How can you rape the person you love? What a sh*t

[Curious Madra · Rating 1 out of 5]

Yeah mind your own business if someone likes someone else, the Amamiya character should realise that Kuraki is a piece of dog poo like why the need to fall in love with him?!

[Trix · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not your average angsty fluffy story here.

Amamiya believes he is in love with one of the clients visiting the movie shop where he works. And in the meantime, sleeping with a colleague from college, Kuraki. Seems like a good arrangement for both, until Kuraki hears Amamiya saying someone else's name in his sleep. This makes him lash out in violence. Yet, despite that, Amamiya manages to see why Kuraki acted that way. And from the rough encounter, comes the understanding that both may be falling in love with each other.

Quite an interesting story. Definitely worth 3.5 stars

[The Half-blood Reader · Rating 1 out of 5]

The art was good, but domestic violence + rape? No, thank you.

[Chris · Rating 2 out of 5]

Nah.

This is the first manga I've read from Kyuugou and after that? There was no escape for me. I mean, it's one of those that "hurt so good". Angsty af and exactly the amount and way to send you reeling. Fuckin' 3 dimensional characters included.

Aku ngga keberatan dengan cerita yang anti-mainstream, dan membacanya bukan sesuatu yang aneh buatku. Kayaknya aku emang suka dengan sesuatu yang 'ngga biasanya' kali ya? Entahlah. Susah dijelaskan. Wkwkwkwkwk.

Tapi, yah aku ngga keberatan juga baca komik bergenre yaoi (it's something like boysxboys) Buatku, dunia fiksi itu ada untuk merealisasikan apa yang tidak bisa diwujudkan di dunia nyata? *yaampun, dalem banget ya bahasanya wkwkwkwkwk* Jadi, ini buatku baca komik Yaoi bukan sesuatu yang aneh :>

Terus terang, aku suka sama cerita ini. Jenisnya one-shot (langsung tamat dalam satu chapter) dan dibagian akhirnya ada sebuah quotes yang sangat berkesan sekali untukku :

"When you've held love hidden in your heart for so long, you'll get just as scared of fulfilling it as you are of letting it go..."

Karena cerita yang dikemas oleh Kyuugo-sensei ini begitu berkesan untukku, dan quotes juga JLEB banget ke akunya, aku memutuskan untuk memberikan 4 bintang untuk one-shot yang satu ini :")

The best manga one shot I've ever read. Kyuugou is a master of psychological stories.
