God I have so many things to say about this one..for starters, damn that was fucking good shit. It’s been a while since I’ve read a really good one. I wasn’t expecting much because I don’t really like manga revolving around the subject of porn but it blew me away! It went from stupid porn industry smut, to smutty relationship, but after the break up is when it started getting real and good. The aftermath of the exposure and breakup, to getting fired and the emotions he felt towards his ex lover, selling himself and getting raped, that was all too fucking real. The emotion was amazing! I will definitely reread this manga. I heard that it’s ending soon which is disappointing but they did a good job with the emotion. Couple of small criticisms tho. First, I think they could have dragged out more porn scenes (by that I mean make more before the mc and McQueen got together) since I don’t really find this to be a romance, tho there are some romantic elements it’s mainly just lots of uncensored fucking. Also, if they were so invested in their relationship wouldn’t the normal thing to do is offer to stay at his place? At least until he finds another place to stay since he’s so rich and all. Another thing about his money, McQueen was so transparent about his past so the normal thing would be for the mc to talk about his sad past and debt and McQueen asked about it (which looked like it at the beach scene but it cut off and later we find out that McQueen knows nothing about his past) that really frustrates me because if they were as serious as the manga portrays them to be, McQueen would have offered to pay off his debt, at least some. And for goodness sake, the mc acquired more than $50,000 dollars, how much more debt does he need to pay off for a simple hospital bill of a shattered ankle surgery?!?!? Unrealistic. They are this far into the relationship and he still hasn’t told McQueen about Liu, the debt, and the rape later?!? I also feel like they could have prolonged the relationship and the inner turmoil the mc and McQueen were feeling toward eachother, prolonged the breakup, prolonged the getting back on his feet, prolonged hinting Liu’s Secret feeling toward the mc, prolonged the getting back together aftermath since I have a feeling it’s going to end soon because I would have liked seeing McQueen suggesting the mc to audition and get a leading role and all that in between, basically I just with there was more emphasis, hints, on everything and I just want this to be longer because it has so much potential. I feel like it went by so fast and if it wasn’t for the breakup, the exposure, the emotions, and the rape I feel like this would have been an underaverage read. One last thing, is McQueen seriously not gonna find out the mc got raped by Liu? I liked the scene but I want to see some serious ass whopping, what he did was still wrong even if it’s hot in this fictional world.
