moody_bish's manga / #Cohabitation(12)

Judging the story alone, Junwoo deserved better but since his story is already written, I can only be frustrated of his past rather than his present. This is sensitive and though it is fiction, the element of flow and consistency is vital. One does not simply make it work through convenience. By the time, Wooyeon shares his own issue and Junwoo was given this vision of picking himself up... In order to chase after Wooyeon, I have lost my interest. The whole segment after was rushed and unnatural. But well, don't take my personal take on it as a spiteful response. I was simply disappointed at how the ending played out as a montage, dettaching itself from the dragged out scenes of their cohabitation.

Masato must have been one of the reasons why canines are a feature I tend to notice quickly. His character is relatable and admirable because though he hurt others and tries to redeem himself after, he doesnt deny what he’s done. Even his reason to leave wasn’t just about what he did but how their relationship would affect Asahi. In his defense, even if he tests people’s relationships, he managed to see beyond the two of them and put Kousei’s value to Asahi in consideration.

No spoilers. Even if Takahiro had a lover in the 2yrs he had forgotten, he wants to fall in love with them again. All these while he lives with a classmate he never thought he's been close with. In the end, he doesn't get his 2 years back. However, he gets to fulfill his wish before the accident

Kami has a knack for cooking but has no one to share his meals, as his co workers harrass him for being gay. Until one night, a food show ambushed his home and the host gobbled his food heartily. Then Waki unexpectedly became a part of Kami's lunch break since their workplace are close. Due to insecurities caused by past and present judgements against Kami's sexuality, he resisted the idea of ever having a relationship with Waki—even when Waki confesses his love for Kami. Still, Waki is persistent to show Kami just how much he loves him. (I dislike what he did to show that in the end though, but all's well that ends well I guess—but don't even think of using public announcements to corner someone you love like that. It leaves a bitter aftertaste to your intentions.) Plus one star for volume 2

Rui-san really gives bondage a whole new meaning of trust and beauty. It's not taken as a simple fetish, but rather a display of trust and gentle yet restrictive play. Also, I'm loving how much he whips out a rope when he feels like his man is in danger or is remembering how much his man had to suffer. This is the only way I can accept "abuse" as a theme because it is a past that will be addressed in the present.

Leo was picked up as a young run away. He fell in love with the policeman who took care of him. Now, they're a detective agency who looks for lost pets and catches cheating husbands.

Shougo has an eloquence to a new gen Japanese which he is often scolded for at work. Nonetheless, his speech is well understood by a foreigner he found lying at the gate of where he lives.

Levi, a foreigner in holiday visa, is looking for his deceased grandpa's ex-lover who is a painter in Japan. While together, Shougo is troubled by his growing feelings for the straightforward Levi who didn't even care that Shougo might have an inclination for men, being that Levi's grandfather also had a male lover and it wasnt weird. Interestingly, Shougo childhood hints that his mother accepts his sexuality and simply tells him that he couldn't marry a boy "YET". Regardless, Shougo have always felt that being gay was weird and he didn't want his grandparents to be disappointed. Besides, his love for his grandparents made it easier for him to ask Levi to stay with him while Levi seeks of his dead grabdpa's ex lover.
