when it looked like the top was gonna "eat" (rape) the bottom in chapter 1 i was pleasantly surprised that he stopped on his own account and didn't. the way i thought it would go well from there............ it just went downhill instead
i re-read this last night... it's one of those mangas i come back to every once in a while because it's just so wholesome. rui is such a big babie... like, literally. and yuujirou was so gentle with him :(
that old man with nanasaki's hand on his dick: well? thoughts?
me: and prayers
thank you for all the additional info from the book btw
this top could have been IT if he hadn't done all that shit in between. beefy. handsome. attentive. the first kiss was tolerable because his intentions were vague but everything after that... disappointing
kinda hate how the artist omitted the probably most important part of ukishima's and makabe's first meeting -> clear consent. i've read so much shitty yaoi that my head filled in the blanks between "you don't want it? go ahead and resist" and them being shown right in the middle of fucking with some quite ugly scenarios.
i think the submission, deliberate vulnerability, and maybe unspoken consent(?) is supposed to be implied through ukishima's behavior prior to them fucking (his obvious arousal, his passiveness, plus the fact that he's a little messed up and went out to "get wrecked"), but implicit consent doesn't always cut it... a simple panel of ukishima opening his pants by himself or letting go of makabe's hand to give him a go ahead would have been enough :/ iffy
Totally agree!
that bitch is on the cover... looks like we'll lose another poor soul to their rapist
may this story prosper without sexual assault or rape
Amen
Amen!!
i can't believe how these few pages managed to break my heart three times
tbh this isn't dark or anything, it's just watered-down yandere shit with an unrealistic happy ending. the biggest problem with yaois that utilize possessive characters/relationships and darker themes is that they don't do it right. more often than not they end in sunshine and rainbows and that's just bullshit and wrong and boring. you'd think a guy who was chained, stripped naked, locked up, and assaulted by a person he trusted would get away with some trauma or go a little psycho himself. instead he's made to realize that he loves the perpetrator -- and the fact that the perpetrator is an actual psycho and that their relationship is based on romanticized possessiveness, assault, and manipulation is barely or not at all acknowledged afterwards. like, if you wanna write and draw fucked up shit then GO ALL THE WAY. give me the emotionally traumatized victim at the end of it all. show me how fucked up their relationship is after all of the shit that's been done. i don't want all that fake "and they lived happily til the end of their days" bullshit. it's not cute. it's not enjoyable.
PREACH. Couldn’t agree more
"Give me the emotionally traumatized victim at the end of it all. Show me how fucked up their relationship is after all of the shit that's been done. Don't want all that fake 'and they lived happily til the end of their days' bullshit. It's not cute. It's not enjoyable"
You totally spoke my mind
yes exactly, the uke had basically no character. the seme could have just eneded up with a blank white wall and that would still be more interesting than this =. Tbh the stalker lady and the seme had more chemistry than the main couple lmao.
Idk if u feel disappointed and want some good Psychological Yaois that Have a dark theme
(basically all the bad stuff like: locking up uke,Assault, Rape etc.) i suggest Harada
The best Psychological yaoi Author there is they make some fucked up shit that u wont forget and enjoy
(づ￣ ³￣)づ
I suggest Gengoroh Tagame (≧∀≦)
thank you, i already know and love harada's works. she's probably the reason why I'm so upset. nobody does it like her sfsfsf
Try "Chew and swallow"
It's a dark, psychological masterpiece.
Also an emotional rollar coaster. Once you get into it, you wouldn’t be able to get up without finishing it. Though the ending could've been better in my pov but still worth a shot.
tbh the art style isn't really my thing but i'll give it a try. thank you!
Yeah the artwork's a bit bland but it gets slightly better. If you ever give it a try, lemme know how you like or dislike it!
