I don't think Mafuyu is using Ueno to get over Yuuki. Yuuki IS irreplaceable to Mafuyu but that doesn't mean he cannot fall in love with someone else. The time he shared and the memories he made with Yuuki are forever going to be with him and they're irreplaceable. Yes his heart is broken and he misses Yuuki but other people in his life can heal him — his friends, his family. Does this mean he's "using" them? We as humans move on from the death of our loved ones. And that's just how life is. We continue to live making new memories with other people in our lives. But this doesn't make the memories we made with our departed loved ones are any less significant.
So Mafuyu CAN love a new person. And I think he also knows very well that Yuuki is irreplaceable to him, that he still likes Uenoyama but they're both important. He says so to Hiiragi at the end of Ch 11. http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/given/mf/c3b7169df64ad239/Vol2_Ch11/pg-34/His song was a closure, a signal for him to move on. But he’s never going to completely “move on” from Yuuki. The feelings of grief, loneliness(and even happiness from their good times) are proof of how he was an important part of his life. But, that doesn’t mean, he should never be allowed to love a new person.
Mafuyu is actually very "mature" in this regard—he knows where his feelings stand. But he's also human. And he will struggle with his emotions (like his fear of losing a loved one because of a lack of communication), his relationship with Uenoyama will have ups and downs. But he's still moving forward. He's making music, he's making friends, sorting out his relationship with his old friends (hiiragi and shizusumi).
This is why I love sensei's work so much. The characters are so human. They have their struggles but they're moving forward and it pushes me to do the same. My goals seem reachable even if I'm struggling.

I bought the raws and am almost done cleaning ch14. I'm able to typeset too but my japanese is REALLY noobie. Can anyone translate? ;_;
i wish i could ╥﹏╥
i know this reply is late but 9 can try help!
I can definitely help- I have the Japanese volumes with me right now and I'm reading them
That’s the title of the official English version on tapas. It’s updated upto ch 25 and you can watch some ads to earn “coins” to u lock chapters. Links —> https://tapas.io/series/achm/
really, I don't understand why people thumbs down the comments that tell about tapastic. It is GRATIS geez! And unlike lezhin you can earn coins reaaally easily -.-
I read a lot of webcomics only by watching ads, without spending not even a cent! make an effort please! ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
It's probably because the ads aren't available to everyone, it really depends on your location(〜￣△￣)〜
Because if anyone suggest LINE or any official that's FREE these dumb ungrateful people don't want to really support authors (they just act like they do. Example, Lookism fans) and just make lame excuses. Like it's FREE which means no money you dummies.
And why I'm here is just for the comments not the comics ╮(￣▽￣)╭
maybe for someone, but the majority is just lazy!
anyway, I also purchased some additional coins using google opinion rewards. and also, there are often bonus coins, free keys etc... yes, you have to be a little patient but still..
Pretty selfish reason to be against sharing information about the official (〜￣△￣)〜
Casually laying down a comment here so I can remember to check it out.
I’m to lazy & tired from my volleyball match But I’ll look into it tomorrow :)
I know I've said this before, but I'll say it again. If you're against my translations, or the posting of this manhua on mangago, then why tf are you reading it here? You're a calling the readers here lazy just because they don't want to watch ads, yet YOU still came here to read?! Talk about being a hypocrite. Also, to this anonymous person, what do you mean selfish?! If you can't watch ads, that's a pretty valid reason to not use the official site. Also, no one was against the official site, it's just that I was annoyed that the whole comment section ONLY ranted about using the official site! So, if y'all think reading the manhua on mangago is selfish and whatnot, just stop being a hypocrite. (︶︿︶)＝凸
Where did you see "reading on mangago is selfish" ?
It's selfish to be "against sharing sharing information about the official" because of your personal problems. It's like saying "don't share the information because I can't use it". That's selfish when it can help someone else (〜￣△￣)〜
Still the people unable to watch any ads are in the minority. As lemon said Tapas frequently gives out free coins/keys without having to do a thing. All you have to do is press a button that says okay. I've gotten 1000 coins this month from doing almost nothing. I agree most people are lazy when getting free coins is an option but they say that's too much work.
"You still came here to read"? Do you assume that no one here was aware of this manhua being on tapas until you started translating? No, there were people who knew about it before it was here and never read it on mangago.
