You hate to see a good story start handling serious themes questionably. This volume is a lot darker than the first, and I wasn’t a fan of Shii’s behaviour towards Tamaki for most of it. Some of his actions could be blamed on his young age, but regardless, i can’t really see a healthy romance emerging from this series anymore. Get Tamaki and Shii some therapists, they’re fr too young to be dealing with this alone.

SO IT TURNED OUT MY FIRST INSTINCT WAS RIGHT! Someone really is caged, and it's Tamaki. I really hate her creepy mother 😭 And it turns out he's not a mamma's boy at all. He's just afraid of his mother that's why he's always complying with her mother's demands. There's volume 3, right?! IT CAN'T END LIKE THIS. I NEED ANSWERS, YA HEAR ME?!

Btw, I love the fence hole metaphor so much (I still call it rabbit hole, same symbolism 😉)

I didn't like it as much as the first one, but I still think it's an amazing series.
This volume shows a darker side of the story I didn't expect, but I found it quite interesting.

Se nel primo volume c’era tanta carne al fuoco, alla tana del bianconiglio ci eravamo solo avvicinati, con questo secondo volume ci siamo entrati definitivamente e siamo caduti in un cunicolo bello profondo.
Nel primo volume c’erano state delle allusioni riguardo la madre di Tamaki, ora quelle allusioni prendono forma, ed è una situazione bella pesante. Tamaki teme sua madre, persona di discutibili costumi, soprattutto sessuali, che sembra aver messo gli occhi sul figlio. Questo spiega perfettamente il rifiuto totale di Tamaki in merito al sesso. Shunta, ornai definitivamente innamorato di lui, cerca in modo sbagliato di avvicinarlo, venendo rifiutato, salvo poi scoprire la realtà.
Questo secondo volume spinge quindi su argomenti difficili come l’incesto e la sopraffazione senza addolcire la pillola, dando una spinta alla storia che si dimostra ben più seria di quanto non succeda solitamente nei BL.
Ora attendo il terzo volume per scoprire gli sviluppi di questa “brutta storia”, a mio avviso al momento molto ben raccontata.

Dieser Band war schwierig...sehr Shuns Verhalten fand ich in keinster Weise nachvollziehbar und komplett daneben. Er war mir viel zu aufdringlich und hat Tamaki seine Meinung förmlich aufgezwängt. Tamaki scheint ein Traumata zu haben und Shun scheint das ganze nicht zu kapieren. Dabei sollen sie Kindheitsfreunde sein? Ich weiß nicht, der Band konnte mich überhaupt nicht überzeugen. Keine Ahnung, ob ich die Reihe noch fortsetzen wil.

i got a glimpse of hope. hope of shii getting more mature and understanding. hopes of him giving tamaki his space to "heal" or at least have a moment where he is not surrounded by the idea of sex.
and then.. shii !!!!!!!

~*See below for review in English*~

Hmmm... ich tue mich ein wenig schwer mit dieser Geschichte. Einerseits hat sie Aspekte, die mir gut gefallen, aber dann überwiegen wiederum Dinge, die ich unangenehm finde.

Interessant fand ich, dass Asexualität hier angesprochen bzw. in Betracht gezogen wird, weil Tamaki scheinbar kein Interesse an Sex zu haben scheint bzw. eine Abneigung gegen Sex hat.
Schlimm fand ich, dass sich Shunta Tamaki immer wieder ungewollt aufgedrängt hat. Zwischenzeitlich sah es so aus, als könnte Shunta vernünftig werden, denn er hat sich wirklich Gedanken gemacht und möchte Tamakis Grenzen respektieren, dies war aber nur von kurzer Dauer. Daher bin ich hier sehr skeptisch was ihre Beziehung angeht und warte mal ab, wie die Situation weiterhin gehandhabt werden wird.

Dennoch: Ich möchte gerne wissen, wie es weitergeht, gerade in Bezug auf Tamakis Kindheitstrauma. Ich hoffe, dass hier eine gute/plausible Lösung gefunden wird.

