So from what I got, most ppl who didn’t like it just don’t like the profession of the Seme? lol? I absolutely loved this
WAIT WAIT WAIT!! Why was this actually good help?? I was so invested and I loved both of them sm pls I’m gonna miss them
Here comes the obsessive, manipulative ML trope >_> Hope the author isnt gonna portray it as something quirky and sweet and actually for what it is
Huh? Andrew’s not like that…the author explained that last scene. This chapter was also told through the other guys pov (i forgot Luke’s friend)
He has just had some bad skills and made a mistake
We‘ll see in the upcoming chapter. But where did the author state anything about this chapter?
*chapters
It was on her official twitter, but it has since been deleted. I guess she wants this chapter to be interpreted by the readers themselves, but she felt like she needed to clear some things up.
"think it's best to leave the interpretation of the work to the readers.. Also, since the Nerd Project doesn't leave much room for interpretation, l've tried to avoid mentioning the story as much as possible.. But this time, I feel like a little explanation is necessary, so I'm writing this.. I might delete this tweet.."
"It seems like many of you were quite surprised by Andrew's actions in the last episode..? I wanted to show that Andrew, who seems to excel at everything, grew up without learning some important aspects of life.. As a smart character, Andrew can do well once he learns!! He just doesn't know yet.. Really, he just doesn't know..."
"Though some details were omitted for flow.. after Luke taught him how to handle tools, Andrew was able to drive nails into the board really beautifully and neatly~"
I actually agree that he may have some obsessive tendencies, but we should also keep in mind that Luke is the first person he’s been romantically involved with that doesn’t expect anything back.
NEW VOLUME LESGOO (I forgot everything of the recent chapter)
Volume 2 is on my reading manga btw!
was abt to sayyy
i'm so happy it got a 2nd volumeeee
Right?? Cuz I love them sm but the ending of the first volume was NOT satisfying
All this for no pay off at the end is crazy and the only sex scene we got with them was a 3P that was lowkey unconsentual bye
Wait I read the novel of this I didn’t know it had a comic??
I remember this was SO messy but in a good way and the MCs were all so interesting to figure out. I‘m excited ^_^
If you don’t mind where can I read the novel
Sadly the person took her website down but someone else shared a link as well. I haven’t tried it out yet tho

I’m 100% that the Monster we see throughout the manga is supposed to be Sumida‘s depression and hopelessness. Pretty sure it’s even there before he kills his Dad? Which would show that he was always depressed considering his family situation. Later on, when his friends give him hope and encouragement to start a better life and turn himself in, he still proceeds to kill himself in the following night. That scene where he admitted that he still had things to do and presumably didn’t necessarily want to die, and then goes to consult the monster, which then tells him that „it was already decided“ is just too sad. Even if people give you hope, depression will always make you feel as if you don’t deserve redemption and happiness.
The violent portrayal of sexuality, the rape, shouzo(?) being forced to lose his virginity and that homeless guy, who turned out to be a pervert, really stood out to me. In a way, I think this is the authors way of critiquing that kids and teenagers are often forced to grow up quickly, but I feel like there’s something else I haven’t grasped yet? Maybe how japans society is dismissive of things like sexual assault and stuff?
