nah, i've re-read this manga for holy fuck idk how many times, and i'm super glad that both seme and uke showing a little bit of affection.
they are the couple who are messed up but slowly trying to acknowledge each other.
and i don't think Karino is an abusive partner at all ;
I mean I've never seen a part where Karino gets completely violent with Azusa to the point our baby uke gets badly hurt because of him. Instead, the chap where he tried to apply some medicine on Azusa when he got punched, got me melting ~
Believe it or not, Azusa is actually a soft character. Sure he was a fucking jerk since the beginning, but that's all because of the role he's in and his arrogant personality. But he's actually nice, a chap where he was showing a bit of kind side to Atsumu.
And the main couple are messed up in the head, Azusa with his arrogant attitude and his mom, meanwhile Karino with father and family with high hopes on him. Just look at the part when he said he doesn't even know what a good food is ;
that made me sad. :((
AND BTW no, Karino is not a regular rick jerk arrogant abusive seme. He's mean to Azusa for a reason. Azusa treated him like a bitch before, so he's just repaying it. Except this time, he revenged it using sex, but... uh ; loved it in the end.
I tuned tf out the moment Azusa started displaying the slightest bit if affection towards the seme.
Azusa has never been the nicest character, I know that.
The seme, though, is too much of an asshat. He's just the regular rich jerk arrogant abusive seme we're used to in Yaoi.
The other, characters/couples are better. Cause they're messed up in the head, we've known from the beginning, and their relationship doesn't directly go from abuse to "I love you" for zero reason.
