This story is very beautiful and heart breaking. I don't regret having read it even if I'm in tears now, but I would have loved to read a happy ending for this unusual couple.
I agree that the couple deserves a happy ending, but if they did the story and message itself would lose its poignant effect.
The way we relate to the seagull and the shark and the way the authors humanise them to help us better understand and feel for them, only to show how cruelly they meet their end really visualises how cruel and inhuman shark finning is.
Yes, you're totally right. I think the message is very clear and striking. The cruelty of this fishery for sharks fin is cleverly showed, and it is a good thing to denounce it. In that way, I think the sad ending was a good idea from the authors.
Actually, I would have prefered two stories with these characters: one with this plot and sad ending, and another with a happy ending. It's so unusual to see this kind of characters and story that I would have loved to see a "true and longer" love story between the shark and the seagull.
But I don't regret the work of the mangakas because their story was really brilliant and beautiful.
I know. The story makes me feel so emotional every time I read it.
Thank you for this new story. I like that mangaka so far. :)
This story looks good. It's funny to see Arimura being so honest about his hands fetish, and Yuasa always calling him a "pervert".
And it was very sexy to see Arimura licking Yuasa's fingers. I wish to see more sensual scenes like this in the next chapters. :D
This manga is really funny. It's starting to become a habit for Kurokawa to pick up Nekoya's clothes. But I can't stop laughing when I think of the thoughts Kurokawa (and the nurse) must have at these moments.
It's as if Nekoya sometimes likes to wander naked in the school.^^ It's normal!^^
It was really a great story, with an atypical seme.
I felt sorry for Yoshioka when he revealed he has indeed been raped. Even if it was almost sure considering his huge trauma, I still hoped that his attackers would have not done that.
Yoshioka is very brave to have asked his boyfriend to overwrite his memories and let him make love to him. And Kengo was the perfect boyfriend for Yoshioka, tender and patient, understanding and attentive. It hurt my heart when he said he would have liked to be one year older to be able to protect Yoshioka and be there for him.
I also like the fact that he went to see Yoshioka's rapist to try to "understand" and "help" his boyfriend, bringing him an apology. But he didn't even get one from this awful rapist who has no regret at all. It's a little frustrating that the rapist had nearly nothing. He's free and he's living his life without his conscious being troubled by what he did. If his destiny is fair, he would have a well-deserved bad luck all his life.
Anyway, I liked the end of this story and I enjoyed reading this manga. Thank you to the team which has worked on it, sharing it with us.
You could thank the team directly in their site, so they can feel your appreciation:

Done!^^ Thank you for the link :)
I don't know if it can be useful to someone but in France, the three volumes available has been released by the publisher "Taifu comics" and we're going to have the fourth volume next january (the 26th) so if you understand French, it's maybe a possibility for you to not have to wait until 2016 and 2017.
Sometimes, I buy BL mangas in English when we don't have them in French and I buy them via Amazon. It's more practical with this company and the shipping fees aren't too high.
That said, I'm also sad to see the end of the releases here. I enjoyed reading the new chapters and your comments here, and also talking with you about this poignant story. I hope august 2016 will come soon for those who are waiting for the books published by SuBLime because it's very frustrating to have to wait.
And a big thank you for the translator and the team who has worked on 10 count to share this superb manga with us.
I'm not sure what to think of Ed's intentions. Obviously, he wants to get rid of Yuuya, but why? Does he want Masaki for himself as a lover? Or does he "only" care for Masaki as a friend and wants to protect him from strangers (because he's mistrustful after what happened to Masaki's thesis)?
It's true that Ed is meddling in the affairs of Masaki and Yuuya and, if I were Yuuya, I wouldn't be very pleased of that, but maybe Ed isn't a rival...
Anyway, I like how this story evolves and I find Masaki and Yuuya so sensual together!! I also like Keigo and his true friendship with Yuuya.
I'm so happy to see an update for this story. Thank you.
