Mitsuka, Volume 2

Mitsuka #2

by Akabeko

Leo is host at a nightclub, and he always thought he had no interest in men — until he slept with Takahiro, a sex worker who introduced him to pleasures he'd never felt before. Now, sex with women doesn’t satisfy him, and after begging Takahiro to sleep with him again, they agree to a “friends with benefits” arrangement.

But just when Leo thinks he may be falling in love, one of his best customers asks him to sleep with her. Takahiro catches him in the act, and things take a dark turn…

I guess I liked it more than volume one… two stars

[Molin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Better than vol 1 i guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Hisgirl85 · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars. leaping up to making more developmental sense with character growth. Still lots of smut, but also things make more sense.

[Yeollie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Takahiro and Reo have a transactional relationship, but they move in together to facilitate their arrangement. The structure is a little confusing, but the story’s been getting good!

Given Mitsuka’s confusing structure, I’d recommend reading them back-to-back in this order: Volume 3, 1, 2.

This is a PWP, but it’s confusing the first time you read it. Volume 1 throws you into the action with little to no explanation, Vol. 2 has the plot’s development, and Vol. 3 is pre-Vol. 1 context.

Overall thoughts
Mitsuka is for a specific audience given its trope. Misunderstandings and miscommunication are a huge part of the story. Although the plot isn’t the strongest point, it’s still interesting. It shines in the spicy scenes, and as a PWP, it does its primary selling point justice. Despite its caveats, the art is beautiful, and the spice is done well. Just be prepared to have patience with the plot.

Who is this manga for
I’d recommend this to manga fans who don’t mind a complicated story. Misunderstandings and miscommunication are essential to the plot, so fans of the tropes, or patient tropes will likely enjoy this PWP with a plot.

O sea, estuvo ok. Leí los 3 primeros volúmenes que son los que cuentan con traducción. No diría que es de mis lecturas o sagas favoritas. No. La realidad es que solo es una lectura para pasar el rato.

Nunca he sido fanática de los temas de escort y este lo quería leer ya que lo alababan mucho como historia erotica. Pero, sinceramente, si no siento una conexión emocional entre los personajes no me sirve de nada.

La historia de Leo y Takahiro si bien para el segundo tomo es agradable y linda, eso no quita como inició, y la verdad prefiero olvidar como empezaron esos dos. Es bastante cuestionable. Y creo que de ley hay que leer “Raka” sino es imposible de entender el primer capitulo de Mitsuka.

Bueno no estoy ansiosa por leer la continuación (volumen 4) pero ahí veré que opino cuando la lea.

Un poco mejor que el primero porque se ven más sentimientos desarrollados en el jefe, pero sigue siendo una mierda porque en las escenas de sexo sigue pareciendo que Leo no quiere estar ahí y al otro le da igual, le dice perdon y Leo: no pasa nada!!

SI PASA HIJO SAL DE AHI

Y como en el 1 no hay desarrollo de sentimientos porque ya empiezan juntos y no veo que se conozcan ni tengan una conversación decente, pues me dan igual así que me aburro un poco leyendo.

Voy a leer el 3 porque lo tengo pero luego se van a ir todos a tomar viento.

Love their story!

Loving this continuation of Mareo and Takahiro’s story. The graphics and storytelling were really good and I enjoyed the story from beginning to end. Can’t wait for the next installment.

I read this on Hoopla App, I wasn’t sure what to rate this vol 2 book of the series. I in between of 3.5 or 4 stars.
I hope the next vol series gets better. I was thinking the same thing as Reo why he isn’t putting his d*** in him. lol, that all I can said. ;)

[Mari · Rating 1 out of 5]

I skimmed through a lot of this. Wish I could have enjoyed this. It's just a very disjointed and miserable read.

[DonutKnow · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awww Reo and Takahiro were meant for each other ❤️ I love reading the moments when the characters know that that is their person and that there will be no one else 😍😍

[Gray · Rating 4 out of 5]

Better than the first book atleast.

[H · Rating 5 out of 5]

Even better than the first volume, which I really enjoyed! I'm so excited for the third volume.

[Van · Rating 5 out of 5]

I need there to be a 4th volume since the 3rd was a prequel T_T

[Briana · Rating 3 out of 5]

So cute. I love this couple!

[Camron Winger · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was cute-slightly confusing at the end but for the most part a good story. I liked the level of detail in the work for both characters-and how that lead to an interesting plot twist.

[Ester · Rating 4 out of 5]

Este segundo tomo me ha gustado muchísimo más que el primero, el cual se nota que Akabeko da un par de tumbos hasta cogerle el tono a la historia al ser una secuela de un spinoff de historias cortas con una base sencilla y comenzando Néctar in media res. Si bien al final del primer volumen vemos mucho mejor la psicología de los personajes, sus dudas, miedos y sus verdaderos sentimientos, en este segundo todo eso se trabaja mejor, se desarrolla y hace que los personajes sean más complejos y que estén más redondeados. Con ganas de leer el tercero, el cual nos explica cómo ambos, después de reencontrarse, comienzan a verse, tener sexo y enamorarse.

BL protagonitzat pels personatges de la 2a història de 落果 Rakka (Rakka Spin off). Moltes anades i vingudes, problemes bàsics de comunicació, de com etiquetar la relació i dilemes al voltant de la feina i l'amor (perquè un és host i l'altre treballa en un sex club). La trama per si sola és molt tipicota i l'únic que la fa interessant són les il·lustracions tan expressives de la mangaka.
