This was painfully beautiful. Katsumi's vulnerable emotions and self-loathing were laid bare here and it was so well done. You felt SO much for his pain. Maki is a beautiful man - so patient, forgiving and tenacious in his determination to save Katsumi. I liked the ending - it was obvious Katsumi needed much more time to heal but there was so much hope and love. I wish them all the best. The second story was a nice compliment after, it squeezed some angst but ended on a nice cheerful smexy note. Loved both, a keeper.
The Uncle aka Mum's long-term BF loved her so much that he couldnt let the son go after she dies and got all wierdly obsessive and creepy. But somehow there was an iota of rationality left in the Uncle where he realized he needed to let him go and live his own life, hence sending him on that outstation errand. And MC sounded like he forgave him somewhat in the end, as he seemed to understand what drove Uncle to do what he did. So first, he obsessively loved the Mum, then he obsessively loved the son. Creepy AF yes, but pretty sad too.
Me too....
Not really into furries, but this was well done. So was the angst. Plot was decent, characters were likeable. I liked how theirs was a long relationship, from the time Daath was a teen, and that despite their fated bond, they are shown to have their up and downs but managed to work it out and build on their love and understanding through it all. We should all be so lucky.
I am just amazed by Sensei's ability to capture all these human sentiments in such details, without having to resort to smut to keep us emotionally invested. (The torrid sex only came at the last chapter, that kinda surprised me for a yakuza/criminal underworld themed manga) This was an intense story about self-forgiveness, redemption, hope and cherished love and it knocked the feet out from under me.
The flow of vulnerable emotions, chapter after chapter, was so well done. I had initially expected this to be bittersweet, so I am happy it wasnt. It just goes to show that you can choose to love, and choose happiness for yourself, regardless of the unrequited love you chose to hide all this while. That that past wont break you and you can move past it and embrace passion and contentment with someone who truly cares.
The sequel to Doreshitemou Furetakunai, another memorable work by Yoneda Kou. Deguchi holds his unrequited flame for Onoda close to his heart for 3 years but it unravels and he found the courage to confess. I appreciated how Onoda stumbled and fumbled in discovering his attraction to Deguchi, and the realistic portrayal of a developing relationship between a gay man and a straight one. As always, Sensei never fails to make my heart flutter and squeeze with every panel.
My heart felt little squeezes of exquisite pain chapter after chapter. I love reading stories of unrequited love with a HEA. I love the nuances, the meaningful glances and the slow-burn build up to the confession and torrid sex you know is definitely coming. Ahhh this was great.

My heart's all a-flutter! This is one of the best and most fun omegaverse stories I have read. I liked the plot and its surprises, I loved the character design of the MCs. Lim Hyung is such a manly omega and Hae-Il (Esp dark Hae-Il) is hot! And they are REVERSIBLE bahahaha talk about making my day! And throughout the final wedding chapter I just had a goofy smile on my face. I felt the love so much! 5/5 from me and to many future re-reads!
Its interesting how many stalkers one can have...... Overall, I quite liked this manga. The main story was decent but I found the plot holes and some introduced items wierdly unexplained that left me a little frustrated. However its a shounen ai and the nature of the story was sweet and quite comedic in turns so I am ok. The side story had so much potential tho, I honestly wished it could have been developed into more chapters.
