as toxic or non-toxic. It wasn't as simple as "that person had a shitty childhood so he became abusive" and "that one was lonely so he stayed with his abuser". It's something you need to read and think for yourself to be able to determine.

The reasoning behind each character's flaws is so well written. While it was apparent when a character did something bad, i also could understand how easy it was for them to make the wrong decisions given the situations they were in. And the more i read, the more i fell in love with the characters and the depth they have.

I'm reminded of when hiyakawa said that for him the movie "exorcist" was not a horror movie, but a profound study of human relationship. I feel like this manga is a lot like that.

All in all this is what i always want: a well written BL manga with a cool premise that focuses on the story rather than the character's sexuality.

The tweeter comment the yakuza got.. i dont know why but i feel bad for him. he only drew something like a seinen story (about two chivalry yakuzas) and someone commented on his page fangirling about Yakuza BL lol. Oh, the thing most of us do to non BL series; pairing up the male characters and start writing yaoi fanfics and fanarts.

but would people really do that? I mean, coming up to the author fangirling about their story being BL but in reality it's not supposed to be BL?? Dang it I won't even dare to go to the author of seinen titles and fangirling over their male characters like them being together like they're in love.
