Ronoue Yuri's manga / #sad(2)

After reading a lot of porn with plot stories in yaoi, I finally landed upon a goldmine with this manga. Make no mistake. I love my smutty yaoi porn with plot stories, but stories like this are refreshing every now and then. The story is cynical in a way, because it addresses the homophobia pervasive in Japanese society, which ruins the chance of closeted gays like the teacher, Yanagida or Kirino from coming out without being shunned. I really like how the Futoshi's mom was supportive of her son's sexuality the whole time, and his boyfriend, Tarou's family came to accept it. I do hope that this story ends well for the main pair, to make up for Kirino's wish to come out forever repressed. Unfortunately, a sad implication is that he might end up twisted like Yanagida.

The art is beautiful and Kyung-soo looks a lot like Makoto from Free!, yet this story is so depressing. Getting trapped by a psychopath and his equally messed up siblings, to escape and find a good person only to be abused again by the psychopath.....So depressing... I'll commend his resilience though.
