Story 1: The couple from the cover. It's Kousei the molester from Namaiki x a shop clerk...and Kousei has a kid?? Okay it's not that surprising.
SO MUCH second-hand embarrassment for Kenji, he's falling all over himself for Kousei of all people, and he ends up confessing his love by tackling Kousei with a proclamation of love, an awkward kiss and coming in two seconds flat. 😂 IDK maybe someone finds that endearing. Also, the daddy issues, no wonder he latched onto Kousei.
Kousei: "You wanted to have sex with your dad?"
...Now that I think about it, Kousei's karma kicked in for messing with Ippachi in Namaiki in the form of Kenji tackling him;;
CWs: There's an age difference but not sure by how much, Kousei is raising his son to be a molester tbh
Story 2-3: Incest curveball and it's not even between the main couple! Ughhh Yasushi is such an asshole. But Shunji likes him so I can guess he can have him.
CWs: Rape (sexual coercion) even after Shunji said he could have stopped Yasushi, because second CW, he has a history of rape via coercion from a younger age
Story 4: Back to Kenji and Kousei, just as the summary said it deals with Kenji's insecurity, I don't think it really gets solved but I think the solution is just time. Also the finger-sucking, I don't see that often in BL!
Story 4.5: Unusual to see a woman rapist in a BL. And the little twist was interesting, Kosaka being into Hotta first before the teacher got to him and then it came back around to Hotta. That's the only part I guess I liked, Kosaka masturbating at school to Hotta lmao.
CWs: Teacher -> Student rape, pretty rapey between the main couple

Yeah, all in all it's good. The art old fashioned but decent, sex is hot as hell and plot is good but sadly not brilliant. Sometimes I didn't get characters' actions, at times their behaviour was unreasonable but I'm not sure if I should blame it on the mangaka or the translators, anyway I was confused a few times and didn't like it. Also Kanako - supporting character, Mejiro's cousin - was really annoying, but I guess she was created this way. Well, it's obvious that it's an early work of Shiuko Kano. It has some good and bad moments but somehow I had fun reading it. I like Mejiro&Nakano couple but don't ask me why.
If you're not a fan of Shiuko Kano you may drop this manga since it's full of imperfections, but if you like strong, manly type of uke this work is for you.

I love all the couples (well, the last one wasn't as good)!
And I like that whether the guy is a top or bottom, he's still a guy. I mean, Shunji *certainly* doesn't bottom because he's the "weaker" one. It's a preference, which I like! I'm not gay nor am I a man, but I imagine that's how it is most of the time in real life - what they prefer, not because they're the "girl." Also, implying the 'weaker' one is the 'girl' is insulting to girls...and humans.
