Pretty Wimps
This has all the taboos secret recipe used in BL - age gap, grooming, pedo, double life, secret relationship, crossdressing/gender bender, student and teacher, and more. Tame fluff since there's no assault, just abuse in terms of undue influence (the teacher x student trope is definitely this trope) - much on the fluff side, not the blackmail side. - They're the manliest couple I've ever seen - They both enjoy crossdressing and love cute stuff 可愛い (I enjoy reading this too who doesn't love cuteness but that doesn't emasculate them at all and for that I love it all the more). - The grooming part: That one particular scene where the teacher comes out wearing lingerie in front of his student to completely shatter the student's image of him as the conventional teacher role is the start of him trying to desensitize the student to this notion that lingerie fetish is somewhat the norm, at least in their case. He admittedly knew it was wrong to do so, yet proceeded to do just that just to traumatize the mind of his student to create this deceptive bonding with him and slowly introduce this 'norm' of secret meetups where they do crossdressing on the weekends. Isolation? Check. --- I would say, this story is truly meant for mature readers who can read between the lines and understand these concepts yet know this is merely fictional entertainment - entertainment with sinister messages, yet tamer compared to other yaoi comics that are out there. All in all, I still enjoyed reading it, since from that small action (the clear cascading effects of grooming and conditioning of the mind of the student), it progressed to the student being open about this crossdressing thrill he has while cosplaying as the other sex. I really love this mangaka's work, she's very smart about dropping subtle messages in the story.

read up to c2, this hasn't been updated since MC: - is the kind of scum who ruins other people's marriage along with the man who cheats his own wife (he says this had happened in the past during is professional journalist days in the company) - a male prostitutes who seem to be embroiled in shady stuff like the Yakuza, information gathering (hooker undercover) and other stuff (mostly very unspeakable - why would you whore out yourself for your job anyway? This is sad) Another point I'd like to make is this story is told in the 3rd person's perspective of some other lovers' romance (as in, that 3rd person, who is the MC, is the rebound guy used in the would be couple's relationship). Not many stories are told this way so this is very refreshing to read. If I'm not mistaken, this is like my 4th or 8th time reading this kind storytelling from the MC (espouses the 3rd person POV) for the BL genre, and all of them happen to be japanese manga. Very nice, I love it. He's the MC who happens to be very mature and has some not very good moments in the past - which is quite an understatement if that character happens to be a homewrecker (this type of betrayal is next to betrayal by incest rape/abuse). --- I do love villainous characters, but I have my own limitations that hinder me from loving them fully perhaps because of my own set of values (hate rape, abuse, serial womanizers and cheaters, homewreckers, violence, and other things irl). That doesn't mean I can't handle this type of story. If this manga get picked up again, I'll reread --- I feel some type of way reading this from the MC's perspective since he's the man being used as the receiving end in this rebound relationship that the yakuza's son (in the first chapter) started. As selfish as it sounds, the yakuza's son is venting his frustration on the MC and all the MC can do is take all that frustration in and cut it off like some sociopath. Now what kind of painful romance is that? It's the deliberately being cruel and heartless even to himself. I feel like the MC is so lost and in a dark place. He says he's a pro or whatever he calls it, all I see is a broken man. ----
Attachment Love
Attachment Love () (2017 - 2018): 1v 7c One night, Hiyama, a police officer working in a small neighborhood police station, provides counselling for a college student, Okazaki, who had attempted to flash his body at people. Hiyama, unable to leave the naive Okazaki alone, who only resorted to what he did as he was unable to properly vent out his peculiar fetish, called out to Okazaki asking, "If you're fine with me, shall I keep you company?" And from then on, the days of their secret meetings kept from everyone in a unrecognized hotel began...?!
