This was honestly so disgusting, horrifying, and messed up. I'm giving this a low rating for how the author chose to handle the ending. I was not satisfied. I wanted justice! Umm.. no. Where were the consequences? Nonexistent? hmm...
Don't get me wrong. I am not giving this a low rating for the content, just how the author went about with the ending. I'm not one to stray away from taboo topics in literature, just how they choose to execute it is how I judge and rate them.

Khi còn là một đứa trẻ, Yui rất thân với anh hàng xóm mà cậu bé gọi là "Nii-chan". Cho đến một ngày nọ, biến cố xảy ra và Nii-chan biến mất khỏi cuộc đời Yui.
Khi lên cấp ba, Yui vẫn luôn nhớ về Nii-chan và luôn lang thang tìm kiếm anh ta những lúc rãnh rỗi. Và kỳ tích đã xuất hiện, Yui lần nữa gặp lại Nii-chan, nhưng Yui không hề hay biết được, rằng Nii-chan của hiện tại không còn như xưa nữa...
Mình không biết nữa... Tất cả những gì trong quyển manga này đầy đáng sợ ngay từ chap đầu tiên, đó là cái mà mọi người gọi là "ấu dâm", lạm dụng. Thậm chí những phân cảnh sau cuộc hội ngộ của Yui và Nii-chan vẫn tràn ngập những phân đoạn lạm dụng, rape một cách tàn nhẫn. Mình thấy tội cho Yui, cậu bị ám ảnh và dằn vặt những điều không nên có, cậu luôn tìm kiếm tình yêu ở Nii-chan nhưng gã thì sao?
"You don't understand, Yui... When you aren't blessed by anyone, you can't acknowledge "love"."
Thực sự Harada khiến mình mâu thuẫn với diễn biến của にいちゃん Nii-chan . Nii-chan là kẻ bị tổn thương nhưng lại muốn tổn thương người khác, từ một kẻ lạm dụng và đáng ghét, Nii-chan có một quá khứ đáng thương, một tâm hồn tội nghiệp và không được bất cứ ai thấu hiểu cho. Một câu chuyện buồn cho việc giáo dục sai cách, việc "uốn nắn" đầy tàn bạo mà các vị phụ huynh cho là đúng nhưng nó lại ghê tởm vô cùng.
Mình thích nét vẽ của Harada trong quyển manga này, hai sắc màu đen và trắng nổi bật một cách kỳ lạ (đặc biệt là màu đen), từ mái tóc nhân vật trông mềm mại, cho tới đôi mắt toát ra sự u buồn và đau khổ.
Mình rất thích nhân vật Maiko. Trong một vài quyển manga mà mình đã đọc của Harada và cả にいちゃん Nii-chan , nhân vật nữ giống như một vị anh hùng, Maiko là sự cứu rỗi trong đời Yui và định mệnh như sắp đặt họ lại với nhau.
Và điều mình thích ở にいちゃん Nii-chan đó là cách kể chuyện của Harada, nó khiến mình nghĩ tới những cuốn sách của Sayaka Murata theo cách nhân vật bị trói buộc bởi những định kiến xã hội. Yui, Nii-chan và Maiko, những con người không "bình thường" gặp nhau, mỗi người điều đó một nỗi niềm và họ ép bản thân đi theo cái "bình thường". Ta cũng hiểu được rằng chẳng thể níu kéo quá khứ mãi, mọi nỗi đau con người cũng phải học cách quên đi, Yui và Nii-chan giống như dần hủy hoại hay chữa lành cho nhau nữa. Một cái kết vừa dark lại lẻ loi chút hy vọng.

Ha sido una lectura muy desagradable. Pensé que al tratar el tema que trata sería una crítica a todo el abuso a menores. Pero no, todos los personajes normalizan los abusos, las violaciones y el maltrato. Además de que romantizan la relación de un pederasta con un niño.... NUNCA, NUNCA VA EXISTIR EL AMOR ENTRE UN HOMBRE ADULTO Y UN NIÑO.
No recomiendo para nada esta lectura.

