So it wrapped up to fast-I was so into this one bc the tension was perfect and the semes antagonism & the uke's angst were fucking perfect as well. Then comes this accident and disappointing the dad which wasn't wrapped up and the seme realizing he was in luv was way to fast -I hope that there's more but unless I saw wrong it looks like there's an omake and that's it
Actually mangaupdates say that it's ongoing with currently 3 volumes.
Sry accidentally hit annoying trying to hit reply- but any ways immgoad there's more even though I'm still irritated by the seme confessing to quick-I'm like why does he love him. He barely worked to him and he wen from annoyed to in love so quickly. I get the irritation was him having feels but the realization needs some transition.
Same here.I found the seme's "affection and confession" a little insufficient. He was rude and frankly,a jerk. Which was quite balancing since the uke perseveres this act and kind of treatment..of course not until later on he finally broke down.
Then,introduces a "rival" and boom seme has to act and think fast or he will be snatched away.LOL.
I hope the seme's feelings will be CHALLENGED and be more ROOTED in the next chapters to come.
meh ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍ I'll still read this.I'm a sucker for angst and heart breaks.
I can see them getting shut down over it. These sites are already treding a fine line of legality and I can totally see shota manga being used as a reason to do it. In the west any depiction of children (even drawings) shown in a sexual sit is considered kiddie porn. I'm not a fan of shota-in fact I find it triggering. I do my best to avoid it bc I know it's gonna make me freaked out. My dads a pedophile and I've got a deep scar from that. Unfortunately Mangago had its titles and covers all mixed up again (why does that happen?) and so I found myself here by accident; but it got me thinking how these mangas could maybe be used as a justification to finally shut down this website -which would suck cause I love mangago. I wouldn't just lose a place to read Yaoi but I'd lose all the work I've put into my lists.
Totally agree!!!
I just wrote the same thing.
I wish they would remove/ban all shotacon and lollicon too for that matter.
I missed the tag for this and read it thinking it was a yaoi story about the father.
No, it wasn't explicit; however, I think this type of material should not be distributed in any format because, animated or not, it's basically kiddie porn.
It's not a questions of simply avoiding it.
I don't want the website to post what amounts to child pornography.
Basically, I do not want to use a website that traffics in child pornography, illustrated or otherwise.
Let other website traffic in that type of material.
I don't think it's too much to ask that this website draw a line at the sexualization of children.
I'm surprised so many people think it's OK and even defend it.
Murder is bad. Violence is bad. A lot of people still like watching it, because it's fictional. As long as all they do is read and watch it then it's fine. It's fictional. Child pornography involves an actual living child who are not able to give consent or a legal consent having sex. There's a difference. Don't throw the word around.
So rape and incest are ok? Yaoi has a ton of stories that include one or the other, and in many cases both. The thing is this is considered art (not that I agree with it 100% with the content), but I do support art and the freedom to make it.
I mean what is the difference between this and what Degas painted? He was a creep who loved little girls in the nude and in ballet clothes and yet his paintings hang in the Louvre.
Plus dont forget all the shoujos that have the adult teacher seducing their students?
If you get your panties in a wad over this (which is fairly tame) then I suggest you not read any manga except sweet life shoujos; like Love so Life.
This is a complicated set of thoughts and feelings I'm going to express so hopefully this comes out right-I'm not trying to judge anyone here, in fact my own opinion was mostly about the legality of this; I do not believe that everyone who enjoys shota is a pedo. I think most yaoi readers are female and most of us identify with the uke. Yaoi is written mostly by and for women & for many in Japsn is a way to experience and deal with sexual feelings that are culturally frowned on. In shoujo and yaoi the female or uke says no when it feels good bc female sexuality is repressed. Female genitalia isn't allowed to be shown yet they have festivals where giant cocks are carried down the street while young women suck on lollipops made to look like a penis. Also in Japan youth is sexualized so there's a lot of cultural shit wrapped up in these mangas. But back to my point about identifying with the uke. If I had found shota as a kid I probably would have been obsessed with it (I was a fucked up kid with sexual feelings I didn't know how to deal with-I wonder why-(sarcasm)-kids are humans and even though it makes most of us adults uncomfortable they're sensual creatures. If molested they tend to become sexualized. I certainly did, & bc I was s child I was totally freaked about it, filled with guilt and shame but still I hid explicit romance novels under my bed. I fantasized about being kidnapped and molested by boys in my class. It's hard to even admit that. Because that fucked up little girl lives inside of me I'm triggered by this shit. Because when I read romance or erotic stories I identify with the female or uke I don't like seme pov stories most of the time. I'd like to be able to explain this better but it's hard. My biggest issue with shota and lolli is that pedophiles are actually made more likely to offend by seeing images of abuse. If it wasn't that way and it kept them from messing with kids I'd be uncomfortable but wouldn't object. It doesn't work like that unfortunately. I actually feel sorry for some pedophiles, especially the ones who fight to never offend. I think some ppl are unfortuntly born that way and some are created through abuse. It's horrific and pitiful. They are reviled and are attracted to a segment of humanity that by its very nature isn't able to give consent bc of they aren't mature enough. I have no sympathy for remorseless abusers. It's true this wasn't the worst and I didn't pay attn to the label. im alao not against depictions of abuse that are part of telling a longer narrative and aren't gratuitous or created to titilate. I read a manga before that showed abuse to explain how the character became the person he was and it was moving. Hopefully this makes sense. Anyways that my thoughts
And there in lies a huge difference between you and I.
