kunii~<3's manga / #Yaoi(7)

It's mid I remembered liking this before but upon rereading don't like it. No chemistry between the couple, glasses guy is irritatingly pushy and they don't fall in love so much as glasses guy manhandles blondie into a relationship. Blushing ≠ love

I keep coming back to reread this, it never ceases to make my heart ache and warm. Hajime is so pretty and funny, Tatsuo is so patient and kind, they are definitely my fav. I appreciate the closure regarding Hajime's brother, I'm glad Makoto got his happy end too!

It's Shaia!!! He's just like Daato lol It's sad he feels the need to sacrifice his own happiness for his family's, but he's always been caring, like when he gave his teddy to Mika as a child. (Fortunately, him and Beryl will probably definitely fall in love <3)

Hm. I really liked the beginning, I thought it was really interesting and I liked the way they got closer, and I liked the portrayal of heartbreak and how it can really affect you and linger, and I like Wataru. I really don't like Soma. Does he? Even like Wataru?? Up until the end he still feels half-assed and clinging to his love for his ex. The author tries to have him explicitly tell people "Oh no I want to stop being half-assed" and "Oh acc from this point I stopped being half-assed" but he doesn't show it at all?? Not through his actions or his behaviour. It's chalked up to just being part of his personality but honestly I'm completely with Wataru. I totally understand why he's insecure but it's just played off as him being jealous and money. Idk it's just uncomfortable, it was not the right time for them to date and if the author really wanted to make it go the 'realistic relationships aren't perfect' then they should've shown that instead of brushing it off and just making them smile and fuck at the end. Idk it's just uncomfortable. I do like Takeichi though, he's a good friend

Hmm I thought I could get past it, but the age difference was too much and they knew each other since Tamaki was literally a small child, they kissed when he was 13 and Tomo was 25, and even now Tomo is still a minor at 16. I'd just like to address that I understand it's fiction and that's why it's not a big deal, I personally couldn't read it since I don't like the way it's portrayed. Basically making it seem like the fact he's young is just an obstacle and not, yknow, a crime. However, using the reasoning that Japan has a different age of consent so it's okay is very much not okay. This is fiction that hopefully only adults or older teens that know right and wrong are reading so it doesn't matter, but please do not excuse grooming just because the age of consent is 13 in Japan, this is not a matter of "cultural difference."
