Stockholm syndrome is likely not even actually a thing. The original study or whatever didn't even interview the bloody hostages, so stfu before harping on about that and do some actual goddang research. Look into it and you'll find that it's been a frequently debunked thing. Why are you even here reading about stepdad con?!
male lolita lmfao. He's way older than delores or w/e her name is and he very much likes the older man, he was only frustrated bc he thought ossan only wanted him physically. It wasn't true, and he's actually pretty doting. He's the one who fed him, dude? seriously why y'all even here.
That said, yeeaah, not good. Very clumsy. I know ossan's supposed to be a silent brooding bear but yeesh. Hypersexualized for no good reason. I didn't care for Reo taking all blame for coming onto him first, ossan should've known better--says my brain.
But my non-existent dick thinks it was pretty hot. XD I feel like you never get this kinda food translated anymore. I like the premise (and the papacon fantasy mmmm).
The TL needed work but eh. I'm also certain 'uncle' is likely a wrong translation... give me the real food you cowards
Second story is cute, but it's alright.

Male version of Lolita

It's only I reread the manga at an older age do I realize how abhorrent the manga is. It's like the male version of Lolita - there is love on the surface to cover up all that rape and pedophilia underneath. Both stories feature an older man who has sex with the child of his long-term romantic partner. In the manga's case, it was even worse that the sex is not consensual and the kid was not in a romantic relationship with the "uncle".

I won’t say that this is the worst manga that I have ever read because, sadly, I have read worse. And trust me on this, this could have gotten even more worse in so many ways. The high rating honestly baffles me, what is so compelling about this shitty manga? Please do yourself a favour and don’t read it. It’s a waste of your precious time.
Please

Please tell me that the high rating isnt for the first story. The issue isn't honestly about originality. I mean, it could get cliche for all I care. It's just how the story developed that sucked. His stepfather rapes him → love triangle emerges → past story revealed → victim confesses and poof we have the love story of the century!

The first story is one of the most awful I've read. That is abuse. A horrible cycle of abuse. Throw in some victim blaming for extra awful-points and it really added up to something truly vile. I get that manga isn't real life, but it found it really appalling. The other story is not nearly as bad, which is why I'm willing to give it a 4 instead of a 1, but it's nothing memorable. I say, skip the first story unless you don't mind sexual abuse and rape being taken VERY lightly(and not in that usual BL way).

they went overboard with the "smut"... way too much, what a pity, but the second story was funny, well, this manga is nothing outstanding, just plain, regular yaoi with so-so art, there's plenty of much better yaoi AND it's lacking of the plot
the best part of this was ending: - Senpai, I'm not gay! - No... you are gay... A real one.

the first story. Is different. it shouldn't of ended the way it did. Any other story the Uncle would of been the bad guy yet somehow this story twists it and everything ends up o.k. 2nd story light fluff

The first story was pretty much a write-off for me. The only thing I really liked about it was the art, but the overall story was pretty cliche and the relationships between the characters needed some work. Plus, avoid it if you're the type to hate rape=love.
The second story, on the other hand, I enjoyed almost completely. It was cute and fluffy.
Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Maybe Shuuji was persuaded the first time by Reo, but he still forced him to have sex from then on to the point that Reo thought of his life like 'hell' (as mentioned in the quote). I usually don't care about the rape=love thing but here it bothered me, probably because the story tries to pass it off as if because Reo wanted it the first time, all subsequent times can't be rape.
The second story, on the other hand, I enjoyed almost completely. It was cute and fluffy.

The only thing that really bothered me was in the second part where Uehara wouldn't just ask Riku to cut back on the food. I understand not wanting to say that you're worried about your body image, but it's not hard to say that a meal's filling and if he could just cut back on the amount of food. Instead, he actually thinks it's better for him to become fat than to just ask Riku to make less food? There are health implications to being overweight and it seems like such a silly reason to choose to be that way.

This manga is quite refreshing. There are twist in the story that are not expected. The first story catch my interest from the very first page till the last. The second story is hilarious. The author's ability to tell a story is excellent. The art is awesome. Overall this is a great manga. I recommend it.

About the first story: not worth the reading.
I liked a twist or two, even though the whole Stockholm's Syndrome was pretty predictable from page 2 or 3, which always ticks me off. Not nearly as much, however, as the mother situation: a woman walks in on her (iffy) boyfriend raping her drunk, vulnerable child and freaks out, cries because she has been cheated on, and walks away. And the fact that the boy was drugged to begin with, justifying the "rape" and making it apparently okay, was detestable. It's ridiculous and I almost didn't read because of it.
The art was just so/so and the story felt so rushed I could hardly care for any character at all. And even when the kid gets gang-raped you just kind of shrug. Who cares, really. Kenta (I think that's his name) was the only one I could really think about during that moment. The sneaky son of a.... smart woman..... ahah..
In the end, the romance felt stilted, boring and cliché, partly due to the fact Reo has little to no character development at all, as does his uncle -- but I guess you can always sympathize with a tough, abusive seme when you come across such tasteless ukes. So 3.5.
