kei_k's manga / #Cheating/Affair(15)

Just... I wish Taki wasn't used like that...

Regardless of gender, cheating is still cheating. I disliked the seme and uke for this, but I'm glad Yukari didn't cling to the uke . Most of the points of this manga is for Yukari.

Ch14 I like the realism. I get the MC's decisions. Cam't wait for more

I know... I read the comments and I already expected to hate it but I still went ahead to read it thinking that maybe the commenters just missed some things or what... I can more or less get what went in the seme's head as he cheated, but it doesn't excuse his behavior. Same with the uke. So he forgives his affairs because he's overwhelmed by the fact that despite being a straight playboy, the seme agreed to date him. That in itself as very rewarding for him because he can still somehow be with the seme... Well, thinking about it now, more than cheating/affair, it has actually come to a point where it is an open relationship, though only on the seme's side. This is because the uke is obviously aware of it and tolerates it. There are times when he thinks he wants to possess him exclusively but knows he can't actually do that so he just goes along. This way, I can view it as a forced open relationship. It's very easy to hate the seme in this case, but I won't tolerate the uke either. I had hopes for him when he finally decided to break up, though using another guy's feelings to be in a rebound relationship is sly, but when he ditched the new guy to come back to the seme because he saw him suffering, whoah. Okay, so that may look very romantic, saying, wow, even though he's with someone new, he just couldn't ignore the seme. He really does still have feelings for him. Well, duh. He tolerated a year worth of affairs clearly showing he's in love (trans: obsessed) with the seme. Ughhhh. Well, as for Gou, he was okay to me at first, but thinking about it more clearly, I don't particularly like him either.. What, talking bad about the uke's lover (even though it's true) and praising himself to make him look good to the uke, but when it comes to it, his feelings are very superficial. I also don't like it when a couple is in conflict and a "nice guy/girl" talks it out with one of them and low-key seducing them. Of course, the final decision to be seduced is still up to that person, but it's just annoying how they're seen as nice people when they're actually manipulating as well. Ahh, so at first I wanted to give it a 1 "I don't like it" star, but decided to settle with 2 "It's ok" star. My actual rating is perhaps 1.5 stars. Of course, I don't like how the characters were depicted and how the story went, but I kind of picked up some things and it made me think so I'll give it a credit. Besides, after reading Colleen Hoover's "It Ends with Us," I simply want to understand the abused/submissive party deeper.

ch6 ---- The last chapter.. Okay, I know that the priest was already a player even before they got together and Haruna knew it, too. But the moment they agreed to be in a bf-bf relationship, it's pretty much established that he shouldn't do it with other people anymore. I would've tolerated it more, if like the friend said, it's not like they're in a relationship, because if they were, he wouldn't have cheated or something like that. When I read that, I thought, "Oh, so they were more like sex friends, not boyfriends..." But she followed up about them breaking up, and when Haruna frist came, she mentioned the priest having a mistress, so I guess it's very well implied that they were boyfriends... I guess it's hard for me to accept him more because we didn't really see how he was remorseful or regretful. The most we saw washim looking for Haruna in his priest attire, despite not liking it because it stands out too much. The friend even commended him like it was a huge deal to do that, showing that he's really serious about Haruna. Like, okay, that's B for effort, but what about your sin? Do we just brush it under the rug just because you're doing something you usually don't now? Ugh... Really. It serves him right to be paranoid about being cheated on, since he was able to do it.. What I didn't like was how he just accused Haruna of infidelity right away. Did he think everyone was like him? >_<

Liked the 1st. Wasn't satisfied with the 2nd. I think if the chapters were longer, I would've accepted his "sweet declaration" in the end. After all, it's a start that he refused to kiss Mibu after Minato professed his love... I also liked that he confronted Minato immediately when Minato was being tolerant of his flashy behavior. It's easy to think that he'd probably cheat on Minato, too, because even when he was with his ex-gf, he easily went after Minato out of curiosity.. So, you know, it's logical to think that when someone "interesting" catches his eyes, he'd most likely cheat again. So yeah, I really appreciated that confrontation because it showed how he wanted to seriously take on their relationship. It somehow eased my irritation of that scene when he nonchalantly kissed his gf after sleeping with Minato. Well, it's not like he's the only one to blame because Minato knew (and saw) that the seme has a gf yet he still went along his whims. It's just really a disrespectful scene. It's nice that Minato immediately took the courage to confess, but it was too easy.. Meh, well, to each his own. If he's happy and content with that, then who am I to oppose? Hmph!

ch28

Couple#1: Seme is a serial cheater because he's too lonely to refuse women's advances.. Until one girl went the extra mile to brainwash him and convince him that marrying her will make him stop being lonely and that it gave him a sense of security.. So they go to the uke suggesting the breakup.. The uke couldn't really accept it because he tolerated and forgave all the time the seme cheated.. But this time, the seme didn't really cling to him anymore. Moreover, the woman persistently threatened and blackmailed him into avoiding the seme and leaving them alone. The seme finally seeks the uke asking him not to leave him and to forgive him, but this time, the uke didn't budge.. And so, the seme took the matter in his own hands and raped the uke before trying to kill him, claiming if he won't be his, he can't belong to someone else. Yeah.. Typical yandere.. I would've appreciated his yandere character if he never cheated and was totally devoted to the uke (I know, I'm a bit weird), but he wasn't anywhere faithful so I truly disliked him. Couple#2 : Kinda typical story but being put after the annoying first couple, it's somewhat refreshing or satisfying in this matter. lol. Nothing really special. Typical having a crush on someone and offering a one night stand thinking it'd end there, but your crush recognizes you in your regular form and boom! haha Couple#3: I would've liked it more if it weren't for the serial cheating, too. Haaah. What's with these people anyway, making me lose more faith in love. . . --- 07/10/17

If I had a bf and he did what Minase did, I wouldn't have forgiven him so easily... Espwcially because it's not like I know him enough or shared lots of good times with him to look past it. It would've been a different story if I know how deep our relationship is already. But if it's like that, I would've just held on to that incident and get over him. I wouldn't want to chase after a guy who could care less about us. Even with the dad's past.. Ahh Chiho must've loved him a lot to forgive that. Urk. I'm just too sensitive with cases like this. I just want an exclusively monogamous relationship..
