I feel so sorry for Siwon. He was bullied at school, raped, and had his rape video be passed around like some porn fetish. In his situation, I can sympathize why he would have chosen death over continued living since it was hell for him.
I do not like Woojin already, but he watches someone's ultimate humiliation and feels indifferent? Talk about heartless, but no reporting to the police either? Really the entire school is filled with people with bags of shit for brains.

Dunno about Ashihara, for someone as honest and trusting as Murakami, it is a rather lopesided and painful-to-watch love. Murakami tries so hard, but he has to shoulder all the blame.
It is a realistic love, but one that would require a lot of patience and tolerance. I hope that Ashihara can change for the better and see the consequences of his words on Murakami.

All this hate towards Maki, and I understand why. He used the coward's way out of a relationship, not saying anything while just ending it. I respect them both for coming up with a plan for ending the relationship, but clearly Maki didn't own up to his end of the agreement in the adult and mature manner that it was forged from.
However, all these death threats were also unsettling. He wants kids, but feels guilt with breaking up with the man he clearly loves. "If only he were a girl" is a statement, while selfish, that indicates Maki was not a completely heartless person.
In conclusion, the moral here I learned is to not be indecisive when in a relationship. You can't have everything, and you need to be honest. Otherwise you're going to hurt someone and regret it.

I liked the story about the businessmen the best. I don't understand what those women didn't like about the seme. He is very professional and efficent at work, can act like a gentleman when needed, can act all lovey-dovey, and is a beast in bed. Glad to know that the couple was happy, too bad no smexy scenes.
On the other hand, the story about the teacher and the student was rather dry and unimpressive. A teacher is a teacher, especially in the workplace. Drinking, smoking, watching porn in front of students? I thought it was very justified of the student uke to be very annoyed about those actions. And then the rape part too, what is the teacher thinking logically that led to that?! There was no apology for the action, no nothing. Just a student who wanted to one up a rather vulgar man, and then that said man just got a happy ending even though he committed a wrong?
It doesn't need to be all rosy and such, but it just leaves such a bad taste afterwards if a villian was rebranded as a good man simply because someone said he was.

Having another man's penis forced into your body must hurt, especially since an anus is not self-lubricated. Furthermore, said man insults you while doing it.
Rape is rape. Humiliation is humiliation. No going around it.

You can't argue logic with yaoi rape .... There is rape fantasy that plays with a more realistic depiction of rape ... and then there is this 'rape as cute and romantic' yaoi version that never gets called rape and quick starts a 'cute' relationship. It makes the story ridiculous. In this one, the abused is practically apologizing to his rapist. WTF.

Classic Stockholm Syndrome. Plain and simple. Not entertaining whatsoever. All I can see is that the teen went from hatred to some twisted form of love. Rapist went from powerlust to complete apathy, and the new man is a pervert who lusts after a rape victim and DOESN'T DO ANYTHING EXCEPT DECLARE HIS DESIRE TO CLAIM SAID VICTIM.
Like seriously, the response to a clear criminal act is rather ridiculously lackluster. (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜
I understand that a lot of people are standing up for Yuuki's friend, since he only knows and admires the "outer-shell" of Yuuki's personality. However, what I don't like is that he is going beyond the boundaries of friendship and actively intervening in Yuuki's personal life without fully understanding the situation. At this point, the friend is just acting like a fanatic who puts their idol on some pedestal, and who blows up at the first sign something they don't like occurs.
Furthermore all this commotion is starting to create the typical rumours that lead to the typical, senseless, illogical bullying at school. I am far more angry about that.
If I could, I'd like your comment twice!!!
Me too!!
