I HATE IT!

by CJchan092

Rating: N/A

I hate that bastard seme and that super pathetic uke.
Usually, in a love-triangle I always go for the main couple. But not this one. Totally not this one.

I really wanted the uke to end up Gou. The story was solved in not a believable way.

But I liked the uke at first.

But after he left Gou just because that seme's not feeling well, I end up hating him. ARGH! I HATE THEM SO BAD! What's with that?! They even become lovey-dovey RIGHT in front of GOU. I feel so sorry for him! I even cried when he was just left out just LIKE that.

I REAAAAALLY LOVE GOU. He's such a nice guy.

Good but it has some issues...

I liked this manga from beginning to end, actually. It had an interesting setting and, I think, enough emotional development to make the turns in the plot believable. I even really liked the ending. It felt realistic to me because Yuuji did go through a lot even before his life-changing moment with his stint at the hospital. I thought it was quite obvious that his life was spinning out of control after the breakup and that he was very unhappy. I also liked how he wasn't completely changed, he was still rather rude and quick-tempered at the end there. It was a sweet ending but not unrealistically lovey-dovey... What I had a bit of a problem with was Chika. I understand why he didn't leave Yuuji before, that was not the issue. He just left Gou so easily to go back to Yuuji. It was too sudden and too easy! I didn't really mind that it was his decision and not the result of Yuuji chasing after him. I just wish his feelings had been developed more at the end. Otherwise what was the point of breaking up in the first place? Also, because Chika and Gou didn't have sex it sort of left the impression that, since Gou couldn't satisfy him, Chika is better off with Yuuji. What the hell? Well it was implied that the relationship felt like chackles to Chika or something so obviously the sex wasn't the only thing off in the relationship. I only wish the sex and whether they had it or didn't have it wasn't brought up at all... There was too much emphasis placed on the lack of sex and that was a bit dumb. Sex sex sex like that's all that's important! Other than that it was good, worth reading absolutely... The art wasn't good but not bad either. I'll give it an 8.5/10

Sweet and Sour

This story and art has moments that make it worth the read. There are certain scenes, where her characters are drawn with expressions on their face that are so multi-faceted: sorrow can be combined with confusion, frustration with anger. (pg13, 16,70, 92). She is a master at expressive faces. And the words! Some turns of phrases were very powerful. "Imprisoned by the chains of my own heart." "Tell me I'm enough."

Certain scenes are incredible: Yuuji licking the tears off Chikao's face as he taunts him. Chikao begging Yuuji (before the break up) and trying to explain he doesn't want a replacement. He only wants the one thing he loves.

The whole story is based on Yuuji trying to see how much Chikao will forgive. He is testing not only Chikao, but himself. Finally, when things come to a head, they both fall apart. Chikao seems to be living in a 'zoned' out place and Yuuji in an oblivion of pleasure-filled deep emotional blockage. I kept thinking there was going to be more angst and drama with Chikao. "He's gonna snap! He's gonna do something CRAZY!" (Especially with a title like 'Overdose!') But then, like the ending, i kept experiencing a disappointing, soft thud. Very anti-climatic story in many spots. In fact, it seems all the crisis was resolved with a sound that went 'pssssssssss' when it should have gone 'bang! -with happiness or sadness or any! emotion. The illness/pain at the end that made Yuuji think he was getting some sort of karmic retribuition to teach him how it felt to Chikao seemed contrived and a weak-plot device. (Although, again, the art! Incredible. The characters poses and expressions yank your heart out.)

I thought the story had an excellent base. It saddened me that the delivery needed work. I will continue to check out her work and follow this artist of words in illustration though. One of my ALL time favourite stories is by her: CUT. faints

PS. I think the title is referring to the fact that Yuuji and Chikao both experience an 'overdose' that cause their lives to change.

I remember tagging this as "stupid" back when I first read it.

Rating: 1.0 / 10.0

And, after rereading it in 2024 — that tag is well earned. It's a story about a doormat who's so pathetic that he's satisfied with scraps of affection...and it's really boring. The entire point of Chikao, who doesn't exist outside of Yuuji, is that he suffers because he's in love with a serial cheater. That's it. It's a woe-is-me, "I can't help loving you, we're both so toxic" cliché. Neither Chikao nor Yuuji have any redeeming qualities, and Gou is just there as the obligatory third wheel.

The ending is more wishy-washy bullshit, with Yuuji being upset for awhile that his thing left, then randomly getting appendicitis and Chikao going back to him, right in front of his new boyfriend. Yuuji doesn't have to apologize or reflect on anything, and he's still an asshole to Chikao at the end — but it's fine, because Chikao likes it. Slap on some "is this going to last?" 2deep4me, and there you have it.

I don't recommend this manga at all. Not for the story, not for the art (which is among the worst I've ever seen), not for the characters.

Y the h did the uke put up with the seme?!? Gou was really kind and I wanted him to end up with Gou dangit. Gonna be frank here, but the one shots that the mangaka wrote were wayyyy better than this 4-chap story. Just sayin'
This is probably one of the not-so-good works by sensei. AND SHE USUALLY WRITE GREAT ONES!!!!

I love this one! I read it again and again. Definitely a good read. Everyone says

Chikao is an idiot, but I feel they fail to see that in the end, Yuuji does change. They say he was a jerk, but he didn't know he was. He didn't realize he was in love with Chikao. Once he realized it, he treated him better. I guess you can say the theme is ' love conquers all.'

Either way, it's a good plot, good art and interesting characters. I recommend it to anyone who likes an angst-filled love.

Initially I thought ithis was pretty lame, but eventually the uke stood up for himself and the ables turned around. Certainly not one of the best yaoi that I've read, but it did made my heart squeezed during the critical scenes.

I can't believe this - Chikao is such a pushover that when he has a better boyfriend he still comes crying back to his fomer boyfriend who was a lying, cheating bastard. And the said lying cheating bastard - how can he go from his former personality to one where he angsts over how much he loves Chikao 😕 ? I don't get this. It reminds me of Hachi and Takumi from Nana 🙄 The character developments are messed up and all over the place. I have NO sympathy for either of Chika or Yuuji. I give this stupid manga a 3 for the good art.

This is my first time reading his work but i really like it. This kind of yaoi plot makes me cry that's why i like it. I recommend this to all yaoi readers. I add these manga in my recommended list which include cut, yatteranaze,and kesheido club cause these manga made me cry.
