Quatre's manga / #step brothers(11)

It was okay, a tad boring. For some reason the names changed midway through the story then back at the epilogue.

There's some psychological trauma with the adopted little brother, but i can see there's potential for good growth. I loved the Mom. I loved how open and honest she was. Didn't like how the story ended with a vague open-ended ending with no physical growth from the boys.

Bullying into submission.

I think this is more Stockholm Syndrome than anything else. I don't really like stories that go from rape to love. I've seen some good stories that start of that way, but the seme repents and works on gaining the uke's forgiveness and trust, this story doesn't have that. The seme doesn't show remorse or try to explain himself to the uke.

Have so many issues with this series. There are two couples, the first is about the a younger brother and the older brothers best friend. The age gap is huge. The little brother is a high school student, either first or second year, and the older brother's best friend is past college year age, so around late 20s to early 30s. The second couple is the older brother and the step brother that's some years younger than the older brother. The older brother is unnecessarily violent and can become frustrating and annoying. The only character that I like is the step-brother.

You really have to read between the lines with this one. Too much hidden meaning. I finished in hopes that everything will clear up and the character development would be a good one, but there was none of that. Very bittersweet.
