ALisAnimeLover's manga / #Rebound(2)

CW: Implied cousincest* *not directly stated that they are first cousins, just that seme's mom has the same surname as uke's dad. So, if you want to (forcibly) interpret it as non-cousincest, you may just interpret it as a pure coincidence, or that the mom's stepdad is the brother of the dad's dad, etc. Idk, idc, feel free to interpret it any way you want. Not like it's the focus of the story. The best and worst thing about this manga is that it's a one-shot. It only gives us what's currently happening, leaving both an open-ending and an open-beginning. Yet it gives a lot of information to shape the direction of the imagination of the readers. From the looks of it, the uke was sex friends with the seme from way before he met his wife, and the five-year gap of them not meeting with each other is the seme avoiding him because... Well, he got married. It makes me want to know more about their past (ooooh, I can imagine the angst. It'll probably be like Hana no Miyako De. Love that one.) and know how they will grow together from now on that the uke has finally accepted the seme back into his life. Though it's really unfair for the seme, because as things are, he's just a rebound guy after the uke got dumped by his wife. I'm a bit bummed that this is a one-shot and I won't ever get to see more than what's given, but it still left me a good feeling nonetheless.

Me in ch 1 page 31: Go ahead and cut his dick! Damn, he was heavily abused and raped by his own lover - yes, rape also exists between lovers. What really hit me was his line "I didn't know sex could feel this good." It was extremely heartbreaking to see him feel so bad about himself that he genuinely believed that he didn't deserve anything except an abusive relationship. On the other hand, it's heartwarming to see him finally standing up for himself and getting better. I also loooooove manager-san. Mother feels, ate (older sister) feels. It was so cute to see her cry when she was worried about the MC - partially because the accident was her fault, but more of because she loved him (not in a romantic way ofc). Ahhhhhh, I love her so much T_T If I had any problem with this manga, it's that their first time (mc and the good seme, not the ex) was done because the MC was heartbroken. It feels like a rebound relationship ngl. All's well that ends well though :))
