Wow, you don't see many yaoi manga (Is that right?) that have plots in historical settings like this. There are though many interesting plots in the modern world that can be very catching (I can't find a better word right now), and have lots of plot twists, story and character developments. But Historical is either too confusing or not long enough and they skip right through to the end really quickly. From what I have read anyways.
But this story seems like it has a ways to go (Which is exciting to know!) and has so much more to give. Plus many characters in here and stories to learn. I'm so excited for the next chapter! I just hope they don't rush to the end.
Sometimes I wondered who was the worst. One, the cheater (Yuuji) or two, the guy who was cheated on (Chika). I for one have zero tolerance for playboys, cheaters and people who toy around with ones feelings. It felt like agony as a read through this manga as I wanted to punch both of the main characters, seriously, if this was love it's scary!
Also, this had to be the first yaoi manga where I loved the female cast. The girls who played around, not so much, but those girls who are friends with Chika. God I felt like they were the realist thing in this story. Most manga have girls as stuck up, rude women or rivals. So it was nice to see real women, even the ones who did play around had some pride.
I was not prepared for this. I love happy endings, when no matter how much the struggle is through the story, if it ends happy then I'm okay. I even had this hope for this story. But instead I had my heart crushed and it took me forever to stop crying as I could feel for both these characters.
Yes, I understood they couldn't be together, and I'm glad that the main guy (can't remember his name at this moment) did pull through and stayed strong. But it was still a sad story, bitersweet to the end. This is one of the only stories I cried at... Except for Hybrid Child because that was also sad.
Me too. I've been reading yaoi for a long time and never has any manga been able to draw more than a tear from my eyes but now I am sobbing my eyes out.
I tend to stay away from sad manga so maybe that's why but this broke and crushed my heart.
I feel so sad now.
Well... Things escalated quickly.
I was expecting a Slice of Life, School and/or Comedy and how the main character deals with his issues, *cough* with smut obviously. Then rape comes in, not that I mind, exciting development. But most rape in Yaoi isn't taken seriously, and usually isn't done well sadly. Anyways, I hope it continues smoothly and doesn't collapse because I was really liking this manga. xD
