Mimi's manga / #BL(760)

I'm not really here for threesomes but I wanted to put that aside because the art was cute... I couldn't really get past it. Update: Ok, so I'm looking at the tags and their is a trans character along with poly rep that I'm guessing happens eventually so that kinda makes me wanna pick this back up... kinda. I hate- I mean really really really really really hate love triangles with a burning passion. I also hate the gender bent/swap trope because they're always done for comedy or an excuse. BUT if the triangle becomes poly and the gender bent/swap shit is wrong and we’re actually dealing with a trans character…. maybe.

Oh MAN do I wanna scream. I really need a stressed facepalm emoji for books like these. First off, the obvious ear fetish isn't my thing but that's whatever. I can live with that. The student/teacher relationship isn't my thing. In fact, it has me on edge because I know anyone at any age can be a student and I was hoping the student(s) would be 20+ in uni... and I was wrong. The 3rd couple has a student who's a 2nd-year high schooler so he'd be a junior who's at least 17. I instantly skipped the rest of that chapter. Another thing I've noticed is the excuse of rape and abuse that's very similar to Junjo Romantica's romantica storyline and it makes me uncomfortable. "Rape to Lovers" is bullshit. Consistently people overstep the other's boundaries despite the other telling them to stop or expressing their anger. I'm tired of this just being overlooked and ok. I'm not even gonna touch the incest thing that pissed me off even more after finding out they're a trans character! Like, bless! You have a trans character! But for it to be the first BL story I've read to have a trans character and their story to involved incest killed me inside. I'm too old for this, it just screams Junjo and it makes me sigh so hard. There's so much wrong in these stories that I couldn't finish this fucking book. The only person with any sense in this manga was Ninose. Also, the use of the word "monopolize" makes me wanna punch a wall.

Love the art, there were some points in the translation that pissed me off but nothing really horrible to drop or hate this book. While I do think the story was fine, it didn't really leave me wanting to read more about this couple. Those *clap* bonus *clap* chapters *clap* felt like they dragged on way too long. Like, the manga ended 4 times already.

It would be nice to see vols 5 on here as well

It's been awhile so I want to reread this and come back here
