Anoni Grrl this manga is so sad, I have read crazy stuff but this is too much. This mangaka ,it may seem weird, but she is highly realistic in her depictions. Momo's life, the way he acts, the way he is described ,his boyfriends who treat him like an object, his friend who doesn't care....it's just the life of a prostitute.A guy who is illiterate, who was abused all his life, who was picked up by a stranger is doomed . When I saw documentaries about child abuse they all had no hopes,like Momo who called Yata a stranger. This makes me believe that harada won't give him a happy ending. There was a sudomomo if I recall it right, now yatamomo, what is next? Yata has a family, they seem to be wealthy, will there be place for momo? I don't think so, he is cute, but yata doesn't seem to consider him nothing more than a cute boy,plus he is younger than momo so he just wants to have fun. Ugh, plus all the people justifying the mother are driving me crazy lol
I believe he'll get a "Yaoi logic" happy ending--that is, he'll forgive the abuser (even though she isn't really sorry, doesn't see she is wrong, and still isn't doing jack for him) and I think we'll see him with Yata. Yata won't be any better than he is, but no worse (and The Seme is Always Right). And I'll be mostly happy because we'll see Momo as being happier--and I really want to see that. I could be wrong, though.
I haven't read any previous work from this mangaka, but this manga has a sad atmosphere,I mean every momo's smile is fake,everytime he sleeps with Yata he hates how he is treated but does nothing cuz he doesn't want to be without him......or I am just reading too much into this. Who knows, but hopefully there won't be another guymomo cuz it would be too much.
BTW am I the only one who is pissed at yata and kuri? The first time yata met that woman he said to momo that he started the fight(I mean did you hear that she would sell him?!), now they talk to her, understand that she has no guilt and bring a recorded tape where she says that she never liked him but pretended at first. I mean, that's not how you protect those that you love.
