I really enjoyed this. Its a welcomed change to see a couple in their 30s who have been together since their high school elopement, and I appreciate watching their realistic ups and downs. I am also glad its in a comedic tone and not overtly dramatic. Definitely a gem I shall re-visit.
Crap, this was hot as hell!! Hiroki and Seiji are both so damn good looking I wanna do a threesome with them bahahaha. Seriously tho, I really enjoyed the plot and little pockets I had thinking who is gonna backstab who?? My only gripe is that the "I love you" from Seiji came without enough build up of feelings and romance - you only really get that in chapter 6 and 7. But nahh, its ok. Am gonna re-read this a million times anyway, huhu
I loved the pacing! It was just right. And my gosh, those two are so so adorable. Iida's inner thought and expressions were so cute. And when Kon sobbed right after their first smexy time and thought it was the end I kinda squeezed a tear or two meself. Ahh these cuties made my day and yeah I wuv em!
I loved that the uke took things in his rein and decided that no matter what, he would remain in love and in control of his feelings. I loved the quiet desperation the seme displayed. And for a change, I appreciated the subtle smut - it was nice to focus on their expressions. But best of all, I loved D.Bug's stage performance. I could FEEL the energy of their show from the panels, the fans going crazy, the tensed moments and that awesome huzzah!! feeling when the stools were brought out.
"I love you. I'm head over heels for you, to the point of death"
""Forget about being one portion, and please become my whole life"
Aaaaah. Them words. THEM WORDSSSS!
I really appreciate how the 2 MCs are fleshed out every chapter, displaying their fears and vulnerabilites. You can really sense the stress and worries, especially from Shige. He is such a contradiction - possessive over Shin and yet wanting to be his wings and let him fly. And Shin is truly the cutest cinnamon roll, everyone wants to shield him from the dangers of the entertainment industry. Despite his naivety and inexperience tho, he truly loves Shige too. I feel so much for their deep affection for one another. And the support cast are awesome too. Cant wait for volume 5, a blooming side romance from the two managers and the reveal of Hanasaki's boyfriend!
Exactly! The way they face their fears is just so.... good! Can't wait for vol.5 as well! (≧∀≦)
I got very invested reading this, but I have mixed feelings about it. The MCs were all excellent in their own right, especially Chang for me personally - complex, dark and broody. However, more of their backstory shudv been told, esp Mcqueen and Chang. It wudv allowed their characters to be more fleshed out. I was also frustrated as Ed kept a lot of things from Mcqueen like the rape, and blamed him for his foray into porn. Esp as their relationship was meant to be deep and abiding by that time and they wanted to start over together. Overall though, this was an awesome, memorable read, and re-read.
Seme is a totally arrogant and selfish bastard who 1) made a play on a drunk virgin 2) aggressively sexually harassed him in his office 3) cheated on him 4) and basically treated the uke like some annoying piece of roach.
Then when the uke finally gets backbone to get a life away from you, you decide you are in love and wasting away because its unrequited? SCREW YOU. You dont deserve him. AT ALL.
Awww this was pure sugary smut. Loved it. They were definitely a good couple and I wanna just keep cheering them on and hope they stay on together waaaay past chapter 57 lol. Toya is such an awesome seme and Kazumi is an adorable muffin. LOVE!
I didnt especially like Rogi. His character design didnt appeal much to me. However, he did NOT rape Tatsuyuki. He did compel a decision for Tatsuyuki decide either Nozomi or himself to "pay" that 20 mil via sex but it wasnt rape as Tatsuyuki did know what was going to happen and consented to it, as as a Yakuza Fourth, if he wanted to Tatsuyuki CUDV found some other way to pay Rogi or make him shut up. Its not that he WANTED to have sex with Rogi but kinda just gave in to his demands.
The one who DID RAPE Tatsukuyi was actually Nozomi guys, because the first time he found Tatsuyuki, he was drunk and fairly unconscious and didnt even realize it was Nozomi having sex with him, there was NO permission whatsover. Not that I hate Nozomi, I think he is really beautiful, but it was really bothering me that the rapist pointed out in most comments here is the wrong guy.
Having said all that I love this manga, I love the chemistry between Tatsuyuki and Nozomi, I appreciate how the story and backstory was fleshed out, and def a manga I shall re-read many many times.
Yes, Nozomi even said it himself that Tatsuyuki should'vee hated him for doing that ro Tatsu when he was drunk! He knew his own mistakes yeS!
Coercion is still rape. There’s a reason people in power are not allowed to sleep with the people under them. If you didn’t enter the agreement as a willing, equal, participant, we are talking about rape.
But yes, we will not overlook that Nozomi, despite my vast love for him, definitely raped Tatsuyuki. Tats was under the impression he was someone else and was super drunk.
Consent is almost completely nonexistent in BL. Unfortunately.
It's clear as daylight that Rogi raped Tatsuyuki. Forced him into a corner and tried to wreck as badly as he could. Felt bad for him throughout the whole story.
