This is a very important question, I need to know the answer!!!

Love that editor, really..she seems to have lots of (kinky) ideas..

And that's what's good about this manga.
Being in love with your partner doesn't mean they'd always have hot, steamy sex and they will live happily ever after; they grow old and sick. In some countries, especially where same-sex marriage/union is not accepted, you cannot be with your love one if they are in a hospital and in need of operation or something. You are not acknowledged as a partner/spouse and therefore not allowed to make decisions for him/her.
It's not always a happy ending, there are some who experience discrimination because of their sexual preferences. Like Sakai, who was disowned by his family just because he's gay.
I am really happy that these stories are being tackled in yaoi, and I'm hoping for more stories like this! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
It's too funny for a seme to be always in the dark about how the uke feels, and try to please him all the time, but not ending up as a puppy seme (like Nowaki from Junjou Romantica or Morinaga from Koisuru Boukun). And its refreshing!!!

Classic yaoi tropes either fall into the rape category, or to the shoujo-esque type ("Notice me Senpai" types) where the uke is the one always flustered like a blushing girl, wishing/begging/hoping to be loved by the seme and the seme is just being smug/cool/cold/whatever all the time.
And knowing Masao Sangutsu, her ukes are always problematic in a funny way ike this. This is too cute.
THIS IS SOOOO DAMN FUNNY!
What the heck, it's a half-human child, you baka! It's not a kitten that you can just kidnap away from the mother! (But it's really too funny, sorry) (⌒▽⌒)
I died laughing. Those bishie sparkles are truly a menace to the society. HAHAHAHA!

And the extra about the writer saying sorry by writing a story is soooo funny. But in reality, you wouldn't like a guy like that, even if you're gay. If you're already going out with this kind of guy, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't last long. Even for a person like me who rarely says what she thinks, the writer's attitude is too much. You need to say your feelings out loud every now and then. What that guy needs is a maid and not a lover.
I'm gonna listen to it now. Ahh, so nice~ I'm guessing Est Em took some inspiration in the punk scene in the UK for Nick and Pete's story. This is sooo awesome.
Sheesh, why did I decided to read Est Em only now? I've read her Equus series before (which of course, as the title suggest, is about horses, er half-human half-horse creatures) and I'm not a fan of it. But my gosh, her other works like these, it's soooo mature! Granted they lack the smutty, hot, smexy scenes we're all craving for, but the realism is there.
This is what really happens in real life, fujoshis and fudanshis. Gay lovers in real life do not just have sex all day long, and then they live happily ever after. Est Em's works gives us a glimpse of what really happens in their lives: they grow old, they argue, they separate, they might not end up together. Now I'll get my tissues and sob in a corner.
...in its emo-ness. Like one of them is being too happy with their relationship right now, but scared that the past might catch up with him and destroy what he has now. Also, the feeling of emptiness..like he loves the other guy too much, yet it seems like enough. Can't wait for the next chapter. ╥﹏╥
