Pretty good story despite what others comments are saying.

Ummm... I'm sorry for this but... where did you left your brain???

Cheating... Seme is "dating" a girl... to that girl, they are a couple. And he's sleeping with uke behind her back. By your definition, that's absolutely cheating.

And the 'subject' fully treated lightly? Comedy? I'm pretty sure the tag up there is "DRAMA", but instead of drama, they made it "funny"?

And if you don't understand why everyone's hackles are up, doesn't that mean you only understand a small part of the story? What a poor delivery.

And yes, seme might be slow, he's described as an airhead (as you pointed out), but that's the thing, he's unknowingly hurting people... not just the uke (which is shown jokingly) but the girls he's been dating, especially that panel where they were dating and the girl saw a wedding event thing, she was thinking bout them together getting married all happy and the seme's thinking bout ass and cross-dressing,

isn't that cute?...

He's technically a fricking Casanova who has a gay man as a side dish.
And uke's all, "Oh, whatever, I like him, so he can trample me all he wants. As long as those hoes don't steal him from me, we all good and happy." Humiliation kink much...

Still don't understand why almost everyone hates the story?

Obviously I didn't loose my brain, it's still well-working in my head. But since yours seems to be already dead, I'll not hold it against you.

1) I was speaking about the main characters, so the uke and the seme. I thought it was pretty clear since evrybody in the comment section is always only talking about the main couple but apparently it wasn't for you?
(So no, it's not cheating ;D)

2) Oh sorry, I haven't read the tags, but I did read the manga. Apparently, you did the opposite, you read the tags but didn't read the manga.
If you had read the manga, you would have seen the various comical panels with character drawn as chibis (and let me inform you that chibis are never used for tragic moments). You would also have detetected that there isn't any depressing atmosphere so yes, the manga IS light.
If you need references because you have never read a tragic yaoi, I may suggest you some of them, and then you can fully compare by yourself:
Circle ; Dakedo Ashita no Hanashi o Shiyou ; Itou-san ; Hate mate ; Ibitsu no Kakera ; Kowagaranai de, Soba ni Ite ; 10 years where I loved you the most
I'm not a fan of drama at all, so let me tell you that I know how to reconize what is drama and what is not.
Maybe you have done what most of the readers have done, which is construe the manga into what you think about its subject. While this manga is comic, your opinion on this topic is that it isn't funny, it has to be serious so you'll not even read the manga the way it is but how you want it to be.

3) That point will be my conclusion, so I'll answer you at the end of this reply.

4) I don't even know what you want to discuss about.... You're just... Saying exactly the same things I wrote in my review? So, yes of course? You totally agree with me, I totally agree with you, isn't that great? As I said, and then you repeated, he's undeniably hurting his relatives, but he's an idiot, he doesn't mean to hurt anybody, he doesn't realize. I think everyone in the real world already had unintentionally hurt someone once.
And the end of this point on your reply shows what I wrote above: you just understood this yaoi the way you wanted it to be.

Then, I will finalize: No, I still don't understand why a reader who read this manga the way it is should think it's such a bad manga, when by comparison some people are like "yeah, rap in yaoi is so great~~"

However, you indeed proved something: you haven't understood anything. Clearly, you haven't understood many points on what I was talking about, while, without pretension, I think it was very obvious. So I think you did the same with this manga and just didn't understand it at all?
I suggest you to read it again (or maybe to read it for the fist time in your life?), maybe this time the way the mangaka drawn it.


Also, I'm sorry if my answer may be aggressive, but it's what I wanted. I'm someone who loves debate, and I think a debate is an exchange of opinion and can be done calmly, respectfully and happily. However, I think you were a little bit disrespectful in your answer so, well, I can also be rude.

Your comment was the reason why I end up reading this manga I did not expect the ending. I expected it to be sad like all the other bl manga Similar to this one. But it end happy I did not expect that from all the comment I had read other than your that made it out that it end sadly for the uke and how evil the seme was. I can't agree with you much that the seme was just an airhead or just slow. But the ending was a nice turn on such a sad bl genre that you wouldn't normally get when reading manga like similar to this one (⌒▽⌒)

On point. I absolutely agree.

I'm happy that my comment was the reason you read this yaoi :D
We sometimes have to go read the manga ourself to have the right idea 'cause in thecomment section, people only give their opinion so well, it's always nice to find out that something we thought it will be horrific turn out to be quite nice.
We can't agree on everything, but I'm glad the ending satisfied you. n___n

Then I invite you to read my answer

I've had my turn. And I still agree with him/her ^^ Thank you.

