Even now, I'm still not sure why he broke up with her. Like...I kind of get his reasoning but, at the same time, it makes no sense at all. But I'm super glad she made him work hard to get her back. None of that "I want you back. ...Okay!" crap. And I feel like both characters really got the chance to mature while being apart- now she's more able to say the things on her mind, and he'll be less self-centered and more considerate of her feelings. Funny cliffhanger with the dad, though lol.
But seriously- just how fast and hard are these people gonna fall? The girl from the second story completely forgot her first crush and liked the other guy in all of 3~4 hours. And I'm supposed to believe that's "love"?...Right ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭. Meanwhile, lip moles are sexy af so I'm with the first MC completely on that one.
I hear you there. I think 'love at first sight' or a very short time can happen, but it is what happens in the next few months... years... decades that will determine if it lasts. Attraction (likely what we have in these mangas) can happen instantly, but real love has to be cultivated. They are off to a good start. It will be up to them to deliberately maintain it.
Always love when they're featured since most BL seems to be for girls, but I want to know how it is from guys' perspectives, seeing as they're the ones actually depicted in the works.
This story did start off rather well, but sort of devolved into just normal BL anyway- the uke barely hid his feelings and then the seme was all "I'm not gay! But wait- I've got a hard on (⊙…⊙ ) Well it looks like I like him!" And story over lol. Just kinda wish there was something...more I guess?
I have mixed feelings. The story really pissed me off, somehow. Perhaps because I feel like the uke just kept giving and giving and only got abuse and 1 chapter of good treatment in return? And then the seme and his selfish family only wanted to play the victims and never wanted to consider anyone else's feelings. And you know what pissed me off even more? The fact that, even knowing all that, I didn't hate this manga at all. The art and plot were just so addictive I wanted to keep reading Ugh!
Just the first story was enough to make me drop. I also don't usually comment when I don't finish a story I didn't like but this one bothered me enough to make me post lol. The art was pretty rough, which could have been overlooked with a decent plot or redeemable characters, but ch. 1 didn't have those either. I'm already not one for stories where the uke falls in love with the rapist seme, but this one takes the cake as being the worst. I mean, he falls in love the next day and confesses after a week (technically the 3rd time they even see each other)?!!!
Not to mention, the seme grabs an underaged kid, rapes him, and "rescues" him from someone who was going to do the same thing, then has the nerve to tell the kid to go help his dad. You're right, Mr. Rapist! I should help my dad! Nothing redeemable about him. And this rushed story didn't help me care for any of the characters, either.
I literally just now realized that the excerpt is from this manga by the author:
http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/17_sakurai_machiko/ ...chapter 5 I think. Which really makes me wonder: where is the actual Megane Danshi? (⊙…⊙ )
I was totally ready to write this story off after the first 8-10 chapters: the MC was an irredeemable idiot, and all of the male characters were so stuck on themselves and their pride they didn't care how the MC felt in the best of cases, and actively tried to hurt her in the worst. I literally kept reading for the satisfaction of dealing a hearty "sucked!" in my review when I was done.
Then it took an unexpected turn and delivered some of the most tear-jerking chapters I've ever seen in a shoujo that I just couldn't bring myself to keep hating it. The MC was no longer a fool; the guys stopped being sociopaths and started to value her feelings, and the overbearing father all but disappeared. At that point I could only think "Aha! This is the story I've been waiting for!" And although the ending left a bit to be desired for me (can't put my finger on it, maybe it was because I didn't feel he ever really got closure after losing both her picture and letter?), it transformed into such a touching story in the last 5 chapters that I was left in tears afterwards T-T
And all of the extra stories were comical, or just interesting to read, even if I didn't particularly care for most (all) of the male leads in them.
This was low key awful...well not that low key lol. But I was somehow able to look past its idiocy and find the comedy in all of it. Still a bit weird, though, that she wants to apologize so badly when the guy nearly raped her. Frankly, if his injury was anyone's fault, it's the fault of the crew/management who didn't actually verify they had the right person, especially after ordering delivery.
The summary really didn't do this manga justice -it turned out to be so much better than I expected! Despite the less than stellar scan quality and somewhat incomprehensible translations, I would reread it. The plot really took a good right turn somewhere! Plus, the surprise actually surprised me and I loved the impromptu economics lesson.
A lot of people are saying things on both sides of the argument, but the posts that contain the most useful info are in reply to or buried under other threads so let me just spell it out for you readers real quick:
THIS MANGA IS LICENSED. What does that mean? Any scanslations are ILLEGAL. The scanslators did it in secret and used only a link to avoid detection and legal action. Posting the chapter on sites like this makes it easier for SuBLime (licensing site) to find it and take legal action == make it so scans go bye-bye forever. Putting this up is basically like putting "Buy drugs here!" on a billboard with your name and number.
So to whichever asswipe decided to upload this: thanks a bunch for ruining it for the rest of us. Now we'll have to wait 3 years to know what happens next since vol. 1 isn't being released for another 7 months. (︶︿︶)=凸
what?! why do we must wait for 3 years?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN??? (why do we have to wait for another 3 years?) Please clarify :) (⊙…⊙ ) (⌒▽⌒)
The manga is licensesed. Meaning that this manga will be officially translated in english and would be selling from vol 1 ( releases 7 month later) and until ch 27, the new ch it will take... Approximately 3 years. So we need to wait for three years to read ch 28...
If no one did posted it on mangago and other manga reading websites, the scanlaters wouldve continued translating the manga... Gosh what an idiot who shared it to manga sites wreacked for fans who love ten count...
Lol I see an underage downvoted your comment. It's really sad that mangago (or yaoi fandom in general) are really full of underages.
Sumk had it right. The manga got picked by SuBLime last October and the first volume is being released in August. Going by their release schedule, it takes 9~12 months for a new volume to be translated and made available -> at least another 3 years until volume 4 can be released in English.
I know what you mean -_-. The problem is most of them aren't bad, it's the occasional overexcited 12/13 year old who'll come in and just act like an idiot and generally annoy everyone else lol.
I think you should get a notification for my previous comment, but just in case, I'll reply directly to you: 1st volume will be released this August and we have to wait anywhere from 6 months to a year between releases. That means we'll have to wait at least another 2.5 years for SuBLime to release volume 4 (assuming the next chapter is still volume 4 and not 5). At worst, maybe 4 years? I'm being hopeful and saying 3 years lol
To add a bit, this is the last page of the 4th volume of Ten Count in Japanese (afterwards there are only extras) http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/ten_count/mf/812d6542be9f3aa2/Vol5_Ch25/pg-6/
So anything after this page is volume 5.
