This deserves 5 stars no... 6 STARS!!! Actually 10 stars! This was sooooooooo good. Healthy, wholesome, relationship conflict and resolution. No crazy misunderstandings. Switching, understanding your partner, friendships, networking, thinking of your future and how it includes your partner.
Must read, cutest couple I've read in a long time. Would recommend. I need more. Both hot, cute, sexy, beautiful, perfect, etc. Gem of a manga. This feels like a normal gay relationship. Lots of love and patience.
This feels more like a mans fantasy than a woman's....( -ω-) it's not giving romance
That's what I have been saying!! This whole thing serves the porny male gaze!
-Female is forced to give a long painful and boring BJ
-Female gets denied intimate pleasure and instead gets jackhammered dry by the male
Non of these scenarios are prioritizing the female pleasure. Even though the smut was supposedly made for women, it's still created from the male's point of view
4life that is exaaaactly it!
Its just giving wealthy military guy has hot spy gifted to him by his enemy. He gets Intel, can torture, rape, then use hot spy for his benefit and has no care for her pleasure.
It just felt so weird that the guy on her side also did a switch up. Like none of the men in this story are looking out for her and quick to throw her under the bus. She's being used by them all. It's not giving love.
yeb, no love and no care on the male's part. Just pure animalistic sex devoid of intimacy and romance.
And the fact that his treatment will only get more shitty in the upcoming chapters makes it even worse!
What's the point of it being a female focused work if it's not even going to focus on the female pleasure?
the female character is being trashed around by male characters instead of being desired and cherished!
unfortunately even in female friendly smuts we are still not free from the male gazeyporn.
I have to disagree I feel it is very female gazed but it is noncon which whatever you dislike or not a lot of women are actually into watching/reading stuff with that type of content. Just see how many read yaoi with rape and yaoi in general is for straight women..
I kinda find noncon hot tbh, but I wish at least the ML liked her for more then just her body though
Its not giving female noncon is what I'm saying. When women have noncon fantasy they usually picture a man doing whatever they want to the woman but it ultimately feels good.
They fantasize of noncon to take away the option to say no. Its a way to say yes without taking responsibility for the act. To have a man or woman do whatever they want because its you and with the goal to please you to make you enjoy the act to want to do the act with them even more. And to give the whole power dynamic roleplay as well.
So far it feels like a male smut manga just focused on the woman instead to give the impression that at some point she's gonna fall in love and want this. At no point in the chapter is she enjoying it. Even in her thoughts.
Man this should come with a trigger warning. I was not expecting amazing plot to jump out at me like that!!(╯!°o°)╯╧╧
When you read the first couple of chapters, you're expecting mindless smut and little conflict, then get together. But the reveal towards the second half sends you on a journey! Wholesome plot, dark twists, yummy smut, great art, ending that makes you want more. Being 14 chapters is a crime considering I thought this was gonna be dumb due to the name drick. Worth a read and a sequel.
This is one I've been meaning to finish. It was something...I'm just a bit disappointed? The premise was intriguing, the drama was crazy, the relationships were all very engaging. I like how connected characters were. The different perspectives and motives. This is one you end up binging. The last volume though felt so rushed. Though, I could tell the author really wanted to leave on a good ending.
The author kept putting multiple characters through horrific traumatic events, ones they seemed to emphasize being awful. Yet characters would let things go, forget or react the same before the trauma. Heck one character gets stabbed but everyone is like "save him" "save yourself" "you stabbed him but I saved him so be mad at me"... Yeah your brother was gang raped, used as an object, and destroyed but he's still smiling and I was raped in the past too so feel sorry for me cause my man is here to comfort me now unlike then. It's all ok.... Then we jump to the future and everyones happy?
We dont even get any resolution on how the caste commitee reacted to azusa burning the king card. Or how anyone else reacted to the caste game being abandoned. It's all shoved together and finished withing 2 chaps.
Honestly without the BL, and rape I could've seen this as some shounen trope manga where the friendship surpasses everything in the end. It felt like they wanted to make a message about societal appearance, roles, artificial casting, self handicapping, undeserved privlidge, hierarchy etc.. but couldn't stay on track or only had one goal.
This doesn't even cover azusa's or karino's character development. He goes from being an ahole to somewhat nice because he's being raped and atsumu shows him unconditional kindness. They do have their moments though. But like c'mon azusa has shown visceral hatred for Karino at points. There needs to be more than he decided to stay home for a few days and now karino saves him, gets beat up and all is good cause how strong and thoughtful of him to stand up for azusa finally.
It just was kinda flat towards the end. It's still great as a manga. The ending just left me wanting more and possibly a different development. All the volumes are great except the last. The only thing I like about it, is it finishes the story and at least they're happy. Glad to be done with this one finally.
