Well he apologized for forgetting.... It's a medical cause though or maybe he apologized because he made the Uke feel insecure by being all happy about a new born which they'd never be able to conceive together?
Imagine a straight guy waking up from an accident where he lost his memory to tell him your lover is a man and congrats you're gay and will probably never have a family and never get married, it would be also a gamble. I think the Uke made the right decision to hide the truth from him
Honestly, even though I loved this manga, I agree with you. The kind of plot line where one character decides what's best for the other while disregarding the opinion and feelings of his partner, quite frankly irritate me. This one is one of the exceptions where I loved the manga but that part still bothered me. I think the reason I enjoyed it was because it was mixed with the amnesia plot line and the fact that we get the seme's POV instead of the uke's endless angsting. (●￣(ｴ)￣●)
However, these are both things that weren't in the seme's control. He can't help losing his memories and he shouldn't be punished for seeing someone's newborn? Is he supposed to avoid all babies? Be sullen and cold towards someone's child? He can't read minds, so if Sakai had insecurities, he should have talked it through with his partner so that he could assuage and reassure him about their relationship. He gave him a ring; something that represents a lifetime commitment and I'm sure he knew that they wouldn't be able to have children. It's his decision and Sakai should have respected his partner enough to know that his lover gave him that ring knowing what being in a same-sex relationship would entail.
I think that's one way to look at it, but Sakai shouldn't have made that decision for seme-san. He should have either given him time to adjust to his injury and then tell him or stay in his life and see how the seme would have felt towards him. He should have at least tried is what I'm trying to say and he should have respected his lover enough to allow him to make his own decision. Sakai took the easy way out, IMO.
Yes! It's a common trope in BL, and usually not one that bothers me (depending on how it's handled). I'm not usually the type to rant about realism etc. in BL, but I think it irked me so much this time around because the effort and contribution of this relationship was so one-sided from the get-go. Seme-san does all the chasing, loses his memories, and still has to make the grand gesture at the end. I usually enjoy a good amnesia plot, but this one didn't do it for me, unfortunately. Thanks for your thoughts!
Okay, guess I'll be the one to post the dissenting opinion because I think uke-san's actions throughout the manga were both cowardly and selfish. Sakai (uke's name, I think) wants seme-san (sorry I can't remember their names) to have a normal life, and he thinks he's doing the best thing for his lover by making this sacrifice, though he's letting his insecurities guide his decision. A relationship involves two people and you don't get to break up with someone without letting them have some say in the matter, and to do so when the other is at a significant disadvantage (the amnesia) is quite cold.
Seme-san can't help his amnesia (so why the heck did he need to apologize?) and had I been in his shoes I would have been furious with Sakai once I remembered. Seme-san spent the entire manga chasing after Sakai, putting himself out there for rejection, and Sakai couldn't be remotely brave enough to do the same for someone he loves. Sorry, but seme-san deserved better.