It was so hot! Poor (but lucky) Keiichi! The twins don't seem to realize how much Keiichi is permissive with them: 8 hours of sex, let them cum 3 times each, etc. He must be exhausted (and, even if he's not old, he's not as young as his two horny lovers^^).
Furthermore, I can't believe how the twins are strategists to bring Keiichi in their bed.^^ It's funny. I really like this story and can't wait for the third chapter :)
Oh that cliffhanger!! So sadistic!
I appreciate this story and its slow pace. I hope that Yoshioka wasn't raped but I have a doubt considering his last words.
It's one of the things that I like in this story: it presents the theme of rape as something which is not normal and which is traumatic, unlike too many mangas. Kengo is understanding, sweet and tactful. He has desires, wants Yoshioka but can restrain himself when his boyfriend asks him to stop.
It's so satisfying to not see the sentence: "I can't take it anymore!" just before the poor uke who was saying "No!" is taken violently for the first time of the couple.
I'm looking forward to reading the next chapter. And thank you for the update.
Agreed
The other yaoi mangas like that mostly just entertain people with the do-do
While this one has quite a heavy plot and it's nice to read
The cliffhanger though gah
I hope whatever he has to confess was nothing like: "I was in love with the boy who bullied me and I was enjoing myself when they raped me" Because I'd be so angry. Like you said this manga shows the consequences of rape realistically and something like that would be so wrong, so sad.
I reaaaally like the way the seme is!
Thats a real man for sure!! <3
I agree with you :) he is what you expect a man to be
I thought that they raped him nd that was a fact.
Yes. That was rape. They forced him to give them blowjobs. That is definitely rape. But it wasn't clear if they penetrated him. Even if that's not what he is going to say, it doesn't change the fact that he WAS raped (it's not just penetration).
I mean... At least that's what rape means in my country. I'm not sure if in the English language that only means penetration.
I think it means the same thing in English. And you're right: with the blowjobs, it was also rapes. I see that as a rape, but in my mind, it's worse to be penetrated in the vagina or anus than in the mouth (even if it's also awful in the mouth). It's just my opinion on the subject though. When I said in my first message that I hoped Yoshioka hasn't been raped, I was talking about the sodomy.
I checked the definition of the word rape in a French dictionary and it was: "Forced sexual intercourse with a person without consent." So, it can include a lot of things.
My bad I thought that in english"rape" means sexual violence with penetration.
I think that this was the case and he will say something else
It is haha. The rest is sexual harassment not rape
Thank you for the update.
I really like the start of this story and the artwork is beautiful. Can't wait for the next chapter.
You forgot something. You forgot this MOEEEE face >.<
this face > ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Finally!! The last two chapters seem to show that the story is going to be more interesting again. I hope it's over with the boring chapters.
The turn of events reminds me of what we had seen at the beginning of the arch with the hollows in the Hueco Mundo, when Ichigo, Sado and Ishida were running and fighting on the sand, then on Las noches.
At first, they had to fight the hollow made of sand and here it's fighters made of stone (it seems). They were running to rescue Inoue, now they're running to find Ywach.
I know it's always like this in Bleach, even in the soul society the first time, it was running and fighting, losing badly and returning to fight with great success in the end. But some fights were really great in the Soul Society and in the Hueco Mundo so, I hope we'll see more great fights with Ichigo and his new powers in the next chapters.
I'd like to especially see if one of the theories that I've had for a long time now is right: that Ichigo can have a third form while being a hollow in bankai (so one more form than Ulquiorra had). Maybe a black form like the hollow who bit Ichigo's mother.
please could you tell me if kensei muguruma is really dead? please~
Sorry, I wouldn't be able to answer you. I found the chapters so boring before the last two that I wasn't reading all the chapters' pages, so I don't remember what happen to Kensei or if I even read the scenes with him.
I hope someone else would be able to give you a better reply than me. ;)
Sorry for the late reply, thank you for answering :) I wish someone knew :( see ya friend (●'◡'●)ﾉ
No problem.
You're welcome. ;)
