Sephy

The seme did rape the uke when they were stuck together. Tsugumi literally says « I don’t want this » and the seme says « well too late » LMAO. And it’s the same rapey philosophy as the other yaois with the uke saying afterwards that he didn’t hate it. Idk this isn’t as progressive as it portrays itself… Megumi even admits he wouldn’t have been interested in Tsugumi in the first place so it does kinda feel like it was his pheromones and the fact that they fucked that bought them together. Though feelings were developed later on it didn’t feel as though they shared a special connection. Tsugumi even says that Megumi is the first one that liked him and he liked in return. Moreover the side characters aside from the parents and the little sister are kinda flat. (They’re my favourite)
Introducing the childhood crush just to have Tsugumi be jealous was totally a mistake. If the author was that bored they should’ve wrote some side couples or expanded on Tsugumi’s parents (though it’s the exact same dynamic).

So to sum up,
Mine loves Hiroi romantically and for that he’s willing to put up with threesomes with Take.

Hiroi likes Mine almost as a toy and for that, wants to share him with Take.

Take doesn’t want anything to do with anyone unless it’s someone who loves Hiroi AND accept to be shared.

Take and Hiroi are just besties.


All is fine until Hiroi feels jealous the two have better sex compatibility and tries to hide his jealousy multiple times by being manipulative (he has sex with Mine without Take but because he feels guilty for not honouring their agreement and for doing something he thinks Take is too loyal to do, he suggests the two have sex separately too when he KNOWS mine hates Take and Take doesn’t like not involving him)

Take too is dishonest with his feelings because he says he dislikes Mine but loves fucking him. He doesn’t admit to fucking Mine when Hiroi wasn’t there. He also didn’t stop fucking Mine when he knew Hiroi was asleep. His buried feelings come out as violence against Mine because Mine unlike the previous partners still loves Hiroi and wouldn’t want anything with just Take. But Take would totally fuck Mine without Hiroi being there, so long as Mine still loves Hiroi. For that Take likes Mine so much he marks him and buys him an ashtray. (My own opinion Take should grow some balls and affirm his individuality/ personal taste. But I guess he will never like someone who’s not Hiroi’s toy first. He just love Hiroi’s sloppy seconds)

Although Mine loves Hiroi and has little romantic interest towards Take, he prefers Take’s dick and rough sex over anything sexual happening between Hiroi and him. But he’s too ashamed to vocalise it and ask for Take’s dick until that chapter where he can’t take it anymore.

Hiroi is just narcissistic. He wants his cake and he wants to eat it too. AND he wants to share it too. He wants to be the most liked of the relationship yet wants the others to like one another too, just not as much as they like him. LOL. Greedy little shit. Anyway 10/10 for the interesting concept and unique dynamic.
