Each time I read this, I get a different vibe but it's always on the "dark spectum". The guy whose leg is hurt is obviously in love with the uke in a very dark way. What I have mixed feelings about is their relationship. When they were having sex it seemed like the seme had most of it and he used his manipulation on the uke to satisfy himself. That I don't like. The uke is obviously feeling very guilty and blaming himself so he might be (the way I see it it's "most likely" instead of "might be" but oh well) mistaking love for the desire to pay the seme back for what he feels is his fault. That is very unhealthy.
This relationship is destructive on the uke's side who spends his day either worrying about the seme thinking he can't be without him or satisfying the seme's whims. His worries are obiously the seme's fault since he is 100% capable of doing everything on his own judging by the way he hang out with friends which btw is very messed up since he just did that to make the uke worry about him being late. Also the seme keeps reminding the uke how "his name doesn't suit him since he can't run" he just wants to further bind the uke to him with guilt
I hope the next story is about Rio's love story (as a grown up f course so we get our smut). (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
I've had enough of these two couples (Rio's dad and his boyfriend and Rio's uncle and Shingo). Don't get me wrong, I love them to pieces but I feel like if it drags too much, the mangaka is going to have them break up or seperate or something and make us go through all that angst again and I can't handle that. (/TДT)/
If it's going to be pure sweetness and sexy time then I'm all for it but I don't think the mangaka'll release an entire volume of sex so yeah...that's why I'd rather have no more chapters then see them seperate (even if I know they'll have a happy ending for certain).
Besides, the possibility of seeing an adult uke or seme Rio is great. Look at his dad and uncle, he's going to be one hell of an eyecandy ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
I don't know how I feel about manipulative boyfriends or lovers in general. I understand the need for dominance in some people regardless whether they're semes or ukes (or in a hetero relationship) but a submissive isn't fooled into submission, the dominant makes everything known beforehand.
But with stories like this one, it feels like the dominant (the uke here) makes the other person depend on them and need them in a tricky way.
To be honest some manipulative lovers are such a turn on but sometimes it doesn't feel quite right.
I agree. I think thats actually why I liked the second chapter. Its like we can see he isn't always the one in charge and his boyfriend isn't always getting manipulated. Also at the end of their first chapter we see he totally knows his boyfriend is manipulative and just goes along with it most of the time and kind of likes it and then the second chapter shows us that he doesn't really let his boyfriend do anything too messed up to him/he doesn't really fall for their manipulation.
the last time I felt so sad by a "what if" scenario that can never become true unless a time machine is invented and the whole plot is altered was when Gaara was under the Infinite Tsukuyomi when he dreamt about having his family but also included Naruto as a best friend in that dream. It made me ship them even more (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ but it also made me want to sob my heart out.
This isn't as intense as that and I'm not attached as I am to characters I've liked for over a decade but it reminds me of that part and now I'm just sad. Σ(っ°Д °;)っ
I hope the guy who is jealous isn't the guy with the green hair.
I know that the brother is the obvious suspect but having seen way too many twists before, it feels like the scheming guy with green hair who's always laughing and looking for something interesting would turn out to be the guy responsible for this mess.
Like, the mangaka (or whatever that translates to in korean :p) is leading us to believe the brother is the one because in this chapter it was said "just stay beside me and he'll get jealous" or something like that and everyone is assuming that the guy would be jealous over the dark haired guy(can't remember english names let alone korean ones but it's the guy who committed suicide) but what if the jealous part refers to being jealous over the blond guy. As in, in a twisted turn of events the green haired guy loves the blond guy.
Or maybe I need to go easy with my binge reading/watching for a while ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
it's not the green hair guy, he said clearly he wants to know what makes him change so much but he can't tease him because the blond guy is interested in siwon and of course he can't go against him since he's a powerful heir.
I think the rat is the new guy in ch26
I mean, he does seem like a total airhead who adores his brother but the way he blushed a little after patting her head (in the page in the link) doesn't seem normal even to an idiot like him. I think he knows something.
