pyrokitten77's manga / #Kamon Saeko(4)

*sigh* Shinaka is constantly being molested for having a sexy body. One day, Jin takes notice and decides he'll "protect" Shinaka in exchange for sex. Shinaka refuses, but Jin doesn't listen and does what he wants anyway. Shinaka grows to like Jin (for some reason) but as things are finally getting to actual romance and not rape-y groping (only on Jin's part) Jin pulls away "for Shinaka's sake" but he doesn't tell Shinaka that so the poor boy believes that Jin hates him. After some time, they get together. The end. Blah.

Didn't care for this one. Kairi is (essentially) conned into being a "housekeeper" but when he gets there, it turns out that he's been engaged to a prince. The engagement payment has been used for Kairi's sick aunt to get treatment so Kairi can't leave the situation. Shuu believes that Kairi has been trying to seduce him in order to get money and almost rapes him once - going so far as to ask how many guys have had sex with Kairi - who is a virgin who hadn't even had his first kiss yet (which Shuu forcefully stole, btw). Shuu is a dick. He constantly believes the worst in Kairi (which, yeah, I saw where he'd had a tough time trusting people due to his childhood), almost rapes him, actually rapes him (on their wedding night), is extremely jealous for no reason at all, and he refuses to listen to Kairi.. The whole "plot" is an arranged marriage and Kairi needs to fulfill his "wifely" duties. They proclaim their love for one another after an assassination attempt when they haven't even had a conversation. Shuu can clearly see (after all is said and done) that Kairi is a good person but why does Kairi love Shuu? *sigh* I didn't feel a thing other than frustration while reading this.

My favorite couples were Yamamoto x Kitagawa and Atsushi x Keisuke (Chapters 1-3)
