it was very cute, but it seemed like it lost it's way like, midway through? some things I'd love to get more of, were just forgotten,, and the kid also just disappeared, which is a shame since I really wanted to see how it'd go for him.
would also have loved a proper ending for the story. idk,, it just doesn't seem finished?
it would probably receive less stars from me, if their roles in bed weren't what they are ahdjk really gotta love the fiery dom bottom and the almost corpse, sub top eheh.
I'd love to see more of their relationship afterwards aaaah,, love the story but- I really wanted more of them together. I want a third volume so bad,, their lives together, meeting the family eventually, if not some sexy time then some lovey-dovey,, man.
remember reading this back in the day, I remembered the plot and that it was funny, and indeed, that's true. hajime and mafuyu are super interesting and fucked up (would have loved to see more just because they were my favorite part)+ I actually liked the reasons for that all to happen, and that after being told it was not okay, mafuyu stopped while still in his brother's body,, the main brother is also super fine, he's very cute indeed! now,,,,,,, akiyama? heh,,,, he was something,,,, he had some good moments but,, there was no need for him to be doing so many bad decisions. just wanted to add- I can't believe the main lover boy was aiming to do whatever he could to the main guy while he was in his younger brother's body, because it was weaker?? the amount of red flags in that statement,, christ. plus, of course he won't believe you're into him?? even more after understanding he was the only one who wanted to try and get his body back?? to add, he said all that to mafuyu and still did whatever he could to his body?? what a green flag.
love love love their dynamic. plus they're really really stupid. the story in itself is fine, but it becomes quite entertaining cause of the vibes and characters.
YACHAN MADE A MOVE ON TOONO TOO !! let's gooo. I really don't want to see his or kashima's heart,,, break.
seemed much much better when I was younger.
I remembered it taking longer to get to thw physical stuff... (￣∇￣"). Now it seemed a bit too fast but all in all good. I mean really the only way for shirotani to get over himself is to actually find a lover, not just a psychologist, and that he definitely did lmao.
I don't agree with you. I have (not too bad) mysophobia and even in a lower state, this is a terrible and disgusting "solution". what the "doctor" should have done if he was decent, instead of what he wanted because his patient was super vulnerable,, would be to maybe down the line try going with cooking, baking, to make him use his hands. maybe try some pottery or plasticine. there are a lot of things out there that one can do with their hands that don't involve sexual assault and abuse (cause yes. that did happen. and yes. he was raped by a person he trusts). to add to that, he will never be "cured". things will just be more manageable, but it's fine and normal for there to be relapses, there just needs to be a lot of care and patience (even more from a wannabe doctor). plus, the subway is indeed disgusting, but a good way to work around that is to walk with alcohol gel and tell yourself "it's okay. I can clean my hands when I get out." etc. to add to that, I think falling in love is natural, and it could have been a super nice story, but instead. we get this fucked up mess that's trying too hard to be seen as a cute love story with "messy" characters. btw ! your last statement was fucked up and I think you should be aware !
Well I didn't say it was in any way an appropriate solution, because it wasn't. Originally the mysophobia was an extention of him hating himself for loving his father in that way. It ended up becoming an imprinted habit to stay away from anything dirty, but at the same time he thought himself as the most dirty one. The seme wasn't wrong when he realized shiratoni had those hidden desires that caused the mysophobia. By the end, the seme himself admitted that in his own darkest desires, he kinda didn't was shiratoni necessarily cured. That's part of why he ended up leaving the field once his own doubts about what happened to the first guy he liked got resolved. Like that chapter in his life needed to be closed. He knew he was no nice guy from the beginning. Meanwhile shiratoni being as he is, he is so shut-in that he's super gullible and at the same time stubborn. It took forming a friendship with soemone to trick himself into getting treated. He didn't take seriously getting better even until it felt like he was doing it for the sake of someone he cares about, which imo is sorta fucked up in itself. Yeah it took a nasty turn, but what I meant by in my last sentence was that shiratoni is so stubborn that it was gonna take someone personal to him to even get him to consider the notion of getting better. A lover ofc is always the closest of personal you can get so it's a very effective motivation. Ofc, all in all, he could have gotten a lover in a wayyy more normal way in the first place with more patience instead of with the piece of shit seme. If you take the fucked up seme of this story out of the equation, my point stands. Unfortunately, he had to have gotten close to someone who ended up taking advantage of him which is sad. At the very least, by the end of the story he is starting to learn to love himself and then the story makes it seem like despite kinda resolving the issue over his father, it would be a long road to him getting unused to thinking the way mysophobia has you think. Much like how anorexia works, first it's for control over life or feeling like you need to fit a mold etc, and then later even if those core issues are being worked on, it cam take a while to actually rewire the brain to eat normal meals. That's what I meant by him benefitting that much from getting a lover, though I wish it had been a far better person he got close with. His heart can finally fully move on from the 'dad he loved' trauma and start anew as he slowly works at being ok with dirty objects around him etc. I do understand how my last statement sounds, but just as this manga was messy, truly some poeple end up only getting better after a messy start whether it was ok or not. Should it have happened the way it did with the shitty ass seme? No. But at least he has a reason to try now, especially because he has other friends around him he probably wants to have more experiences with.
people complaining about the slowburn need to understand that most bls are the exact opposite. so. go read those. there's a lot to choose from. me personally, I absolutely adore slow burns,, especially when they're done correctly, such as this one.
Can I like leave 1 million likes on this!? Cause yes, leave them alone and go read the tons of other BL that go straight into it. And let us slow burners enjoy the slow burn.
YESYESYES thank you thank you.
fun but simple story,, I really enjoyed the beginning of it the best. the main is super fun to follow but the other guy did have some attitudes towards the end where I was just like-??? is this the same guy?. especially about the positions in sex, like- I think it's funny how he reacted at first (since many shippers do have an unreasonable need to protest about who enters who? which I, as a gay dude, find ridiculous,, everyone can switch. it's no big deal.) still- afterwards I felt like the story would have had a breakthrough if both actually talked and he apologized. this scene happens at the end of love stage (which has multiple other issues but still-), where the top feels threatened because the bottom wants to try to top him. but eventually, after other people talk to him, he understands that he felt like if he did that he would be less of man. but he doesn't want to think that way about him or his boyfriend. and he loves him. so he does end up bottoming and that scene is really cute.
went on a tangent cause that whole plot point in this manga did start to piss me off as it went on. plus, I think they did lose when they stopped even mentioning otaku things after a while, and only focusing,,, on whatever they focused on?? pff. we could have seen some cool and sweet moments. imagine one of them wants to do a duo cosplay etc waah- cute.
plus, I think the story could have been better with a lot more flashbacks of them as they grew together. we could see how important their bond was from the start, instead of being told so, etc.
shame it's so short, but with what it has, it's quite interesting (and hot). really wish it we could have had more, since I would have loved to see them both grow and eventually catch feelings and become more,, yk,, healthy together etc
