Oh and to anyone who hates the Uke with the whole situation with the old man fwb: you’re dumb. They mutually agreed to be ONLY fwb. Y’all seem to forget that the old man was ALSO sleeping around with women and would talk about it. He clearly never confessed even to the end due to the Uke’s reaction of being confused. There should be no reason to blame the Uke for this part since they only ever slept together. The old man CHOSE never to confess for 6 years, put up a whole front of being chill with him sleeping with others and also being arrogant, and had the audacity to be mad at him for something they agreed on. Instead of finally confessing, he chose to be snappy with him saying “after you used us (other fwb) you get to be happy with your first love?” and then curse him out. Dude is a whole older man still acting childish. The Uke was under the impression of being fwb’s who used one another to satisfy their urges.
Lol at first I thought he meant he had an open relationship where both and his wife are able to sleep with the same gender if they want, and i thought it was fine. Until he told them to keep it a secret that he went to places like that, which made me think it wasn’t actually something the wife agreed on.
Surprised by the amount of hate this manga got. I think all the characters in this had flaws. Making one completely a villain is just being biased.
Seme: He made a dumb choice based on his dumb logic, rejecting the person he liked cause he was afraid he’d find out how he was jerking off to him. As if them being in a relationship wasn’t gonna make them end up doing that together anyway lmao. He then got jealous multiple times with the Uke being close to anyone, despite rejecting him. He did have messed up thoughts, wanting to make the Uke cry and beg to stop while doing it. He also continues to be friends with a dude who cheated on his wife. He continued to think of the Uke despite being in relationships over the years. Though of course, I obviously don’t think he should be blamed for the Uke ending up sleeping around- as no one should feel responsible for how other’s choose to live their life.
Uke: He chose to sleep around but I don’t think he blamed the Seme at all for it. Though he may be the reason why he may have started, but I genuinely think he was just trying to wait and move on from him over time, and just casually had his first experience with someone. Then he got into it and continued. It may have been a distraction to get his mind off him. He didn’t have any resentment towards the Seme as shown by his thoughts. He was just trying to play it indifferent to not be hurt again or just in case the Seme also only thought of it as fun. He can be bad in the way his moral compass may be off since he did it with a married dude. But most of the blame should be on the married guy. He also did imply blackmail to get the Seme to continue seeing him- though I think that was a minor bit that neither of them cared enough about. Since they both admitted they wanted to see each other by using that excuse.

Anyways I think they both were putting on a facade around each other. I believe the Uke was acting all chill cause he didn’t wanna risk being hurt again. It’s a reasonable worry. In the end, they both were honest with each other and got together.
