I can understand people having problem with the rape taken so lightly and used for comedic purpose in this manga.I don't particularly like the trope myself but i couldn't help but laugh and enjoyed this manga. It's funny, twisted and utterly enjoyable, ( well according to me of course). I love semes with personality, that stand out, even if they are a bit fucked up. It's fiction after all.
The thing with this rape trope though is that i tried to imagine myself if i would be ok if it was a woman in the place of the uke in this particular case . Would i feel the same thing, would i still find it funny and enjoyable? And i decided that yes, i still wouldn't have a problem. If fucked up things are explored and stay in the realm of fiction then there are things that i can be ok with.
I loved this manga! The story might not seem much at first, two friends become lovers, but as it progresses you can see the characters struggle with real problems and worries and mature.
Tsuji, he is my ideal uke. I loved his loyalty to Aizawa and his persistence.Though in the beginning he was kind of an airhead ,when he fell in love he fell hard and he wasn't going to give up on Aizawa or their relationship no matter what. Words can not describe how much i adore ukes that fight for their loved ones.
I liked the moments of seriousness, reflection about the future and, of course .the smart humor that this manga had. I couldn't stop laughing at the scene where Tsuji asked from Aizawa to give him back his manly purity and at the scene with the kid in the hospital. At first i was like, when did Tsuji had big interjections in his butt and i missed it and then i was like... fucking hell, you're talking about that kind of injections? Hilarious!
So, to sum up, Tsuji and Aizawa are definitely one of my all time favorite manga couples. When i finished the story, there was no doubt in my mind that those two loved each other and they would do whatever it took to keep being together. I wish there were more couples like this.
Kokonoe is one of the cutest, most adorable little dumplings of uke i have ever seen !!!
Jesus Christ, at some point i couldn't breath from laughing.
I stopped at the first story... The first uke can go and fuck himself ... bitch you don't deserve happiness hurting that boy the way you did. Low life punk.
Oh, and and seeing how much negativity my evil comment generated, i wonder if it was the other way and it was the seme doing the same thing to the uke, how many here would say the same thing that i did and trash the seme like crazy... Just wondering.
By the way, i'm a firm believer of trashing everybody equally. High five for equality.
The premise of the manga was really interesting but the execution seemed half developed, rushed and lacking... Frankly, i expected more because it started so good but in the end i was kind of dissapointed.
Practically the whole manga is devoted to the character of the seme,Mitsuya: we get to see what he thinks, feels, his obvious love for the uke but when it comes to Noboru, we don't get to see practically anything about him. Suddenly few pages before the end and after Mitsuya's confession to him, Noboru proposed to him to start dating because ''he was curious about sex and what they had to loose after all,'' right? Where's the uke's love? Where are his feelings for the seme? I felt like Noboru was ready to experiment with same-sex sex and since Mitsuya happened to be there, he might as well use him.
Frankly at first i expected the uke to be Yanase, the office sempai, because he had more interaction with Mitsuya.
This is a good manga but it definitely needed more development. Unfortunately, as it is it feels as if someone told the mangaka to hurry up and make an ending leaving a lot of things to be desired.
A bit random here but my God, i can't stop laughing at the comments here. They are so creative and hilarious! They remind me of myself when i'm angry at a character and want to punch my pc screen.
Jesus Christ, the first story was fucked up. The seme was a psychopath, man. I kept reading the pages fearing that in the next one i would see Akio's severed head next to Ryou's sleeping body. Those two people needed a good shrink and to stay the hell away from each other because what they had was the epitome of unhealthy relationship.
I loved the art in this manga ; it's clean, detailed and the mangaka's use of shadows and background images made it extremely appealing visually.
The story is interesting and emotional. Personally, I would have liked less time spend on the feelings of the uke about the other brother and the misunderstandings because of them, and more time devoted on the couple and their feelings for each other. But either way, i really enjoyed it. I liked the fact the there wasn't much sex and all the intimate scenes were subtle and on the erotic side rather than explicit. Definitely a reread manga for me.