I went back to reread this manga and yeah, the seme is just an empty-headed guy. He doesn't cheat on his girlfriend out of malice - for him it is natural to put his friend first, but because he considers him a friend, he doesn't even think of the possibility of b becoming a couple. You can actually see how slow his thinking process is when the other guy appears. I didn't notice it the first time I read it and last night I was like "Wow, if there ever was a picture under thick skull, it should be one of this guy." I kinda feel sorry for the uke more than I feel happy for him, but the uke seemed to be okay with the outcome and the way they got there, so eh. It's not as bad as to be in the rating of 7.

It's really just a problem of uke's self-love/self-esteem... which would make this story seem like its glorifying being a mistress.

Also, the way you said that whole sentence, and this part "...for him, it is natural to put his friend first..."

Given that statement, then the Seme has a serious lack of common sense reminiscent of being mentally ill. If he is, mentally ill, and the uke has a very low self-esteem due to circumstances, then the whole story would make sense.

I'm not sure if "mentally ill" is the term, but I'm willing to bet that both his IQ and EQ are really low. There is even an element of child-like innocence in an adult's body, which is... slightly disturbing the more I think about it.

And yeah, I think sometimes BL artists and authors throw women under the bus with the whole being a mistress thing because they think we won't mind as long as the main couple gets or stays together as intended.

You spoke my mind.

I was going to use autism but I thought they have more sense than the seme (I really don't like the seme don't I?). This observation though is not out of hate, but I just thought it's reminiscent... As you said, his mentality has a child-like innocence, and I did pick up on that the very first time when he and his girlfriend was dating, that's why given his lack of common sense and undeveloped emotional maturity, I thought he might be suffering some mental illness connected to autism, or maybe caused by the environment, which slowed his mental and emotional growth... But I didn't want to admit that coz like... the seme's actions are way too much for a portrayal of mental illness. (I might be over analyzing and using serious subjects to explain the story, but as I learned after reading a lot of stories, also trying my hand on being a writer, making a character for a story, even a short one, has a lot of factors and backgrounds. Some are mentioned in the story, while some are just in the head of the authors.)

True!!! TBH, I'm gay myself and I just really don't like any form of cheating in a story, gay or straight. It won't stop me from reading IF the story's good, but it's a big nope for me. Though I could probably count on one hand the stories I finished reading that has cheating...

Very funny to see how you didn't answer my precedent reply, but if you have the occasion to spit out at this manga, even if it's irrational (it must be, since you don't have any argument?), then you do.


Well, I will let it pass and not hold it against you, and just answer you again.

I will not only indicate that to you, but to everyone who read that comment: please, really, don't speak about autism at the drop of the hat. Autism is the new popular disease. If someone is a little bit different from others, then we say "ah, they should be an autistic." It's so exasperating. People are so pretentious, talking like they already have their psychology certificate when they know absolutely nothing about psychology. There are more than 200 mental illness, but for the population, it only can be autism, schizophrenia or bipolar disorder since they only know that.
To prove my point, you perfectly illustrated what I just say:
- Autism isn't a mental illness. It's a developmental disorder. Even if you chose not to opt for autism when you spoke about mental illness, you still thought that the seme is mentally ill. That shows that you don't know what a mental disease is, and you can't differentiate that from just a syndrome which is less important.
- Talking about syndrome, if you had just a little bit of knowledge about autism, you call have say "the seme has Asperger syndrome" (which is not a mental illness) and not "he is autistic". It's not the same thing. The seme is definitely not an autistic, but you may think, from what we have seen, that he has Asperger syndrome. But also from what we could have seen, what is seven chapters and a unique situation, it's not enough at all.
- And the worst, it's that you're using autism as an insult to put the seme down. "I was going to use autism but I thought they have more sense than the seme", how can you dare say that? For one and for all, that the proof that you know nothing about autism. "they have more sense..." Hum. Not having sense isn't a trouble of autism, sorry.

