fuck this series. I mean it's not even that bad, but it's so overrated and nobody seems to have the problem with the characters that I do. like, fuck these guys.
so the protag is the uke, he's actually okay, but it's how everyone in universe treats him, they shit all over him and it's never treated like a bad thing, and it pisses me the fuck off. the seme on the other hand can do no wrong and somehow that is also okay? like wtf. they also have a big thing where the seme absolutely REFUSES to bottom, which for yaoi is normal and while normally I don't care because it's handwaved or just never discussed, but this comic makes it clear that the uke would like to top but never will because the seme just doesn't want to for lame ass reasons, and since it tries to be a realistic relationship the thing comes off as an unhealthy onesided dynamic that's shit
the seme is okay mostly but the one thing that pisses me off is that how while the uke is shat all over by the whole effing world, he's treated like he's perfect even though he's a turd too. it's dumb.
there's this side character named satonaka who's like a weird rapist fuck. like seriously, he's a sadist into bondage (which is fine) but the series makes it clear that he would 100% rape the straight guy he has a crush on if he weren't stronger than him. and this is supposed to be funny ??? like everyone finds it to be endearing, and again rape is everywhere in yaoi and normally idgaf but when the series tries to be serious and have well developed emotional progress in the main couple and also pulls this whole "rape is okay" bullshit it's fucking weird and gross and what in the actual fuck. how he treats the uke is totally different than how he treats the seme. like he and the seme try to date and that's what kicks off the story, but he's not the protagonist so obvi the uke and seme hook up and it happens while they are still dating, and he PUNCHES THE UKE IN THE STOMACH for cheating and is just all "it's okay fumi you were seduced let's break up amicably" like fuck you they both screwed you ever also your bf is way more at fault for virtue being your bf than this fuck is, and it's just one thing but honestly this is the template for how all conflict between them is treated for the entire series, everything is always the uke's fault and everyone likes the seme more even the uke's sister. speaking of fucking which
the uke's sister. FUCK THIS FUCKING KID FUCK FUCK FUCK. she's a fujoshi, and there's a trend of fujoshi side characters in yaoi rn and honestly I'm down for that it's hilarious and tongue and cheat and honestly we're all pervs let's treat our representatives as such, but this KID IS THE WORST. she things the seme is hot and he's been part of her pervy BL fantasies so when she finds out he's dating her brother she gets mad at him and wants them to break up because she can't fantasize if her brother is involved. this is the dumbest most fucking selfish homophobic thing i've ever fucking scene. real fangirls do this with gay men and just like go effing shoot yourselves you selfish little shits real people aren't your stupid fucking fetish fuel and he's your fucking brother and they're in love what's wrong with you ughhhhhh. so she tries to break them up indirectly by giving her brother a gay sex book to scare him away with the reality of anal sex (lots of prep, possible tearing) and it almost works but they figure shit out and then she gets mad at them for fucking but forgives fumi because she wants to stay close to him and totally ignores her brother (honestly fumi isn't that bad I just FUCKING HATE HIM because everyone treats him like he can do no wrong eat a bag of dicks this whole god damn cast fuck)
THEN there's a weird plot where fumi models for a pervy sculpture who's admits to being sexually attracted to him but fumi does it anyway even though it involes him being shirtless and letting this pervert grope him, and this pisses off uke who is dating him at this point and obviously opposes this, because he wants to make him jealous and it's the dumbest most fucking selfish manipulative thing ever and NOBODY CALLS HIM ON IT they're all "lol you deserve this shunpei" like no he fucking doesn't he's done nothing wrong and been faithful and tried his best to be a good bf to this turd, who cares that he was oblivious to fumi's one sided crush for years he didn't fucking know fuck these guys. and the sister finds out this developmeng and instead of trying to help her brother or her childhood friend stay together, she wants fumi to hook up with the new guy, because younger seme is hotter. seriously. she fucking says that. kouhai seme moe. fuck this selfish fucking bitch fuck you all
WHY DOES NO ONE CALL THE ASSHOLES ASSHOLES IN THIS FUCKING SERIES FUCK I FUCKING HATE MYSELF I'VE READ THIS MAYBE THREE TIMES BECAUSE IT'S SO POPULAR AND I COME BACK TO IT AND THINK HEY MAYBE IT'S LESS SHIT THAN I REMEMBER BECAUSE IT'S GOT SO MUCH SHIT THAT I SHOULD LIKE
BUT FUCK IT SUCKS SO MUCH FUCK THIS I WILL NEVER READ THIS AGAIN BECAUSE I WROTE A HATE FILLED REVIEW AND IT WILL FREE ME FROM THE CURSE OF NOT REMEMBERING THAT THIS SERIES IS BALLS
