Switch?!
What are you talking about, no they didn't( ̄∇ ̄")
Oh god no.
read carefully, they actually did consider it. yoshimi was about to bottom before riku's uke spirit kicked in and he sat on yoshimi's cock instead of entering him.
...I think you should be the one reading carefully and observing the art properly, when Yoshimi said "Top" He was referring if Riku wanted to RIDE him.
Riku misunderstanding things panicked so Yoshimi gave him INSTRUCTIONS since he thought Riku was doing it wrongly (Even though in Riku's mind it wasn't even going the way Yoshimi thought) and then noticing the gap between Yoshimi's rear and the floor, I could conclude he intentionally inserted it. If Riku sat on it, then that gap wouldn't be there, his hands were even placed in Riku's hips....I'm not being offensive or trying to act Sherlock, I just stated it base on my observation towards its minor details that people tends to overlook.

Oh, I do respect your perspective!
But I just can't see it since the author isn't
fond of versatile base on my understanding. (▰˘◡˘▰)
She's one of those tops-only-tops and bottoms-only-bottoms
type of authors which is great for me. ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ノ~
I'm amused on how you end your sentences with those terms,(≧∀≦)
but I think the author is into Dominant Semes, very even.
She did mention tons of times that Yoshimi is very dominant,
and whenever Riku hinted he wants to top he usually
avoid those conflicts by doing sexual things to him that would
leave Riku teary and defenseless to top on. True, people change experiencing growth in their art. But, honest be told. Something just wont change to a person whatever you'll do, and I think that's hers. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I can base it in my experience, I used to like popular cute ukes but now...ohh hell noo~ (▰˘◡˘▰) but don't mind me though, we all have our own opinions. No one's perfect...except Beyonce (≧∀≦)
that's your opinion. but in my opinion there's ALWAYS room for change, regardless of what has been stated before. it's very unrealistic to have strict bottoms and strict tops in a gay relationship, gay couples switch all the time. it's very narrowminded the way yaoi had portrayed male-female roles through seme-uke, and when an author hints at switching, i get excited, and i get very happy because it portrays and adds depth to that relationship as it is now more realistic. i realize it's a work of fiction in the end, but it's still very exciting that sensei decided to in my opinion hint that they considered switching. my opinion won't change regardless of what you tell me, or how much you try to convince me of your opinion that sensei only has one dimensional set-roled charas, but like i said before i respect your opinion. you don't have to think like me, just respect mine too. that's it.
Yeah, I guess you're right.(≧∀≦)
I think the problem between the two of us is the fact you're okay with versatile, while I'm not. To be honest I'm not a girl, I'm actually a guy. And I'm gender-fluid. But, truth be told I'm strictly dominant. And I'm not fond of the idea about being versatile, people like me who stick on one position in the gay community do exist. There's just more bottoms than tops. But knowing the fact two bottoms doesn't make a top turns them to switch roles every now and then. Besides, I'm not trying to CHANGE your own perspective. I'm just giving out my opinion that's all. If you think I am, I'm very sorry! Not really my intention.(▰˘◡˘▰)
But like, right before they started doing foreplay they talked about Riku wanting to top Yoshimi and how he didn't want to be made fun out of because of it, and Yoshimi said he was embarrassed. And are you trying to say Yoshimi let Riku literally rim him if he had meant he wanted him to just ride him? Lolol. I think it just ended up like that because Riku became a bit too nervous and panicky so it was just easier to do it like normal for now.
So I also saw this as a potential switch. And there are some authors who normally just do strict bottoms and tops but still make exceptions.
that they both considered switching! and that yoshimi was cool with that! Also even though I don't like how their relationship started out (with rape and violence), but as the story progresses you can see the author had become more soft in her delivery like a real relationship and much more depth to their relationship! I love madarame hiro sensei's works, but i usually always don't like how they start out hahaha, that's why i push through the first few chapters because i know it will get so good.