More twisted than a pretzel. Leave it to Harada to mess up your mind and render you speechless. And that's why I love Harada.
I know I'm currently on the mission to read yaoi manga in alphabetical order, but I was searching for some smutty doujin as appetizer before I go back to my novel. So, when I saw Nii-chan I just thought it's time to read it, I'm in the mood for something darker right now, haha, and to hell with the alphabetical order, can't wait until I reach letter N, because I'm still at letter A and there is a ton of A... 😓

December 16, 2022Harada….. they definitely WENT THERE 🙃 this is a deeply disturbing story about the consequences of parents not supporting kids who’ve been victims of grooming/rape (because of their selfish fear of THEIR reputations being tarnished with zero regard for their kids’ trauma). The focus is placed entirely on the traumatized kids. The way the lines of who is an abuser/victim get blurred in the end as a consequence of unprocessed early childhood trauma is deeply disturbing and chilling. Even more disturbing was where the story ended. I genuinely have no idea what to fucking rate this thing …. I see what the point was—and if it had just been prose and words on a page, I probably would’ve rated it—but explicit illustrations of child r*** …. 🤮

This story is... Interesting, shall we say. If I were to put a finger on what I like about this story, it's that everyone is wrong in some form or fashion. Kei is wrong for being abusive, his parents are wrong for the way they try to fix him, Maiko is wrong for holding a grudge against Kei, Yui is wrong for thinking his relationship with Kei can be healthy... But wrong isn't quite the word, here, is it? These characters make these decisions because they're influenced by the misdeeds of others. The conflict stems from people's inability to remove themselves from their own perspectives, and society at large's inability to understand and deal with the other with anything other than demonizing it. Now, some would come to the conclusion that this means that Yui and Kei's relationship should be accepted, but I don't view it that way. I think that Yui and Kei are together because they aren't understood. When Kei's parents try to fix him, they address the symptoms of his problems, rather than the cause. They don't try to understand why Kei is the way he is, they simply want to fix him. Similarly, Yui can't understand his own turmoil because nobody understands him.

*Reread 4/8/2022*
Still such a powerful manga. I feel like it wasn't quite as good now that I know everything, but I also liked looking at all the details and noticing how resentful Kei was towards Yui in the beginning. I feel like he wasn't angry with Yui for running away. He was angry because Yui was able to run away and live a normal life afterwards. Yui could keep up appearances and his parents didn't try to "correct" him. Kei hated Yui for it, because he wasn't able to do that and his parents treated him so terribly. By the end Kei was just exhausted and had given up. He seemed like a shell of himself, although he was fucked from the beginning so I don't think he really had a good version of himself to be.
This is a really messy and disturbing story. Harada's great.
*Original Review 3/6/2022*
Mai is a bad bitch!!! When she pulled out that taser??? She served.
Mild spoilers, because I have thoughts:
Damn what a story. Kei was so fucking pitiful at the end I almost felt bad for him. Yui was kind of terrifying. Like he's clearly fucked up, but he seems so normal and calm and collected. It was like a flip switched midway. I'm not sure how I feel about the ending. It's not a good ending, definitely not a happy one, but I understand it? I kind of would like to see how they would be through the years, because they should definitely not be together. They both need some serious help. Like Kei is still horrible for doing what he did, but in the end he's a victim himself, who didn't get the proper treatment he should've. His family tried so hard to fix him for the sake of appearances and fit the mold of a "proper" person, that he was never able to properly cope or understand that what was done to him was wrong. I also absolutely hate the fact that the man who ruined him is now living happy normal life. He absolutely does not deserve that. With Yui idk. He's just got serious Stolkholm I guess.
The conclusion isn't really a conclusion, but I'm fine with how it ended. This story as a whole is meant to be thought provoking and the ending gives that as well. It's a fucked up, but it was a good read imo.

This was messed up and an uncomfortable read. I skipped a lot of parts so idk if i missed out on stuff but idk what to make of that ending? I was pissed the parents didnt contact the police because of gossip and I get that the dude had an attachment to his agressor but was the ending with the pills showing that their " romance" is fucked up or going in their sense ? Cuz im all for stories ending in a way that's not positive for the characters involved ( idk how to word this) but it seemed as if the author was like " welp. Their choice!" Instead of " that's what you should NOT be doing kids". And usually I'd be like "ok you are free to write whatever" but this story was so detailed that idk i feel weird abt this , i dont want to go back on it. I dont know why i keep reading shit like this and lolita it litterally makes me want to throw up. I do think (hope) that the way the parents were never informed , even in the end , was an opening for us to imagine what would happen to the nii chan once they do find out. But why didn't the friend say anything seriouslyyyy argh

