I totally agree with you. Tbh I neither enjoyed this manga nor found it funny/cute. The uke was so miserable, I wanted to hug him. He was completely forced into this relationship which IMO hasn't progressed at all (I really can't feel any love there). And I can't stand the characters who are too perfect (supposedly Naruse).
I know most of the readers like it and I accept it, but it's just not my cup of tea.
It's also what I feel. I didn't find the feelings I like to see evolve in a relationship and I can't believe the uke is so quickly turned on by the seme after his first and awful rape. And I really can't bear all the situations the uke is living (humiliating scenes) while the seme seems to glorify, surrounded by brainless girls. I also didn't find any scenes funny at all and, as a woman, I'd like to see more yaoi stories with women in it who help the couple to be together and aren't always mean.
It's good that there're people who like this story because we have all different tastes and if people enjoyed it, it's good for them but I didn't find anything that I could like in this story. It's not my cup of tea either.
actually the reason this story doesn't have too much development is because akiyoshi is dense, (as seen when his sempai tried to attack him) so he is in love with fuuta but is very slow at realizing it. It takes him until koishii akuma to realize exactly how much he cares
actually it shows how naruse isn't perfect by the way he can't transition himself very well to akiyoshi, so to over step that he tries to show him physically how much he loves him, hense the rape and the weird relationship they end up having.
fuuta actually shoos them away and flat out rejects them, (when akiyoshi is tripped) so to say he parades them is not true, more like tolerates them. And their are yaois in which chicks have help but their small in number, (i think) ( ̄∇ ̄")
It's just my opinion and it's a good thing that people enjoyed this manga but I can't say I liked it.
It gathers a lot of things that I don't like in mangas: rape, the idea that "I rape you but it's nothing because I like you", the fact that the uke is constantly facing humiliating situations. The uke seems to be ridiculous and ungifted while the seme seems to be good in everything and adored by everyone.
The girls who are clinging to Naruse when his physical appearance changed are mean and seem also idiotic. In yaoi mangas unfortunately, the representation of women are often bad.
Perhaps you won't agree with me but for all those reasons, I didn't like this story.
