#Underage sex #Minor/Minor #Highschool romance #Uke tutors Seme #Life is full of bullshit #Seme comes off as bi #Uke comes off as gay #Put them together and you get young looove #Uke's guardian does have some inappropriate feelings for Uke #But that's put to rest #Seme and Uke have misunderstandings but they're understandable #They work through it eventually This story beautifully portrays the truth that "Everyone has their own story". Uke's mother abandoned him, his father died, and the father's lover who is raising him is also dealing w/the loss. Seme's family had to run away from loan sharks after loaning money to Seme's ex-girlfriend, which makes it incredibly difficult for Seme to stay in school. Even the girlfriend here, who is so easy to vilify and definitely did something terrible, had her reason for doing things that made me genuinely wish the best for her character. The way the characters work through each problem, one after the other, together and apart, was just...yes, lol. Seme was just kind of drifting through life, but when Uke's safety was threatened by loan sharks, that was when he decided to take action about his family's debt--and that kills me. Uke had an unhealthy reaction to Seme needing to leave and put the debt to rest, but after all the losses he suffered as a child, it's not surprising. And their REUNION. OH GOD THEIR REUNION. YESSSSSS.

Then when Seme realizes that 'no sir I'm not okay with that what the fuck', they would've confronted this issue then. But I can't really complain because they were teenagers then and they both have issues that would be impossible to work out on their own, which they seem to be. Uke is emotionally repressed while Seme is emotionally stunted, so of course they weren't in a position to help each other grow. Them being away from each other did way more favors than disservices to them. Also, author-san glossed over their issues in the manga, but there were hints as to what drove each of their actions. Uke doesn't even tell his parents where he's living and doesn't keep in contact with anyone. Seme, on the other hand, has never loved anyone, as evidenced by how he never cared about anyone leaving him until Uke came along then left. In spite of everything, they were the only healthy aspect of each other's lives...which is terrible, when you consider how unhealthy their relationship is. xD But what got me in the end was how they forced each other to change. Since Seme doesn't know how to identify emotion, his body was the one to tell him what the hell was wrong, which lead to Seme prioritizing Uke's needs, which is only fair because he needs Uke. On the other hand, Uke finally asserted himself and admitted what he kept hidden from Seme all this time. What was stagnant water between them suddenly started moving. It's not much, but it's enough for them to move forward together.

#Underage sex #Minor/Minor #Highschoolers #Highschool romance #Dubcon #Uke has bi energy #Seme has demi energy with high sex drive #Also not self-aware so body has to react to make him use his head #The smut were was good #Uke is a pushover romantic #Seme is a slutty nice guy It was a cute story. The plot was derivative of the whole 'willful self-denial and ignorance' characterization, but there were cute moments that were interspersed that made me keep going. And seriously, the smut is good. The part where Seme does Uke in a semi-public place where they have a chance of getting caught and fucks Uke while Uke is talking to others did me in lol.

#Sadistic seme #Passive uke #No seriously uke I #Someone give the boy a knife to use during times like these #Biting fetish #Possessive seme #Dubcon #Rape #Sexual assault #Abusive relationship I was tempted to put this in faves because chp 5-6 + extra was really, really good at making the feels into a blade that could stab me through the gahdang heart. Buuuut the change was just...too abrupt. Too unnatural. This time, it made the Seme a caricature rather than a character. Which I do commend because it's usually the Uke with their "oh as long as you're the one doing it, you can rape me" shtick. But this time, it's Seme with the "Let me do a total 180* right off the bat with the power of love" shtick lol. Seriously, the rape scene was pretty bad. It's believable that the Uke wouldn't fight back--and even end up forgiving Seme--but it's NOT believable for the Seme to hurt Uke that bad and change so drastically just because he all of a sudden feels guilty. Like, /I/ was hurting in my pelvic region just from imagining the pain of that. Either way, I really did like those last chapters. If I just ignore everything else before that and concentrate on those moments, I still enjoyed this. I can't give it more than 3 stars tho lol.

#Dubcon #Sexual assault #Kidnapping #Forced marriage #2 x 2 = 4p sex #Language barrier as plot device #Nudist tribe #Orgies #Sexual freedom #Anyone can have sex anywhere #Sorta like bonobos #Not as an insult just comparison #Our more average monogamous sexually conservative society is like chimpanzees #Apes are our relatives they deserve respect yo #You and me baby we ain't nothing but mammals #So let's do it like they do in the discovery channel *wheeze* I can't help but have laughed at this the whole way through. I do think it's BS that's author-san is using the 'language barrier' as a way for Uke to be Seme's bride, but...this isn't Mother's Spirit, just enjoy the story for the smutty goodness it is. xD This manga was just some feel-good (pun intended) sweetness. There was some interesting cultural aspects that author-san included at the end, which made the story interesting. For example, the tribe realizes that the anal sex leads to tearing, which then leads to hemorrhaging, which is why no gay couple has done it. So it was super funny to see Uke teach Seme how to do anal and then both of them teach it to the rest of the gay couples in the tribe. It was a touch of realism that I really appreciate because author-san could've just made it smut and left it at that, but nope! They added fun parts to it (The learning was more fun than the smut for me lol) and I respect.

#Uke is a construction worker who loves cooking #Seme is a reporter who does fun TV segments including one on cooking #Gay uke #Gay-only-for-uke seme #Shy uke #Pushy seme #Homophobia #What it means to be gay #Pretty sure uke's coworker is bi and has internalized homophobia #Seme loses his house in a fire and ends up living with uke #And they were roommates lol Tbh, this would've been 5 stars had it not been for v02c3-4. Those last two chapters just made me dock an entire star and since it's the ending of the story, I can't make this a fave of mine--which really sucks because I really, really enjoyed the prior chapters. But I hated the light-hearted way they portrayed the neglect + mental/emotional abuse of the mom, attempting to make her a likeable character despite not having changed at all. Though, I will admit that I didn't completely read chp 3 or 4 because of my disappointment of the plot direction. If I just...end the entire story at v02c02, then I thoroughly enjoyed the drama and growth of this couple and their character. There was great representation on what it's like being gay and being in a relationship that's stigmatized in society. The way Seme showed his dedication to Uke and how Uke was able to hold onto his courage because of Seme was just *chef's kiss* magnifique. xD Those first several chapters were really just a joy to read through.
