If! I mean If! Ibara San wasn't included in the picture, I'd say, Izuna kun and Rin kun would just be the best pair and partners, considering all the stuff this spin off gives us...I kind of imagined this if world, where Ibara San isn't married or in love with Izuna kun.
Also considering the main story, about the meiji arc, If Ibara was not his wife, then Kai kun had a chance too...
So all i can say, that The Homosexual subtexts are very much clear yet due to the canon pair both are just not able to get the light of the day.
Again, I don't mean to offend anyone. It's just how I felt after reading the first meeting chapter of Izuna and Rin. I still love their beautiful relationship even in canon universe tho. But well a guy can dream hehe~

Lemme be clear, I really wanted the redemption arc to be satisfactory...but IT WAS JUST STRAIGHT UP FORCED AND RUSHED! WHY IN HELL THEY ADAPT STORIES LIKE THOSE TO DRAW THIS BEAUTIFULLY!!!?
Also the Uke was exploited to his core with BDSM, later he was happy with another guy, but the appearance of Seme made him aggrieved. And he killed that guy who was actually in love with the Uke.
Later, when the Seme realised uke was pregnant with child, he straight up believed it to be bastard child but when the caretaker said, the uke didn't have sex with anyone but the emperor, the seme bolted just UTTERLY PATHETIC BASTARD!!!
Later we see his childhood, bla bla bla...n why he became cold n so on. And Seme when sees the Uke doing well with their, he literally accused the guy who was kind enough to shelter the uke n child, and the Uke looked so much happy. But then that pest kept on appearing, later we see some 2 pares of his lament although it's all in arrogant tone.
Then there's a coup de tat..n the shelter of the man n uke gets burned by the emperor's competitors or so, n then we see seme again appearing before they killed the child, n protects the uke, the uke being worried about the man in the house. Later he cries n cries.. believing that the Uke was at fault for getting raped, abused, sexually harrassed by the seme n cries for the well being of the Seme!
IT WAS SO DISGUSTING THAT THE UKE IS ALL HEART EYES WHEN THE SEME WAKES UP. THEY HAVE SEX, N LATER THET HAVE A SECOND CHILD!!!! WHAT IN HELL WAS THE PLOT!?
THE KIND MAN KEPT ON SUGGESTING THE UKE SHOULD LEAVE THE HATRED AND GO TO HIS MAJESTY!!! BRO! WHY CAN'T YOU STOP TALKING LIKE A PREACHER!? YOU DON'T KNOW SHET WHAT THE UKE WENT THROUGH!!! THE SEME IS TRASH!
I'LL SAY HE'S LITERALLY THE SAME AS SILENT LOVER 2 SEME! SCUMMIEST & STRAIGHT UP RAPIST, ARROGANT, TRASH, INHUMAN!
OKAY...SO NOW U KNOW...LEAVE URSELF THE TROUBLE AND PRESS BACK WHILE YOU STILL HAVE TIME! DON'T WASTE UR PRECIOUS TIME & FEELINGS ON THIS GARBAGE PLOT!!
Thank you for reading

I remember there's another character who looks a lot like Hiura...but taller with a cowlick, Abe Haruaki from Youhaji manga... their cuteness level is pretty much Omygod also the ML reminded me of Sano Mikoto lol..I wonder if anyone else knows about this and that manga both.
Anygays I loved it

Usss! My god! I'm just curious about Sano's past and his connection to Seimei's death...I mean...I think there are some lingering attachment between them that's why they connected later, after reincarnation of Seimei. It's just my theory tho, since I'm really super bad in love with SanoHaru ship...n EbiHaru too...so yeah, I am currently reading it again since my exams r near lol.
Hahaha~^^

Exactly! I ship him almost with every character except Izuna n Girls...Hahaha no matter where I comment, either it's Ao3 or here, someone who replies always says my pfp is extreme NGL...I really love it when they notice the characters makes me think I'm not the only perv existing hahaha~ (≧▽≦)
Btw...did u know Byakko is a guy?
Kim Dokja's (from Omniscient Readers Viewpoint) mother was right, Re-reading something makes you have another experience of the story~ ^^

EVERYTHING IS FOINE! BUT NO! I'm not okay Donald bruh reminded me of Shindo Ainosuke so much...I mean he was never a bad guy at will... anygays I believe that he goult Isekai ed into another universe where he and Gray r best buddies and Stephen is Gray's boyfriend...yes I believe in that..since the epilogues r not out... I'm ALLOWED TO HAVE MY VERSION OF IMAGINATION ENDING

Yes.. there's a huge difference between their ages, but just let me ask you, if they met when uke was 30 and seme was 45... Then? Then it wouldn't phase you one bit becoz that's legal enough.
You need to stop spouting BS when you know you'll have different opinions when it's tampered a little.
I loved the Author's first work and this one too. Ofcourse I'm not forcing you to read it, you can do whatever you want, but please stop calling their relationship toxic when if anything, the Uke consented first! IT'S BL! THE COVER PAGE HAS THEIR PICS SIDE BY SIDE!!! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?! A CUTE FATHER/SON BONDING? JEEZ! GET REAL! UNLIKE MOST IRRITATING PLOTS ATLEAST THEY DID IT BY MUTUAL CONSENT, IF THE UKE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HIS FEELINGS THE SEME WOULDN'T HAVE CROSSED ANY LINE AT ALL EVEN IF HE LOVED HIM!
And I don't see it as Incest...at all. Nor pedo, not grooming, the child wasn't touched with ill intentions when they were young...so get your definition correct before hating on stories like this!
Karens may come and argue about their values, but don't expect me to change my mind just coz u want me to. If you don't want to read it, go away, why hate on comments? Intellectually deficit peeps...
Artstyle is so bad...n same goes for that disgusting plot... might have been better if the MC died atleast....
