Opinions seem to be split but I absolutely love this! The way the author creates such pitiful bottoms and hot&cold tops is amazing! I love the intricate nature of this, the dialogue and especially the art! She's gotten so much better!! The backgrounds and atmosphere, I can't stop looking ;A;
Based on the VERY misleading description "bend over", I was so afraid this was gonna be a r4pe situation with the gym teacher and actually hesitant to read this.
Now I'm glad I did, binge read this and I love it! Was worried it would be toxic but this hits the sweet spot! (hopefully it stays that way...no spoilers pls)
I love soul/body switch BL, reminds me of At the end of the Road and their attitude and dynamic is very much like Payback (same author) and kinda like Mad Dog too :D
I just love everything about this! So refreshing to have both be alive too!
To this day one of the best Oneshot I read, simple but sweet. I like that it's partly story driven and only gets dark towards the end.
I think knowing the story ruins it a bit so if you want to know if you should read this, the answer is YES.
Don't scroll further since not everyone marks their spoilers!
How can something with only 2 chapters make me cry so much? The last few panels, seeing him remembering Kuro, still a child while he's an adult crying took me out...especially the sentence "he got out while I came back".
What is this emotion? I feel so incredibly sad.
Read the second chapter and this is the most stereotypic shit I've seen in a while.
Of course his mom died, of course a loan shark approaches him at the funeral, telling him he has to pay back their debt or whatever. Oh and the dad was already dead too! Now he's poor & an orphan, amazing! And the typical toxic top getting send to a warehouse to beat someone up for money or something, it all comes back! I was surprised to see him with a gun tho, it usually is a crowbar or a knife.
This shit is sending me rn
And prostitution cause' it's Omegaverse
Yup, glad this wasn't my first Omegaverse tho since there's genuinely some really good ones out there.
Yeah...
This plot is, sadly, an assemblage of the most used tropes in Korean Yaois ୧| ᵔ ﹏ ᵔ |୨
Rich ML x Poor Endebted Uke, Orphan Uke, loan sharks, ganster type Yaoi, Omegaverse, prostitution...
Missed tag: Isekai, Regression...
Exactly! I don't mind using tropes but at least create a good story.
I've seen good Manga/Manhwa with prostitution, I've seen good Omegaverse and good Rich top x indepted bottom (Limited Run for example) but combing them while having the most bland and least imaginary story ever is a hard pass from me.
I love stories about mentally ill characters that eventually heal but I was NOT expecting the top to look like the most gangster looking mf
I'm throwing tables if their relationship is toxic!
This is messed up but after reading a lot of Gore BL Manga + Harada's works, I'm actually used to it and find myself strangely addicted to twisted stuff like this...I don't know what that says about me ;_;
Also reminds me vaguely of "Boys of the dead".
I just know I've seen art like this but can't remember where and I could've sworn I know other works of the same author (because of the art and dark theme).
IKR bro i am so deep in that hole than i cant get out dark stuff got its own..."appeal" ig? Especially the well written ones...like this...
Exactly, ngl the whole forgiveness was a bit off putting and also the age of the child but this isn't a manga to be liked by people but to disturb and it works perfectly!
im in a same boat my dude ╥﹏╥ maybe its because a lot of these darker mangas seem to have better writing than the "normal" ones; where rape is normalised and forgiven too easily in those types but explored extensively in the more morbid ones? just an example
Oh my god yes!! I absolutely despise rape and rapists etc but reading about it in a not romanticized way is just...intriguing...rape, pedophilia and murder IS disturbing and thats how it should be portrayed and treated also ykyk unlike most comics on the front page of mangago...where no means yes and they lived happily ever after...
Ngl the first chapter gave me second hand embarrassment and I'm not a fan of the whole "let's film while people watch us have sex" (although it can be done good like with Walk on Water).
But I really enjoyed their dynamic, the plot is very rushed which is a shame but it's chaotic in a good way?
Nothing outstanding but worth continuing to read I guess?
I'm apparently the only person here who likes Kwon, I don't condone all of his actions but he's so handsome and sophisticated. Sure he needs to suffer in the current Chase arc but I just love both, Yeon-oh and Kwon. I just love this manhwa so much!
Hey, trust me, you're not alone. However, you seem to be the only one who acknowledges his red flags and accepts his need to suffer.
Oh thank you, I'm honestly a bit shocked so many agree with me, the recent comments suggested otherwise, that's why I wrote mine but I'm glad I did :)
I think a character doesn't need to be flawless to be liked, Kwon definitely could've been better to Yeon-oh and his indecisiveness in recent chapters has been a bit infuriating haha but I still love their dynamic and overall story so much! I just fell in love with both, they don't need to be perfect as long as both can be happy in the end!
If JH earns his way back to YO, all will be forgiven. He needs to speak up instead of doing YO favors. YO will only attribute those to JH's guilt over his father's death. :3
Exactly!! You summed it up perfectly!
I truly hope Kwon will be more honest in future chapters!
I’ve been thinking, and not that it justifies some of his shittier actions, but he’s rich, his thought process is different from most people.
So some of the things he’s done that have been questionable also come from that “I’m rich” place.
I think chapter 74 enforces my theory that he grew up a certain way, and that shaped his personality.
Point.
Definitely, he uses favors to make things right or get what he wants, he didn't exactly grew up lovingly either as we've seen so far.
That, and again, not justifying, only making a point, but his treating Yeon-oh like an object sometimes, I think comes from the fact that (I’m not rich and I’ve never really been around Uber rich people, so I could be wrong and stereotyping), even if his mom was down to earth, ultimately, he grew up probably thinking that money could get you anything. So when he made the deal with Yeon-oh and Yeon-oh agreed, I don’t think he was thinking much about Yeon-oh’s humanity. So I don’t think he’s a jerk by nature, but more by nurture.
"Not a jerk by nature but by nurture" This sentence is perfect! I like that you also acknowledge that it doesn't justify his actions but could explain them and I agree.
That's probably also why many people growing up poor go insane after winning the lottery, imagine growing up rich, loosing touch with reality and consequently humanity. I don't know anyone rich either but their perspective on what's a lot of money and ours is vastly different, like the money he brought to free Yeon-oh, he could've taken it back after beating up that loan shark but he didn't, it was spare change for him.
One part I slightly disagree is the initial thought he had about Yeon-oh while making the deal, at first he didn't give a damn but I think seeing him suffer as he brought him to the hospital after he collapsed in front of his car, has made him contemplate his decision whether he should suffer along with his dad or if he was a victim just like him. That's how he went into the deal.
It didn't change most of his actions, he was just as cold most of the time but I want to believe he thought about his humanity just a slight bit and now even more so. Did you see the new chapter? That was huge development for him, Kwon was honest for the first time ever. I like this direction and hope we see more!
omg I wrote you a whole essay I'm so sorry!!
Lol, no worries, it’s fun when people engage (as long as everything is kept cordial). True, he did show concern back when he re-encountered Yeon-oh when he was in high school, but I think by he time he proposed to sponsor him, he wasn’t thinking about the kid he knew back in the day. Honestly, all the shitty things he’s done to Yeon-oh haven’t even been done consciously. He just realized last chapter after watching the video of his assault just how shitty he’s been to him as well.
And yup, I did see the latest chapter. I hope he’s finally able to vocalize his feelings. He’s been so emotionally numbed for so long, that he’s not allowing himself to feel what he’s feeling.
