Volume 1: So 'Kagerou' was sold into sexual slavery by his grandmother, while Kichou was in an abusive household before ending up at the brothel. Kagerou is very young and inexperienced in love and sex, whereas Kichou has already had multiple sexual partners before his mizuage (coming of age ceremony) and basically molests Kagerou here and there in secret, maybe in an attempt to get him used to it because he knows Kagerou will have a hard time when he has to start taking on clients.

This volume ends with >! Kichou forcefully taking Kagerou, Kagerou having his mizuage and Kichou instigating a rivalry with him to make him stay instead of being bought by the mizuage partner.

Volume 2: So if Kichou is >! a noble, could he buy Kagerou and then set him free? I guess it depends on if he thinks doing that or just continuing to save up money would be easier to deal with.

Volume 3: omg Kichou's wearing a yukata and has shorter hair in the illustrations at the front, he looks so good, so seems my guess might come true?

Why would Kichou having sex with Kagerou be considered a punishment by the higher ups?! They know Kichou took Kagerou's first time already and that they have ambiguous feelings for each other. Rape by one of the torturers would be a punishment.

I bet Kichou felt weird having shorter hair for the first time in years, and of course wearing a suit! Bet the pants felt stifling.

I know this is BL but they're prostitutes, wouldn't they know about lube?? Then again, this manga has self-lubricating assholes what did I expect.

Kichou: "Well, I might want to be on the receiving end one day." Ahh I want to see that!

I would have liked to have seen an epilogue later down the line where Kagerou has stepped out a little and found who he wants to be outside of what he was forced to be as a prostitute, like picking his own clothes, hair and work/hobby. And for Kichou to throw away the master/slave contract because that kind of gave me the ick, especially when Kichou was like 'dress up like a bride and I'll act like I'm assaulting you because I'm your master now'. Dude's kinky and I respect that, I just think it fits the theme of the story to drop the binding contract to really start their new lives together as equals. I would have loved to have see the two reclaim their real names. 😢

Overall my problems with the story weren't about the rape parts, if a story supports it enough I may hate it but it makes sense. My problems were all with how melodramatic it was. Kagerou was taken as a boy and forced to change so much about himself and then become a prostitute, I don't blame him for being as childish as he was when he could get away with it, I just didn't like it personally lol.

(It was never addressed what if anything happened between the guy who watched over them and Kichou, maybe I misunderstood though. 🤔)

Edit: Okay I just took a closer look on chil-chil and there are more entries in this universe in novel form! They focus on other characters, even Tamafuyou gets one, but Kichou and Kagerou appear or are mentioned in at least one of them.

CWs: Underage, sexual slavery, molestation, rape as the start of a relationship, rape+attempted murder/choking, torture (water torture, drugging, voyeurism)

Beautiful but I have disagreements

Rating: 8.0 / 10.0

I enjoy the story very much but disapprove the rape scenes and longer conflicts. I don’t fully understand what the hell is minding in Kagerou’s head. I also dislike Kichou’s sour then quickly to soft side because I hate people treating others harshly at first before immediately being nice to them. It’s insane. Regardless, however, this couple is my favorite of the drama cd series.

Too cliche

by elbereth.elentari

Rating: 5.0 / 10.0

The plot is very cliche. Yes, there are many great manga with cliche plots but they make up for it by developing those cliches in some novel direction or by developing the typical character types to make them fresh and original. This series does neither. It just ropes you in with sex scenes and predictable cliffhangers.

Edo Japan? Historical? WTF?!

This happened in some make belief time frame, place or alternate universe. The setting is not in Edo, and definitely not historical. They have goddamn hair tongs, maid cafes and a whole other bunch of modern day inventions.

Somewhat dark and at the same time so beautiful

The first time i read this it was not completely scanlated and i didn't feel it was that great (probably because at the time i wasn't that good at handling the angst)
But this time, in order to finish reading it, i gave it a try from the start and i think is a brilliant work, i loved every bits of it, even with the demons that keep on haunting them at the end, it's a beautiful work, with beautiful characters (and i don't just mean their looks).

Art is beautiful

by [deleted member]

Rating: 9.0 / 10.0

I like that the seme isn't totally looking girly and cut his hair short later (and hopes it stays that way even though he said he thinks to grow it back).

The story is indeed bittersweet but that makes it beautiful. As for the pacing, I think it's alright for the characters' developments and emotions needed to be built and established in unhurried passion, with the tensions and atmosphere to add depth to the story. TBH, I had this on hold for years until today...I read this in one go. The super feminine art style used to turned me off in the past. Guess it's worth it when one's feels like it reading it. Overall, it's a great read. Umm, the ending left me wanting for more though. Another omake or dj would be desirable.

Might as well have been shorter

The art's very pretty and all, and the premise is unusual, but the plot and characters felt kind of vapid. Guy A and Guy B like each other, aren't allowed to, so A is tsundere all the time (and claims he doesn't like B) and avoids taking customers, and B keeps getting injured. They end up living happily ever after. I feel this could have just as well been a 1-volume story, instead of 3, considering that not much happened. I ended up skimming through the last several chapters because I was getting bored and just wanted it to finish already.

Beautiful and Bittersweet

by Cassandra08

I found this yaoi absolutely beautiful both in terms of the art and the plot. The author and artist very effectively use art and dialogue to express the emotions of the characters and the bittersweet situation they are in. I never personally found the seme too girly, and I don't understand why other reveiwers have had issues with liking a seme who has bottomed: I thought this only added to the beauty of the plot, especially seeing the uke's reaction to this.

Although the uke is very 'girly' (I prefer to think of him as being beautiful and feminine rather than girly) I also never had an issue with this or even considered his personality annoying whereas normally I hate girly ukes! I don't know why that is, although maybe because the rest of the art was so beautiful I unconsciously accepted this (in other manga's where the uke is the only beautifully drawn character I think this tends to stick out more). I also think that his personality was not unnecessarily feminine: to make the plot work, this personality for him was effective. Although loved the seme more (I thought he was a very well developed character) I still enjoyed the uke and the conflict between the two originally.

The whole plot of this manga appealed to me and I loved it. Bittersweet, beautiful art, tastefully done, well developed characters... what more do you want? Definitely going on my favourites, I even cried at moments.

Even if you don't like feminine ukes, then at least try it out and come to your own decision after reading it! You will be blown away.

Suprised as well...

Looking at the cover and the setting I thought, "Oh another historical tale of tragic prostitutes who love each other and will only be able to really be together from afar or in death..." But it actually didn't turn out that badly although after the back story I thought I hope they get away before they have to sleep with customers...how sad to be in love with a fellow prostitute and only be able to see each other after having spent the day sleeping with strangers. The seme was really fem at the beginning but it got much better. I can't help hoping the uke will begin to look a little more masculine as the story goes on as well.
