I have a lot of to say about this manga. First of all I thought that was really dumb because how can I believe that a 33 years old English gentleman didn't even heard about sex? Ok, ok, I can get through this. And then, although the smut scenes was great drawed I got a bit concerned cause that was not much consensual. Chris didn't even know what he was doing despite the fact he is 33 old but Shou sure forced him. I don't like rape as a form of love (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜. Kaaay in the end they endep up falling in love with each other and being a sweet and horny couple. Ok ok that was not so bad, a really dumb but kinda sweet story.
But now my most polemic commentary about this manga.
IT'S NOT HISTORICAL!!
Ok ok people you must think I am in nuts but I'm not! As you see I the story there isn't anything saying this is happening in the XIX century. AND in the beginning of the story Shou is living in a pretty modern tent. People around him, as Shou himself, is using modern clothes (as you can see too with the guesses in the end of the story). I THINK it's just look like XIX century because Chris lives this way, but actually they take through modern age.
Your points are extremely valid but.... Its a yaoi. I admire your paragraph, however, here is not the place to count liabilities and erroneous details. If you truly wish to count the amount of discrepancies in unerring information I suggest a science fiction book. I'd reccomend "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley.(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Oh, darling, I think I already knew it's a Yaoi manga. And I already read Frankstein and others science fiction, thanks for the recommendations. What I am saying here that's not because it's a Yaoi manga that have to be dumb. As you must know there's a plant of works that is well done and really good to read despite its Yaoi. But if you liked it good for you!
I understand what you mean. There is even a discrepancy in the Peerage. He went from a descendent of an Earl to a Baron. There is a huge difference in that. However, I love this mangaka's works simply because of the way she writes them. She doesn't leave you looking for details like a Naruto manga would, she doesn't leave you feeling depressed in any way. Instead, she lets you concentrate on the ridiculousness of her plot and they sheer comedy of her characters. So, I usually don't even notice all the details in her works and I simply read it so I can unwind and wake up in the morning slightly happier than the past night. I also try not to take in too many details so I can come back and read her works again so there is still a little mystery left I haven't explored.
A really cute and different manga! Unlike people in the commentaries O really liked Takao. I think his twisted personality it's all because of his split family and money issues. Anytime here he came to Kayano only because of his money. Yeah, that one time in the end he was kind of a jerk (not defending the attitude but I THOUGHT he was trying to realize his feeling by making Kayano jelous, but he really didn't need to). I don't always like the type of devilish uke but Takao caught my attention, and I really like this story. If anyone's reading this for recommendations I do recommend!
Why people keep hating the uke? If that was the seme sleeping around would it be ok? (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
I would hate the seme if he was rge one sleeping aroud and treating like shit the uke
I think it's the way he's cruel to Amano. He keeps him around, has him do things such as holding his hand as he falls asleep, has him listen to him having sex with other guys, and he KNOWS the kid is in love with him and has been since high school so that's what 11 or 12 years now?
It's really cruel. Like holding a candy in front of a crying kid and eating it and laughing at their tears.
It's not that he's a slut...it's that he plays with Amano's heart.
You are right.
The guy is young and free, he can have sex with anyone he wants, whenever he wants... but he is being super cruel with Amano and taking adventage of his feelings, on purpose. :'(
It doesn't make any difference if it's the uke or the seme sleeping aroud, and the bad thing isn't the fact that he's sleeping around, he's not dating anyone so he isn't cheating on anyone either.
But he is having sex in front of someone who is in love with him, doesn't even bother to warn him he will have a fling that afternoon, or something... And even if Amano wasn't infatuated with him, it's rude to have sex in front of your roommate. :/ And then he punches him in the groin and in the stomach... when he doesn't do anything else than help him and support him.
He's a little jerk
(although the puppy guy is not defending himself either)
At first the third story was a bit like The beauty and the beast
