I've never been so irritated with a character before! Ueda has some MAJOR issues if she's seriously jealous of an innocent child who's only crime was adoring his father- and we ALL know his admiration is completely innocent.
To have your sensei defile your body in plain view of his young, impressionable child is just SICK. She's also a hypocrite for calling Shirotani "disgusting" for having sexual urges. WHO WAS THE ONE GIVING HIM A LEWD SHOW!? If that stupid bitch winds up being Shirotani's stepmother I'm going to be disgusted. Also, shame on his father for actually giving in to his student when she clearly needed help and guidance instead of a good fucking in his office.
Totally agree with you.... BURN THAT BITCH!!!
Agreed. I was so incredibly disgusted with how she intentionally let Shirotani see all of that.
The younger brother in the last story needs a good swift kick in the balls, honestly. The older brother also needs to open his eyes and realize what a PRICK his little brother is for ratting him out to the entire school. I believe in redemption and forgiveness, but there is absolutely no good redeeming qualities in the little brother. They're both 100% convinced that the little brother did nothing wrong. ARE THEY NUTS!? (obviously the answer is YES)
This manga was first (and so far only) one to make me cry like a baby at its conclusion. THIS is what yaoi should be: a story about the life and friendship of two men who eventually came together despite the odds. Their lives were forever intertwined.
BEAUTIFUL story.
This story DESPERATELY needs to give us more information about the main characters. We're 20 chapters in and yet we're still clueless about Kurose and Shirotani. There's only been a glimpse into Shirotani's past, and absolutely nothing has been given about Kurose. I've seen so many people getting angry at Kurose for the way he behaves towards Shirotani, but i have a strong feeling that people would change their tune if they could empathize with him in some way, or feel like they understand him. WE NEED A BACKSTORY, SENSEI!
You do remember sensei saying that this story's gonna be a slow one? :3 Maybe sensei's taking her/his time... Does this answer ur question?
Well we did see one of Kurose's flashbacks (I think)
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/ten_count/mf/v02/c011/15/
I'm aware of the "flashback".... but the thing is, what are we supposed to gather from that one image, ya know? I'm just waiting for a little more info! I'm dying to know more about him
my question? lol... I knew already that the story was slower paced, that's not the problem. I'm just anxious to know more! And it'd be nice to know more about Kurose simply just so his "haters" will shut up. lol. If you go on Tumblr it's basically the "lets all gather and hate on Kurose" place. I'm tired of hearing how "horrible" he is when we don't know his full story!
I agree completely..
Please sensei, just give us a little glimps into his mind! (╯°Д °)╯
Why on EARTH does there need to be another stereotypical "bitchy female" in this manga!? I already want to smack the living hell out of her. What right does she have to start yelling at Taichi and saying he's good for nothing? BITCH! AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FOR YOU IN THIS MANGA!
Also, nothing makes me more irritated than watching the main characters have a misunderstanding and whatnot and neither one will grow a pair and TALK about their issues. It's even MORE irritating when another character becomes the villainous wedge between them. Plus, I feel like I'm missing something... why are the two boys at odds all of the sudden? I thought things were okay between them now??
While the concept and the story line itself are rather ridiculous, I still enjoy this manga. Yes, they could have met outside of school and saved themselves a bunch of unnecessary drama, but then we wouldn't have this little gem to read! haha. Let's just appreciate the story for what it is: SMUUUUUTTT
I found this manga a bit strange and hard to follow even despite it's short length. Two of the chapters were uploaded incorrectly, and not only that, the story line itself seemed disjointed and didn't really make much sense. I finished reading and found myself thinking "what exactly was the point of this?" nobody had clear motivation or desires. And what was with the uke's obsession with his "dad"? I feel like the mangaka was hinting at a one sided crush of some sort but never really elaborated on it (or anything, really)
So is it weird of me to say I loved the short story about the high heels?? haha. I'm one of those people who believe everyone should wear whatever the heck they want no matter what gender.