La cantidad de gente que romantiza esto me ASQUEA, desconozco el si la autora también lo romantiza o simplemente quise crear una historia más como Lolita y otras obras que tocan temas fuertes pero que no tienen la intención de ser romantizadas.
Si bien "Nii-chan" fue una víctima que no fue adecuadamente tratado luego de descubriera lo que hacía con Ojisan, ES UN PUTO PEDÓFILO. Y sí, se pude haber arrepentido y todo lo que quisiera, pudo haberse dado cuenta que sus traumas fueron debido a que sufrió un abuso y todo pero... Ese chabón era un enfermo y tenía que ir a la cárcel, o al menos tener un buen tratamiento. Eso sí, me dio mucho coraje que sus padres lo trataban de anormal y lo obligaron a tener sexo con una mujer siendo él gay, me dio bronca que llegó hasta el punto de vomitar cuándo lo obligaron a mantener relaciones. ¿Es una víctima y no era anormal solo por su orientación? Claro, fue una víctima y es normal que sea gay pero sigue siendo un puto pedófilo por ende sus acciones no están justificadas.
Yui... Él sí es una víctima. Y me dio bronca ver como muchas personas lo llamaron "culpable" pero A VER, fue abusado y luego de eso no recibió un tratamiento para que se de cuenta de que eso no era amor y estaba mal. No es culpa de el chico, era un nene.
Maiko... Reina te amo, pero hay cosas que mmm no. Cuándo te enteraste de que Yui fue abusado y de que estaba viendi a Kei de nuevo tendrías que haber hecho algo, tenías en frente tuyo a dos víctimas de abuso sexual, uno que estaba cegado por el trauma y otro que tenía el rol de pedófilo. Sacando eso de lado, la adoré como persona, sencilla, inteligente, de mente abierta y siempre estuvo para Yui.
... "Ojisan" Viejo de mierda. Si no fuera por su enfermedad mental de mierda, pedófilo asqueroso, Kei no habría tenido traumas y nunca hubiera abusado de Yui, y ellos dos NUNCA se hubieran conocido y hubieran acabado en una relación sumamente tóxica y que está mal. Me da bronca que NUNCA haya ido a la cárcel y que 19 años después de todo lo que hizo, formó una nueva familia. Asqueroso, deberías haberte podrido en la cárcel, quién sabe si seguirás haciendo lo mismo o no con tu hijo que es un nene.
Dejando de lado eso... El arte del manga y el como se narraron las cosas me encantó.

『 ★★★,5 』
[ cw//tw: pedophilia. grooming. definitely not for the faint-hearted. ⚠️ read at your own risk! ⚠️ ]
[heavy breathing] Oh my god.
Again with Harada-sensei, his/her manga really had a dark and really strong after-taste. Is it his/her signatures? Some mind blowing themes and contents? I've just read two of his/her works (including this title), so I don't know for sure.
Anyways,
I want to throw up after just reading the first chapter because how raw the plot is and how realistically scary it is. Is this what happened to some child victims of pedophilia? It's sad and worrying. The outside world was extremely dangerous. Depraved humans roaming everywhere. We need to protect childern more!
I hate how little punishment pedophiles received in this manga; both from a legal standpoint and from society. It's really sad but somehow, I know, this kind of story can really happend in real life. Grooming is real and that's really worrying me. I'm scared for your child safety, parents. You have to protect your children more!
Actually, this is not a bad read. The plot, storylines, and flow was great. But this kind of "scary" story really is not my things. So I advice you, if you don't really have a strong mentality: ⚠️ DO NOT READ THIS ⚠️
My brain somehow survived, but I kind of regret reading it.
Hope none of the children have this kind of terrible experience.
Now, excuse me.
I want to throw up again.

While reading this I actually thought "Killing Stalking who?". And I have a reason.
It was so fucking good.
I mean, if you read it you'll find a lot of difficult situations, and they'll got you shocked. Rape, pedophile, drugs, alcohol, sadomasochism...
I mean, what would it make the situation worse if it's not that?
The matter here is that, the mental disorders. One for the rapist-blonde-abusive-dude, and other for the child that suffered and still has the feeling of loving the one who raped him.
And the girl, that woman had my heart in the reading.
The end wasn't bad, it was good, considering there were two finals. The second one? Was perfect, it made you think deeper about the situation, about the decision he made for her whole life, and how he regrets.
Because dammit, the story goes on the childhood to adulthood. And it's tough.

