just_m3h's manga / #inferiority complex(10)

Again, everyone except the uke is pretty much a ****. Running theme, this

1: Amano reunites with his high school love, Takase, whom he considered out of his league. Takase appears to have a very different recollection of their time together, and flames that never really went out are rekindled. Involves time travel, but is never explained. 4* 2: Momoi was a senpai of Tachibana's back in high school and is now an up an coming artist, while Tachibana is a part time worker at Amano's cafe'. He stole a painting of Momoi's in high school, but returned it right away because he didn't want to dirty the painting of the one he loved. Only thing is, he's not the only one who has been hiding things. 5* 3: Haruki has always been in love with his childhood friend who is ten years his junior, Hikari. Only, he never thought his feelings were appropriate nor would be reciprocated. 4* Overall thoughts: The theme appears to be re-encountering old, unrequited love and inferiority complexes. I enjoyed it a lot. 4*

Nope

Honestly? Man, I don't think ryousuke is washed up at all! He's competent, does his job well, crisis management was on point, was not foisting off his problems on other people, is responsible, and is very considerate towards others! I dunno why people don't see that. Edit: Side story was also so adorable. What really suprises me is how sensitive it is to gender fluidity and how extremely well executed it is for such a short fic. It's rare and impressive. Loved the acceptance all around

Love them together, but Doyun does need to be more aware, I would hate for some entitlement alpha prick to take advantage of him like that again. Having said that, the kid's (Eunwoo?) right. It's not Doyun's fault that alphas are making his life difficult. I did enjoy the side story, but that's a lot of unresolved trauma on big bro's part. I don't know if the doc is quite gentle enough to help unpack that. Also, his older brother should go jump in a lake, freaking alpha arsehole!! The nerve. Ugh! Disgusting! Edit: Holy shit. Dojun's really damaged, bruh. That's decades of abuse to unpack. I don't know if anyone's up to the task, tbh Edit: What tbe actual fuck is wrong with the people in the comments calling this incest?? When a family member rapes you, you call it rape, yes? You don't fucking call it incest, for fuck's sake. Shit for brains. Edit: Well. That was an extremely underwhelming ending. At least they're together, I guess. Whatever. Ch 98

Kirino was a young pianist who peaked at 10 when he lost his beloved mother (a famous pianist, herself). Disillusioned with life and estranged from his father, he finds his doom and salvation both, in an up and coming new pianist, Takase, who seems to idol worship him. Again, unhealthy but strong relationship. I feel like they'll become healthier as they each come into their own more and more. Why are musical yaois always so angsty? ~Ahhh. 4.6
