That ending

by [deleted member]

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

This is quite smutty that I thought it will be like that till the end. The extra and how it ends put me in good mood. It wraps up nicely, seeing them live together after and a lot older adds depth to the story. The seme looks hot in longer hair and tied at the mid back.

To me, it has all the earmarks of a "rescue" story (which I love), and both of these guys badly need to be rescued. Although there is some heavy-handed persuasion in the beginning, there is nothing forced. Both of them are getting something important from the other. They're smart enough that there's hope that they can figure out how to overcome their lousy childhoods. Would be very disappointed if it doesn't turn out that way.

I was surprised!

After reading the reviews, I began this one tentatively.
At first it seemed like a kinda typical sweet/naive uke and destructive seme pairing but there is something underlying.
I really liked the art...even though it wasn't technically brilliant, there was a lot of emotion in the way they were drawn. I also liked the addition of a somewhat kind and likeable female character.
Sex scenes were pretty standard fare for yaoi, nothing special going on there.

the last chapter is extremely intelligent...you can see the dynamic between the pair shifting..it's almost as if Ichinose has realized that he's actually the one in the driving seat and that Matsubara ends up kinda needing him...there's a power shift in the way they hold eachother in the end. With the seme kind of blushing, the uke with a knowing look on his face....the end of innocence, in a way. Probably one of my favourite endings! I felt very satisfied with it!

Good

I don't agree with you guy cause I like but I'm sure I'm nit the only one.
It's not supposed to be an dark,pscholiak thriller even though it has those tags it's merely a deeper version of the authors other works that if you read you will agree.
Overall I would re foment it to someone looking for a nice easy read on a hot summers day.

Nice Read

I actually really like this manga- it isn't like the usual lovey-dovey everything's fine yaoi manga. It is a bit curious, but certainly not disturbing in the least. (Trust me, I've read some pretty fucked up manga) So yeah, I recommend this and I already love these characters to death. 🙂

the story wasn't that bad, it had a lot of yaoi cliche themes, the art was cute and it was ok to pass your time reading it.
two teenagers, having been through harsh things in the past and even now. unpopular, forgotten by their classmates, neighbours, family, surroundings, they get to know each other, become sex buddies and steadily they form a serious relationship and things turn out for the best for each other.
quiet smutty, for my standards... 🙂

This Scene

Erm, for those who found this disturbing - the characters are in a Domination/Submission (D/s) relationship with elements of light sadism. It seems to be very much consensual, regardless of all the bullying which might take place. The Dom character actually pays a lot of attention to, and takes very good care of his sub.
This manga is unusual in that there are no Bondage elements at all, which is probably better recognized by BL + sado-mazo (SM) fans. Regardless, it it THAT kind of manga - so be warned.

One more for the 'Like' pile...

I like it also. Seme is a bully, but not excessively mean about it. (although I could see that changing)
Uke is a pushover, but he is surprisingly bold at times. Not beating around the bush for him. He blushes constantly, but its clear that there's no non-con here.

I like the art too. It's simple but attractive. In fact, the uke's character design remind me of Sakuragi Yaya's "Yume Musubi, Koi Musubi".

So far so good with the story. I just hope it doesn't turn into a tragedy.

I've read three chapters of this. I agree 100% with pichuloo. The characters are very odd, sometimes making little sense. One just goes along with everything, no matter how ridiculous. The other constantly abuses and belittles the "main" character to the point where it would have made me physically ill had the characters been realistic and fleshed out enough to relate to. The art is very awkward and wonky. Overall it felt like something that was put together by a young teen, and I know nothing about this mangaka, so for all I know it could have been.

I don't mind a story involving abusive relationships or darker themes, this one simply is not well written.

Tsukasa is innocent and in love, Matsubara is arrogant at times but he loves Tsukasa just as much as he loves him, I Recommend this because of the nice pace and plot. It's not that warm and fuzzy, in fact its fairly sad but it's good. The art isn't "too good"but it shows the depth of the feelings' of the characters.