En principio serían más bien 2'5★... pero no tengo ni idea de cómo darle una calificación a esto.
Cuando leí la sinopsis me esperaba una historia donde, no sé, los padres no aprobaran la relación que tiene su hijo con otro hombre. Y ya. Pero cuando empecé a leerlo me di cuenta de que el tema de este manga es mucho más duro y adulto de lo que pensaba, y de lo que había leído antes de la autora. Justo por eso no tengo muy claro a quién le recomendaría leerlo.
Además no es una historia que deje con buen sabor de boca, teniendo en cuenta la dureza del tema (y lo explícito que es). Tampoco me convence cómo se ha tratado... Me da la sensación de que todo queda demasiado en el aire, y no hay consecuencias tangibles de nada para nadie cuando este es un tema muy, muy serio, y estamos hablando de personajes que han pasado un trauma importante. Y aun así el manga termina muy... bonito.

April 27, 2018Uffff, mirad, este es de esos mangas a los que no sé que nota poner, Harada Sensei me ha dejado muy confusa. Por la temática, evidentemente es un cero patatero, por como lo ha llevado la mangaka, es un 5.
Y es que no me aclaro ni yo con todas la emociones que me ha provocado la historia de Yui y su Nii-chan, desde el asco infinito a la compasión. Agradezco que a pesar de dulcificar ciertas cosas, dé un final relativamente realista, lo veo más un HFN que otra cosa porque les queda un largo camino por delante para sanar lo que sea que tiene entre manos y la mierda de vida que les ha tocado llevar.

La prossima volta che la mia migliore amica mi dice "Devi leggerlo assolutamente, Anna, Harada è una garanzia" e poi quando esprimo le mie preoccupazioni data l'evidente pedofilia che c'è da pagina 2, mi dice "E' il tuo battesimo di fuoco Anna, dopo questo puoi leggere di tutto" forse non la ascolterò, sì.
Una nota positiva: Mai è uguale a Tori Spring (di Heartstopper, scusami tanto per questo paragone Alice Oseman), c'è pure una tavola di lei che osserva i due protagonisti e beve dal bicchiere in carta con la cannuccia.

What a sobering read.
July 24, 2019
Trigger warning for pedophilia, grooming, child abuse, psychological abuse, blackmail, dependency, substance abuse, rape, "corrective therapy", and possibly more. This manga depicts a cycle of unhealthy relationships
I was randomly going through some yaoi titles and I thought the cover for this one looked cool. I wasn't really sure what to expect but when I saw who the author was (and the other titles they did), I knew I was going to be in for something dark. Harada depicts a cycle of unhealthy relationships starting with pedophilia, followed with guilt and regret over losing someone believed to be "kind". I actually really enjoyed that twist towards the end (which I don't want to spoil), since it really changes how you feel about some of the characters. Still, I can't see a happy ending for any of our characters, which is very tragic. It's like they realize that what they're doing isn't right, that their relationship isn't "normal", but they can't get out of this cycle of abuse
If you're curious about the twist

I libri raccontano delle storie, e proprio come la vita, non sempre esistono storie belle o storie con una fine. Tutto ha un inizio e non sempre si ha una conclusione, o qualcosa che ci dia la parvenza di chiuso. Anzi probabilmente nella realtà sono più le cose che rimangono aperte, sospese senza una vera o apparente completezza. E Nii-chan è questo. Una storia raccontata per quello che è, senza alcun filtro se non quello degli occhi del lettore.
Non ha senso mettere una recensione negativa guidati dal nostro moralismo. La violenza, la pedofila sono cose che esistono e non spariranno se chiudiamo gli occhi. Alla stessa maniera non è giusto demonizzare qualcosa che ha la sola colpa di ricordarvi che lì fuori il mondo è crudele.
Insomma essere oggettivi non va farà male e se per caso lo avete pensato, no non c'è nessuna romanticizzazione, nessuna giustificazione ci sono solo persone che cercano di andare avanti, con quello che hanno. Un equilibrio tra ciò che avrebbero potuto diventare, ciò che gli avvenimenti hanno plasmato e la società.
Ma alla fine è solo l'illusione per andare avanti, e il loro modo "unico" per spezzare la catena della violenza
Sicuramente è una storia particolare, con una narrazione al di fuori dai canoni del genere.

