Although this story was cute between Tai Chan and Maa Chan, there's a bigger aspect. Tai has the typical mentality for the abused. They often become people that try so very hard to please people. They've learned to never get upset...cuz it means a beating. Must please people to avoid a beating. So very sad. His parents are ASSHOLES. And people in the community that stand by and let it happen (maa's parents) are absolute jerks.
pretty words.. but in today's society.. if you see your neighbor berating his own son and beating him.. will you go forward and say..it's not right to hurt your son? pfft.. it's easy to say that people who stood by and don't do something when they see injustice is a jerk.. but it's also none of your business to butt in.. you're spewing righteous bulls#%^.. lol
said someone who only has the guts to criticize as an Anonymous. If you really want to discuss the story without being an ASSHOLE, make a profile and stop acting superior to others.
I have reported child abuse. No one should sit by and accept child abuse. That's not a righteous high horse position, either.
Japanese people are very private people. It's the culture. If you see something like that happening in Japan, it is very common for neighbors and sometimes even extended family to keep their mouths shut and not get involved. I wouldn't say you are spewing righteous bullshit, but you do have to understand the culture of Japan when you read Japanese manga.
Just because it's part of someone's 'culture' doesn't make it acceptable. Human sacrifice was part of a culture also. Culture is changeable. Child abuse was, and still is, largely ignored in this country also. I worked in pediatric intensive care, with a lot of child abuse cases. Sorry, but this topic is very close to my heart.
I'm with you, sister.
Thank you @LadyP0ny!
I see and and understand what you mean, but we have to remember that that is the kind of lifestyle they are accustomed to (hence the word culture). In their culture, they are very sensitive when it comes to privacy, and family matter is one of those privacies. Despite of the blatant abuse, the unwritten rule is not to meddle unless the family member asks to due to their strict privacy policy. When such thing becomes a normal lifestyle, even doing the right thing will be hard to do (or maybe won't even cross their minds at all!). Heck, maybe the concept is something they see as something unacceptable even.
Yes, they are not right, but they are not 100% at fault either because that's the kind of lifestyle they know, understand, and accustomed to. When it becomes a part of one's life, it will be hard to change it. For them to change, it will take years, maybe even hundreds of years.
It's been 1000s of years. Japan and her culture has been around far longer than America.
This looks really interesting. If the mom automatically assumed "gay" = "wear a skirt" she's really messed up. Or maybe it's her way of punishing him, in an underhanded way...all under the pretext of being "understanding?" I already hate the bitch but we shall see...
I dont think she deserves hate or is a bitch. She tries very hard in her own way and is a little messed up, but she really cares about her kid. Have you never had the experience of feeling something you were not able to just change baeed on your understanding?
What? I don't understand your question? And damn it I hate Anonymous commenters...you can't have a back and forth at all
Really liked it, except for the inviSibley ghost Dicks. Damn it! Whyyyyyy?! （/TДT)/
"Ghost Dicks"
For some reason I find that turn of phrase hilarious.
I have yaoi and bara to thank for bringing crazy phrases like that into my life.
I just noticed...how in the hell did my tablet change invisible to inviSibley??!!
I call them invisidicks xD
That's pretty funny too.
I also like phantom wangs.
Invisidicks and phantom wangs! PERFECT! LOVE THEM BOTH
The ending needed more drama or something, like more passion. And I thought Nanae was a bitch. Sorry.
I thought so too, there other friends were also a bit jerkish.
They all should have been more honest with each other.
Whew. I was worried others might of thought Nanae was ok. She always came at just the wrong times. It seemed like she liked Ken and was "cock blocking." I know at the end they tried to play that off, but I didn't buy it.
Had to buy it, because I adore vampire/human yaoi. And it's soooo freakin good!!!
Same lol but now I'm stuck on chapter 13 and I'm really tempted to buy more coins but I don't wanna get addicted to it xD
Is it really Yaoi?
Yup it's yaoi
It is yaoi. Can be pretty hot. More to it than just domination though. There's definitely an underlying message about society and our perceived roles in it.
I was really excited about first chapter, but then we got other unsatisfying stories instead of a complete story on the first couples. All stories seemed incomplete. Like the art, wanted more
Disagree in the art part, but yeah
Art the greatest, but interesting style. Didn't like that the ukes all looked like girls. Really wanted a better rounded out story. Premise was good; execution was not!
Ugh, *NOT THE GREATEST. WTH AUTOCORRECT
I'm not fond of yaoi that overly treats the uke like a woman. If I wanted to read about breasts so much I'd read ecchi, or yuri. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
I was also slightly annoyed by the uke's femininity, though I was more focused on the uncensored lower half ...
I have no shame ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
Ha ha! Yes, it is always nice with no stupid censoring. I think we all know what a penis is, what it does; no need to censor and disrupt the art.
Who doesn't if you signed up
This is fucked up. Have to mentally prepare to read this.
But reminded me a bit of "Stranger Things" and "L"!
