Celeste's manga / #drama(18)

This is the definition of "work of perfection". Tbh, at first I thought that this will be all fluff and laugher, so the drama actually caught me off guard. As a person confused about their sexuality, I understand and relate to our main characters. Of course, I do too sometimes feel like I'm different to other people, and the idea of rejection scares me so much, that I decided to deny myself. Our Uke wants to be and feel normal, our seme wants to be loved. Both of our main characters are longing for love and acceptance, they're yearning for validation. This is a beautiful and meaningful story. A realistic story where you can learn and understand many things regarding homosexuality. Little reminder: That "validation" doesn't automatically mean acceptance and approval from other people, it could be from ourselves. So even if you feel like you're being different, don't stop and just continue because as long as you have yourself, you wouldn't need anybody else. Always love and prioritize yourself <3

Started 21-23-09, Finished 22-08-05. A very long and sad journey.

[ Teacher x Nurse (Counselor/Teacher) Tbh, I don't have anything against him pounding and attacking Aoki sensei, but I do have an issue with him using Aoki's emotional trauma as his advantage. Well I'm happy everything changed, including him and his personality, and his views regarding love and relationship. (Still, what he did was wrong, and nothing can excuse that!)

[ Detective, Obsession, Revenge ] So it was all supposed to be a "revenge" plan, but he never succeeded because his infatuation became love and even worse it became obsession. He even became his stalker (lol) So the dad is actually gay, he's in love with his childhood friend but they didn't work so he hated the idea of homosexuality and became homophobic. Then he found out that his son is gay so he lost his shit and became the psychotic person he is? Understandable, have a great day.

So long story short, the older brother is in love with his younger brother, afraid that he would cause trouble he decided to leave the house. Hence the reason why they're emotionally apart from each-other. Our seme met our uke, his friend's older brother in his work. Things somehow escalated, they had a physical relationship and after sometime they realized that their feelings are mutual and they became lovers. (it has a sequel The older brother's own volume)

[ Traumatic past, Love at first sight, Trains ] - Both are tied up with their past, they found comfort and love with each other. It was love at first sight. (I wonder how things will change if the train didn't stop. If they did things differently in the past or if everything that happened in the past never happened at all. I can't say that I'm happy about their past, but I really am thankful because it brought them together.) -It was uncensored :)

[CW: RAPE, Attempted Rape, Sexual Assault] - another must read! It contains sensitive contents so beware. - I'm sad that he doesn't care about what Zen do to his body/him. But I'm sadder because he cares more about Zen more than himself. He wasn't sad because Zen did it aggressively, but rather because he felt no emotional connection with Zen. At the end, Zen found himself someone who he can call his Home! (Clearing some misconception, chapter 1 was(technically)not rape. Tomoe gave consent mid-way. Chapter 4 on the other hand is.)

[Short but quite emotional] Edit: Volume 2 is extreme. CW: Violence, Attempted Rape. The make up sex after the huge argument is */ tongue click noice!

[Flashbacks of their time together, and their present as well as their future together.] - he didn't go back in time. Everything is just him reminiscing the time they've spent together, memories he tried to forget. (It's a happy ending, relax!) - he's virgin mentally and physically lol. To him, going on dates, holding each other's hand, meeting each other's families comes first....even tho his peepee was inside his mouth just a moment ago.

[Rough ride, it was quite emotional as misunderstandings comes after another.] The development is really good and realistic. Both main characters are well and great, they look really good next to each other. Also, I love how he acknowledged his feelings towards him easily. He's always with women (attracted to them in that way and probably never saw men in the same manner) but when he felt the "want" to kiss him, he didn't hesitate to accept his feelings.
