I'm happy most of us in the comments are understanding of what's going on but! For those feeling icky abt this situation, let's all remember this is fiction! Which means, the purpose of their dynamic rn is about pleasure and absolving guilt (i.e, the guilt of wanting pleasure). This isn't to be taken at face value as Lyle not wanting things, it's simply a way to keep him "untainted by lust" while still giving him the pleasure he will not admit to wanting. It may still be an uncomfortable read for many people, as nothing is ever universally relatable, and that's totally valid! But do keep in mind that fiction should be separated from reality so no one enjoying this is actually advocating for such an unbalanced relationship think of it as one big bdsm (focus on dom/sub) play even before the sex started. The play doesn't define the people in it nor does it say much about their actual morals and attitude.

Now let's all just enjoy some kinky sex, si vous plait ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

    Thank you! The way Lyle grew up/has had to live makes it difficult for him to admit his actual desires. I feel like Ash being the way he is balances that out nicely in my opinion.

I was scared abt the second couple but honestly they're perfect for eachother. Crazy maniac and a guy with an "abnormally sound" mind to keep him in check? Quite literally match made in heaven.
Also loved the first couple. Promiscuous bottoms are top tier, and their dynamic is so entertaining!

Wait, we... we lost big, burly Abel? Plain himbo Abel was switched for fairy-looking twink Abel? Why is the world so cruel ☹☹☹

Loving this already!!! I love how even if Noumi is all carefree about his life, he still takes philosophy seriously. The manga title referencing The Apology of Socrates is also *chef's kiss*

It would be really funny if these two didn't, in fact, have secondary sexes, and were just freaky like that

Okay this is surprisingly nice??? From the description and first chapter I thought Higuchi was going to be more of an ass with Hazuki, but he's actually so nice??? Though he's kinda mean in a kinky sense lol

Anyways I'm excited to see how this plays out! I hope Hazuki doesn't shoot himself in the foot for too long with this "I'm sure he doesn't mean it" bs

Honestly the first chapter did a stellar job in making me relate to Hotta (the gathering without him... ouch. I get you Hotta)... accepting Ryota's confession out of "spite" was harsh, but I couldn't really hate him. In the end, he ended up liking Ryota so it's fine I guess? But then, when they broke up in such a real way (that phone call has 100% happened to someone before), everything resolves itself in one page. Ryota says he still wants to date Hotta - not even that he likes him! - and then everything is just fine. *That* was a let down, unfortunately. I couldn't sympathize as much with Ryota since we don't see his side of things, and in the end even if he had that puppy-like attitude, he *did* assault Hotta and then did not even try to make a case for himself when Hotta asked him if he started liking him because he looked like his ex.

I understand irl people don't start relationships with Romeo & Juliet levels of love for eachother and stuff, but that is also exactly why the two of them getting back together despite everything that happened felt so sudden. If they at least had talked things out first (instead of jumping into being back together and then fucking) this would have been a better read.

This wasn't "fast paced", per se, it was more like there were a lot of moments that seemed to be "cut off"-- like we're getting glimpses into what could have been a really intricate story. As it stand though, I still like it. Confusing storytelling is something I really enjoy reading actually, so tbh I'm not bothered at all by "what has been cut off" from the storyline ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ although it does make the more lovey-dovey(?) scenes with these two seem a bit out of place. I can see their dynamic working, but it also seems like they've been together for longer than they actually have? In a way.

There is a very somber vibe in this one, too, and I gotta say I really enjoy it. The author can really nail unsettling scenes! While Kabukichou Bad Trip was a much healthier couple, I'd love to see Nagisa-sensei try to make an "off-putting", maybe obsessive couple. It'd be sooo interesting...

It's a cute story, but the characters feel a little bland? I'd like it if they had something to their personality other than "being pretty has caused me trouble." Like, Mabuchi I can understand since he likes modeling, but what does Manabi even like...? Why are they majoring in sociology, of all things? I feel like I know nothing about these two

PLEASE give us the third volume (also Juri and Kou's spin-off) I am on my hands and knees begging...... they are so fucking cute I need them in my life.........
