Zag's manga / #Betrayal(6)

Terumi was Shouji's boyfriend's, Honami, first love. A jealous and curious Shouji meets Terumi and will feel attracted to him. To be able to see him he will use the pretext that Terumi could feel Honami's heat through Shouji's body. They will not be late to admit that they are strongly attracted to each other and not out of curiosity anymore. But their relationship with Honami will put their love to the test. ==The best of Sadahiro Mika in my opinion. I just love how strongly they are attracted to each other, how far their love could bring them to do. They are truly in love. ==The tattoos, such a brilliant idea. I like the drawing pattern but also its meaning: the T as a cross, the S as a serpent, the serpent being coiled around the T: love, together in the sin, or love so strong that their sin has been forgiven. ==Cheating is often painful but their love was strong and sincere, no fake, no temporary attraction, and they proved it, so...I forgive them :-) ==I really love the way Terumi reacted when he discovered some truth about Shouji (i.e. that Shouji did not spend time with Honami for days, while Shouji came to meet Terumi as usual, pretending he had sex with Honami ~~ or, my favorite, when a friend surfer told Terumi about the plan Shouji had organized to make Honami & Terumi break up, and Terumi to react "The one who suggested the plan to Shouji was ME")......HA!

Kidaka and Kazu have been going out for 3 years and live together. One day, out of the blue, Kidaka suggests Kazu they should return to being friends only because he "doesn't feel like it anymore", but he wants to stay living with him to save up some money. Kazu agrees to his decision, even though his heart doesn't, and Kidaka starts playing around and bringing girls at home. However, when Kazu brings a man at their place, Kidaka will understand that he made a big mistake and will eventually pay for it. ==I can understand that you can fall out of love, it is sad, but unfortunately cannot be helped. You can't force someone to love. In this story I've understood it is more a passing whimp...But what a harsh way to explain your feelings to your partner by saying, one day out of the blue: "Hey, we've been going out for 3 years, I kinda don't feel like it anymore, how 'bout we go back to being just friends?" "Oh, but can we still live together? At least until I save up enough money to move". What a jerk, haha. ==Many people said Kidaka cheated on Kazu, I understand he "betrayed" his feelings (because Kazu was still really in love with the seme (he felt it was like a nightmare he would wake up from soon)), it was done without warning and even without properly considering the uke's feelings, not that I want to defend the seme, but both parties agreed on breaking up before the seme started to bring back girls and fool around. So technically no, he did not cheat. But the uke's feelings were trampled, and I am happy he got his revenge (many yaois with betrayal or cheating themes are left with a feeling of great unsatisfaction, because the betrayal was taken lightly or the cheater got off lightly).
