Local man gets screwed over by everyone except his actual girlfriend.
After she died, she screwed him over, too! Didn't want him to forget her or have anyone else or to even have a job.
IMO Tanemura's biggest weakness in story telling is having all the male characters fall in love with the heroine, but now she doesn't even limit herself to just that - in this story she takes it to another level and even the girls and gays fall in love with the MC. I love how all her characters always have deep backstories and motivations, but because of the harem issue I always relate to the side characters more. Otherwise the story is ok, the art is super beautiful as always!
Dojin has got to be the most patient seme ever. I would've given up so many times already if I was treated like that lmao
It bothered me way more than it should've that the person who scanned this had a hair fall out between the scanner and the book :_D It appeared many times in the bottom left corner and once I noticed it I couldn't unsee lmao. As for the story, it was nice how uke was more sexual than seme, who was more of a romantic :D
Haruka was treated very badly by the closest people in his life and then they made it seem like HE was the problem. He's only 15, his father acted distant towards him and then even developed a sexual relationship with the guy he KNEW his son liked. Haru said it well, "you're my dad only when it's convenient for you". Tama doesn't talk about his feelings even after Haru asked him to, then gets mad when Haru doesn't magically understand his feelings. He gets called selfish and in the end he too believes he is selfish, which is heartbreaking. And when he's at his lowest, betrayed by the people he trusted, he wants to feel loved and wanted and ends up having sex with an adult who is known to have a thing for young girls (and boys), an adult who knows it's wrong, acknowledges it and does it anyway. I kinda wished Haru would've went to Paris with his mom, because she at least expressed that she loves and wants Haru around and not just treating him as an after-thought. I understand that this is an old manga, but that is mistreatment and emotional neglect of a child.
I love love LOVE stories like this where the MC doesn't end up with the "obvious" first choice but the one they have the best chemistry with! Great story and lovely art too.
