Poopsiaetas's manga / #Made Me Cackle(12)

#Amnesia #Memory loss #Homophobia #What it means to be gay in society #Why coming out to family is a huge deal #Seme is pâtissier #Uke is a writer #Uke is gay #Seme is presumably bi #But my demi vibes are strong with the seme lol #Adoption is never once thought of or mentioned #Then I looked it up and legit only gay ppl from osaka can adopt #Fucking hell #GAY PEOPLE CAN'T ADOPT IN JAPAN #AND DO YOU KNOW HOW STIGMATIZING IT IS FOR JAPANESE KIDS TO NOT HAVE PARENTS?? #I'M NOT SAYING IT'S ANY BETTER THAN USA #BUT STILL THEM TRYING TO GET A JOB IS MADE TEN TIMES MORE DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF THE SYSTEM IS IN JAPAN #I'M SO BITTER ...Anyways. So. The whole memory loss cliche lol. It's either a hit or miss with me, nothing in between, and it's 99% a miss. But THIS ONE. THIS ONE WAS A GODDAMN HIT. Obviously, this case of memory loss isn't realistic. But the part where emotion living on even when the memories don't? That's true and it's beautifully portrayed here in a heartbreaking way. The fact that Seme picked out the three pastries Uke liked best without even having to remember...it obviously shook Uke to the core and it shook me in the feels. Even then, I couldn't help but cackle. It killed me how Seme was super jealous over Uke having the mugs and wearing the ring from his 'past lover' and he couldn't remember that it was him. xD But the fact that Seme instantly just KNEW they were given to Uke from a lover--looking at those objects, he probably felt the same emotions he had when he originally bought those for Uke. So those feelings just transferred over to the present, but without the context of his memories. So. Boom. A misunderstanding that's technically not a misunderstanding. *wheeze* It was fuuuun~ The only complaint I have is...we don't get to see their relationship from before. I really wish this manga was a longer one and we could see what obstacles they had to overcome when bi/demi-Seme fell in love with gay Uke, who obviously had to deal with trauma for being gay. Just the "I thought it would go well for me and you from here on out" thoughts from Seme suggests that they had to go through a LOT of drama just to get to the whole 'couple rings' and 'couple mugs' and 'lovey dovey' phase. And I want it. Give me the pain, then the healing balm. I'd love to see Utsumi-san's take on it cuz they did well with the bittersweet pain here lol.

#Dubcon #Sexual assault #Kidnapping #Forced marriage #2 x 2 = 4p sex #Language barrier as plot device #Nudist tribe #Orgies #Sexual freedom #Anyone can have sex anywhere #Sorta like bonobos #Not as an insult just comparison #Our more average monogamous sexually conservative society is like chimpanzees #Apes are our relatives they deserve respect yo #You and me baby we ain't nothing but mammals #So let's do it like they do in the discovery channel *wheeze* I can't help but have laughed at this the whole way through. I do think it's BS that's author-san is using the 'language barrier' as a way for Uke to be Seme's bride, but...this isn't Mother's Spirit, just enjoy the story for the smutty goodness it is. xD This manga was just some feel-good (pun intended) sweetness. There was some interesting cultural aspects that author-san included at the end, which made the story interesting. For example, the tribe realizes that the anal sex leads to tearing, which then leads to hemorrhaging, which is why no gay couple has done it. So it was super funny to see Uke teach Seme how to do anal and then both of them teach it to the rest of the gay couples in the tribe. It was a touch of realism that I really appreciate because author-san could've just made it smut and left it at that, but nope! They added fun parts to it (The learning was more fun than the smut for me lol) and I respect.
