Chapter 5 is my favorite, it was so HOT. The sex on the bridge was VERY EXTREME but I think the narrative had a deep relateable context, like the fact that Tsubaki was depressed at the fact that society demands that men should marry women and have children and forgo any desires one has. But deep down he was sexually attracted to men and weird and crazy as it maybe Jin helped awaken Tsubaki's desires by molesting him.

DAMN MAN, didn't see that one coming!O_O

Yet the top tags are litteral "rape", "abuse", and "violence"...

Ignore the previous comment I just wrote. I didn't see the tags when I was reading this, half the time I don't pay attention, so please if you be so kind as to not to be a total smart-ass and point it out because I this a long time ago and I simply here to read manga NOT PICK FIGHTS okay. Please don't be a shitty person!

Wow even as a child Kurose is very bold, it's like he was born naturally gifted at sex!!!X3

Yeah, this has kind of taken a creepy turn.

Have you read the translation for chapter 31 ? It seems you haven't b/c if you had, you wouldn't say that. Kurose isn't using Shirotani as a replacement. Actually, it seems Nishigaki commit suicide. Since then, Kurose wanted to save someone like Nishigaki. When Kurose met Shirotani, he initially just wanted to cure him then fell in love with him.
Besides, I don't think Kurose was even in love with Nishigaki. He was just so lonely and this person was the only one who paid attention to him. Well, it's true he sort of assaulted him 0//////0 but he was just a child...

You are thinking of it like an adult. Little Shirotoni wanted to prove he was special--because he didn't think his parents found him to be so. Since he knew the person he wanted to feel special to had a germ phobia, forcing contact and licking proved he was the one--the only one--allowed to do such things. Touching was something others would not be allowed--but just special Shirotoni. Licking is full of germs, but special Shirotoni germs. It was meant to prove something but instead, it freaked out the person Shirotoni wanted to claim. That's because as a child, Shirotoni didn't really fully understand.

Don't you mean Kurose

There is nothing to apologize for. Everyone make spelling mistakes

All I'm understanding from this is Kurose craving attention that he never gets from his parents that ended up being twisted and resulted in the onii-san distancing himself or should I say cutting him off. I saw chapter 31 raw and as soon as Kurose first glanced at shirotani that onii-San came to mind so... but I still love them both and feel like they can both get past their troubled pasts together by getting it on every now and then

I am probably not very clear today. I mean that although Kurose had feelings, they were a child's feelings. The pounce and lick were not necessarily the same as if they came from an adult. I'm not saying there isn't a sexual element, but it is more direct and needy, and more based on the idea of being special. It isn't exactly like an adult pouncing.
I think that although the initial attraction may have had some roots in this experience, what developed was more of an adult relationship with mutual feelings. I don't think Kurose is twisted exactly. This is just part of how he became who he is.

It's true that these flashback chapters make me a little sad, not just because Kurose's parents are FUCKING ASSHOLES but now I have to question why Kurose loves Shirotani to begin with and I don't want to think it's because of his Mysophobia or that he's thinking about Nishigaki when they're together. I think that might kill me a little inside but I don't think I would be able to hate him though, the first reason is the fact that he's FUCKING HOT and the second reason is that through both perspectives both Shirotani and Kurose are just two people who went through some hardships trying to get through life the best way they can much like everyone in this crazy world. And through unique circumstances they found each other and found love in their own way and are trying to let go of the past to live a happy present and a potential happier future. That's my perspective anyway, if you found my eariler comment weird before I apologize but I guess it's because I LOVE KUROSE-KUN SOOOOO MUCH and the scene in the chapter caught me by surprise!!!>_<

I didn't find your earlier comment weird at all! Just that you were FAVORING KUROSE a bunch and turning his weak moments into something positive but I am all for shirotani I really love them together and believe they can get through whatever might come there way BUT shirotani is really earnestly looking and craving Kurose. So hopefully he dosent get hurt because of Kurose indecisiveness about what feeling he honestly has for shirotani (but where's the fun in that huh?)

I don't want you to think I was being insensitive, I love Shirotani too I think he's adorable but I really LOVE Kurose. Sometimes I'll comment about the serious and emotional tone of the engrossing narrative and sometimes I like to find the lighter side of yaoi itself such as the surprising eroticism of young Kurose or Shirotani being lustful during sex. I'm just fangirling in my own way, it's my thing. I love Ten Count with all my heart and I look forward to new chapters everytime they come out, it's what makes my life worth living!!!:3

My prediction is that Makoto comes back to life but is no longer human, which will probably force Keigo to make a difficult choice. But the ending of the first chapter has me pondering, one of them mention the greek tale Pygmalion so I wondering if it's implying that these "mascots" were brought to life, or they possessed, or maybe they're aliens or possibly demons GOD I REALLY WANT TO KNOW!!!>XO
Another great MakoHaru sexfest!!!XD
