NI-KA-CHUUUUUUUUUU's manga / #detective(12)

No emotional attachment to couple whatsoever (which is why it took me so long to reread this!)

Both unrequited. Both love triangles. 1st story: ugggh it was totes going somewhere and then they had to get all sweet and shit and the seme just all of sudden says he has feelings for the uke/seke... 2nd: didn't end happily and I love it!

3.5 well fuck. At least let me know whether or not the fucking seme even loved the uke.

3.75 This is kinda lame. I like that the seme is cold but passionate and the uke pretty tsundere but... idk. The sex is hot doe. The extra= fucking golden.

Boring as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

4.5 Holy fuck that was an emotional roller-coaster. It was angsty and messy and painfully realistic. This is first yaoi I've read where love seems to be portrayed how it would mostly likely be in the real world (Through I wouldn't actually know from experience). Everything about this is just so raw and real: Sexually, they are portrayed as REAL men; not the fantasy seme-uke role but actually have a legit gay relationship. They don't go through the generic "forbidden love" problems but real the relationship struggles that any couple would undergo, but more so because it's between a straight and a gay man. They both constantly contradict what they want and even acknowledge they aren't good together. But love isn't just pure and happiness, but is actually more complex and selfish, and their love is just that. They're two misfits who struggle with the definition of love and realize that it's what they have. I also really liked the role of the girlfriend. She epitomizes everything the straight guy believes love should be like, as well as his life as a straight man. She's not an instrument used to create excessive problems between the couple, but rather someone who creates psychological conflict for the straight guy. She was so real and was an actual human being who had some struggles but just ultimately fell in love with the straight guy. A million times better than the prequel. A different reread.

Cliche bully seme and masochistic obedient uke. Typical of this mangaka. Would still reread doe.

4.5 UGHHHHH YESSSSSSS. FUCKING MORE. UKE IS BAE.

Aw this is adorable and romantic as hell.
