4. straight seme was dumped/divorced by his wife two years ago in christmas. he cant forget it and drinks excessively at the bar...a gay bar in which he didnt know. he meets bartender there and have one night stand that he cant forget about the guy.
theres something about the way this mangaka draws. the little details/interaction tell so much about their charcters...you guys dont want to miss out on them.
omg, the way seme treats him!!!!!
-closing the curtains so he would only lok at him...
-seeing uke limp so he rub uke so he can get hard during sex
-somehow i cant really follow the story? its jumbled and cut scenes are awkward..maybe its the translate? im not sure...
-manga solely focus on seme's view and thoughts. none of the uke..which i would have appreciated to understand both characters.
-so i guess they have physical relationship but not dating. uke is actually a virgin and never had a relationship? but came on to the seme that one time. uke doesnt want to get serious with seme bc seme is straight.
-when the event happened, he was upset to see seme there but all touchy with another guy. he got mad/sad?
Overall, I understood the story but I couldn't really follow it (especially after ch. 2)... I don't know what it was..maybe it was the cut scenes or the pacing?
The story is mostly written on itsuki's point of view and thoughts. Which means we only have limited information on what Minato thinks about Itsuki. I appreciate that bc that's how real life works...you dont know how a person think of you. By making it like that, it fits the story bc both of them don't know how the other feels about them.
For example:
-itsuki likes minato but he thinks minato only view him as a nobody.
-Minato likes itsuki but thinks itsuki view him as sex partner. He also sees itsuki as a "straight guy curious of gay sex"
and because of these thoughts, both of them misunderstands each other..which is the main part of the story.
the art is also really pretty. there is something about the way this mangaka draws (as I have seen in their previous work--hanagara tsumi). the little details/interaction tell so much about their characters...and you guys don't want to miss out on them! To read this story, you must read in-between the lines and interpret their expressions to fill in the story.
