I know this is all fiction, but I kinda laughed a bit. The history buff inside me couldn't accept the Maharaja titles because India ended recognition of the Princely titles a short time after WW2.
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.
This latest chapter is nothing but just showing how badly people are hurt when something personal like their sexuality is horribly discriminated against. I feel so sorry for Kang.
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.
And don't forget fiction is fiction.
Yaoi logic > Real life
And story with substance > story with none
I wholeheartedly agree.
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.
I really don't mind rape scenes in yaoi, but it's just that sensei was very... Stupid? And with a weak character. And the seme was a shitty person? Also stupid. Nothing special here in this manga.
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 just learned that being able to actually see colors associated with emotion is a real, percievable thing. Emotion-color synesthesia is a natural process, to my amazement.
wow, i just searched it, and it's really cool (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Yusuke could have played the family card stronger to blast Itou into whatever dark hole he came out of. Family first, as is the general rule when you're an older brother.
Source: I'm an older brother.
As a younger sister I'll easily gave up and let my older sister do everything dor me lol
Oldest. Sister of three.
siblings>parents and everyone else.
Sibs need to respect your life vs theirs but know you make yourself strong to have strength in reserve for them. Listen, love, lead. The role of an older sibling.
(And I've told them repeatedly, I reserve the right to die first)
Romance AND real plot. Two really good things~
I especially like the wheeling and dealing that goes on, and how their love is affected by it (for better or for worse, less worse but yeah.) Akihito, ganbatte! Take back Katsuragi from your soon-to-be enemy.
