I wish more authors would make Pansexual characters, I'm pan and I loved ever minute of this manga although I would be totally cool if the seme stayed in girl form. Also it's so awesome to see a tall, short haired uke, it's something we don't get to see all the time and feels like an extra treat.

Everyone keeps complaining about the ending say stuff like " he only went back to the uke cause he couldn't have children" but that is just wrong... Did I see a different manga?

1. The girl broke up with him cause he couldn't have kids, but just cause that girl broke it off didn't mean he had to date a guy. I'm sure there are plenty of girls that don't want kids that he could have dated if he wanted to and we must also keep in mind that he was only dating her to please his parents.

2. The seme came out to his parents. Most BLs do not feature people coming out to there family's and many even hiding there relationship. And the ones that show people coming out depicts the family's unrealistically. His coming out shows how seriously he takes his relationship now and I truly appreciate that.

3. He father found a cure and told him about it. He new about the cure and could have gotten married if he wanted too but instead CHOSE the uke so he didn't just sleep with the uke for convenience in the end but CHOSE him out of LOVE.

I hope this jogs your memory and proves his love(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ like if you agree

    so we're only allowed to shower praise on manga we read? ok.gif.

    and yeah obviously he could've ended up with a girl if he wanted but the story definitely makes ME feel like his gay relationship was a fallback plan. speaking as a man who likes men, i would never want to be a consolation prize or substitute for a guy who presented as straight. we can pat the author on the back for depicting a nice coming out without trying to muzzle criticisms. you're welcome to think my viewpoint is invalid, but LGBT representation is important and it's kinda rude to be dismissive of such opinions.

    i've noticed that criticisms of a manga, no matter how valid, are always met with a downpouring of thumbs down... unless the criticism is about the ~correct seme-uke ordering or the lack of sex in the story. BL fangirls sure have their priorities straight~~~~~

    haha. dude, the thing is, you gotta know history first. Yaoi has never been intended for men/gay men. Their target market is women. I am a straight woman and I like reading yaoi because of the hot guys in it. But you if you can't see LGBT representation in there, then I am not surprised. Coz, it's really not supposed to be there. You forget to think that Japanese mangaka have different way of thinking than American comic book writers. If you dont like it that yaoi is for women, then Im sorry, it sucks for you. I kinda think yaoi storylines have totally improved now, compared to stories from 10 years ago. Most of the stories were simply "chick-wth-a-dick" themed...

    I agree with both of you, as you both make valid points.

    To me the problem is, that the crucial time of choice comes a bit early in their relationship, before they themselves are quite sure of their own and each others emotions. Not enough to the kind of sacrifices both might have to make. Not to speak of disappointing Sudou's family. But it is definitely something of a cop-out, to resolve the issue through infertility probs. In the end Sudou looks passive, and like he went with the flow of events instead of making an active choice till the very end.

    I have definitely also noticed this trend to be intolerant towards anything the least bit critical of a manga someone likes. Don't really get that, as there are many mangas I love, but I will be the first to admit that they have their flaws, and see no issue in having a discussion them. I wouldn't want to bother if I didn't care about the manga. And before someone says that you can only be a bit critical if you think you can do better (you only have to read a few posts to know that they do)- c'mon please!!

    yaoi is for women but that doesn't mean it should promote toxic relationships or dubious social attitudes? it's not like women are better represented in these manga - they're almost always faceless characters that only get in the way of gay love. i think it's pretty depressing that women hate other women enough to view them only as sexual rivals and witches.

    yaoi may be better about social issues than it was 10 years ago but that's not saying much. and i have no problem with yaoi being women-oriented, because i'm not a misogynistic asshole. but just because yaoi is supposedly women-oriented doesn't shield it from criticism.

    yeah i'm not hugely bothered by this story actually. i just don't like how this parent comment is titled STOP COMPLAINING, as though any complaints about this comic are invalid. sexuality can be confusing and obviously i understand how scary it is to come out for sudou or anyone else. but i think people saying that this relationship is not very romantic have a point because ultimately it appears as he prioritized other things over love.

    I don't really care about this discussion, but no ones said gay men can't read yaoi. Reading comprehension problem?
    The other user just stated the truth; yaoi is targeted for female, and she/he didn't said gay men can't read it, of course they can. Just like, shounen manga, shounen (it's actually a demographic not genre) manga is targeted for male teenagers, but many female read it.

    I didn't mean the manga either. I mean Yaoi- fandom in general. You just called it that. Why? Cause some yaoilovers are pretty emotional? I call that generalization.
    And I really read your first comment above there as a very personal stated opinion about how same-sex-relationships between men should be represented. And just like someone else mentioned, that's not the point of Yaoi at all. So your critic may be right and all in general reality but general reality is clearly not, what these manga are about. I mean no one goes to little girls telling them their beautiful pink furry winged unicorn toys should be black or brown without any wings at all just to fit reality more. Or do you actually do that?I really wonder now :)

    a few points:
    1) comparing gays to unicorn toys is a completely false equivalency, and i think you know that. i mean... we are real people, not some abstract concept or fairytale. stereotypes about minorities that are perpetuated through media can be harmful at worst and annoying at best. i've met many fruit flies who only want to be acquainted with me because of their misconception about what gay people are supposed to look and act like, and who expect me to fit some kind of norm because of the gay love novels and BL they read. so even if you say "general reality" is not what BL manga is about, a lot of people DO take it at face value.
    2) uhhhh yaoi fandom IS fetishizing. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fetish yaoi fans co-opt gay characters and gay intercourse for their own sexual pleasure - that's pretty much the textbook definition of fetishizing. which is FINE, but let's not pretend that's not true.
    3) of course it's a personal opinion and i do not claim to be a spokesperson for all LGBT people. nor do i object to yaoi being women-oriented, that's fine, and i get that yaoi is a fantasy for many people. but i think the people who are being fetishized in a medium should be allowed to express their opinions about how they're being portrayed, even if they're not the target audience for that medium.

    People you need to understand that Japanese culture is different than our own. They dont even take rape seriously unless it was violent and you ended up hurt in other places other than your
    vagina. Most yaoi consist of girlish men with handsome men that fight over who is the uke and dont ever switch positionsand most ukes have to be susubmissive. So over there this manga is well received. He came out to his parents, found out he couldn't have children then his father found a cure but he still went back to his uke. Some one commented that yaoi is yaoi and LGBT is LGBT and they are 100% right. I personally didn't like the manga but i dont really expect much of yaoi to keep with my own views nevertheless i do greatly enjoy a lot of yaoi.

But that doesn't mean these fans want to rape people or support rapist. What I don't support is btw underage people reading yaoi. So they can misinterpreted the meaning of fiction. And use it as guide lol. End of word, don't take it seriously :)

    Nah, I'm not comparing gay people to unicorns. I'm comparing unicornes to yaoi-manga. Both are just a work of fiction. And if anything they represent a lot of female approach to the world, but I'm not really sure about that. That may be only MY impression. But I'm very sure they're not ment to represent actual males, gay or not.
    I don't know, where you get your experience with all the crazy BL fangirls from though. But not everybody here is a fetishist or going crazy over some juicy pictures. Some just enjoy reading these manga. In a relatively composed way ;)
