fujoshineko's Topics (246)

I liked the first few chapters up to the onsen, but after a while I got tired of Natsume always yelling and flailing and freaking out. （￣へ￣）

I'm sorry for going on and on about Naoya but seriously, my poor kokoro can't take much more. When Akira started begging him for it to the point where they did it without a condom because Akira refused to let Naoya take it out AAAAAAAAAH ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ I am such a big fan of Naoya. He loves Akira and is not afraid to tell him and show it. And gosh, just look at that body. ヾ(☆▽☆) I hope the little extra with them in bed gets translated too. I just love that last scene where they are laughing while holding each other. Such a sweet, heartwarming scene. (=・ω・=) I remember sensei writing something like how she wants them to reach a level in their relationship where they are like Maya and Nemu. I hope we get to see that!!!

Oh.my.god.

I NEED MORE

While Maya is definitely my favorite seme (that black hair just kills me), Naoya isn't that far behind in my list. So manly. Not gonna deny that he's a douche sometimes, but ugh that sex appeal. Black hair just long enough to be tied into a half-pony or a little full one, droopy eyes that get all beastly-sexy when he stares at Akira during sex, and those beauty marks right under his left eye. Don't forget the height! So tall and dreamy~~~ (▰˘◡˘▰)

What I like most about Akira's story (besides the sex god Shimakawa LOL) is how complicated it is compared to Maya and Nemugasa's. I think it's a good contrast. Not saying one is better than the other; I like them both. I love the gradual development in Maya and Nemugasa's love story, but I also love all the fucked upness of Akira's.

1. Teacher-student. Looks good in fiction, but come on, we all know it's pretty taboo and I'm pretty sure all schools have a rule against teachers having relationships with their students. Sensei was a coward? Yeah, but he also had Akira's best interest in mind, didn't he? He didn't want him to decide what to do with his life based on their relationship. And yes, they were both uke too.

2. Incest. Jutta's bro-con is beyond what I would consider funny and cute, because he's seriously hurting Akira. I would forgive him if there were some more solid backstory to it, but sadly we didn't get much of that. We only know it's been going on for a long time, enough to make Akira want to run far away from him.

3. Yandere seme. Not my words, sensei's. Naoya is pretty neurotic too, what with all those thought bubbles of his while interacting with Akira. He's quite manipulative, but he worships Akira. I remember sensei comparing him to a bear. His possessiveness rivals that of Maya but instead of yelling at his uke, he gets back some other way, like when he kissed Nemu. So, you know, sure he's screwed up, but you know, people are rarely just eithrr good or evil. I like his frivolity, though he's serious about wanting to date Akira.

And well he's hot AF hahaha

4.Akira's lack of self-awareness. Without noticing it, he fell in love with Naoya. He was too absorbed in his pain over his breakup with sensei that he didn't notice he already liked Shimakawa.

Here's a summary of what happens in the first two chapters of volume six, for those who can't read Spanish, Chinese, and/or Japanese, and have no access to English scans:

Chapter 1 opens with Maya and Nemu talking about Nemu's being fired from his part-time job after working for only two days, so Maya suggested teaching, saying Nemu was pretty good at teaching him when they were in high school. That made Nemu happy and all hot and bothered, so he kissed Maya and asked if they can do it (teehee~). The following scenes are from their respective unis, with Maya talking to his friends about joining study groups, and Nemu talking to Okino about his and Maya's couple rings. <3

Later on Maya finds out from Nemu that he became acquainted with Shimakawa Naoya (YES, THAT SEX GOD NAOYA AKA AKIRA'S LOVER) and Maya panics. As seen in a previous chapter, Naoya and Maya know each other from way back, and apparently he had been supplying Maya with girls (LOL this was before Nemu and Maya got together, of course), so I guess Maya doesn't want Nemu to find out about that?

