Hanahaki - there should be so much more manga and stories with that trope!! Way to underrated and even in the fanfiction world it’s not that common and if it’s always so tragic :( (I can get behind angst like here when it has good endings but no tragedy pls)
Those two were so wholesome!

Could have been a lot better; I’d have preferred for yuki to just be a friend, also instead of a teacher student thing they could have made another student maybe student council president into the love interest of yuki; I’d have also preferred if yuki takao and hiro could have been good friends and that Hiro could have helped both of them overcome their fear of the dark as friends bc It’s kinda sad when hiro notices that yuki can’t go looking for takao when he went missing so I’d have liked for them to be good friends as well

So for me it’s 4 stars. I really like the art style, luca is so freaking cute and handsome and the piercing!! I also love how they are just so horny for each other with both of them being really forward. healthy and talking about what they want and exploring things. however it was bit rushed esp. if you think about how major Makoto’s decision is at the end, I would have liked to see their relationship develop more slowly or with more details. But yeah the only thing to really criticize is how it wasn’t really addressed that makoto obviously was someone very susceptible to prejudice. Like the way he basically made everything Luca said or did into him being a representation of his culture or him having a nightmare about Luca eating his pet like hello? He may be a maasai but he won’t eat your pet etc. Like it’s okay to initially make makoto how he was because it was a reaction to encountering sm from a very different culture but then it should at least be addressed and changed gradually and more transparently

One of my most favorite bl, I reread it multiple times and I’m so in love with the both of them and their healthy and wholesome relationship!!
The main story is hard though so it that is something that does weigh in a lot to the whole sad and tragic feeling with the semes story

A perfect example of how only a good art can achieve high ratings even though the rest is average if not below average. Rio is so unbelievably unsympathetic to me, it’s like he emotionally didn’t age one bit since we saw him in the other stories as a child. He thinks, behaves and acts like a child. He’s 20 and behaves like a spoiled, selfish brat, that absolutely is the worst at communicating instead using force most of the time. The sex scenes weren’t satisfying cause for some reason a lot of Mangaka just use the word no as a filling word even though they actually wanted to draw consensual scenes which is just frustrating to say the least. I hate the fact that the thing with his dads was not resolved since the og story like wtf happened there, again he is like 20 or smth has been living with the fact that his dad remarried and has been living since he was a child with both of these dads and you want to tell me that he since that didn’t progress with them and their relationship. For 15 years? Like even if he had a problem all this time there’s just no way that this conversation wasn’t existing years earlier. So that just pisses me off that they made it like that. All in all huge waste of potential I’m sorry, no hate. It’s just, it could and should have been a lot better and (I’m just sad bc of this beautiful and breathtaking art) than it was and def does not deserve this high rating. Art isn’t everything!

I’ve read a few chapters but dropped it then (2021), is it worth reading it? Were those things resolved?

don’t really like stories where one person is bat shit crazy and drags the other one in, either it’s both of them being equally twisted and crazy from the beginning with same power dynamics or they’re healthy and have a balanced power dynamic. Also what a lot of ppl miss and ignore (like always when the seme is the one being forced) this one here has definitely at least dubcon in it, and yes I mean the uke with the one doing the unconsentual stuff - getting the seme drunk, sucking his dick while he’s unconscious, riling him up, sleeping with him while he’s super drunk, recording the sex without permission and to use as blackmail. Major rapey vibes on top of the uke already being crazy. Could have been interesting if both of them were equally as crazy in the beginning and fully consenting but this is just not the case and just some crazy person dragging another one in the depths of madness through manipulation, blackmail and force. So big no for me dawg

This story wasn’t bad, cute at times but it 100% does not deserve 9.1 and that’s not just an opinion but a fact. Like this story and the couple doesn’t have any factor that makes a story to a story you’d rate high like that. On top of that they really don’t have any chemistry and I can’t be the only one thinking that they actually really don’t belong together. Like they don’t have anything in common at all. Can someone tell me why they are together because the story itself acknowledged that there’s literally no reason for them to be dating.
This was not written authentically imo or like they actually could stay together. Like this is one of the couples you see and go : ain’t no way they’re making it. not because they’re unhealthy no that’s definitely not the case but it doesn’t need to be that for a relationship not to work. and this relationship realistically won’t work out long term like there’s literally no base for it to work out. Also it annoys me how the mc was insecure about them being in different dimensions but not because they have nothing in common (bc that is something that should concern him) but more bc he’s a “commoner” while the other one is popular and stuff like bro you have way pressing issues at hand. All in all it’s not terrible, you can read it but you won’t really miss anything if you don’t read it.

Yikes! Uke is a half beast pet, by the looks a teen and definitely thinks or behaves childlike, he is dependent on the seme, has an inferior position, also no self confidence bc of the societal position he grew up in, just lost his father, his home, so he’s isolated too. Seme is an adult, master of the pet, literally just took him in bc a rare species. If that was only was without plot, then fine, but this story wants to actually have a plot and that’s why yikes, bc it’s starting off with like the worst dynamics. So… grooming.

I like the authors art, the story was okay but honestly there was always this icky feeling with the seme. Tbh I don’t think that they have a healthy relationship or communication going on. It’s not toxic necessarily, bc there’s a spectrum between healthy and toxic, but still just not healthy. When the uke said how awesome it is to communicate while having sex and it feels like a couple, I was like yes that is awesome but that’s not really happening with you two. Like just bc the author writes a sentence like that, it doesn’t mean that it was actually portrayed that they can communicate or do it. Bc no they didn’t. Especially the seme with just doing whatever he wants etc. And it pisses me off how his behavior is presented as some kind of bdsm thing but honestly for me it was just him selfishly getting his needs satisfied. like he just did what he wanted to do, then it was always about how the uke should lay still and whatever not. I’ve read some good bdsm yaois and those were never so onesided and whatever. So no I don’t think his behavior was okay whatsoever or had anything to do with healthy bdsm. Idk I like this author but they had another manga (koi kirari, kage sururi ) were again the couple had this very weird vibe going on, like they’re just not ready for a relationship, and I get the exact feeling here as well

I didn’t expect much going into it, like it could be okay but turns out it was really cute and wholesome! I really liked their chemistry and supportive relationship. And the art is so beautiful as well!
