apopoi's manga / #Brothers(1)

bros.

Ongoing | tobi washio | 2019 released

A little incest never hurt nobody. UPDATE (28/02/23): So I read all of it which is upto ch5.5. So they are technically step-bros and not bros by blood, as the Lil bro likes to emphasize. The big bro is the uke and the Lil bro the seme, the former gay and the latter bi. When they were kids, their parents got married and on their first meeting, the uke held out his hand and brightly introduced himself while calling himself a big bro to the seme with the said seme hiding behind his mom's back and peeking repeating the words "big bro". So cute...right? Yeah, that dynamic took a complete 180 by the time they got older. The uke is a hairdresser with a shit taste in men and the housewife of the two. The seme a DJ and a part-time soba worker, and is a playboy who cannot commit. The seme is the one who catches feelings first. With them finding out about eachother's sexual identity by coming across eo with a man each by their side. They talk it out, then the seme asks if he is a top or a bottom and added that he himself was a top. The uke blushes to the top of his ears looking aside avoiding his gaze while saying abashedly "Why are you asking that?". Then the seme sits there stunned and continues thinking about the uke's face over and over again, the cherry on top was him hearing the uke rubbing one out and he himself turned hard. He tried avoiding him by going home late, with the excuse of work eventho he completed his set already. This went on for several days until the uke comes to his workplace ie the nightclub and comes across his friends who admitted that the Lil bro had a 'bro complex' which the uke seems unfazed by since we later find out he himself is the same. The seme makes up his mind, pursues him and later the uke feels the same way. They continue with their relationship smoothly while I as a reader already feel tension abrew, coming from a mile away and there it was..they visited their grandparents when the grandpa talks about wanting to see his grandchildren before he dies. Then the uke spirals and overthinks, telling the seme that they should remain as brothers, the seme reacts harshly but eventually accepts. Then he moves out. The uke is lonely and masturbates while thinking of him, making meals for two (unconsciously) and so on. Since he was always there, he took him for granted and so on. Weeks past and the seme asks to meet up and we see a change in demeanor, with him taking the initiative to raise his hands up to ask for the menu in the restaurant they were at while the uke was mid-way in doing the same thing. The uke is torn on seeing his lil bro get by just fine without him since he always looked after him in every way and pampered him. But what amazed me was his tenacity, he misses him badly but he is still convinced he is right and won't budge. Now this is where it happens: the reconciliation. How? The seme gets hurt and is in a hospital. As cliche as it is and a cheap way to resolve the conflict and get uke to admit his feelings back. I don't mind it because any other way would have been false to the established character trait of the uke so.. He cries and admits his feelings..very very dramatic. Then the seme mutters "I knew you felt the same way"..then viola. The end. The added half a chapter was them having sex and showing the uke's experience in the act...he was basically a 'pillow princess' but he takes initiative now with him giving him a skillful blowjob and spreading his asshole, telling him to put it in with a very erotic expression on his face blessing the seme with a full view of his ass. The seme spanked him and tells him not to act like he was used to it which he responded "I am used to it so I can't help it". Then they have sex.. uncensored sex. Also that tidbit of him wearing his lil bro underwear that is tiger-print or something and the seme's uncanny timing walking in at that moment...the uke was worried that he would be turned on but he was like "Ewww" atleast that aspect of them as brothers didn't change. Oh, also in the dream that the uke had where he confessed his feelings to the seme cuz duh...a dream. Then the seme's explanation was simply "Our relationship will not change, it will be simply be added on". That made me feel something. The seme is the type 'once he makes up his mind, he won't stop until he gets what he wants' but ofcourse he didn't give up. He slept two hours a day thinking about how to get by, taking the uke's concern in mind about appearances and whatnot. Ah! Maybe that was why he was admitted because...he only slept two hours a day for weeks on end so he fainted. That was a blonde moment, sorry!! His demeanor is such a lil bro personality, a girl by the name Juali once commented on my behaviour and said I behaved like the youngest sibling, which I am. And I responded by saying that people confuse me with the eldest and she was like "No way"..and she said her former crush was the same way who also happens to be the youngest...he was like a very bad student(?) not writing his homeworks, late and does not seem to care much etc so... He (the seme) also reminds me of Haruto somewhat tho he is the eldest. Also, another moment that I loved was him telling his bro to strip then the uke said "R-rape" then he stops and said to hit him if he didn't like it then the uke responded "I can't hit the face of my cute lil bro" then he smirked and said "You like this face?" which he nodded to. This wasn't smutty at all..it does have those scene which btw is uncensored like most mangas are but have the feel and vibe of 'shounen ai'
