i really liked this one. it felt like all those times i cried while reading a manga, don’t compare to reading this because this is real. this is what someone went through. i myself don’t feel normal. i’m still fairly young, i’m not sure if i want to be a woman, man, both, neither, gay, straight, or bisexual. but this manga really made me feel like no matter what or who i choose to be, i can still be happy. i can still go out and make friends, build relationships, just be me and be okay.
i vividly remember in my elementary school years seeing some of my classmates mention liking gay or trans characters in a show, or saying they themselves felt like they were into the same sex. i may have said some comments or questions that may have hurt them, i remember always asking “why do you like them”, and to this day i feel guilty and disappointed, but now understanding what i said wrong i’d like to apologize to them someday. looking back i was also easily influenced by small minded people, i didn’t have any friends before that school year, i was always very closed off and introverted. i believed that all friends had the same mindset and that i should always stick with my friends. so i have many regrets. i was young and stupid and didn’t know the difference between gay and not gay. i was really curious about the lgbt+ community, but no one talked about it, no one told me anything, other than the proper slurs, and that is was not normal.
it’s not until i got to my last year in middle school, that i started doing my own research. i got mad and frustrated at my friends who constantly brought down the happy couples waking around the halls, but more so myself for not doing anything about it. i distanced myself from those friends, we don’t speak to this day. it’s not until late 2019 i started noticing the hints i’ve felt since those elementary years. i too don’t feel like i belong. i always wanted to join those groups of people who were really open about themselves and ask how and why they are how they are. not as an insult, but because i want to know. i want to know if the questions they asked themselves are the ones i’ve asked myself. if they ever felt wrong with their friends too.
i hope everyone who also made the wrong decisions i’ve made come to learn what they did wrong, and how they can fix their mistakes.
this manga gives me a lot of hope for myself and for others struggling or feeling like they aren’t normal.
I hope you continue living a full and happy life :') I also grew up in a homophobic environment, so I definitely understand being angry at them but staying passive. I hope you can forgive yourself because you were still young and a really different person than you are now. I'm not trying to be condescending or patronizing because this is how I learned from my own mistakes too :'')
i don’t like the people who are saying we should seek help because we find this agreement okay, and they find it “rapey”. finding it rapey is the whole point of their newly found sexual relationship. tamaki’s guilt stops him from wanting to do anything sexual, especially when he’s alone. Shii wants to help him get over that by making is seem like he’s raping him. therefore, tamaki isn’t breaking the rules of not having sex he made for himself, someone else is breaking them for him. he’ll get used to the feeling, and not feel guilty anymore. tamaki is traumatized and scared of the feeling he gets when he’s aroused, he’s not asexual as he hinted himself by saying hes his mother’s son (he gets horny just as much as she does). this agreement is psychologically one of the best ways for tamaki to get over his trauma.

somebody really complained saying they didn’t like how she was the one who kept making the first move and he was constantly receiving like... THATS THE WHOLE POINT OF THE STORY LMAO
she wanted more confidence to be able to be an S he would find comfortable and love. and S is usually the one who initiates the play, and the M is on the receiving side. an S enjoys making their M feel good (depending on the play tbh), so they’re both being treated either way. and Nako even said she enjoys seeing his blushing face and reactions whenever they do a play because she knows it’s making him happy, and that she did a good job. i’m sorry lmao but it really cracked me up
