ch18

I really wanted more of Kitagami's story! He's like, frivolous but cute. I liked Okumura as an uke. He's aggressive and sexy. I like how he's become more tamed for Endou, that he would no longer sleep around unlike before. I liked the 2nd story's seme, Ikeuchi-san. He's successful, intellectual, devoted and passionate. He's also mature. I'd want to be spoiled by him, too. XD

Liked the 1st couple in particular.. Wanted more.

I didn't give this a 1 star simply because I didn't like it. You see, even if I really dislike the themes in some stories, I don't necessarily hate them overall especially when I learn a lesson or I see how a character develops to be mature enough. But both stories failed me because aside from not having doki doki feels, they lack proper resolutions. Especially that first story. Ugh. From another POV, I may convince myself and say, "Hey, it's fine! The seme actually loves the uke and it's not like he really cheated on him! He just didn't tell the uke about his ex/friend's problem for his discretion. Besides, they're childhood friends! Of course he'd help him out when he's badly in need of help!" I can totally see that. But you see, the uke wouldn't have known because the seme never really opened up. I mean, from what I've seen in their relationship, it's not like they started dating because the seme liked the uke too. He just took advantage of the uke's feelings and maybe hoped he'd like him too. Just from this, we can see that the uke is happy enough for his unrequited love to be noticed. Being in a relationship with someone you love is already a big leap, so he's actually putting himself down and letting the seme jerk him around. Was he supposed to just wait around for the seme? I mean, he wasn't even vocal about his feelings. The way I see it, the uke always felt like he's just a substitute because of the way the seme made him feel. Was that ring supposed to make up for the seme's lack of expression for his love? Sure, that may be so. But because he made the uke feel left out even after being given that, it's natural to question if it's really okay for him to assume that his love is requited. Err. Complicated feelings. Anyway, it just made me see how communication really makes a big part on how relationships last. You don't have to tell your partner EVERYTHING, especially when it's about another person's confidentiality at stake, but at least have the decency to let him know the general idea or give him assurance. About the second story, I get the gist of what the seme does, but it's ridiculous. I mean, c'mon, it's not like a cheating husband will absolutely stop having an affair if his mistress finds another guy. What's to say he'd just find another woman?! Having the mistress leave him doesn't guarantee he'd come back to the wife. Oh well, personally, I don't think I'd be able to accept him. I'm just not fond of guys sleeping around, even if it was part of his job. If it were in the past, I can accept him (though it will take some time), but if he continues to do it while dating me, no thanks.

1st couple: Robo-kun (Ikeda) x Sex Service Addict (Azuma) - Interesting, but I wanted more.. I wanted to confirm if Azuma really stopped going after he finally confessed. 2nd couple: Kuu x Subaru ~ Well, it had lots of funny scenes, but I think it doesn't match the first story.. I mean, the vibe is different. It's kinda weird, really. :3 3rd Couple: Miura x Matsumae (http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/the_last_lover/) ~ Hmm, love how the uke who was virgin became lewd but didn't let the seme push him around. He actually made him addicted to him even though he planned to let go. Overall, they were nice,but no doki doki feels at all. ps. I really liked Robo-kun's character though.

Well, the stories are such hodge podge and incoherent, but yeah... Wasn't much of a fan of the 2nd story because of the open relationship, though I liked that they were willing to be reversibles.. The main story is somewhat realistic and even though it was heartbreaking in the early stages, I felt proud of them.. Wow, and if Miya didn't leave Tado for Chichi's sake before, Non wouldn't have been born so Akkun wouldn't have him.. The third which was a oneshot is so random. There's barely background story and I dislike how they're "cheating" or well, I suppose it's no longer cheating because I think like the 2nd story, they're sort of in an open relationship. So yeah, would've given it a 4 but wasn't a fan of the open relationship presented so..

Non is my bae. Just wow, dude! He was really devoted since young. I really liked how he wanted so much to tuck Akkun in him to make him stop crying.. I also wanted how he was very proactive in pursuing him instead of just being pushed around. The 2nd story was complicated and heartbreaking. C'mon, realistically speaking, it sucks if a husband cheats on you like that. I get that their marriage wasn't going well but they chose to stay in it for their child and they didn't have enough motivation or reason to get out of it so they just put up with it.. So when Tsukamoto found that reason, he decided to get on with the divorce. It sucks because there's a child involved, but I think it's better to leave and make the child understand than to pretend and deceive so as not to look bad. I mean, as the child grows up, he/she'd see how f*cked up people are. So yeah, initially I'd be so mad at the uke, but after thinking about it more, I realized how he wasn't happy anymore and it was pretty much pointless to stay. It's like, instead of turning into a monster, he'd better be off somewhere else. Aaand anyway, regarding Sou-chan, hmm so he used to be an uke for Max.. I guess he's a seke but a total seme for Tsuka. I liked Tsuka's devotion though I shed tears for him and my heart really hurt during those times that Sou refused to acknowledge his feelings more seriously, afraid that he'd be abandoned again.. I mean hey, even Max who wanted to play him hurt so much for him. Gahhh. Really. Also, I like it when an ex who interferes the relationship turns out to aim for his ex's current partner instead of the guy he used to date. XD I mean, it helps in making them realize how they're taking their partner for granted.
