Shunpei and Fumihiro are childhood best friends and neighbours. After Fumi comes out to Shunpei, the latter finds himself suddenly being much more conscious of their relationship. During a jealous/protective fit, Shunpei ends up offering himself to be Fumi’s lover. Things look perfect, as Fumi confesses his feelings for Shunpei, but things get complicated when he states that he refuses to be the bottom. Shunpei doesn’t want to either, so what now? —- I find myself coming back to this one decently often, and it’s decent over all. Still has problems though... The biggest one is Fumihiro’s insecurity in their relationship, with him becoming irrational and aggressive when it’s really not necessary(Like when he explodes at Mayu, Shunpei’s ex, when she hasn’t done anything wrong). It also kind of feels like Shunpei is the one who always has to apologise and fix things, when Fumi isn’t always innocent in their dumb fights. I get that he is insecure because his feelings have been unrequited for so long, but come onnnn(Shunpei literally trained himself to bottom for you). He has moments of being cute and loving(like when he made breakfast and then went to wake up Shunpei), and you do feel for him and his frustrations of having to live with his secret feelings for so long. So not the best, but forgivable IMO. Shunpei is a decent character too, but I also find myself frustrated at him and his moments of hypocris(becoming jealous when learning that Fumi watches porn, when Shunpei watches it too, like bruh), and he can be painfully dumb sometimes. But he doesn’t seem like a bad dude either, and much like Fumi, mostly just seems to be an immature high schooler. I hated everything that had to do with Hagami. Fucker refused to back off when he was told no. And I don’t understand why Fumi didn’t just turn him down completely, and ran off with him after causing a mess that Shunpei then had to fix. Communication people, communication. Aki was awful too. Creepy, fetishist fujoshi trash. Like, who gets mad about not being able to fantazise about their gay neighbour, because his partner is your brother and he doesn’t have the “role” that you think he should have?? And also refuses to let them be intimate with each other for the same reason?? Leave them ALONE, this isn’t about youuu. I get not wanting people to screw while you’re still in the house, but she literally stops them when they try to go to Fumi’s home instead???? This is a great example of why the word “fujoshi” has such terrible connotations. Something I liked about it was that they didn’t dive into anal immediately, and actually showed the long and difficult process of getting Shunpei’s body ready. This is pretty much the only example I’ve seen of this, with only one other example coming to mind(Neko x Neko), so the realism is appreciated. The childhood friends aspect also appealed to one of my favourite tropes, so that’s a huge plus lol.
