I had given up hope that anyone would continue this. Thanks so much for picking it up!
I liked how they explained the two different aspects, wanting to dominate or be dominated, spoiled or spoiling and the same with pleasure. I used to think that BDSM was all about humiliation and pain, I'll be the first to say I had no idea what I was talking about and admitted it. I like this new aspect (sub/dom as a gender), and I'm really looking forward to where this goes.
Oops, sorry! I accidentally disliked your comment! D:
No problem
I checked out the raws and it definitely ended on a cliffhanger(?), I noticed it hadn't been updated there for awhile, does anyone know if there's a 2nd season out there somewhere?
Drop the link please
Sorry, don't know how to connect you. I just went to Toonkor site, selected genre then selected BL...then searched thumbnails for the Manga. If you use Chrome you can translate the page but the names don't always match....but "Benjamin" is there.
Ok thanks
This story had a few curves and turns that added up to a disturbingly twisted tale. I really enjoyed how stark the artwork is and how few actual images it took to tell such a good story. I believe his old friend/new lover helps him heal and realize his self worth. (That's definitely how I want it to end....so that's how I'm ending it, lol)
So many stories portray the uke as a weak and pitiful character who needs to be rescued and can barely think for himself. While this guy is only weak because of his small stature, inside he's a prizefighter. I admire him because of all the major "SHIT" he's been through, and even though there were the suicidal ideations for awhile, he did it to protect someone else, he was gonna handle it. I'm not saying he's without his own weaknesses, but it's his inner strength I see that really makes me love his character. Now I guess we'll see how the rest plays out, and if he's strong enough to fiight for and win his own happiness. *fingers crossed*
Such beautiful art and yet such twisted characters. I'd love to sit and talk with the author and see what kind of mind these stories came from. The rape aspect no longer is an issue for me, it's just part of the yaoi world. The parts where "I love you most when I make you cry and fight me" or "I just want to spend the rest of my life squashing your superiority under my foot, I love that you hate me" etc... Now these aren't word for word quotes, but I'm sure you recognize the theme and sentiment here. I have a hard time believing that these, actually repugnant, characters were just created out of thin air for some readers enjoyment. I wonder how much of the authors life experience or hatred(?) of men comes to play when writing these scenarios. Maybe it is just for shock value so you won't be able to get her characters out of your mind, creating ones you love or ones you hate works either way, but I do wonder what kind of mind enjoys cruel stronger characters that totally and cruelly dominate (one way or another) weaker ones. Just my thoughts.
I'm okay with the not being vengeful mentality, but I definitely think he needs to find new friends. I mean even though it was just a placebo, they were (all three) gonna fuck him without a second thought. Can you even call guys like that friends?
