This one hurt to read. It's one of my first's and the manipulation and love is heartbreaking. Update: I finally get to read more and it was painful the whole way through. I think it's an incredible characterization of three different people and how their stories intertwine. Is Shinitani's love real? He seemingly is the only one who actually understands what love should be yet fails to fight his feelings for both men despite what they do. Face it, every single character has done something bad, not one of them is innocent. Sudo is seemingly the biggest criminal and offender, but he never once covered up, he was honest about his bad character. And the author reveals his past to show us just how pitiful he is which only further draws Shinitani. Haruma the clear favorite, a dumb loveable puppy to a fault. But he is responsible for endangering Shinitani and his fam in the first place. We see him change and grow with the gentleness and kindness of Shinitani and just wants to be loved. It's clear he will thrive in a good environment. He honestly would be better off with someone else, but will other be able to look beyond his past and give him a chance? Does he have the strength? I think that Shinitani loses himself to Sudo because he accepts him as is, ugly and all. And despite the clear hurt that Sudo has continuously put him through he wants to help and be with him... There seems to be a consensus that Shinitani is the worst of all, but I'm not so sure. He was brought into this mess because of Haruma and dived deeper into it for him. Honestly their "romantic" relationship was a horrible start right from the beginning. He does hide his twisted, thrill seeking side well, but I don't think he is bad. It's like he is too kind which is what got him involved in all this in the first place. His kink is what it is... but both Haruma and Sudo accept him. ( Mainly bc no one else has treated them well before.) This story is so complicated and really makes me think and continue reading to see what happens. And to me that's what makes a good story. I wonder if this will end up as poly thing? Or everyone will split up or will they die? Can't wait to see what happens. Thanks so much for updating this title, I've been waiting for years.

So far I really like this. It's not often you get to see the weak character grow that much when they have a protector. It's really refreshing to see him overcome his problems and become strong and now able to help his protector. Though I would have loved to see them reunite when he had his own body.

About a boy coming to terms with being gay and finding acceptance. Goes into those darker themes full of doubt and angst and beyond. It follows multiple characters in relationships and how they made a place for themselves.

You see how how was with his old lover and what caused his change and led to abuse.

Holy shit, that was fucked up. It breaks you in pieces and spits you out. This is a dark heavy psychological drama about a man repeatedly raped by his new stepbrother until it breaks him and there's almost nothing left. He almost had a chance to make it out but that was destroyed. The continual assault results in consuming hate, anger, self loathing and disgust that has turned him numb and self destructive. A tale of an abuse victims psyche. Like this was not what I was expecting and it's so fucking sad and upsetting but it is a good story. That art is good and the drama is unfolding in a very scary way. Please save Haruki, anyone.

Abusive af just a sadistic rapist. Not for me, didn't finish, skimmed. But seriously scary relationship.

Very off brand

Huh...that was interesting and dark.
