lol not saying Zariya copied, but after reading/watching Ai no Kusabi I can't help but comment on the similarities. The pet auction and the pet cockring ish thing really is similar. XD We needed a more light-hearted version of Ai no Kusabi anyways!
omg I love Ai no Kusabi so much <3 especially the older version that covers the entire story (until the end unlike the 2012 version)
Although I hate the sad ending, it was still romantic in a way...
now my tiny kokoro hurts, gotta go find a suit super happy yaoi to fix my mood
btw, I agree with the first comment that many other mangakas have used the theme but it could be that the author of the original novel ai no kusabi was the first one to come up with this agressive/possessive/bdsm-ish yaoi love
The rape scene was horrible. I mean, rape is already bad, but when pregnancy is not only possible but certain death along with pregnancy... brrrrrrr. I felt such bad chills and officially hate the "brother" now... fuck him

to me this scene didn't really look like she was willing - but take it for what you will. The author probably purposely leaves it vague for different interpretation
I personally dont hate anri anymore or less from the new chapter :)
its obviously rape
Yeah, I went back and looked at it before I posted the last comment, but the scene resembles the yaoi scenes so much (the old stereotype of the bodice ripper scenes) that I find myself ambivalent here ... was it non-con or Japanese trope - I am just not sure. Maybe it will be explained in the next chapter?
Yeah. IN real life I have no wiggles room-- no is no is no is no.
In manga, they'll say no due to insecurities or it's a public place or whatever, but then you see they are just having the best time and mean yes, yes, yes.
This one seemed totally a no. And in a world where her virginity IS her life, her status, and getting pregnant means you just up and die--well, I'd take no seriously.
I'm pretty sure this isn't right? I mean, released in 2000??? That's the same year Aoi Hitsuji no Yume came out. Impossible!!!

Ehhhh....It took a long time for the story to end. The plot was good, but I feel like the main characters were so-so. I didn't really like how Kagerou was really weak all the time and was always outsmarted by Kichou. Kichou was way too overpowering for Kagerou when they interacted, and I wish they had a more balanced relationship like in Haru wo Daite Ita. I know most BL has a "male" and a "female" character, but I prefer when they're both equally matched and have equal control over the relationship. Most of the relationship is pushed by the seme too much of the time with the uke being dragged along, raped, and coerced. I'm always frustrated.
lol When I was checking the chapter titles before I read the new 3rd chapter, I laughed so hard at the title "99% of Me is my Face"!