You're making this personal when no one has said a thing about you or your translations. I repeat the comments were not about you. They were not about your scanlation. I don't understand why promoting the official site annoys you so if you're not against people using the official. The author said they want to write more BL. Having good sales would help with that so more people using the official would be a good thing! Why does it matter if people read your translations or the official? It's not like you own any of it.
That said, you might want to check yourself before shouting that anyone else is a hypocrite. Saying "I'm not against people using the official" and "people talking about the official annoys me" sounds hypocritical to me.
Exactly!! I try post a link to the official one in most webtoons I read. A lot of them have a couple of free chapters. Or like this one - which is A LOT ahead (and better in terms of quality of pictures and translations). Maybe the people who are willing to watch ads or pay will find it useful. But if you aren’t able to, why downvote?
I don't read it here on mangago ;) but since it has been updated here, I came to tell people that there is an official translation, because many simply doesn't know it. And if you can pay for chapters by watching ads you should do, even just one! And if you can't watch ads, there are bonus coins once in a while, so there are NO EXCUSES ;)
Oh and YES, if you don't WANT (not Can't) to watch ads to read something for free, then you ARE lazy. It means that even if you have the possibility to support the artist, you CHOOSE to NOT do it. Aaaand that's not nice (▰˘◡˘▰)
Coming after work ready to get my smut reading on. Oh what's this? A female dog fight in the comment section? Even better.
btw I meant no offence in this comment. I'm just a joking type of girl and I apologize if someone found it to be rude.
No offense taken. I actually need to apologize (again) for starting a fight. I didn't mean anything rude to any of y'all. I just tend to randomly type stuff and argue with people online without even knowing it XD

I don't think a person like the uke would exist in the non-fictional world. I mean even if they do publish ero manga, the repercussions of sexually harassing a prospective employee would be pretty harsh (at least in the US). The seme would also probably get extremely creeped out at the uke's advances. Like it would never get to the uke blowing him. He could probably walk off and not be "held back" by the seme who just grabbed his hand. In the real world, no matter HOW turned on you are you wouldn't lose all reason and just give in. Like how often does this happen in the real world? Maybe it's slightly realistic if they're 15-16-year-olds but even then the repercussions of sexual harassment and rape would probably make them not get into a situation like that, to begin with. Being prisoned, being outcasted by society are pretty big consequences to most people - enough for their brains to go "wait, should i really be doing this?" before their "body starts acting on its own". There's a reason why countries, where it's "acceptable" to rape (like some muslim countries), have a very high rape occurrence.
In yaoi manga, it's usually shown that the seme is so horny and turned on from the uke that he loses all reason and just goes in raw. And the uke is also so turned on that despite him not wanting it, his body will usually "respond" and he'll end up enjoying it. In the real world, even if your body starts "responding" if you REALLY don't want it, you will have enough reason to oppose, stop the rape from occurring. Especially if you're not tied/pinned down and you are as strong as the person raping you. In the real world, people also don't immediately get a hard on just by being touched. Not everyone gets turned on by that kind of "play". Some people would probably just be so startled that they DON'T get turned on. The most annoying part is how the uke keeps interacting with the SEME like how the things he does are just his "bad personality". No one at my workplace makes more coffee if they take the last cup. That's annoying and we lightly joke about it - just like how the other employees in the manga joke about the seme sexual harassing and raping.
But this is the yaoi world. Here, people don't think of the repercussions of rape at all, everyone's so horny that they "lose all reason". Every uke gets hard and turned on just by being touched. So much that they get "weak" and can't resist. It also makes me wonder why these situations exist in yaoi a lot. Even r18 drama cds which are marketed towards straight females. Like do Japanese people just like this kinda stuff? I know people get turned on by the idea of being desired so much that they can't help it. But, there is usually communication. Rape play and stuff happens after you get comfortable with someone, after giving your consent, with a reserved safe-word and everything. I mean I know that japanese people don't communicate and talk about their true feelings(saying yes to invitations to "save face" even if you don't wanna go, stuff like that). So maybe if they get turned on by the idea of forced sex, they can't talk about it because it's "embarrassing" so they just expect to get raped and when that happens, they just half-heartedly resist while actually enjoying it.
Is their definition of rape different from ours? Where is the line where it's being seduced vs being forced?
