Ahh seriously. I feel bad for having just one scene ruin all the fluffy feelings I have for Neil. Jensen was just perfectly written and he snatched my heart... Anyway, I love the art hahaha. Reminds me Kang Daniel being Jensen and Park Jihoon being Neil. LOL. The story is also cool and I love Elle's role and how she handled Neil's love issues.

Sigh... the short story at the beginning was frustrating. They didnt even have a proper closure in the end. The main story was also frustrating. If the seme is all so awesome and capable, he’d know how to handle his senpai’s expulsion since he glared at that asshole of a teacher right? I’m just glad he compensated for the uke after meeting again. But then if the uke just wants to force himself into loving the seme for the sake of compensating as well then what was the point? Man, this BL gave me a head ache, but at the same time it entertained me whenever this rich kid tried to do everything for his senpai.

The storytelling needs work. Basically, Yoojin meets Seyeon at a convenience store and when he found out he was an actor who resembled the character on his favorite novel, he got hooked and became a fan of his. Then he meets him again as his sister's boyfriend. However, Seyeon misunderstands Yoojin and Yoona's relationship, then again with Yoojin and Seyeon's sister. This overly nosey and "does-what-he-wants" dog will be Yoojin's biggest headache to the point of losing the sparkles in his eyes whenever he sees Seyeon. Then again, this is Yoojin and Seyeon's love story.

Had the time of my life! I enjoy the consistency of the plot and how it circles back to where it started. The last translator is right, fiction that entails toxic relationship must be kept as is. There is nothing good from wishing to have the same. These two are broken and can only heal together. They are aware of their crimes against each other and the holes they must work on to fill. I enjoy the quiet panels because the artists are expressive with their characters. The ending was predictable but refreshing and satisfying. I enjoyed everything about this and how nonromanticized it is.

Yui had run away from a neighborhood nii-chan just before they had sex. Instead of fear, he grew up in regret for having run away. Thus, he goes back in search for his nii-chan. However, the gentle nii-chan has grown spiteful of him and was intent on making Yui keep his promise not to run away. The story unfolds to darker pasts and entangled human relations because nii-chan is just a broken man who trapped a boy to prove society that his juvenile love with an adult man was true.

I have mixed feelings about this and I got wordy about it at the topic list. I despise abuse when it is there simply for angst and I despise it more when the "victim" enabled his abuser to be worse than the first sign of abuse. It's not the story where I want the victim to be free, it's the type where I was happy when the abuser freed himself from his victim. Hate me but that is what I feel for THIS story, I don't care about the main couple at all.

The first isn't my thing since both of them are idiots and I felt like Ive been duped during Suzuki's introduction narrative. The second intrigued me so much, I retraced Hayashida's story and found my favorite redemption story.

Typical trope for bully becomes blackmailed but falls in love with each other. Im just bummed that Anezaki is spoiled from beginning to end.