And you gotta admit that big beefy guy was rockin those heels and jeans WAY better than most women! FIERCE AS FUCK! lol
This story would have captivated me MUCH more if the mangaka hadn't gone with the typical "rape= love" theme that so many yaoi manga suffer from. If someone was blackmailing me to keep their silence by forcing me to suck their dick and then allowing them to fondle and then RAPE me, I highly doubt I would fall for them over time.
Can anyone else on this website really say they want someone else to rape them like that? Keep in mind I'm not talking about a 'rape role play/fantasy' with their lover. I'm talking about straight up violation of your body without your consent. Would you fall in love with your rapist?
Also keep in mind that I'm aware that both of the men in this story had twisted/complicated feelings towards one another all along. But no matter what the situation is the seme still had NO right to force himself on the uke. If he wanted his attention then why not just SAY SOMETHING?? Raping your crush doesn't exactly scream 'I love you'
I totally agree! I'm so tired of this kind of manga, where the seme rapes the uke because they "love" them, and even though the uke hates it he ends up falling in love with his rapist. Ugh! That's not love, it's just sick and twisted...
Yeah I totally agree with you! Thank goodness I've read the comments before reading this manga.
Whoever said that rape is THE way to express your feelings?!?! ヽ(`Д`)ﾉ
You're the only one who said the true, I totally agree with you. I can't stand yaoi with rape-love, if you want to express your feelings you don't have to use rape....and when the uke "fell in love" this isn't love but Stoccolma'syndrome syndrome (╬￣皿￣)凸
Sorry for my bad English, I'm not a native
I think you have missunderstood slightly. The uke was already in love with the seme way before the rape. The intrest was definitly there already before the blackmailing. So this is far from your typisk rape=love story and more rape doesnt nessecary means the love dies. Whitch is actually really realistic. This manga is diffrent than most I've read, it is very, very deep and pshycological. Amazing.
I haven't misunderstood anything. I stated that the characters had complicated feelings all along. I was making a point: rape and manipulation aren't okay under any circumstances. Even if you love someone they can still technically rape you if you're saying no. Rape is rape. I wasn't confused by the situation at all. I fully understand.
And for the record, I'm not irritated by your comment or anything. I just want to get my point across without anyone assuming I'm some kind of small minded yuppie. I'm more than open to discuss matters rationally.
Ah, right. I interpreted your comment as if you meant the the love was a result of the rape. Sorry then, for the misunderstanding on my part.
Of course sexual assault of any kind is completely despicable, and wether a victim has feelings of love for the perpetrator or not has nothing to do with the act. Is that even being questioned by anyone this day and age? But technically? That sounds so wrong to me, rape is rape and it doesn't get any better or less brutal or damaging by being preformed by your loved one, actually it most likely makes it way worse for most ppl. But then again, one has to separate reality from fiction. I can enjoy some rape-play in mangas, actually I love it. Usually not this more brutal kind, but the story is so good.
Since English isn't my first language I'm not quite clear on what you mean with the end of your comment. What does yuppie mean?
A yuppie is basically rich, educated person who looks down on everyone no matter what.
Aha, thanks for the explanation ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
I'm a former member of various human rights orga for more than 15 years. we know almost all countries problems. sorry to tell you this. this is not about any fantasy. Japan's eternal problem from ancients times: sexual crimes. even the government doesn't take seriously sexual crimes. manga/animes fans are the most ignorants about Japan's dark problems. unlike most countries. japanse society give a green light for it. japan is a fave tourists place of pedos and sexual perverts. these mangakas are showing ones of japan eternal problems. sad but true... this is not a yaoi thing but a problem in all genres.

Lost causes. Japanese have already dismissed them.
This manga is what I'd like to call the holy grail of lighthearted yaoi. There was little to NO drama and absolutely no rivalries or violent Yakuza plots or random illnesses and accidents that tear their lives apart..... just a story about two men developing their relationship over the years. It's the perfect level of sugar and spice for the readers who want a break from "typical" yaoi plots
