Literal God's manga / #different social status(1)

Saa Koi Ni Ochitamae

Complete | Yamato Nase | 2003 released

I don't even know how many times I've re-read this. Recommended for: people who like cute manga children. People who like cute manga and don't mind if they want to hit the characters sometimes. Please mind the warnings. The couple in this are very much teenagers. Still naive and temperamental in a lot of ways and trying to learn how to be grown up. This manga is a sweet/cute relationship between two boys of significantly different social classes. The theme the entire thing revolves around is growing up and learning to think more about the needs and feelings of those around you. In this manga, both the seme and uke have frequent communication issues they have to work their way through. But it doesn't end with them. Both the seme and uke will have to learn how to consider the needs of their families, how far their consideration should go, their own needs and how they fit in their culture. Even the brothers often have to learn this lesson among themselves. One of the things I liked the most was how the female students were treated in the manga. They weren't evil succubi trying to split the couple. They were reasonable and sweet. I usually don't mind the evil female trope, but I always appreciate when things are handled more reasonably. Some warning's 1. Rape (not penetrative) by seme. It makes sense for the plot as the seme is desperate to get it through to the uke that he's not only a sexual being, but a flawed, selfish human. He's trying to make himself 'real' because the uke only seems to see him as a fairytale prince. 2. The characters here are flawed. I don't usually warn for this because it's how good writing is supposed to work. But I feel I have to from other comments who don't seem to get it. You will have times when you're annoyed with these characters.