Inhaltswarnung (ggf. unvollständig)

Hmmm... I have a bit of a hard time with this story. On the one hand, it has aspects that I like, but on the other hand, there are things that I find uncomfortable.

I found it interesting that asexuality is mentioned or considered here because Tamaki seems to have no interest in sex or has an aversion to it.
I found it difficult to read that Shunta forced himself on Tamaki again and again without his consent. At one point it looked as if Shunta might become more sensible because he really thought about it and wants to respect Tamaki's boundaries, but this was short-lived. Therefore, I am very skeptical about their relationship. I'll wait and see how the situation will be handled.

Nevertheless, I would like to know what happens next, especially in regard to Tamaki's childhood trauma. I hope that a good/plausible solution will be found here.

Oof. Tamaki's secret gets revealed to Shunta this volume and I'm not loving the way he handled it? Shunta is pretty selfish and mostly thinks with his dick, but he thinks he's helping..

The boys have also started dating for a year (reluctantly on Tamaki's part) due to a bet. Everything's a little weird, but I like the drama. I'm still not sure if I want to root for Shunta and Tamaki. Actually another character was introduced that Shunta had somewhat of a thing with and I would prefer a relationship with them vs Shunta continuing to obsess over Tamaki. Even if the other guy is much older than Shunta.

Tamaki needs major therapy because wow his mom is fucked. Poor kid. I like that Shunta is trying to help, but the whole thing about Tamaki's issues with sex is handled so weirdly. They do mention asexuality, which is kind of where I was thinking it might go, then that makes their relationship even more complicated. I feel like some of the conversation about asexuality was a bit messy too. Realistically Tamaki's issues with sex is trauma, because he probably has suppressed sexual desires that he's rejected due to the things with his mom and her boyfriends. He's starting to show them a bit more because of Shunta's pushiness which I don't know how to feel about. Shunta does some things towards Tamaki that make me cringe.

This series is pretty thought provoking. The art is really pretty too which is always a plus. There's a lot of dimension to both the characters and their situations. I like that it's so slow even if I am impatient and just want to know how it plays out already. It's a series I could end up really loving, but that all depends on the ending. Right now I'm unsure. I look forward to reading more and seeing what direction this will go.

Me gustaría que el protagonista dejara de ser tan manipulador fingiendo que está dejando que el otro decida cuando no es así xD
Le bajo la calificación porque me desespera la manera en qué se están cada vez tratando peor los temas complejos (aunque en algunos momentos parece que esto mejora siempre lo vuelven a arruinar con algo). Espero que todo lo que tiene que ver con la madre se resuelva lo mejor posible.

Really good at introducing and fleshing out certain psychological aspects and especially that this is in these teenage boys' point of view.

I'm glad Tamaki opened up about it with Shunta because I feel like he never had someone like that. Although, Shunta's lusty behavior is getting to my head because obviously, you shouldn't force such things to someone with issues. But he's spoiled and persistent, hence his character. Let's see where this is going.

Un sequel molto bello e sentimentale, i protagonisti si stanno scoprendo di più nei loro lati amorosi e mi sto affezionando alle loro storie...peccato che il finale è sospeso e non sembra mai essere stato pubblicato un sequel...
Io ci spero con tutto il cuore perché per me uscirebbe davvero una appassionante serie BL.
Spero di poter leggere prima o poi un terzo volume.

La situazione di Tamaki è ben più grave di quello che il primo volume faceva presagire, sinceramente a un certo punto mi è venuto un groppo in gola. Sono convinta che Shunta diventerà la salvezza per Tamaki, la sua luce dentro la foresta buia, anche se non lo ha ancora realizzato del tutto. Il fatto stesso che Tamaki si aggrappi all'amico, seppur con riluttanza, ne è la prova.
La narrazione di ENJO fino ad ora è ineccepibile, e vorrei davvero sapere come ha intenzione di proseguire, se e come Tamaki riuscirà a superare i suoi traumi, come entrambi riusciranno davvero ad avvicinarsi l'uno all'altro. Purtroppo ad oggi, 08/01/2023, in Giappone non è ancora uscito il terzo volume della serie. Sarà da armarsi di pazienza perché chissà quanto ci sarà da aspettare per sapere come continuerà la storia.

