My brain rots every time I read yaoi that brushes off rape like it's nothing. I was misled, it is not cute nor fluffy at all if the story has nonconsensual sex just for the sake of it. There are a lot of good yaoi that are untranslated but somehow this one got a translation. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Why do I get the feeling that Uke will be sexually assaulted by the other yakuza members? Hopefully I'm wrong and this story will go into the wholesome route.

The feeling I had whilst reading this was vaguely reminiscent of the time I was reading Banana Fish. There was never a dull moment and the suffocating sense of dread as the story progressed kept me going. I was too engrossed with the plot and the characters that sometimes I needed to take a breather just to remind my brain that what I was reading is fiction. Though, I am not a big fan of works with themes of sexual exploitation, rape, abuse, etc., the author executed it very well and it did not feel out of place nor forced. Overall a very good read! 4.5/5

Those old noble ladies at the banquet looked so regal and dignified as it should have been in stories involving high society. I love how the artist took care in consideration of depicting them in a manner that suits the time period.

I don't get why there are people who vehemently ship the two of them. It is very clear that Helio has extreme hatred to Psyche and the only thing that is keeping him from slicing her dumb head from her neck is because she is in Medea's body. On what grounds would Helio start to have feelings for Psyche? Because she acts all dainty and innocent towards him or how she reminds him of the first time he met Medea? Hell no! From what I can see Helio is not that shallow of a character to easily fall in love with someone, especially to one of the very person who made Medea's life into hell.

If that truly happens then the author betrays all the plot points they have made from the start. Though, I doubt it will go into that direction seeing how the story progression has been great so far. There is no need to make a detour on making Helio fall in love to Psyche since it is unnecessary to the story and adds little to no sense to the plot.

Now that the prince and his entourage has been stripped of their powers and titles so what's stopping the royal family and the dukedom from getting rid of Marie? They are aware that she is the reason why the prince has been led astray from his duties as heir and not only that she is just from an insignificant noble family riddled with debt. It would be easy to eliminate her and make it look like an accident if they ever wanted to.
