Literally, unless it is between your butt cheeks how could you not notice. I have a birthmark where his name is and I just turn my head and can see it in the mirror, lol.
Even though the art is stiff and the story tells more than it shows, there’s something about it that feels real.
The MC’s pain—being beaten, locked away, told he’ll never be enough—feels so raw that even the tiniest bit of hope hits hard. Just seeing someone he admires is enough to stop him from hurting himself.
And the ML isn’t some perfect savior either. He’s carrying his own weight, working young to support his family, and still chooses to reach out first.
Their connection feels so fragile, like something they’re both trying to protect without even saying it. It’s rough around the edges, but sometimes stories like that are the ones that stick the deepest.
This has to be one of the most emotionally layered backstories I’ve seen in a BL manhwa. It’s not just blackmail—it’s a slow, painful attack on his identity and his need to belong.
His adoptive brother resents him for being treated like a “real” son—same birthday, same gifts—when deep down, he’s seen as nothing more than a replacement for the twin who died. The blackmail builds from there: first threatening his place in the adoptive family, then ruining his career by exposing his parents’ crimes, then isolating him by threatening to reveal he’s adopted.
And when he finally finds a friend—someone who becomes his first love—the brother targets that too. He threatens to expose the photos, destroying not just that relationship, but his connection with his parents, his career, and everything he’s built.
It’s brutal, personal, and hits way harder than just “I’m going to leak something.” It’s about tearing him down from the inside out.
Omg, I am so happy to read another manwa from seme pov! In the beginning of my yaoi reading I hated reading seme pov but now I actively search for it. So fucking good.
I wish we explored MC’s super power more. I wish ML tried harder to learn who the uke was. He literally gave him his name. If he is such a big organization he should have done someone research. I wish ML felt more softness towards MC and decides to kill anyone who tried to harm him. MC’s shown so many signs of ptsd that ML is such an idiot. I am pretty sure MC will escape and then the chasing arc will start. Hope it’s a good chasing arc :(
This story gives me the same heart flutters as heartstoppers drama. So freaking cute. I love this concept. I am looking forward to learn the new character’s back story (and I’m like 80% sure we’re will be getting a second couple out of him ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
I’m in love. I feel like maybe ML also liked him in high school? Also I love MC with short hair. So cute (▰˘◡˘▰)
Read the first few chapters and gave myself the favor of reading the comments. I will drop. Not sure I am ready for an uber pitch black flag ML right now. Maybe another dark time in my life I’ll read this.
I don’t get all the hate. In real life people miscommunicate all the time. Both people happen to have trauma and ptsd. They aren’t the best communicators. I am enjoying this story. Can’t wait to see what happens. Hope they get an happy ending with tons of psychiatric therapy (the latter is unlikely, lol). Only issue is sometimes the pp looks like it’s gone necrotic, lol. Like it’s a different color each scene.
Holy shit. In the beginning I thought it would be a nice fuzzy story of an abused person finding someone else. I am so glad it goes into the importance of becoming your own person rather than needing a partner. I seriously cried for like 2 hours straight reading this story.
lol, my disgusting mind thought something completely different when I read the summary. Particularly this phrase “ At a play that a friend invited him to watch because he cares about him”
Bro, he got confessed to by a high schooler in elementary school and punched by an adult in middle school for no reason? I need to see the back story to that. Can’t just throw a bomb and not explain it, lol.
Just got all the novel volumes and plan to read the manhua once I finish reading it :)
Their relationship is so toxic but who cares. I liked it, especially the side characters. And like the comment section, I wish Daniel found himself in an alternative universe and had a better life. I miss Daniel. He had such a strong personality ╥﹏╥
The first time I tried reading this I was super new to omegaverse so it weirded me out. But now I I can see how amazing this story was. I am in love
My mind has been destroyed by so many toxic manwa. I legit thought that there was going to be a time skip and the younger brother was going to be seme (and obsessive to boot). Please don’t hate on me.
This is so much cuter and sweeter than I imagined it would be. I can already sense that they will be separated by the end of the season tho. I’m gonna cry so much when it happens.
