Deceiving (series review as a whole)

by Yamara

Rating: N/A

This being the "main story" is kinda a laugh lol
Basically, the entire series is about kan-san. Reading this one first has me with mixed feelings.
First off, it makes me really like Yumi and since you don't get much of an update about Yumi after this particular volume, it becomes slightly disappointing. Especially when the update you do get throws in some confusion as to how everything ends up working out for him. His story doesn't add up in the end, and since he's the first one you're introduced to in the series that attachment gets neglected basically.

Now as for kan. Obviously, you're supposed to not like him in this. And the prequel is supposed to give you some insight into what happened and make you sympathize... But it really doesn't make you sympathize. Comments on the prequel even have some people blaming Yumi but none of it was yumis fault AT ALL. He did try and ask what was happening and was told not to worry. He did try to share in the burden and was told he was useless. And he did try to fix the situation, and the situation escalated instead. The only thing he didn't do was leave, which he could do because he wanted to support kan and didn't realise he was causing pain. It's entirely kans problem, his fault, and his lack of communication.

As the series continues to follow kan it takes awhile to start to root for him. But it does a good job of showing how he has grown through life and how he is moving forward. So in the end it does a good job of showing how someone moves on from experiences. I just wish it had focused more on Yumi and less on kan in its entirety.

Good but...

The art is amazing and the MCs emotions were conveyed so well. I especially like how the two timelines interweaved seamlessly to tell the story.

The main downside was that the consequences/effects of having had an abusive boyfriend were not fully dealt with. Sure, that chapter of the MC's life came to a proper close but what of the repercussions on his self esteem, mental health?

Maybe the related sidestory will address this.

For me, it's a completely half-baked story and art. 💨 Really, not my cup of ☕.

I don't understand it. He is independent, has his own apartment and a job, but he voluntarily goes back to the guy and lets him beat him up and then blames someone he hasn't seen in 10 years. Because he dropped his cell phone in the water and he doesn't have the number anymore? Whaaattt? 🤔 You couldn't have asked any other classmate, "if you wanted to." I don't like the whole story, and I don't find it sad in any way. There are sad stories where people get beaten because they're not independent and have no other choice, but this is just a cheap story thrown together.

It was also never explained why he was beaten. Did Kan-chan know that he was always thinking about someone else? Was that why he was constantly angry with him?

I also found the drawing style rather disgusting, the constant sweat-drenched faces; I could literally smell how they must have smelled with so much sweat. 🤢

Maybe it's because it was one of her first psychological stories. Honestly, this story can't be compared to the deep and beautiful art of "Happy of the End." 😍

I'll see, maybe the side stories are better. 🤨

I actually really enjoy the story and I can understand everyone feeling but maybe because it's too short, the story not enough portray the consequence of abuse. But if it has as many chapter as Saezuru, I believe it will conveyed well.

And I really hate when someone say a story have a plothole while it's actually the person who doesn't read properly and don't understand, for Meilee123

It's obvious Kan said "You are here because it's easy and because you think I can go back to who I am when I was in high school" I know cases in which they try to endure because they believe one day the abuser will change, I know, so that's not plot hole. And it's obvious Yumi still loves Mayama since Azami because he still keep the phone, even Kan realize it, so it's not strange Yumi with Mayama. You just don't read properly. I think he actually like Kan but can't forget Mayama that's why he keeps the phone but when Mayama appear and his love for Kan also slowly disappear, the love back then come back. And you said Azami is unrealistic? please read about working condition in Japan before you say something as unrealistic.

Everything must be Connected!

Reading all of the stories connected to this is a really good idea. I would advise whoever wants to read any of this, read all of the similar seires connected to this one together. It'll make the manga have more feels rather than reading one of the books by itself.
*I read the series in this order:
1.) Sabita Yoru Demo Koi wa Sasayaku
2.) Renai Rubi no Tadashii Furikata (The sequel to Sabita Yoru Demo Koi wa Sasayaku)
3.) Azami (the prequel to Sabita Yoru Demo Koi wa Sasayaku)
(So... it pretty much went Sabita Yoru Demo, prequal, sequal.)

Sabita Yoru Demo Koi wa Sasayaku Review:
First off let me say that I am now a fan of [a]OGERETSU Tanaka's[/a] works and I like her intense stories and art style. I thought this Manga was really good because it could get readers engaged and feel bad for the MC getting beaten by his boyfriend. Sometimes I thought the plot was kind of lacking, or stretched because all the problems could have been worked out with a conversation between eachother, but that's just me. Another thing that I noticed was that the other staff in the MC's job didnt find it at all strange when he would show up hurt saying it was his boyfriend. They did nothing about it and dismissed it. Other than that I really liked how the author is so good at showing diffrent point of views for the characters and how once you read all the parts to the series it all makes sense/brings it together to make it really powerful.

In the prequal Asami, you get to know the back story of Hayashida Kan and see the reason why he's beats the MC. I feel bad for Kan-chan but it doesn't make it ok to lash out at people. And when he burned the MC with the cigarette + when Kan was going to beat up the MC when Mayama (the MC's lover and now boyfriend) was around that was brutal. Thoes parts really stuck out to me.

It's sad that in Renai Rubi no Tadashii Furikata you get to see what the after affect of abusing your lover in Kan's perspective is.
I wish Ogeretsu would have added an extra story like if Kan and his new boyfriend bumped into the MC and Mayama later on when everything simmered down. That would have been a good ending.

Haha I got all emotional reading this. I'm glad that the ending is nice and lovey dovey, just the way I like it.

My favorite part in this was when Kan-chan let Yumi go. I would never have expected him to do that with the way he had behaved throughout the whole manga. That was a good expression he made. It was at that point that I felt for him. He came off as such a mean jerk. I was really touched(and tears welled up, perhaps I've just been more emotional lately).

I'm looking forward to reading the spin-off too.

Some things were solved very easily... but at the same time it's some kind of justice because the main character has happened for SO MUCH, he deserves that relief
I really like it, but it wasn't the manga of the year XD