For me, the fact that something is illustrated does not change the fact that it is child pornography. Any depiction of sex between an adult and a child is child pornography. And before you jump all over me screaming "No! No! No!", consider this...
Currently animation is reaching a level of sophistication that allows for the creation of exceptionally life-like depictions of human beings, as well as animals, scenery, etc...
Consequently, the difference between that which is real and illustrated facsimiles is rapidly shrinking.
Furthermore, animators can now also use pictures of real people to create animation both quickly and affordably.
So imagine that someone decided to illustrate, whether through still pictures or animation, your child being sexually assaulted by an adult. Would you still believe it was OK?
And if you don't have any children, then would you be alright with someone depicting you molesting a child?
Sure, it wouldn't be you. It would just look EXACTLY like you. And you can't say it's wrong because their using your image because, again, it's not you. Just like you think it's not child pornography because it's only illustrated.
I know people think of shota as victimless, but I'm simply not convinced. It is material that stimulates/arouses people through the depiction of children in sexual situations, which is in and of itself dangerous because people who find molestation arousing tend to be pedophiles and pedophilia, like most sexual disorders, involves escalation. In other words, the more exposure the sexually explicit material a pedophile has, the more likely they are to move on to molesting real children in real life. No, not everyone who reads shota will abuse a child; however, some will. And in many cases it's exposure to those materials which will accelerate their transition to real world abuse.
You bring up another reason I don't want to see shota/loli on this or really any site.
Children born today are able to access anything via the web so quickly, but here shota/loli is mixed with other manga representing a broad range of content.
Sure there are warning about adult content, but let's be honest, things like that tend to attract, not deter children.
While I believe a lot of content on this site might be detrimental to children, I believe shota/loli would be particularly dangerous to a child. In essence, it normalizes and in some cases glorifies sex involving children. That is not something any child should be exposed to.
And I know people will say, "well you can't stop kids from finding stuff online", but that is such a cop out. First of all, you can stop children from reaching inappropriate material and/or help their parents stop them from accessing it with the right tools.
Secondly, even if you might not be able to stop every single child from seeing something they shouldn't see, you don't simply give up. Although some children will get around deterrents, others won't. There is no reason to make it easy for them. Just like there is no reason to have illustrated child pornography on this site.
very well said, I completely agree with both of your long posts.
I'm glad you posted them because I was trying to think of how to portray these same thoughts, but you did so well that I can only agree with you.
A pedophile would be attracted to shota AFTER becoming an offender, what makes us think they wouldn't be attracted to, and fueled by it, BEFORE they become an offender?
It's like smoking in front of someone who's trying to quit
Thank you for posting your thoughts, I completely agree that these subjects should not be taken lightly, and should not portray abuse as a healthy, loving relationship.
And I'm not talking about consentual S&M where the relationship is all about trust - I'm talking about people being sexually taken advantage of.
But I am ok with manga that portray the real psychological issues that accompany these scenarios, and perhaps even go through the forgiveness process and DO turn into healthy relationships
this is just what I think, tell me if i'm wrong
┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
…I cant stand to read one chapter of a manga I'm excited about only to be left hanging while waiting. I've made myself wait but I fucking looove Hanamura Hichika ಥ_ಥ. I want to check who the scantalator is to make sure it's still an active scan group but I know if I hit start reading I won't be able to resist reading past the scantalators credit page-
。・゜・(ノД`)・゜・。
Something is missing, one min the seme is saying I'm going to remove myself from your sight and the next they're together and nao's being stalked
I figured it out-I skipped a chapter somehow-don't know exactly how I did that but whatever.
