Is he or isn’t he?

Tatsumi continues to be equivocal in his behavior towards Morinaga. But now he’s got a new complication to deal with when his father comes to visit.

The story advances in complexity and emotional depth and unexpected hilarity as Tatsumi struggles to come to grips with his changing feelings towards Morinaga. The unexplained incident in Tatsumi’s past that makes him so homophobic also causes him to become truly anguished about his altered emotions. The other characters add their own problems to this emotional stew, making this latest installment well worth the wait for Takanaga’s many fans.

Review for volumes 1-12


Takanaga Hinako has always been a hit or miss author for me; she's got a few really nice works but others are either too heavy on the comedy or graphic side. The Tyrant Falls in Love lands somewhere in between which makes it a really difficult one for me to rate. I love the characters, it's got just the right amount of humour and a nice enough story. But at the same time, there are a lot of problematic themes and a lot of the story is just contrived and dragged for the sake of adding more sexual scenes.

It's been a long time since I last read it and I remember struggling with it back then already. No matter how you twist and turn it, the story starts off with one of the main characters raping the other. Never mind that he says sorry and the other eventually accepts the apology, I just found it difficult to go along with the story knowing how it started. That being said, I do actually really like the characters, not just the main ones but also all the side cast - my favourite is probably Isogai, the seemingly only straight male character in the whole series who's just hilarious.

The story in itself is also not bad, it does raise some interesting subjects. The main issue, apart from the fact that it starts off with rape, is that I feel the story should have been wrapped up several volumes ago already. There have been several points in the story of character development where one could have drawn the line, but not only are new chapters released at a very slow pace, it mostly just feels like it is drawn out for the sake of drawing more smut. The character development keeps spiralling backwards just for the main characters to be confronted with the exact same issues. It's great that they always talk things out, but they always find themselves back at the same problem.

I really like Takanaga's art, though, but that too isn't enough to keep me reading. For a series of which I had conflicted feelings from the start, I just don't see myself waiting around for yet another volume and hoping it's the last. I've read up to 12 volumes and feel that it is time to drop this one.

My boy Isogai is back in this one. He's an agent of chaos and I love him for that.
Chapter 29 was so good, I loved it.
Morinaga's reaction when Tomoe came out to his dad and was so easily accepted made me so sad. It must be so tough when your own family disregards you like that, hopefully senpai will come around and Morinaga will gain a family that loves him for who he is (though he kinda won them over already).

The plot doesn't really progress.
At this point i'm reading the series just for a particular scene which really got under my skin when i was younger, and i don't remember in which volume it takes place, so i'm reading the whole thing.

I think this was my favorite volume thus far! All the characters and the way they play off each other was just great. Seeing Tatsumi nearly admit his feelings was so adorable.

[Melissa Kidd · Rating 3 out of 5]

This volume is definitely better than the previous one. There is clear progress going on here. While Soichi is still abusive and resistant he is starting to realize his own feelings. His body’s reactions give him away, something Morinaga notices and tries to bring to light. The artwork is pretty good. I’ve seen better, but I’ve also seen a lot worse too. The plot is intriguing if you are interested in stories of men totally resistant to being gay even though they are. It’s a deep personal struggle, something I don’t envy Soichi for at all. That alone makes you care for him as a character.

[Spring Holbrook · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another fun volume, although I'm starting to wonder if there's any end in sight. I like the relationship that Morinaga and Tatsumi have, but they seem to be on hold: there's no real progression going on, or it's a very slow progression.

Tatsumi threatening Morinaga with a coffee pot was hilarious, so was the little side comic at the end. Embarassed Tatsumi is pretty much the cutest thing ever.

Looking forward to the next volume!

Oh to be young and in love~ 😍 They still have a long way before Senpai can really accept his blossoming feelings for Morinaga but we take what we can 💗👌

Life hasn't been kind to precious Morinaga but I'm glad now he has Senpai at his side~

[scarlettraces · Rating 5 out of 5]

and we're finally getting to the 'falls in love' bit. though what really made this vol for me was Isogai playing cupid. heh.

[Dreua · Rating 5 out of 5]

Quite the adorable volume, I am finding it harder and harder to put the series down knowing that it will end soon

[T. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Things in this volume are just rollin on along. There's a positive turn of events at the end that made me downright flutter. It turns out there's some truth to the title of this series, after all.

Finally Senpai is starting to be more open about his feelings to Morinaga.
