If the plot had developed and given time for readers to connect, it’d have much more heartbreaking impact. HERE’S A RECOMMENDATION OF KINDA SIMILAR STORY: https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/love_me_eat_me/
Uke got humiliation kink, he likes it when he’s humiliated, he’s a shameless/pervert, slutty, etc., if you’re into such ukes, go ahead. I don’t have liking for such a character, so I got bored. Maybe some other time I might pick it up again…or not. Also art is kinda ugly, what’s with eyeliner on eyes even crossing the bounds of face lol. Looks ridiculous. And uke should drawn with small shoulders if he gonna act/pretend like that shy shoujo girl, looks cringy with that drawing style.
Aw. It was a sweet read, actually. The storytelling, portrayal of emotions, and characterization seemed good for a short read. I usually hate/dislike prostitute ukes but here I didn’t. He was into that business but he didn’t come off as shitty or slutty.
And his reluctance in accepting was coming from his prostitution past. He wanted to now live honorably, normally, and leave that dark past. And this change was triggered by Kazaki But there was psychological struggle as he liked Kinazaki who was from his past but he didn’t like his past. Then his struggle to rediscovering himself, reestablishing, getting scared of later conflict of his feelings and losing his new role in society, figuring out his feels, etc.
I liked it. Kinda like dark fluffy read. Lol. Psychological factor was definitely a treat with my favorite obsessive, possessive seme and their twisted or say, unique love or relationship. Usually mangas are around 5 chapters mostly, so there are usually fast paced development, but still, it’s good, short psychological read. They love and are happy in their own way. *shrugs*
That black-haired yakuza guy is an ultra top. He could make other tops like glasses guy his uke/bottom. Cough. I’m a sucker for bad guys so… The plot was predictable since I knew who he was gonna end up with so it got boring from then on. So, avg read. I kinda wanted uke to end up with daddy seme Yakuza, making his frozen heart beat, and getting him possessive over him and…
Man, the seme is really gorgeous, hot. I’m sucker for slicked-back black-haired, tall, older, ripped seme. Those slicked back hairstyle really gives mature, ceo, rich, boss, kinda vibe. Also loved the height difference. It’s just a short smutty paranormal, supernatural bl read. There are 5 more chs as side stories, apparently. And many thanks to the translator sama and scan team for good quality work.