My thought is that this place is just filled with preteens trying to be edgy and define their own social rules and stigmas, without actually being must part of society, who only point fingers and name call. As though everything belongs in black and white categories so story antagonists and plot devices must be approved by the masses in a chapter to chapter basis because they treat it as though stories should not have any flawed personalities and the sins of story characters are sins of the authors, readers, and the society, that they stay away from. Merely watching from a comfortable window because it's easier than thinking about it, and it's too convenient to think it's some sort of virtue to voice an opinion about every little thing to gain artificial approval to amplify the ego.
You know, i would have agreed with you except there is one extremely big mistake which well...whether you thought was a mistake or not... i had to point out and that is that muslim countries accept rape. As far as i know there is NO religion that accepts rape, so being racist against religions or whatever the word is, is rude and unreliable. And as for the japanese liking rape, i cant say whether they do or not, but again, many but not all of these works are created by young people so it could just be a thing. Either way, while your question is fairly valid, its better not to make assumptions without research.
So that is what i have to say and i am not trying to criticise or pick on your comment, i merely wish to draw and figure out the truth to your assumptions "the muslims and japanese accept rape".
Ah, I put "acceptable" in quotes because my post was already getting too long to argue semantics. Sure, in recent years, laws have been changing to be less forgiving to WOMEN(yes WOMEN) but Islam as a religion DOES have very dubious laws about rape and violence. So maybe not "accepting" as you seem to think that is "rude" and "unreliable".
But the laws rarely if ever protect the women who have been raped. Sharia law requires FOUR witnesses to prove that a woman has been raped or the perpetrator to confess that he did the raping. But this rarely EVER happens. Look into wiki and other sources and see how Islam law (which is accepted by countries) say about it. From ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_violence): "Most cases of prosecutions are when the woman becomes pregnant, or when she has been raped, seeks justice and the sharia authorities charge her for zina, instead of duly investigating the rapist."
Here's more: "Zina only applies for unlawful sex between free Muslims; the rape of a non-Muslim slave woman is not zina as the act is considered an offense not against the raped slave woman, but against the owner of the slave." So rape of "slaves" are acceptable. And it's viewed as a wrong-doing to the OWNER of the slave.
I could go on about stuff like honor killings (link below), honor rapes and much more. Rapes and abuse that happen in marriages have no consequences. Even though Islam itself doesn't condone it, there is nothing to protect women. And when they cannot take the abuse and ask for a divorce or she tries to run away, they are "honor killed". Just google "honor rape" and see what that turns up.
So maybe rape isn't exactly acceptable but laws which let people get away with perpetuating it and essentially do NOTHING to protect thousands (the number is impossible to estimate) of victims dying and suffering is "accepting" rape. It's letting it happen, letting perpetuators get away with it. And there are more perpetrators who will continue because they know that no matter what the "law" says, they CAN get away with it.

As for my assumptions about Japanese people and communication, I do think there are research that show that japanese people are more polite and care more about how they will be perceived than getting what they actually want to say across(link below). Just do a quick google scholar search. My other projection about rape-play and communication are just that, thoughts that came across my mind - posed as a question. I don't mean to make any general assumptions but wanted to see what people's thoughts are on this. I couldn't find much research on it and don't speak japanese and can't directly ask Japanese people. But if I were to find more info on it, it would be great. At the time being I'm happy to hear other people's thoughts on it.

Sorry but i did not read any of that. Too long
Ha and you tell me that I'm being "rude" and "unreliable". I recommend doing some research yourself. But then if you can't read a reply that might be too much for you.
It's not okay to take out your frustrations and anger on someone else. But, it's also not easy to deal with stuff like how Taesoo has been doing for the past several years. But if he recognizes that he's hurting Sooha, that he needs space and he decides to move out, I think that's very admirable.
I know I've been horrible to my partner and went to live with my parents when I realized I was not being fair. The decision was hard and it took an immense amount of courage to move away, from him, from my home that I felt the safest in. I knew I was loved but knowing that he trusted me enough to let me figure things out on my own helped me so much when I was struggling. When I came back, our relationship was stronger. I really needed that time to introspect by myself, time to miss him and appreciate what he is to me, what he does for me everyday.
With moving out, Taesoo will get some space to get his things in order. I'm sure his brother will want to live with too (at least until he finds a place of his own or Taesoo and Sooha can be open about their relationship). And he won't be taking out his frustrations on Sooha. It'll probably help their relationship more.
Also, I think Taesoo is basing his decision from experience. I mean, he and his ex were in a stressful situation before and that did not end well, so there's that. I'm really hoping the blonde gets her karma big time.