So here's where the fishy blond dude enters the picture. He's someone from Maya's uni, older than him. He asks Maya a favor in exchange for lunch tickets and exam reviewers (past test papers). Regarding the favor, blond dude asked Maya for help in inviting guests to a certain party that he's organizing. Maya refuses at first, but eventually got swayed and agreed to help him. The succeeding pages shows Maya and Nemu at Maya's part-time job discussing the organizing gig, with Maya complaining he doesn't want to do it anymore and Nemu scolding him for being half-assed.

Finally, the scene shifts to the party. Maya learns the blond guy's name (it's Ruka, apparently). The final page shows Maya's thoughts about Ruka, saying he seems like a harmless person but can really fuck things up for you. Something like that.

(▰˘◡˘▰)

In chapter two, Nemu gets a part-time job at a cram school, but he has a shift on Maya's day off, so of course, Maya being Maya, he got pissed and scolded Nemu for it. Haha. Nemu reasoned out, apologize, and tried to appease his boyfriend.

Next we see Maya in uni and Furukawa (Ruka) approaches him and asks him for another favor. Maya refuses before he can even tell him what it is, but Ruka keeps talking and manages to convince Maya again, albeit half-heartedly.

In the next scene, Maya is shown sleeping and is woken up by a call from a female friend who knows Fukurawa. Curious, Maya asks her about him and came to the conclusion that the guy is only networking. So the following day Maya confronts him about it but Furukawa tells him he's not networking, but rather he's figuring out his life and what to do with it. Maya then told him he's no longer taking any gigs from him, explaining he has no time because *points to his couple ring* (TEEHEE MAYA I'M SO PROUD OF YOU <3) so Furukawa's like, oh okay, you have a girl, alright. So while Maya was leaving, Furukawa called out to him one more time and threw him a piece of paper containing information on a librarian. There have been several translations for Maya's major, but I'm guessing he's taking Library Science. Anyway, Furukawa informed Maya of a part-time job at a library, so Maya called Nemu and told him about it and they had a lovey-dovey (sort of) phone convo.

Maya then went to the library and met with the librarian Furukawa referred him to. Maya learns the ropes of the job and afterward, he and the librarian ended up talking about Ruka. Anyway, toward the end of the conversation with librarian-san, Maya realized he probably wasn't cut out for library work (remember Maya's motivation for studying to be a librarian was his interest in erotic books). He approached Ruka again and told him about his realization. Ruka hands him another piece of paper containing god knows what and Maya thinks to himself that it should be okay.

The last couple of pages show Maya and Nemu POST-SEX (*cry* I assumed it was post, since they're both naked in bed), and they talk about Maya's decision. Nemu wouldn't shut up about it, so Maya makes him by asking him what Nemu wants to do to him (there's a scene earlier on about this). This is the scene where a blushing Nemu whispers something to Maya's ear (A SUPER SWEET SCENE IMO) and they both blush and Maya tells him he can't do *that*. Whatever that is, only Yonezou-sensei knows~

Oh my gosh, chapter 44 ;__; <3

Pretty art, but story is blah

Ah, where and how do I even begin? I don't read shoujo manga as often as I do BL and yaoi because most heroines tend to annoy the heck out of me, but Futaba didn't so little fujoshi me ended up reading all 49 chapters in one night, and slept at 5AM, with a million feels and a few teardrops in my eyes. Lol

This manga reminded me of Kdramas because of the usual tropes, but it was still pretty refreshing to read. The characters are flawed and human and ordinary, so they were in many ways relatable. I love that Futaba was mature despite her age. Actually, most of them were. I wanted to hate Narumi, but I could empathize even with her.

Even the side couples were interesting and loveable. Shuuko and Aya, especially. I love how their romance was saved for last. So fluffy! Yuuri seems like your typical cute maiden type of character, but she was mature and reliable and just an overall good person. Kou is the typical brooding, mysterious male lead with a darkish past, but he was also adorable and romantic that I couldn't help vouching for him even in the presence of a great guy like Touma.

Anyway, this is getting long. Haha. I just wanted to comment that this manga exceeded all my expectations and took me on a feels trip, which I haven't gone on in a while.

Ah, if it were me...

"Sleep with me."
"GLADLY!!!!!!!!!!"

LOL he is so sexyyyyyyy ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄
