Right????!! Totally feel you and the uke in this manga. Im not gay either, but middle school was hell for sure. And I feel like it was more so for the character in this manga.
His first time was with a pervert who filmed him.
Yeah but the thing that is terrible about his first time is that he “consented” to it. I know many people who ended up having sex in terrible way for their first time when they didn’t particularly want to, but there was always a bit of grooming/blackmail involved in it (conscious or not depending of the other person’s age). Of course everyone didn’t had a old pervert for their first time, but even if it’s a handsome youth, if you didn’t really want to have sex with him it feels no different (well, it does in manga so I guess that’s why they had to make him so creepy). And I’m saying that as a person who witnessed one of her friend forced to have sex (the other dude didn’t had any bad intention but it still felt like rape and I honestly don’t think I’ll ever forget this)
Anyway that’s what I meant by how realistic it was.
"The uke" what the fuck
Omg, I mean I know some people have it worst like getting raped. I wasn't implying that there weren't worst things out there. Hell a friend of mine in high school was raped by another student in school when she went clubbing. The worst. I thank got she wasn't killed or anything like that after. And when I said pervert, it doesn't matter if said pervert was old like in the manga. I was just sympathizing with the character's experience in the manga (the uke).
I wasn't implying as well that everyone had an old pervert for their first time.
I remember there being a video scandal during my first year in college of a female freshman student doing it. Later in the news it was mentioned it was her first time which explained all the crying in the video. And she was filmed with a hidden camera by the boy she was doing it with. This manga reminded me of this except the video was taken in his face and we don't know what'll happen to the video in this manga, or if it will be brought up again.
This is why I said that I can relate with the uke in this manga. It reminded me of what happened to people around me during my youth. And also that I can relate your feelings about middle school being hell. I don't remember my classmates and I having too much fun. Harassment and bullying was a frequent occurrence.
Wtf I forgot the character's name while reading the comments, so to make sure everyone knew who I was talking about, I just said "the uke".
Aaah I’m sorry I misunderstood XD yeah, so much shit happen in middle school. Anyway! At least this manga give us a little hope because it show realistic bad things that happen to many, but in the end the MC still found happiness :)
I can't to see how he met his husband!!!
The “character’s” name is the author. His name is Nanasaki Ryousuke. You can find his name next to the “author” of this manga page.
And? So I was quick to type my comments and leave the mangago page for work. Why are you so offended?
I think you’re mistaken. I have no clue why you’re quick to assume that me informing/correcting you is somehow an attack on you. If you think about it, nothing I’ve said even points to the conclusion that I’m offended.
Ah I think they might have thought you’re the person who said “the uke. Wtf” without being careful. Which, for that one, was a bit agressive. XD
Omg. Yes I thought you were that person!XD seriously my bad. That person really sounded offended which I don't usually get from other people. I understand respect towards a story and characters, but really, I meant no disrespect calling the character "the uke". Im really bad at remembering names to begin with and its not until I read more chapters when I start remember the names of the characters. XD
I mean I thought @blatantescapes was that person.
Just in case you thought I was referring to you @messy-mushroom.
No worries. I did pop out of nowhere so I don’t blame you. According to this comment ( http://www.mangago.zone/home/mangatopic/6224865/), both Nanasaki and his future husband are called Ryousuke. So to prevent confusion, Nanasaki is probably the better name to remember in the long run. Although the fact that they both share the same name might make it easier to recall... Speaking of which, if one of them adopts the other last name in the family register, will they both be called Nanasaki Ryousuke?
Oh good question, probably??? Man that’s confusing XD that’s really when nicknames become useful haha!
And yeah I got you Crystal, no worries haha
Thanks messy-mushroom and blantantescapist for the pardon!
Btw speaking about their names being the same after the adoption of the last name in the family register, if there aren't any nicknames at that point, I might be calling them Ryousuke seme and Ryousuke uke with the risk of pissing off other people I guess.
Hahahaha I also got drawn by that... The uke... what? xD
Just in case some people don't know, uke means the bottom, the receiver during sex.
I'm pretty sure anyone who's here knows what it means.
also, what i meant was, the comments were interesting until I saw the word Uke used. xD I had the same expression as the other person, like... The Uke? wtf. indeed. xD
There's nothing wrong with saying uke. Iol
Ouch this manga is very sad, all the more because it’s realistic. I’m not a gay man, but that part about not having anything good in middle school really hurts because honestly, I know so many people (me included) for who middle school was hell. Idk why harassment is such a huge thing when in middle school. It’s terrible. They somehow always find reason, even just wearing glasses can be enough!
Also I felt terrible at how his first time went, it’s good he was about to move on, but this part too, so realistic man. First time are almost always terrible things, mainly because of lack of information about sexuality.
