Murdock's manga / #Yaoi(50)

There’s a lot of rape, I wish I had known this before reading. The seme rapes the uke and few times, and then the uke is blackmailed by someone else and is raped by them too.

Very intense rape and assault. The seme is in love with the uke and blackmails him into doing sexual acts and then when uke decides he doesn’t care if his secret gets out the seme graphically rapes him. The uke is actually a little traumatized from it, and there are scenes where he’s frozen from the fear. It made me sick to my stomach and I wish people talked about the more. If blackmail and rape is not something you can watch spare yourself the read.

Surprisingly is very cute. SPOILERS! The seme who is a porn actor finds an old classmate Hiroto passed out in the dumpster. Hiroto recently had his heart broken after finding out his boyfriend wasn’t actually in love with him and just wanted his body. Seme comes onto him and Hiroto has given up so he’s fine with it. The seme then falls in love with Hiroto and confesses and Hiroto is having trouble believing him, but they both fall in love and the seme leaves the industry because he’s dedicated to Hiroto. There’s a good amount of communication and both of genuinely in love. While seme doesn’t start off the as the best person ever he learns and grows and Hiroto opens up as well. It’s a good read!

It’s surprisingly heavy and a little dark. Akari is the main character and after his two straight friends got together he went to a gay bar to try to find someone. One of the bartenders told him to leave and he ended up staying the night at his house. Akari has a pretty rough life after being outed as gay in middle school, and you don’t see his family but you know he isn’t treated nicely and is neglected by them. Akari has intense confidence issues which is why there’s a lot of miscommunication between them. Overall it’s still really good, Akari is a well written character and I actually really like him.

Rare miss for the author, which is a shame because the characters are compelling and it has fine world building, but the problem is in the beginning. Uke who is a 9 tailed fox is regarded as a freak and a monster, and is sent to kill one of the leaders of the wolf tribe by pretending to be his bride. Wolf sees right through it and uke tries to run but gets captured and gets brutally raped. After this uke is hoping to be killed and seme’s personality gets a complete turn around. He’s interested in the uke and is trying to keep him alive and happy, despite how horribly he was treated in the beginning. Of course they fall in love and get a happy ending despite the prejudice of the tribe, but overall I didn’t like it. It wasn’t even like the ‘normal’ yaoi rape where the uke’s body responds despite not liking it, it is a completely one sided, violent attack and it leaves uke needing to be under medical care. I would skip.

It was pretty solid up until that ‘incident’. It’s a story about a love story first sight, they’re pretty cute but the seme is very anxious and possessive, to the point where he uke being with friends upsets him. They start of strong and then their relationship starts the spiral a bit until the seme loses it and strangles the uke to the point where he’s about the pass out. Then the seme avoids him because he feels bad and the uke tracks him down. After that they got back together and lived happily ever after. Personally I don’t think that’s something a relationship can come back from. I also hate the the uke is the one that has to find him, the seme should just apologize and take responsibility. I would’ve liked it better if they moved on from each other cause it was clearly toxic and violent. If you can look past that then the story is pretty solid, but it’s not something I can get over.

Please know that there is blackmail and rape in this story. The seme was bullied for his weight and after high school he came into his element. He reencountered someone who he remembers not treating him well and they end up in a friends with benefit relationship. It’s revealed the uke always loved him, but was blackmailed and raped all throughout high school. It’s very sickening. It left a pit in my stomach and it makes me want to cry for him. The main couple themselves are cute and nice, but I feel sick whenever I read it

I do think the ending could have a little more resolution, but I really like the story. The art is absolutely gorgeous, and all the characters are likable

Truly is adorable. Both characters are very likable, and the seme is very cute and understanding. The Uke is the mature one in the relationship because he is older than him and you rarely see that in a lot of cute older uke archetypes. Really recommend, very wholesome

It’s very cute. You rarely see manga with switch couples, but they really do switch a lot. Both characters are really well developed and likable. Really recommend.
