just_m3h's manga / #Orphans(3)

Bruh, the fuck's up with this rating? May have started out seemingly about useless idiots who have no goals in life, but was in actuality a tale of two abused and one depressed soul, all overcoming their loneliness and healing together. I an so proud of Ai for making something out of his life. And I am so, so glad Ryo and Aya got out. The sex was hot too. I loved the angst and the strength of their feelings for each other. Never wavered over five years of absence. Loved it

Sumi, who was Hibari's brothers bestfriend, takes over as Hibari's guardian after his brother passes away. Sumi is so careful with him (,,•́ . •̀,,) Obviously, there are issues with Sumi being in a position of authority. But we must not forget that Hibari loved him well before his brother passed away. Also, Sumi properly waited until he was an adult. He had so much restraint, it was a pleasant surprise. I wish this brother we didn't even see much of hadn't passed away, though. How it pains me, how much his passing has scarred them. My single complaint is the sex scene cuts to the heavy stuff right away. I wish we got to see more of Sumi's tenderness. 5

Yukitoshi has a bit of an inferiority complex about his old classmate from university, Tomoe. Tomoe comes from a rich family, is perfect at work and a great lawyer. Yuki's old girlfriend even left him to join Tomoe's fanclub! When Tomoe gets headhunted to work for Yukitoshi's uncle's law firm, Yuki curses his bad luck. But is it really all bad? I really, really, really like Yuki! He is a lovely character! That gentleness and devotion, how hardworking he is, how compassionate he is. I really love it. Tomoe, though. Poor baby. What a terrible life he's had. Takashi was such an angel, to have loved him like his own flesh and blood for so long, despite being so young, himself. Not in a million years does Tomoe's cowardly, measly excuse for a brother deserve a hair on his head! And yet, Takashi will wait for him. Love is truly blind. It's amazing that Tomoe has remained so wonderful despite being treated like that by his family for so long. Overall, I felt the story should have been fleshed out and more detailed. Twice as long, if possible. As it is, it's hard to give the plot justice, but it was mostly still great. Sex scenes could have been shorter, the story didn't really need any. 5