4☆ Review:
For anyone interested in reading this, or any of Harada’s work, please check the CW’s. I love their work, but it is twisted.
This isn’t the first time I’ve read this and likely won’t be the last.
(POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD. I kept everything vague, but just in case 🙏🏻)
Every character in this has their own issues.
This isn’t a story about romance.
I think this showed a different view of how someone can react to being groomed/raped as a child. It’s dark, but it doesn’t shy away from the taboo of it.
This story is one that sheds a light on what can and has happened outside of fiction.
It showed how a child is affected by their parents/guardians response to the trauma. Yui’s parents were more concerned with how others would view the situation than they were with Yui. Kei’s parents were irrational in their attempts at turning him “normal.”
All in all, this is an unfortunate story with an ending that will leave you upset. There are no consequences for the wrongs made. There is simply two men who aren’t understood by anyone other than each other so they find solace in their “relationship.”

This story means so much to me. When I first read this years ago, I had to process it for days because of how much it resonated with me. I was nearly sick, I nearly vomited. But I can't help but feel elated. I don't think many authors who have tried to touch such a complex topic had really conveyed and portrayed the reality of being a victim of grooming and pedophilia, and other aspects related to it such as the abuse and the emotional torment that comes with it. There's so much about it that is often overlooked than not. And it's devastating and very destructive. And this manga is really close to reality. It's emotionally compelling and really complex with the way it showed its premises.
I really love Harada-sensei's works. They mean so much to me. I feel understood.

Lo he leído por pura curiosidad y conociendo la fama de Harada ya sabía a lo que iba y oh boy. No creo que el final sea algo ilógico o irreal porque sigue la lógica de los personajes y cómo han reaccionado a sus traumas, y tampoco creo que una historia nos deba "justicia" como lectores o explicarnos las cosas machacadas. No es un final feliz y quien lo lee lo sabe: no hay justicia, consecuencias, sanación, ninguno de los secundarios ofrece una ayuda correcta y somos conscientes de que de esa relación no puede salir nada bueno.
Me sobra tooodo lo explícito, y de hecho creo que le resta muchos puntos.

2.5/ Después de leer algo tan dulce y lindo, paso a esta historia que me deja muy intrigada.
Hay muchas advertencias para esta historia. Es de esas historias donde nadie es típicamente bueno o malo, o tiene buena salud mental…Pero no hubo algún castigo, creo que debió haber algo por ahí, incluso si ambos querían estar juntos, no había forma de que sea una relación sana, porque el último panel dice mucho de cómo vivirán de ahora en más y se continúa con el patrón de mantener todo en secreto. Es una historia dura, difícil de calificar objetivamente

In un mondo in cui, quando si narra l'abuso, spesso si tende a nascondersi dietro la carta velina del giudizio morale, desessualizzando l'atto per ripulire il contesto e ridurre l'azione al minimo termine comprensibile dell'orrore che suscita in un contesto reale, un'autrice come Harada, che invece rifiuta di ripulire, di rifinire, di nascondersi, di ridurre, e sceglie di raccontare l'abuso nella sua totalità, sceglie di raccontare lo sbagliato anche nelle crepe attraverso le quali scivola il sesso, è solo da apprezzare.

Honestamente no se que escribir.
Yo lo siento, pero es demasiado bizarro y da mucho miedo. Lo que me gusto fue el arte, tiene un precioso dibujo.
Que puedo decir del final, lo odie, como puede ser posible que hubo un abuso a menores Y no hubo consecuencias y con un final feliz entre comillas para los protagonistas.
TODOS LOS PERSONAJES NORMALIZARON los abusos, las violaciones y el maltrato.
Por favor checa las advertencias antes de leer esta historia.

Joder, esto sí es literatura *emoji del cigarro*
Es jodidamente difícil de leer y eso me encantó. Me costaba leer cómo los abusos de adultos a menores podían normalizarse tanto, creo que lo duro de leerlo es que casi no hay diálogos o situaciones que te digan que está mal (creo que incluso se empatiza de más, idk). Es como si la autora simplemente dijera "voy a escribir algo terrible, y no te voy a dar una moraleja de porqué está mal". Y bueno, ahora amo a esta señora autora.
