Keito should just end up with Shinya he's the only good boy in the manga.
But tbh I don't think Masayuki would've ended up raping Keito, with his personality I think he'd snap out of it once he sees Keito's scared look or smt. I mean he's been controlling himself for 3 whole years, would he just suddenly ruin everything in one instance? Quite unlikely. Still doesn't excuse him for "attempting" it tho.
No disrespect, this is my own opinion. If he says that he didnt confess out of respect then thats kinda BS for me. So what if he's straight? He couldve confessed, rejected and get a closure but instead, he forced himself at the guy he supposedly respected for 3yrs because some other guy is brave enough to do it. At least the italiano over there got the guts to do something bold (bad but what can we do this is yaoi. (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜) For me what he did was a cowardly move.
Ayy I respect your opinion but I don't think it was a cowardly move tho, but more like he knew it was pointless. Keito already knew about Masayuki's crush and Masayuki knew that Keito was aware of his feelings. It wasn't clear closure but he'd already gotten indirect closure since Keito didn't respond to his flirting and chose to ignore his feelings. Imo it wouldn't make a difference if he confessed, Keito already indirectly rejected him by ignoring his feelings for 3 whole years but Masayuki still couldn't move on from him.
Wouldn't you be mad if you were in Masayuki's shoes? I'm gonna assume you're a straight girl okay: Imagine you fell in love with a strictly gay guy and you know it's pointless to confess so you don't because you don't wanna creep him out and ruin your friendship. Here comes a new girl you both just met and boom after like 1 month suddenly the guy you've known to be gay your whole life turns straight because this new girl forcefully kissed him on the first day they met. So yeah I'm not saying that Keito should've chosen Masayuki, I just think that it's super unrealistic to just fall for someone who harassed you and literally said "I wanna fuck you" on the first few days you've met. I'd call the police on him for sexual harassment tbh.
Yeah, id fucking freak out and ehhhh prolly call the police too if someone shoved his tongue down in my throat on the first day. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ if that was me, id prolly confess then accept defeat but also thank the person for rejecting me properly (not that everyone can do that. Just what id do if i were in his place) And yeah i think you're right. The uke did know the other semes feeling and but chose to ignore it. He just apologized when all hell broke loose. Σ(  ̄□ ̄||)
The fact of the matter is you can't control chemistry and who you like/love/are attracted to. he didn't feel that way about Masayuki, even knowing him all that time. No one's fault..Masayuki can have regrets about not confessing, but it would have ended the same. Also, no one is obligated to be with some because that person likes them.
I totally agree with you but it is just that i prefer the other guy....
It's just my preference... But in the story i knew he has to reject him. It's just painful to see.
Love is the most beautiful and the worst feeling in the same time. It's also the most unpredictable and of course you can't control the other one feelings. If he did not feel the same you just have to move on. It can take some time...
And If he feels the same it doesn't mean that everything will be fine all the time.
Relationships are like that beautiful, complicated, painful, full of joy,... And every relationship is different.
Not sure if you're replying to me or the reply above you, but I did mention that I wasn't expecting Keito to return Masayuki's feelings in one of the replies. Just gonna copy paste it here so you don't have to read through all the replies~
"So yeah I'm not saying that Keito should've chosen Masayuki, I just think that it's super unrealistic to just fall for someone who harassed you and literally said "I wanna fuck you" on the first few days you've met. I'd call the police on him for sexual harassment tbh."
I couldn't even concentrate on the sexy scenes near the end because I kept thinking about Masayuki and how UNFAIR everything is to him. He kept his distance and never confessed for 3 YEARS out of respect for Keito since he's straight and only viewed him as a friend, then some rando foreigner dude who sleeps around FORCES A TONGUE DOWN KEITO'S THROAT and Keito be like "ohh I can't forget the taste of his sweet sweet tongue~" like wtf I'd be terrified and sick to my stomach if a stranger forced a french kiss on me.
So basically Gino sexually harassed Keito into loving him. I mean most yaoi plots are like that and I honestly don't mind but when you put in a 2nd lead who RESPECTS the uke and has loved him one-sidedly for 3 WHOLE YEARS I'd be mad pissed at the uke for changing his sexual orientation and falling in love with a newly introduced guy so quickly.
Still gonna give it 4 stars tho cuz Gino mad hot but #JusticeforMasayuki