Then, to answer to the other comments than yours: His behavior doesn't mean his IQ is very low. He apparently don't understand how social interactions work, that doesn't mean he's an idiot, like, at all. Many very intelligent people have troubles with social interaction. Well, it may be true that he may have a low EQ, but still, that doesn't make him an emotionless idiot. People with low EQ still have emotion.
(But yeah, I agree, he totally looks like a child in an adult body, even though I think his way of thinking isn't totally similar to a kid's one)

However I agree with your preceed of analysing a story, even if it's just a (short) story, it's still good to search far away than what is just explain in the book, if the reader want to really understand what they just read. That's why, in my opinion, author have to be vigilant on the logical of what they create.
That's why I also agree that a story isn't satisfactory just because the main couple end up together. There are so many yaoi, for example, where the protagonist is being rapped by X just for the seme to comfort him afterwards! Wtf, how so serious events can be washed away so simply?
Of course, I'm not talking about this kind of event if they are applied seriously to the scenario and not just for the fluff's sake. Like in this manga since it's the main subject.

Furthermore, I will repeat myself on that point: If you don't like the topic of the story, it's not the story's fault, it's your own for reading it. So please don't complain because it pissed off other readers to see you to cast aspersions based on your own feeling and not on logical. If I don't like sport manga, I'll not read Haikyuu and then complain on the internet saying "It's so a pain in the ass, it's only voleyball, I hate voleyball!"

(Beside, what you being gay has a link with you no liking "cheating" in stories?)

I decided that talking to you is useless. I still stand by my first comment/question, "Where did you left your brain?". Your comprehension level is really questionable.

In fact, that question in the parentheses gives a perfect support as to why I question your level of maturity and your understanding.

My reply was to a girl who was talking about authors throwing girls out of the way for the sake of the story's protagonist's happy ending. I supported my claim of not supporting this and not liking cheating in stories by not so subtly saying that regardless of gender stuff like that is not ok. Got it? I thought I made that waay too obvious. You didn't get that so you questioned it, that's why your understanding is highly questionable.

It's useless to talk to someone who wouldn't understand. You still wanna continue arguing?

Oh, I see, so you just mistook and answered to my comment instead of that girl's? You just had to say so!
It's sarcasm, I prefer to reveal it even though normal people are able to understand that, I'm afraid that you may not, since you misapprehend my two last comments.

To be serious, I truly question myself when I read your answer, then I reread our previous "talk", and fortunately the problem isn't from me:

So, to you, my comment on this yaoi was about " authors throwing girls out of the way for the sake of the story's protagonist's happy ending. " Hum. I didn't talk about that. However, it's true that I did talk about question the designation of "cheating" for this situation (and I give it to you that I should have been more specific and clarify that I was only speaking about the seme and the uke, and indeed the seme is cheating on all the girls he is going out with)
I haven't never either mentioned any happy ending, never even mentioned that it was fine for the protagonists to do something judged as bad for their own purpose. Don't put in my mouth ideas that I never said.

Then we could say that to summarize my comment with this only one sentence makes no sense, not only because I never said that, but also because I talk about a few other things than just questioning what "cheating" is called (I mainly defended the seme about him being a jerk for example). But... Are you even worse than I am for summing up things? Next you said:

"I supported my claim of not supporting this and not liking cheating in stories by not so subtly saying that regardless of gender stuff like that is not ok."
On the 20 lines in your reply, only twice was about cheating. It's 1/10 in all your answer. (And even if it's not what I'm talking about here, I have to ask since it seems so important to you for making the effort to put it "not so subtly" as you said, what gender got something to do here? Last time was sexual orientation, now gender, I will inform you that for the most of the people, whatever your sexual orientation or gender is, it's the same.).

So, according to you, our previous debate was about me that didn't care about cheating as long as the protagonists end up together, and you claiming that cheating wasn't okay.

I'll no go back on the cheating topic (but if you want, we can exchange ideas about that and morality in soties) but apprently you summed up a comment that wasn't mine, and summed up yours really wrongly, so that lead us to your favorite topic: comprehension! Yohoo!

What did I not understand? Are you sure you're not the one who can't get anything at all? I'll, as always, support my point with examples:

1) You haven't understood the manga.
I proved that in my first answer to you point by point and you never contested. by how a debate works, you're wrong.

2) You haven't understood my comment on this manga.
You can see that above.

3) You're speaking about things you don't understand like autism.

4) You haven't even understood that the question I asked - I guess you were referring to the one in my last paragraph " I really can't understand why there are so many comments which are saying that they lost their time" - was a rhetorical question what I just used to bring my point of view.
And I think that "question" is the starting point for all your disdain for me? See, by trying to absolutely insult me saying that I have no "brain" or "comprehension capacity" based on this sentence, you're just showing that those characteristic are yours.

