That’s my second read this time because the first time I actually dropped the manga because of various reasons but idk I wanted to give it another chance so here we are:
Honestly I still have very mixed feelings about this one. You’ve got four people tangled up in each other’s lives, all of them lying to themselves in some way—about their wants, their fears, their capacity to be loved, or even to love back. It’s messy… Purposefully so. And while I used to feel repulsed when I first read it, that reaction’s softened a bit now. I can kind of get the chaos. The miscommunication, the emotional self-sabotage, it all makes more sense now. But still... something about it just doesn’t sit right with me.
That said, the sex scenes are genuinely hot. No complaints there. And Ayumu he’s so damn sexy it’s actually unreal. The way he’s drawn, his face, his body, that sharp, angular look …it screams old-school shonen vibes from the late '80s and early '90s and i loved that!! He’s absolutely gorgeous and probably the reason I stuck around even when I was side-eyeing the emotional mess.
In the end..it’s one of those stories where I can appreciate the intention and complexity, but emotionally, I still feel caught between discomfort and intrigue.
I didn't like this, but damn the art was really good.
Ayumu is a super serious college kid. He's all about the rules and hates when adults act childish. He works at a bar and one day an old friend of the manger shows up and Ayumu has a strange attraction for him. But this old friend's interactions with the manager make it seem like there was something more than friendship between them and Ayumu is desperate to know more.
This made me uncomfortable and not that the content was hard to read, but the way that it was written and the way they interacted gave me so much secondhand embarrassment it was hard to read. I really didn't like the flow of the writing. It felt so stilted and their interactions felt so unnatural. The romance was pretty rushed. This whole thing felt like too much at once and as a concept this could've been an interesting, thought provoking story with the topic of the affair being at play, but it was executed so poorly. I hated reading this.
I’m torn on the rating for this one, so I’m going with four instead of five. The title doesn’t fit with what I thought the story would be, so that was disappointing. The story itself is good and I like the art. The angst is painful but their is a happy ending. It’s short, though. I wanted to know what would happen after, but that was it. We aren’t given a time frame, either, for how long Ayumu was away.
Me encantó el dibujo, lástima que odié la historia. Personalmente pienso que ese seme pudo haber hecho sufrir un poco más a ese uke (por haber sido un HDP con él desde el principio).
No sé, siento que no me terminó de convencer el hecho de que lo haya perdonado tan rápido ya que yo en su lugar lo hubiera mandado bien alv, después de todo uno debe tener su orgullo jaja
Todo lo que hace Nishimoto Rou es una maravilla. Me encanta cómo es capaz de coger temas controvertidos, pero que están a la orden del día, y lo explica todo con el realismo, la sensibilidad y la brutalidad que merecen. En este caso tenemos un cuarteto amoroso, una historia de affairs amorosos. Ayumu trabaja en un bar y una noche de lluvia conoce a Bandou. El hombre lo deja prendado desde el principio, hasta tal punto que cuando ve que éste tiene algo con su jefe, no puede evitar ponerse duro. Porque Bandou le llama la atención, a pesar de ser un hombre y saber que eso está "mal". Decidido a volver a ver a ese hombre, Ayumu acepta hacerle de modelo. A partir de ahí la pasión de Ayumu se transforma en un amor sin límites por Bandou y el chico hará todo lo que esté en su mano para que este deje de verlo como un niño y que lo elija para hacerlo feliz.
Einfach nur: Was zum...? Ich hab mir, durch den Klappentext, was ganz anderes von der Story vorgestellt. In vielen Szenen ist kein Konsens vorhanden, und das ist nur eine der problematischeren Dinge... Und irgendwie hintergeht auch jede der insgesamt 4 Personen, die unterschiedlich viele Berührungspunkte miteinander haben, einander. Hatte nicht wirklich Spaß beim lesen, konnte mit den Charakteren nicht mitfühlen und es war eher ein dauerhaftes "wtf is going on?". Achso, und es wird nach einer gemeinsamen Nacht "ich liebe dich" gesagt ?! delulu, aber joa, müsst ihr wissen...

I'm very unsure about this. I liked the depiction of the inner turmoil of Bandou, you could see and understand how torn he was between his feelings for Sato and his long-lasting love for his friend (Sato's boss) but I had a hard time with how they all handled the whole situation and treated each other sometimes.
Me gustó el final, pero aún así como que quedó en a continuación 🤔🤔🤔 bueno en fin..., me gustó mucho la drama pero aún así me frustraba por las decisiones que tomaba el uke 😤, mi niño es tan tierno y se merece algo mucho mejor que el uke 😔