Der Titel und die wirklich schön gestalteten Cover haben mich auf diese Reihe aufmerksam gemacht. Im ersten Moment erlebt man und geht davon aus, dass es hier – wie in vielen BL-Reihen – darum geht, dass zwei Oberschüler Gefühle füreinander entwickeln und so ihre Sexualität (neu) entdecken. Aber ganz so einfach ist das nicht.

Shunta ist in Takumi bereits seit Kindertagen verliebt und seine Verliebtheit ist zwischenzeitlich schon so etwas wie eine Besessenheit geworden, die er regelrecht gezwungen ist, auszuleben. Dennoch hat er starke Gefühle für Takumi, die man deutlich sieht. Er sorgt sich um diesen, möchte diesen aber nicht mehr nur als Freund haben.

In diesem zweiten Band lernt man etwas über Takumi und seine familiären Verhältnisse. Die wirkten bereits in Band 1 schon sehr befremdlich und verstörend. Dass er dadurch traumatisiert ist und keine normalen zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen aufbauen kann, ist mir bewusst. Und jeder, der traumatisiert wurde, hat mit gewissen Situationen, die an das Trauma erinnern, Probleme. Doch nicht einmal in der familiären Wohnung kann er sich sicher fühlen und das ist wirklich krass. Niemand sieht das Leid oder die Veränderung, die er durchlebt hat. Nicht einmal sein bester Freund Shunta.

Es gibt ein paar offensichtliche Andeutungen, die auch die Beziehung von Takumi und seiner Mutter deutlich in Frage stellen und einem den Magen umdrehen. Ich mag Takumi und er tut mir schon leid. Shunta ist mir zu aggressiv in seinem Verhalten und drängt Takumi ständig dazu, irgendwelchen Sachen zuzustimmen.

Shunta ist mir als Charakter mittlerweile zu egoistisch und leider auch zu kindisch. Es gibt Szenen, die humorvoll sein sollen, die mich aber persönlich abstoßen, weil sie einfach nicht meinem Humor entsprechen. Sie sind eher widerlich und wenn Jugendliche derartige Sachen heutzutage amüsant finden, geht unsere Welt wohl wirklich den Bach runter…

Der Zeichenstil des/der Künstlers/in ist wirklich sehr schön und ich mag ihn unheimlich gerne. Leider finde ich, dass die Umsetzung etwas misslungen ist. Ich hätte mir gerne hier in Shunta eine reifere Persönlichkeit gewünscht, passend zu der ernsten Thematik und nicht jemanden, der derart hohlen Humor versucht zu verbreiten. So schön wie die Zeichnungen sind, irritiert die Umsetzung an einigen Punkten doch schon sehr. Insbesondere die Rückblenden, die man als solche nicht im ersten Moment wahrnimmt. Sie verwirren und bringen ein chronologisches Chaos in die Reihe, das man hätte vermeiden können. Dafür gibt es definitiv Punktabzug.

Ich bin etwas zwiegespalten, ob ich die Reihe fortsetzen werde oder nicht. Aber ich werde definitiv in Band 3 einen Blick hineinwerfen und mich danach entscheiden. Denn ich bin schon gespannt, wie sich Takumi entwickeln wird. Bei Shunta scheint mir eh schon Hopfen und Malz verloren…

El primer tomo me dejó con ganas de saber qué estrategias iba a seguir Shunta para cruzar la fina línea de la amistad.

