This manga would have been two stars, but I liked Ao so much that I had to give it an extra star. This manga is problematic on a few levels, but the only character that I could summon any sympathy for was Ao. His feelings about admitting to his lie were heart-wrenching in a way few yaoi mangas are. Every time the uke would cheat, I would feel my frustration levels rising. And they doubled when Ao would forgive him easy as anything. Once, the uke didn't even have to confess and Ao forgave him! Truly a saint, if not for the lying. Which is a major part of his motivation for everything. Why he forgives the cheating uke and would do anything for him. That and his irrefutable love. The other seme was almost a non-entity. I didn't particularly like or dislike him and he might as well could have been anyone. The uke was a waste of air. He spends the whole manga confused and conflicted and sleeping with the other seme any chance he got. He almost had me convinced that he was actually going to resist the other seme's advances at one point, but then he proceeded to sleep with him anyway. Overall, Ao should have rode off into the sunset with the other seme(turned uke). Then the uke could have went and got drunk and slept with whoever he deemed attractive enough before he got wasted, like he did at the party in the beginning of the manga.
