This is the manga that made me a yaoi reader! It's excellent - great characters, funny as hell and angsty too. No manga has been able to top this so far. :)

I love this series!!!!!!!!! :D

I read through volume 8 but I can't take anymore. There's nothing funny or cute about forcing yourself on someone who has explicitly said, multiple times, that he isn't interested. I can/have read a lot of manga with questionable consent but this beyond anything I've seen. I actually feel odd writing this because I've never had this much dislike for a manga character, I've certainly never had a problem like this with any yaoi I've read so far. This wasn't the weak refusal that's often shown to be hesitance in manga like this, it's a total rejection on every level and still Souichi won't let it be. Because of this, I honestly don't like his character at all. Why should I root for the love of a man who raped someone he supposedly cares about? He reminds me of the mandatory 3rd wheel character, thrown in for jealousy, after the main pair gets together. Except in those cases, the rape doesn't actually take place.

Of course, everyone is free to read and enjoy whatever they want, but this manga isn't for me. Having said that, please don't act like you have some sort of heightened sense of understanding because you're okay with this, it's just a difference of opinion.

So, I'm going to sound so passive aggressive right now, but I actually disagree with the majority of the comments that are lowering the rating of Koisuru Boukun because of the non-con/rape themes. I think that there are a few things that are totally excluded from the discussion here: first of all, the perspective of the readers. We - I am assuming - are mostly from Western backgrounds. I personally am from Australia, and can I just say that we have extreme censorship, and have previously been at risk of paedophilia charges from simply reading these kinds of texts. Topics like non-con and rape, regardless of how they are explored are constantly seen in a negative light: especially without context for the writing itself. This leads me to the second point: yaoi/BL/shounen ai are a genre that originated in the 1950s-70s in Japan as a response to the FEMINIST SEXUAL EMANCIPATION MOVEMENT, this genre is a response to conventional porn (aimed at satisfying the male gaze) and a conceptual exploration of femininity. The "male" characters in these texts function more as a "third-sex" so to speak; they embody and represent - dare I be so bold - the 'feminine condition', and remove that barrier of 2-dimensional female characters in texts; replacing them with these obscure male characters that do not conform to male stereotypes or the conventional form of masculinity. This comments are not unsupported: I would recommend that all of you actually review the historical significance of the text you are "slandering" or at the very least writing "libellous" falsities about.

This leads me to an actual interaction with the text: of course non-con and rape are displeasing (actually revolting) to read about, but in my opinion the author does not write about such concepts in a positive manner. Quite the contrary: I think that she is actually using Souchii as essentially a 'medium'. I mean, how many women are subject to this kind of revolting conduct: we are constantly pressured into sexual favours by men, forcefully or otherwise. The author does not romanticise the conduct, rather she - in tandem with a character conflict plot centre - actually delves into the taboo as a feature of the BL genre. Of course, that appears to turn this text into something of scholarship, which personally I think is ludicrous. It's a lighthearted comic full of comedic exchanges, non-conventional romance and - though it displeases me to phrase it this way - BL tropes (including, but not limited to, non-con and rape themes).

All I am requesting is that before deeming this text to be a romanticism/endorsement of sexual assault (a very bold statement to be making a may add) please consider that society requires discussion and exploration of taboo topics, simply burying or avoiding something does not stop it from existing. Gosh, I've gotten terribly serious here, but I really do feel that the author needs to be defended. It's this kind of thinking that results in blanket repression that damages creativity and thought patterns.

So, please, read the series in context with the genre. And stop beating up a text you obviously don't understand.

I so love it! This is probably the only yaoi that I can still enjoy even if I skip the sex scenes lol Yes, I can't get enough of comedy! I don't care much to analyze if there are moral flaws or the characters are unrealistic or if there isn't a serious plot. If you just want something fun to read, this is good to go!

well..for me this is a typical yaoi manga. fun to be read..i love how persistent the 'senpai'(i forgot his name) not to accept what he had felt towards morinaga actually love (in romantic way). yup, recommend it 100%! ^^

I must admit at first I was really skeptic about this manga. Souichi is... a killing character, though. He's really entertaining to watch. Sure, he's a demon but I think it's pretty easy to see he cares about Morinaga since early on (though mostly that impression is ruined by the obligatory comedical punch). If you stick around until you read Vol 04, you'll see why all the 10+ votes this manga has.
(I eagerly await the time when Souchi will confess. Oh, God ♥.)

wow! this manga is the best one! i just love it, it has a great art and also a excellent plot ^^ and morinaga is so cute i just love him! Sempai just make me laugh! hes really funny ^^

Well I think a lot of BL manga has rape, but what ppl say here i think the same if he Souchi was rape he would go and stayed away from Morinaga but he didnt, he justa stay by his side and so if you dont like it at the beggining dont read it, but you are dropping a great manga, I even cry because Souchi is so square :C
Is it really completed?
