Cat's manga / #childhood friends(6)

The sister kinda ruined it for me but they were so cute! BL stories with consent and healthy dynamics are the best, non-con and toxicity in BLs suck

Healthy couple + consent = success. They are adorable <3

I just finished reading and while I can see why people are not content with the ending, I personally loved it. I love that how everything played out for them is left to the imagination! This has to be one of my favourite Mangas ever. Loved every single one of the characters in this, and I found myself gasping at times at the revelations made, or the deep conversations they had! I loved it all.

I don't know how to feel about this couple if I'm being honest. I wouldn't be surprised if the story was dropped because the author could have handled their development a bit better. It's a little chunky. I love love love Tamaki's character, love the internal struggle caused by his trauma, the scene where he can feel his mother's hands all over him even when she's not there with him? Peak. But... I don't think Shii is a good potential partner for him. I get that teens have hormones and stuff and I don't blame him for having sex with someone else, but he forces himself on Tamaki even when he is knowledgeable that he struggles with sex due to his mom. I hate that. He is a very selfish character and I truly think Tamaki deserves better, he gets molested by not only some nasty mf as a kid, but also by his mom and now he is being essentially manipulated into doing sexual stuff against his will because Shii wants to, and "he always gets his way", but also that random old man with glasses is also interested in Tamaki? I don't know, I want to protect that character with my life. 3/5 so far, but I won't be waiting around. The other story by this author is a 5/5 btw
