Aiko's manga / #Mafia(3)

3.9 or 4.0 thus far. 1st off- uke become interested in seme way too quickly. Seme deadass grabbed him and tried to get lovey OUT OF NOWHERE- it isn’t even clear why he’s interested in the uke before he non consensually smooches him. Then Uke moves to Seoul jus cus… he finds the seme interesting?? I don’t get it. It’s lacking development. I feel like I would’ve even accepted a scene written in where Mookya visits the Uke at the cafe for another 5+ months building rapport while the detective friend visits too in an attempt to bring the Uke in as help before moving to Seoul. And why didn’t he do anything about the blonde man? He just keeps going along with shi I don’t understand why. He’s literal friends with a cop and didn’t call the cops. Even when he was clearly being a red flag. But worse of all- the fucking incest plot. WHY ARE YOU REWARDING AN OFFENDERRRR- if it was like victims guilt or victims coping, I guess I could see from a practical standpoint why he’s not visibly more affected but the entire time the brings up memories of being roped- ITS ALWAYS FOLLWOED BY A DEFENCE OF “oh he was abused and-.” -_- bffr, nothing justifies his actions, that’s bull.

4.5, it’s not bad for a short manga, it’s actually a unique concept. A mafia member from 1920-1950s New York suddenly appearing in modern day Japan only to get into a homosexual relationship with a Japanese man who’s technically over 60+ years younger? Wouldn’t have put that on a BL bingo card by any means. I really do like the one, unfortunately though there is SA (forced oral sex) and a constant innuendo around the Uke being compared to a woman but for the innuendo, I’ll overlook it because this man is from a time riddled with all sorts of discrimination and the over appropriation of neurotypical cooties. Besides that, it’s nice to watch this battered crude gangster of a Seme become this very much in love has only eyes for the Uke type of guy. I could reread this.
