I remember reading this as a teen and liking it, but re-reading it once more, the "Dream" that Mashiro and Azuki have of "we'll marry each other after achieving our dream" is so stupid lmao. They barely know each other at all and they're already set on marrying each other. Why manga treats marriage like such a flippant thing to promise someone is beyond me. I also am reminded that their "rival" Eiji was introduced to us as a really cool and brutal guy -- "I want to be able to cancel any manga I don't like", and then immediately that threat was abandoned to make him a goofball. While I do love that he's a goofball, another part of me wishes there had been a cool talented rival for the duo to go up against. Instead every one of their rivals are normal people. While that does add to the realism of the story, why fake us out with Eiji's (later to be revealed quite uncharacteristic) Cool Guy Villain introduction?

While I like that Seth and Horus got together in chapter 183, I feel like it was sudden? While there was this slow build up all this time, them finally having actual sex out of mutual desire didn't quite land for me. It felt like there was still a step in their relationship that was missing. I honestly expected this slow burn to have kept going for a lot longer because it seemed like Seth was only just beginning to really see Horus as a friend and an ally. Also disappointed that their sex was painful for Seth. After how painful it was with Osiris, I wanted Seth to get all the lube for when he and Horus finally sealed the deal. :(

    Yeah it felt out of place because I saw the raws a long time ago before the English translations and when I saw them smashing I was just like how?? Doesn't Seth hate Horus? It felt weird that he was kissing him when in season 1 Seth hated the idea of being with a man so.... what's was the suddenly change Seth behavior without an expectation of why he likes kissing men now. It's weird that Seth nows likes men? But a lot of people had said what you said too. All I remember was them kissing 1 time then they started smashing it went from A to Z. It wasn't any build up in their relationship to the smashing part. That why it feels out of place and why their relationship still feels one-sided. Sometimes it seems forced between them.

    lol!!! what!!! i wasn’t even able to tell they’re together until like this ch… maybe i need to reread. what if felt to me is like they just have sex often and horus just tells him he loves him every now and then.. def agreed. we should’ve gotten more in-depth of them being officially together now

    I think that's the point of 'coming of age' cave
    I feel the same way you guys fell, they needed slow buildup of love and desire, but I think when they went into the cave they gave in to the desires the cave put upon them
    See how Seth hallucinated his wife and went to bed His wife, when he knew she possibly couldn't be there
    seth came out of the trance when he realised it was hallucination and came back to horus
    He already felt comfortable with him and horus was closest to his heart after his wife and son
    So I think it was the power of the cave, providing lust to both of them and they both consented so yh

    Seth actually didnt hallucinate his wife, Horus did. And those werent hallucinations, Bastet took on the image of Neph, and the other aspiration was most likely Sekhemet.

It's yaoi, of course. The plot is that a demon lord has lost his powers and his court of fellow demons (named after demon lords of Hell, if I remember correctly) proceed to have sex with him. Yes it's SA, but I want to know if there's been any progression of the story since the last time I've read it. Can't find it.

You see it in yaoi manga, mostly, though I've also seen it in shojo (._.) where the male character essentially says "[You look/act such a way that] makes me want to rape you". Sometimes even the ukes say "Rape me" and I have no idea how to feel about that. (⊙…⊙ )

What do you make of this? Do you think there's something lost in translation, that the word "rape" is their shorthand of saying "ravish" or "to be rough" with? Is it supposed to be kinky, like consensual non-consent? Or do the mangakas not really grasp how extreme and serious a crime like rape really is?

I mean, if it's your kink, it's your kink, but seeing such a phrase stated so bluntly is really jarring because here in the West it's just..simply not said. The word "fuck" is usually used to replace "rape" to imply that an act, rather than a crime, is about to occur, ya feel? It's just SO WEiRD.

    I'm thinking your guess is right that something is lost in translation. Unless it's a bdsm thing and they are acting. Because the fact that they are asking to be"raped" means it's consenting and can't be rape by definition

    CUMINSIDEMECUMINSIDEME October 15, 2019 11:00 pm

    you guys are so fucking dumb. thats why i added a question mark, "?" "?"
    guys know what a question mark is?????????????

You're all idiots. I don't come here to
 fight against a majority of 
Yes-Men when it comes to how
 bad or good a manga is, and 
yet here we-the-hell are. 
Don't fuck with me, I ain't got time 
for that. Don't come at me with a
flippant, bitch-ass attitude.
I like making albums for manga pages.  
Too many albums, in fact.

At this point I read yaoi like a critic
watches films. Not necessarily out of
explicit enjoyment, but to see where
the genre is heading in regards to
character development, plot, visuals,
etc. Don't expect in-depth analyses
of what I read, though. 

This site is making me more confident
in just saying how I feel about manga
that people seem to love blindly. Sorry
to break your hearts, shojo/yaoi fans,
but some of your faves are trash.
