CaptchaMatcha's manga / #psychological(5)

The back story of the MC (light hair) is sad. He is a rape victim with neglectful parents. It delves into the reality of how young and vulnerable both MC and ML are and how they are still naive when it comes to relationships. The MC does not have an example of a healthy relationship around him, and doesn’t have any proper adult to rely on

Hmm. Everyone i these stories need psychiatric intervention

They really tried to romanticise rape here

They are both not related by blood but they are legally brothers (the younger is adopted). The Seme was adopted because he presented as a dominant Alpha, so he could replace the Uke who presented as a Beta.

Given then previous work of that J read I thought this was another cute fluffy school romance. Boy was I wrong. The MC and ML deserve all the love in world. The MC can’t help the circumstances he grew up in, the closest adult willing to take him in, prostituted him and became the MC’s pimp. Though we only see brief flashbacks of the MC’s abusive childhood, it’s enough to determine how the shitty adults around him failed him-and sadly this isn’t so far fetched because so many children go through this in real life.
