Sumire's manga / #school life(248)

Feels like it's missing a volume in the middle to tie the whole story together. Last chapters - the son of the abuser is friendly with the bodyguard - and both the male leads in the first story end up in marriage (presumably denying their relationship) so you feel kinda 'what was the point?' The whole revenge arc is missing - which is why this feels incomplete.

This manga breaks the fourth wall, and then stampedes over it - straight to your funny-bone. The characters are well-aware they're in a Yaoi manga and haul out the tropes about semes to laugh at. - That's my review regarding the "April Fool's" version. Otherwise you can see the set up for this one a mile away - cute uke type who 'hates homos' is tired of getting pervy come ons or almost raped - is befriended by tall seme to be 'pretend boyfriends' to protect him. Of course the emotions will turn real. So sit back, get some popcorn and watch this plot spool out in the path you know it will take. Wear it like your comfy slippers.

Story is decent. Art style is a bit monotonous as all the character faces look the same with overly pointy jaw lines. As usual, most of the drama/angst could be solved if people actually spoke to each other.
