The seme wants love from the uke, but the uke simply needs the seme to treat him badly. The uke asked the seme to abandon his heart. Sigh. That's so sad. also the uke turned out to be masochistic AND sadistic.
I felt it was realistic when he first applied make up and was disgusted with himself. The way that he said he only did that was so he could have a mans love was touching and it showed that he was only attracted to these female things as that would lead him to have a man and all he wants is for a man to love him which is why he even wants to dress up in the first place.
there was a scene that i just DIDN'T GET AT ALL!!
Why after he ravished the poor sensei, he first of all 1) didn't apologised 2) didn't made any explanation of his behaviour whatsoever! 3)threat him like everyting was fine in a split of a second and the sensei had all the fault?
4)and then the most crazy part of the scene happend.....and then the sensei say this unbelievely crazy thing!! and quote: "Why i'm i so slow? why did i questioned kazushi's feelings?"
and i was like WTF DUDE?!! should u get mad or something!?
typical japanese thinking: victims take the blame in order to not bother others :/. the mangaka seems to not realize that she created two characters with sociopathic personalities. the one of the principal story, the yakuza. and the student with an obsession with his 'childhood friend who tried to kill him. I worked for over 15 years as a human rights advocate and we learn about the secrets problems of most countries. one of the problems in japan is that they don't take rape and sexual crimes seriously. that's why is so common in manga/anime and not only yaoi but in any adult genre. but victims are so scared for their families reputations and such (japanese society is one about shame and stereotype) that they shut up. and yep statistics show the rape low because most of the victims don't report it. in japanese law is only considered rape vaginal penetration, not anal, oral, etc. so under japanese law men can't be raped. :/
About your first two points kazushi did apologize after for "taking the punishment too far" and he vaguely explained that he "can feel hurt too." About the rest well most of it got explained already but within most Japanese relationships it's widely accepted that girls (or in this case the girls' role) should be more submissive with their partner and basically everyone in Japan accepts it.
Jesus H. Christ. (⊙…⊙ ) And I don't say that lightly.
I lived there for nearly a decade and never thought to question any of this stuff-- I mean I knew Japanese culture wasn't perfect (vending machines full of worn underwear, see no evil hear no evil drinking parties after work, and tentacle porn were huge red flags) but I just assumed everyone survived on that tiny lil' island because of the goodwill and respect of their fellow countrymen. But this. Fuck. I'm embarrassed at my naivete but grateful you shared this info. And it explains so much about why I find a lot of yaoi fucking frustrating and want to punch something when a uke is a little bitch.
your comment makes me happy. thanks for being conscious. I had pissed lots of the kids and immature young adults for showing a sad truth here in this site. earlier I was discussing with some of these ignorant girls in other topic. if they could they would hit me lol. manga/anime fanatism is a bit similar to that of sports and religion :/. I imagine you noticed how japanese women are beyond submissive to males, specially those with authorities and power. and they simply don't talk about this stuff, the society in general keep shut about this. I wanted to ask you, did you experienced groping in train, buses, ect or knew people who were victims of it?? groping was added to the sexual crimes list. even authorities are aware of that problem and seems to be on the raise in the lasts years. but it makes me sick these narrow minded kids excusing the unusual romanticize of rape as fantasies, the poor sillies are unable to see the difference from a fantasy to glamorize a crime

Oh wow that's just terrible! I had no idea that's how they see things there. （￣へ￣）

Damn!! Didn't know it was that bad. U would think in this day and age that this would have been taken care of a long time ago. Unbelievable!!!
characters have no morals, no self esteem and they aren't ever actually mad or sad!
They can be bleeding and dying and they'd still bone!
They fall in love by having sex right after meeting in the most awkward ways! Also, a teacher f*** his student in front of other students (in the middle of class), just want to give him an extra lesson caused he can't answer the teacher's question. I think it's ridiculous.
I'm sure that was the point. XD
Ushio raping Hikaru? You call that rape? And if it's called rape (though I find it silly, since Hikaru was like "oh, okay" and afterwards ".....I JUST GOT RAPED?"), why the HECK don't they deal with it in some way? It's like... "Ah, yeah, I'm sorry 'bout dat, we clear?"... Jeez. Oh Jeez. I can't take it seriously.
The sex seemed more gratuitous than all the other stories in this manga. I mean, really, they hadn't even really confessed to each other, they're at a movie theater in the middle of a horror flick, and then the friend thinks that surprise oral sex with a blindfold is a good idea??
All the sudden Fumi doesn't mind him being an otaku anymore, the sex comes outta nowhere and is started by the straight guy ...............ug............................... and the joy of Takeo finally having Fumi after 16 years of one sided love also does not come across! Really, it's disappointing how underwhelming everything ends up being, totally different from how the start of the manga makes it seem.
Chapter 1 was good but ended up disappointing me,
Chapter 2 I skipped since it sounded boring,
Chapter 3 was weird and stereotypical,
Chapter 4 was hilarious,
Chapter 5 pissed me off (too much Viewfinder too little realism),
and Chapter 6 was a continuation I didn't need.
messy. very messy. the mangaka tried to squeeze everything in one page and totally failed in doing so.
the situation changes a lot and you can't really tell what's going on.
The ending totally killed my mood. it was so lame, unfinished and completely stupid.