So please, if you have a complex about your own comprehension capacity, don't try to shift your shortcoming to others. The more you try to "express yourself" (to not say rage) on this topic, the more you're digging yourself in deeper.

More than you comprehension, you should worry about your logical capacity: Your answer has simply no reason to exist! When you're trying to demonstrate that you're right - even if it's in a child argument, not talking about proof or elements in your favor - you should try to move forward, and bring something and your answer.... I don't even know how to take it, you're just summarizing our previous comment/reply (and I don't mention the way you're summarizing it, even if you have done it correctly it would be the same) ? How could that be in your favor when I was debating with you on the story? It brings nothing at all, it will not make as progress in our deliberation, we are exactly on the same point than when you didn't answer!

Now I'll answer to your new insult, after having no brain, I have no maturity!
(Let's say that your "questionable level of understanding" was based [There is at least one thing that you said that is based on something, congratulation] on your supposed summary that I dismantled by showing you that was just you that didn't understand what you was talking about, even though I thought it was a little wanson)

I really want to know why you say I have no maturity, because I don't think I have acted in a way that can deserve it, contrary to you, but let keeps that for later.
You said the question in parentheses, are you talking about:

- "(it must be, since you don't have any argument?)" at the beginning: In that case, yeah it's a fact? I have nothing more to add because it's just an observation, the same that the sky is blue. I don't see the what it has to do with maturity.

- "(Beside, what you being gay has a link with you no liking "cheating" in stories?)" at the end? If that's the case, and I'm still waiting for the answer, and I still don't see what it has to do with maturity. You should be more open-minded and logical for accepting that sexual orientation or gender has nothing to do with that kind of things. Sexual orientation defines the kind of partner you like, it doesn't defines the kind of relation you like. Being gay or straight doesn't change if you enjoy being in an open relationship, if you have been cheating on your lover or even if you like pasta. So let me repeat myself: What in my question is immature?

Then, let's see wich one between the both of us is the more immature.
(I could give the definition of maturity, but we'll go nowhere because of its unclear meaning that is quite philosophical.)

In my comment on this manga, I have never insulted anyone, not even the characters. All the more so since I've clearly told you that I think we can debate calmly, happily, and being respectful toward each other (I'm sorry if it's not the case here, but please understand that I've trouble being respectful toward someone who is not respectful toward me ^_^ Human beings tend to treat others as they are treated). All my arguments are justified, I take the time to explain them (you can't deny it, just look at how my answers are long!), and they are based on logical and consideration, not on my feelings.

And you. The first thing you say in your answer is "where did you left your brain".
I think I could stop here since just this sentence prove everything in my point, but let's continue. Your second answer wasn't better, after insulting my brain, you chose to insult my maturity and my understanding. It's like you don't want to win over my arguments, but win over me. Those are almost what's called argumentum ad personam, and you should watch out for that, this behaviour shows that you just can't find how to answer me and you throw me the first thing that make "seems" like an argument. I could also use that, saying "You're so stupiiiiid", "My 8 years old cousin have more arguments than you", "Are you sure you're not a kid?", "Go see a shrink, you look like you have problems in your head.", but it'll lead us nowhere, and I'm not here for a fight but for exchanging ideas. You don't reflect with logical, but with your own feelings (aren't we close by the definition of immaturity with this?), that's why you can't answer me, that's why you have no arguments but insults (I can add to the list "autism" for the seme). To sum up, when I want a debate, you want to a quarrel.

If I'm immature, then what are you?

If you have ill will, then why do you try to communicate? That will lead you nowhere, you'll just stagnate at the same point for the rest of your life. Learn to be open-minded and to see other perspectives than yours, you don't have to be aggressive just because somebody doesn't agree with you, you don't even have to be right or wrong, just to accept different opinions! That's the only way to progress.

To conclude, and to do it logically, let's not say that my comprehension level is pretty low, let's just that that you have no arguments, it will make more sense.

(" I decided that talking to you is useless.": After reading my answer, we can say that it's not talking to me that is useless since I'm open-minded, ready to accept different opinions than mine, and CAN understand different opinion than mine, but with your ill will you don't even want to try to consider new ideas.)

glad i sorted by popularity and saw this gem of a comment. the manga wasnt THAT fucked up or disturbing, it was distasteful but as a yaoi reader there are much worse than these.
