EVERYONE CAN GO HOME THIS IS THE SUPERIOR MANGA WE HAVE TWO RESPECTFUL AND CONSENSUAL KINGS HERE hits you with cackles and feels ;-; no better omegaverse out there, characterization is a+ i cannot wait for more, favvv couple

OKAY REREAD THE WHOLE THING DEC 22 AND HOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT. WHAT THE FUCK. THIS SHIT IS BUCK WILD. yutaka is a closeted and thus cowardly gay who wants to protect his image at all cost, and we see in the beginning that his relationship with a man is rocky and in the middle too, where this man mentions that yutaka says "i dont dislike you" so we see a selfish dude. he accepted this man who needed to understand that this was strictly a relationship to be kept under wraps, hidden away. man is unsatisfied and presumably this is why they break up, but its not said explictly (probably because their relationship was never that good or important to begin with). enter kei, yutaka's breath is taken away by his beauty. enamoured, and also by the strength he displays. he takes him into his boxing gym, and kei accepts simply bc he needs a place to stay and this is very pragmatically safe (no $ or checks, free rent and food, wtvr). unfortunately starts off with r4pe but yutaka ends up falling in love with kei and kei reciprocates. the misundertandings between them is realistic - kei means everyting he says (he has cptsd for sure, flashbacks are done really well, and i'd say on the spectrum too) and concludes that he cannot afford to lose or else yutaka will throw him out, since yutaka prioritizes kei's career as a boxer and wants to not put any pressure on kei. y also assumes k doesn't or cannot reciprocate his love, but how much is that y deciding to abandon so that he cant be abandoned lol? kei's condition worsens as he understands that his livelihood and access to kei depends on his victory. he just needs to be told what to do and deliver. he starts throwing up whenever he's alone (mental illness!) and yutaka finally understands why his form and cardio has been so bad. they attempt to have passionate sex but are caught by tomoya, someone who has been egged on by evil colleague to doubt yxk. dude thinks k is raping y and rightfully berates him and tells him to gtfo - so k does for the sake of y, and is then caught up in a cult/gang making waves. his brother is involved and oh boy you're not ready. so kou his brother killed their father, and ended up desiring his brother bc of what he saw their father doing to him. choi (cult leader) only brought in kei because he wants kou to remain by his side, but kous head is filled with his brother. yutaka grows immensely as k goes missing, coming out to tomoya and clearing up the misunderstanding and asserting himself! tomoya accepts them, and helps y search. randomly ykx happen on each other and have makeup sex but bc was told theres a wiretap (theres actually more) kei is like no i gtg meet again here next week. however the cult concocts a plan to fuck the gym over and kei does research to unmask that its a phony thing. this is exactly what they wanted, to demonstrate that keis betrayal is complete and actually offer kei the chance to go back to yutaka if he stabs himself w a 8 inch dagger - whether he lives or dies is luck. kei doesnt hesitate, and the chp ends by his emo child self declaring exuberantly that he wants to "give his everything to yutaka" whom he is supposed to meet later ............ bruh. i swear if this isnt a happy ending ................. wow, top tier story. characterization is immaculate; kei is completely dissociate due to selling himself at such a young age and growing up in an abusive environment (mother abandoned family, alcoholic father (who assaulted him?) and older brother who sold him) and we get to see what goes on inside hid mind -- his different selves that are all kids, understandably so, and the emotional, warped reasonings are perfectly portrayed. trainer was struggling with his feelings of love for kei; he felt alone thinking kei would not understand his feelings of love. realistic, impeccably done. kei leaves the gym and dorm because his peer happened upon he and yutaka having sex -- which aligns with what he believed -- and gets roped up in a crime family through his brother ...

GOD THE CHARACTERIZATION GOT EVEN FUCKING BETTER SO MUCH DEPTH SO MUCH BREADTH we get a deeper insight as to how asahi struggles - in depending on others, letting people in, and his inferiority complex/insecurities re: being defective that was due to his mother, his wife (unable to conceive) etc

THE PERFECT LOVE STORY. THE PACING, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, PLOT, CHARACTERIZATION, EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. ;-; BOTH BBS WORK TO OVERCOME THE EMPTINESS IN THEIR HEARTS AND FALL IN LOVE W EACH OTHER UGH I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH

reals sensual hours .... bottom w a hand fetish who wants to be held but doesn't want to get involved with people so he wears a blindfold during sex; landed a top who wants more from him just based on how erotic the bottom is ;-; AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

BEST BOIS BEST PLOT AND WORLD-BUILDING this is honestly my comfort series

really strong story; characters are realistic, flawed and their depths are explored well. fl gets involved with her part-timer who joined bc he had a crush on her; he treats her well and she worries she is getting in his future/life, lets him go as her ex-husband comes slinking back around trying to win her back (he still wears his ring) finally paying attention to her as opposed to when they were together, he'd take her for granted SOO WELL-WRITTEN AND REALISTIC IN HOW THEY PORTRAY THE CHARACTERS AND HOW THEY DEAL WITH THEIR EMOTIONS UGH

best plot--psychological love--and breath-taking art

honestly i could read this forever KYLE IS A TREAT AND THE SEX IS A+
