Wild that the uke’s chemistry with the seme’s bestfriend feels more comfortable and healthier than the relationship we actually get. If you’re such a grumpy and detached person that your friends have to “explain” your personality to your potential partner or speak on your behalf to make you seem like a better person, that’s not good. We are told that the seme brags about uke at work, but that’s the problem- we are TOLD about it and have to take people’s word for it. It would have been more reassuring to actually see seme do that and speak fondly about uke. I hate that this is uke’s first relationship, because he deserves to be with the best and this doesn’t feel like that. This seme definitely feels like one of those first-time dating mistakes you make when you’re young and not used to romance and think your emotionally stunted, “mean-to-everyone” boyfriend is the best it can get. I want better for him, this relationship will be an emotional draining one for sure. Especially when he gets tired of being treated like a maid.
In the end, he doesn’t stop him from doing what he loves to do. Usually in comics like this, one person gets too jealous so the other has to stop stripping or doing sex work, but here it’s shown in a positive light as something that is actually being enjoyed as a legit job. They worked out some compromises, and seme even gets to support behind the scenes. It just feels refreshing.
Welcome back, Jujucat! Thank you for coming back to this one, despite everything. I always appreciate your hard work! =^.^=
