My endings for them

The first one: obviously the student is going to continue to trap the teacher and he will abide by all his requests because he fell in love with him and have admit to it. Later the sensei sees him talking to Haruka and feel inferior to him, and question what he is really doing with his life. He fears that the student still sees him like property and not love. Therefore, he meets with his girlfriend again for dinner. That night he drank his sorrows away and his girlfriend decides to send him home. Being drunk and dumb he doesn't realize what address he told the taxi driver and ends up at the student's place. The student sees them together and becomes very jealous. He grabs the drunk sensei away from her and kisses him in front of the girlfriend. Being drunk and dumb, sensei kisses back and this conclude the break up of sensei and his girlfriend. The student carries sensei up to the apartment and tells him that he can no longer have a girlfriend, because sensei's body and love belongs to him. That night they have hot and steamy sex for three days straight.

The second one: I think Sei will end up with Daisuke, because of that look he gave him in the last scene. Yoshita isn't really gay (yet), therefore he probably have another fling with his ex wife and makes Sei depress and insecure. Daisuke will jump in and support Sei all over again and say he should stay strong and be with Yoshito, because he wants Sei to be happy. But by then Sei would have started to realize it was Daisuke who was always there. The next time Yoshito and Sei meets up, Yoshito would gladly give themselves a go at dating, but Sei would've noticed it didn't feel right. As they entered a hotel room he realizes who he really loves and runs away. Sei ran through a rainy night from a mile away to Daisuke's apartment and confesses that he loves him too. Daisuke kisses him and that night they have hot and steamy sex for three days straight!

Who agrees with me?!

This is why I normally read comments and look at the categories more thoroughly before reading something... Don't expect an ending, neither story has one! I was irritated with where the first story left off, but the second story really got me annoyed - probably because I was enjoying the characters far more in it and with where the story drops it, it just feels like
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
it's saying their friendship is officially over and the fun days they had as kids are gone forever. Wherever they go from here on out, they're ultimately going to hurt one another because of their feelings.


Basically, I can't recommend either of these stories unless you really like open-ended stories or ones where you get to make up what happens next in your head. Even then, I'd have a hard time saying much good about the title story unless you like Stockholm Syndrome stories.

What did I just read?
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
So the main character is forced to become some guy's slave and that guy threatens him and attacks his girlfriend. Then the main character breaks into that guy's computer to try and see why he's doing this and ends up apologising for it even after everything that guy has done.
Well, this much I didn't really mind.
But then...
The story just ended without concluding anything. His girlfriend still doesn't know about them, the main character still hasn't made a decision about his feelings and then there's the other guy who is obviously in love with the main character as well.
Almost like there is supposed to be an extra chapter or two that got dropped on the way to print.

Whats with the endings D: good stories but a let down to find yourself having to interpret the end, specially on the last story wth? So disappointing, I so wanted to know what would happen in the last story, the first one is easier to figure out but the last one.... -_-

Other than the unfinished feeling these stories give off (I wonder if they were submitted as series to a magazine (B-Boy is the one Koide writes for?), but canceled after the first chapter or two, because they have complete plots and all, it's just that each story feels like a beginning to a much longer series), the first one is really super not romantic at all. It's a lot creepy, with an abusive young man who blackmails a student teacher into living with him (and having sex!) by threatening to hurt the teacher's loved ones. But even at the early stages of the story, it looks like it's going to go the route of the teacher falling in love with the student, due to Stockholm Syndrome or something, and there's this weird romanticising of a seriously abusive relationship - at least the student teacher's best friend notices this and says something about it. I'm almost glad that the story ended without more closure, because I'm afraid that it was heading towards a really bad ending like that.

If you like to be warned of abusive relationships so that you can avoid them, here's your warning. If I'd been more aware of it, I wouldn't have read the story at all.

The second one is also kind of screwed up, but not nearly so bad. One Yoshito is getting married, Sei has been in love with him since childhood, and Daisuke has been in love with Sei almost as long, but neither Sei nor Daisuke have said a word about their feelings, until Yoshito's wedding day - when, it turns out, his new wife is also in love with someone else, and he calls the marriage off. The resulting actions taken by each of the main characters (and others who enter the story later) make this seem like it would be a much more interesting series if extended, if only because it's not as screwed up. The characters are still seriously flawed, though.

And, one of the upsides to the second story is that it has a more structured plot than the first, so it does feel like it has a better ending, rather than something just unfinished. (The plot is "how these men reveal their feelings after twelve years of silence".)

I really enjoyed both stories, but both left me the feeling of not being finished. Both had endings that seemed to just stop with no real resolution. Was this a prequel? A side story to some other series? I am not sure. I really felt cheated by the endings. To be left like that with no resolution to the story, not even a hint of what is to come, just leaves one frustrated. I still ranked these high, as they are good stories. I just wish there was a little more of a decisive ending to both.

i like how both stories started off and everything was really good until the ending. Not just one, but BOTH stories had what seemed to me to be incomplete endings! When I got to the end, I thought I missed some pages. I went back to double check if I was really on the last page and when I was, I couldn't help thinking..."that's it?! where's the rest confused " Both endings are too unfinished for me. Otherwise, could have been quite good.
