Ethingan's manga / #Obsession(2)

Obsessed seme chasing (and kinda threatening) uke to be with him Actually really liked it. Unfortunately too short to get any real depth. The ending was both satisfying and sad. One of the few stories where the the uke takes it into his own hands to not let himself be controlled or imprisoned by the seme. That being said I didn't actually hate the seme. Likeable, interesting characters. Beautiful art! Though I wouldn't recommend it in real life, this kind of obsessive love makes for a good story!

Some elements of the story were quite good but it was just too toxic. The seme is extremely controlling, rapey, threatening, uses gaslighting and blames the uke for everything. In the beginning he was the uke's boss but even after and when they are in a relationship he continues to order him around. It was also a really weird aspect of the seme sleeping with his step father since he was a child (as a sort of gratitude for picking him up from the streets). In a way I guess I like that it's different because it's the seme who is in that position when it's usually the uke, and while it wasn't explicitly shown it seemed the be implied that the seme was the bottom in that "relationship". It was however not really adressed how the seme felt about it, which is a pity, both a wasted opportunity for something different and it also left a lot of questions. The father also isn't punished for praying on a child. I also hated the double standards of the seme. He is extremely controlling and possessive when it comes the the uke and blows up over the smallest things, saying he's gonna punish the uke, lock him up in a cage, kill his friends etc. But when he himself continuously slept with his "father" and LIED about it to the uke's face, the uke never got even an apology. He didn't even seem to think there was anything wrong with it.
