ALisAnimeLover's manga / #Realistic(15)

Sometimes the dialogues are confusing (who's saying what). The story isn't as confusing though. The story simply came off bland to me (mostly because of the dialogues and the characters). I like the realistic touch of how to be in a relationship where your kinks are different, and only one party enjoys. Also, how not understanding your partner's kink properly may result to harm.

TW: pedophilia, sexual abuse, child pornography, trauma (note: not by the MC to the ML or vice-versa, but by a third character) Hngggh, child porn syndicates and pedophiles should all die and go to hell. Like right now. This is a beautifully realistic portrayal of someone going through a traumatic experience of watching a friend get abducted and go through hell. The only thing stopping me from giving it a 5* is the ending, on how easily the victim just ran away from the perpetrator when the MC remembered him.

As much as I love the story, it feels like I'm missing something between volume 1 and 2. I have no problems with volume 2, and on its own, I can rate it 10/10 without batting an eye. In volume 1, I do love how their toxic relationship was presented, the reason behind it, and how they still love each other despite it. It's just that they suddenly resolved the toxicity, and it wasn't shown in the manga (the seme's side mostly; the uke's side was shown, but it's the seme that's more toxic tbh). I'm okay with mangas leaving some details open to the readers' imaginations, but this one felt like a big gap. But oh well, I'm glad they changed for the better.

I want an extra where he finally talks with his mother about it
