Despicable
Aptly named the relationships are kind of despicable. An original psychological plot that follows two complicated trios of twisted love. Well done, great art. I was a bit confused with the last story, but mostly figured it out. At its core a story of unrequited love and remaining by their side.

I had to stop, What the fuck was that? It was just manipulation and cruelty I couldn't read anymore. They both raped him, those two guys are fucked up criminals who rationalize their actions as "love". Miwa I'm sorry, I hope you find someone to treasure you.

I'm rereading this in 2021 and I feel the same in that I'm not sure how I should feel about it at all. I guess I'm mostly sad for all the heartbreak within the story. But the end was positive and showed them moving forward despite it all. Rather than the ending being too rushed I think the beginning of his cheating makes no sense. I dont understand why he slept with him to begin with...though perhaps he was just charmed by him and it was on impulse. Cause he (the club leader) was a really good guy until the very end. I think he fell to lust and couldn't stop despite knowing what he was doing was wrong. I think this a good portrayal of taking a relationship for granted and following urges that don't really match your heart. Because I do think that he still loved Arata the whole time, but also knew that if he kept up this dalliance sex may turn into feelings. I'm quite surprised about Arata wanting to stay with him but I'm also impressed by his love for na-chan. And I do think the violence was something out of his nature and very unlikely to repeat itself. But its all so heart wrenching that he was pushed to that breaking point, that Na-Chan accepted it as love and forgave him for it. Its all so sad that it escalated to those heights. This story is really quite heartbreaking. I felt sad even thought it ended happily...it was rushed and unresolved. I’m mixed. There wasnt enough time for me to forgive either of them. The senpai was really good person that I can say certainly, I hope he gets his own happy ever after. Should those two be together? I was so hopeful in the beginning too, now i could understand a slap, but beating him like that is... :( I do think someone can learn and come back from it, and never do it again, but only after much help and healing. And i do believe he loved him, but it wasnt enough to stop him from seeking his own pleasure with someone else. I dont think they can return, but i do appreciate the attempt at a mature retrieval. It just didnt get there for me. It was an interesting plot and characters, its just needs more.

Angsty up the wazoo. But it’s cute, they honestly shared their feelings with one another. He was overthing himself to death, but can seriously relate. He almost missed his chance. He’s such a good partner, waiting and making the first move but being stable and reliable always.

Ch 19 This is a very story dense tale, each chapter packed. With 80, its gonna be a long haul. Woo So sumire was cheated on by her ex with a inferiority complex, now she only looks for high spec men who wont run bc they feel below her. She randomly takes in a 20 year old kid and before we know it they are in a pet master relationship. Seriously he is like her dog, he comforts her by just keeping her company and listening really. He's a pretty famous dancer and would want more if she ever says so but they seem satisfied with their kind of platonic dog relationship. So she meets a senpai who seems pretty perfect so far but ofc how will this really go with this lie/secret around.
