Less of a sequel, more like the original in a different setting. No character development or plot progression, and Reborn and Lambo are still typecast as an arrogant rapist and a rape victim with Stockholm Syndrome. I agree with every comment that Lambo deserves better treatment, but the readers also deserve better than a one-trick pony. So much lost potential...
Wow, yet another doujin where Reborn is a smug, abusive rapist and Lambo is weak-willed and obsessive. Are there any where he actually acts like he was raised in the mafia and is strong enough to be a guardian? Or where Reborn acts like someone who made the immense personal sacrifices he did? Getting kind of tired of these one-dimensional characters and overused plots.
I love Kobayashi and Nakeshima bonding over their possessiveness! XD
“What’s the newest word on my brother?”
“He has a secret girlfriend that he’ll deny if you ask him about, so it’s no use introducing him to girls.”
“Nice.”
Also, kudos for showing lube and condom use! (Remember kids, an ass full of cum means a morning full of diarrhea ~)
Imagine Shiba getting fed up with Shishidou constantly bothering his class and, partly out of pettiness, introducing him to the new girl - a huge, hulking reindeer who has a full set of antlers and towers over him. The herbivore class remains strangely peaceful for some time after.
(Fun fact: Female reindeer are roughly the same height/weight as female lions, and actually *can* grow taller than male lions!)
1st story: I’m fine with shota/age difference, but this kind of emotional manipulation isn’t okay with any couple. The seme comes off as a massive jerk taking advantage of the uke’s naïveté and lack of life experiences.
2nd story: Holy shit, you don’t bang your hookup on the family room couch, what the fuck is wrong with you?!!
Why was it up to the seme to make a move? If person A knows their love is reciprocal but person B doesn’t, wouldn’t it make more sense for person A to say something rather than using emotional manipulation to force a confession? That trope always leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth.
My exact thoughts!!
It wasn't emotional abuse but childish.
yes
*but it was childish.
He was shy to make a move himself.
maybe yes
