ALisAnimeLover's manga / #Sexual harassment(35)

Ughhh, I hate it when a character misunderstands that because they're hard after getting sexually harassed, it means that they liked it. It just screams the lack of knowledge the author has of the subject tbh. Story suffers from being a short manga (it isn't finished yet ik, but seeing the pace, it's probably nearly ending or at least the main couple is going to get together soon) and there's no build-up on their relationship. They just went from being complete strangers to being comfy as housemates then suddenly the MC is in love, all within a chapter or two.

Ch 1-7.5 focuses on the first couple. As much as I want to call it "main couple", it's not. Because the second couple took a lot longer focus (vol 2 and 3 focused mostly on them). The first couple had a fast paced relationship which they did admit (lol). After all, they got together in like a week or two. Despite that, it didn't feel rushed (in terms of storytelling), since they're just both too easygoing and went with the flow of their relationship. The second couple is a tsundere x obsessed childhood friend. Which isn't my type at all (tbh, you can consider what the childhood friend is doing as sexual harassment). I don't like the childhood friend at all (too stupid, too much sexual advances, too less romantic advances). I didn't like the tsundere either (in his story. I liked him as a character outside his romantic entanglement lol), too tsundere. Soooooooo, I skipped. I mean, I read this like 5 years ago (up to 3rd volume iirc) when I still had low standards and I barely liked it. I'm glad I don't remember the story, but I won't let myself suffer again lol. And mind you, even in vol4 when they were already an official couple (or so I believe), they still act the same - especially the tsundere. I don't expect a big leap in character change, but damn, even a little growth would be appreciated, but you didn't have it. Vol 4 is about a new tenant related to Haruto's past. And I hate him lmao, another tsundere, too stupidly childish. He's already a fucking adult and he didn't grow up even a bit. The only thing I liked is how Haruto grew out of his shell; gotta love his honesty. The latter half of vol 4 focuses on all the tenants (too much spoilers if I say anything more). And I really love their familial relationship. I would love to see more of the whole tenant family, but, alas, this is yaoi and won't focus on non-bl things.

ML quit acting for unknown reasons (the MC wanted to ask at some point, but it was forgotten), then came back just because he learned the MC was a fan of his. (Just saying, one of the comments here made me have a different idea of the story. Because the comment said acting was ML's passion and MC was supportive of it. Yeahhhh... No. It isn't the ML's passion, just a part of his past. He doesn't even like people approaching him just because of it) The kissing scene with the girl is unnecessary ngl. It's just there to stir some argument between the MC and the ML. Plus, it's actually sexual harassment from the girl, but, hey, let's just forget about that and forgive her because she's a girl (let's be honest, if that was a guy and the ML was a girl, they would receive a slap or even a punch)... though she'd probably get a lot harsh bashing online :P I guess that's her punishment. (On that note, the ML also sexually harassed the MC with his sudden kiss and him kissing the ear. But heeeey, let's also forget about that because he's the ML and the MC is too naive to care.) (Also, just saying the 2* I gave isn't because of this. I legit don't care about it. If I really did, I'd give it a 1* lol) It's just... fine. Somehow it feels hella incomplete tbh.

The title Oh wow, an all-in-one update. Thanks Yun! *Spoilers* I'm just surprised the seme wasn't surprised that the uke knew everything lol. Also, I find it funnily cute (though very unbelievably stupid) that the seme never had any bad intentions when he was sexually harassing the uke. He just straight-up accepted what's happening in the bl manga he's reading as a "good" reference

CW: death (can be interpreted as suicide; ch 4), sexual assault (ch 5), drunk sex (ch 6) Ch 1-3 + 6-7: main story. Kinda sweet, kinda not. Idk, didn't feel anything. Too short. Ch 6-7 are extras... Which honestly made me dislike the story more than I did in the main 3 chapters. The uke is too tsundere for his own good, and I honestly can't tell if he really minded the drunk sex or not (ie whether the seme didn't apologize because he knew the uke was just being a tsundere, or because he's ~the boyfriend so he gets a free pass~). There's 2 more volumes as sequels, but I ain't gonna read them anymore. From the synopsis alone, looks like the uke is still as tsundere and insecure and the seme is a saint for reassuring him. I hope they get the character development they need, and I hope their relationship grows. But I still don't wanna see it, lol. Ch 4: boss's story. Pain in its purest form. I like how the love wasn't reciprocated romantically, because well... There's different types of love. Honestly one of my fave one shots. Ch 5: unrelated one shot. Eh, trash. Borderline a yandere story. Cliche "i love you so I'll forgive you" trope when seme sexually assaulted uke. Nevermind the non-existent romance and characterization (for the uke; the seme is well characterized) since it's a one-shot. There's also the unresolved plotline of why the tennis captain was talking shit about the VP (uke) when it looks like it's the seme that deserves the rumors lol
