Oh wow...this is the review you get from someone without critical thinking skills
He was possessive of his dad and got turned on by listening to his dad have sex....the girl made him feel dirty, therefore he developed mysophobia
There are other things too but the plot is there
and by plot you mean sex scenes with dubious consent??..literally if you removed the sex scenes from the story there would barely be any development made and that includes in the actual relationship. i saw enough comments talking about the weird possessiveness shirotani has with his father to see that it isn’t just a me thing, multiple people found those scenes uncomfortable and everything point to shirotani having feelings for his father..the line between familiar and romantic feelings is not clear enough. same with kurose and the author..kurose was literally a child when he tried to throw himself at the author. weird how we already have two instances where children are being put in sexual situations involving adults.
also the plot does such a bad portrayal of misophobia to the point where kurose fetishizes shirotanis mental struggles CONSTANTLY. if there’s someone without critical thinking skills here is you.

yeah like I don't think he felt that way about his father he just had a close relationship with him; and he only got turned on because he was listening to people have sex not necessarily bc it was his dad???
i’m not saying he felt that way about his father, i’m saying it’s weird how possessive he was over his father..also the whole having children involved in weird
i’m not saying he felt that way about his father, i’m saying it’s weird how possessive he was over his father..also the whole having children involved in sexual scenarios with adults was very weird to me
no yeah I agree with you there
i remember when i first read this i absolutely loved it and was hooked and coming back to finish reading it, i was kinda disappointed but also nostalgia kept me going.
this manga reminds me of pretty much everything i hate about yaoi manga. the borderline non consensual acts, the non stop sex and the little amount of actual plot.
there was also THOSE weird backstory scenes where both of main characters had a weird infatuation with adults..not to mention shirotanis was with his dad..and they did not make that line between family love and incest clear enough for me to differentiate if he had a crush on his father or he was just possessive of him.
i gave it 3 stars (my actual rating is 2 and 1/2. i wish i could give half stars on here) due to how i critique older yaoi. while i try to avoid older yaoi due to the horrible tropes, sometimes i will indulge in them to see if i can find any hidden gems. what ended up as a reread opened a lot of questions for my younger self like why did i like this.
i tried to indulge in this one...i tried so hard to like it but there were so many things that rubbed me the wrong way.
with better writing, this story had ALOT of potential like if kurose tried to resign to being shirotani’s therapist because he was beginning to have feelings for him and shirotani became confused. again, this story had so much potential and it been wasted on something that feels like fetish porn for germaphobes.