Debo decir que no estoy encantada con la impulsividad de Shunta, ni con sus intentos de acelerar las cosas con Tamaki. No voy a caer en la excusa de que "como son adolescentes, actúan sin pensar". No, hay maneras y maneras. Shunta no sobrepasa límites, pero sí le gusta aprovechar oportunidades.

Tamaki es bastante permisivo, pero acaba hartándose y esto es cómo una bofetada para Shunta. Agradezco que Tamaki sea un personaje bonachón, pero hasta cierto punto. Esto nos da un espectro más amplio sobre su personalidad y sobre qué actitudes de Shunta le sacan de quicio.

De forma global, me ha gustado el tomo. A la hora de dirigir el desarrollo de la trama, Tamaki ha marcado el ritmo y nos ha mostrado su otra cara, y los pensamientos subyacentes que dictaminan cómo se enfrenta al mundo y a sí mismo.

El primer tomo era la punta del iceberg, mientras que este ha sido cómo hundir la cabeza en el agua y vislumbrar todo el hielo que hay debajo. El fondo está oscuro y Tamaki se esmera en que mantengas la mirada en el cielo mientras te muestra una sonrisa falsa. Sin embargo, no es el único que intenta mantener la atención en otro punto, porque las emociones de Shunta se están desbordando y no sabe qué hacer con ellas.

Esto le lleva a tomar decisiones que, lejos de aliviarle, le hacen sentir más culpable e incomprendido.

"Me odiaba a mí mismo por sentir todo eso. Y, mientras lidiaba con mis pensamientos, Tamaki siguió avanzando sin mí."

Me gusta lo bien que se distingue cada personaje y cómo el mangaka se ha desvirtualizado de ellos. En algunos mangas Boy's Love se puede palpar la influencia del autor por cómo se comportan o hablan. A mi este detalle me saca de la historia, es cómo si apareciese un desconocido en medio de una conversación.

En resumen, voy a seguir leyendo a la espera de que se destape todo el pastel. Creo que ambos pueden aprender mucho el uno del otro, sobre todo Shunta, que tiene que mantener la cabeza más fría y controlar sus impulsos.

I probably shouldn't have started reading this manga because I have no idea how long I'll have to wait to find out how it ends.

Honestly, reading this is pretty exhausting because everything moves so slowly that I can't tell if the story is actually progressing at all.

Is this a bad manga? No. It has an interesting storyline with a character who has a dark past from childhood. But, I don't know! The pace is so slow that I have no idea where the author is taking the story.

At the very least, if I continue reading, I hope the author introduces a psychologist to help Tamaki with his issues. Seriously, he needs professional help.

3,25/5⭐


Ho recuperato questo secondo volume dopo un' eternità, e difatti quando l' ho aperto non ricordavo assolutamente niente.
Mi sono dovuta leggere la recensione del primo per cercare di capire qualcosa.

Devo dire che mi ha catturata tra le sue pagine, la storia, ma soprattutto le emozioni dei due protagonisti. Mi hanno reso consapevole del vuoto che aleggiava nei loro sguardi, o nei loro gesti.

Ciò che ho trovato meno logica è stata la fine. Non penso che le ultime pagine siano state in grado di dare valore alla loro storia.

No apruebo una wea las libertades que se toma sin consentimiento el Shii este. Vale que al final es lo que le gusta al Tamaki o yo qué sé (no entendí muy bien, tbh), pero tío, no se pueden romantizar este tipo de cosas.
Me gusta que se trate el tema de la inhibición por traumas o por voluntad propia, muy sex education coded.
No sé qué puntuación ponerle, porque no me desagradó del todo, pero muchas cosas no están bien.
No creo que me lea más tomos, me dan un poco igual

I noticed the hidden layers but never expected this dark twist. I was starting to get annoyed with how lukewarm and cold Tamaki was constantly being but he had his reasons and this volume answers those questions to some degree. A happy ending is still up in the air but it's heartwarming to see how the main couple deal with the trauma in his past and present. Even if they don't end up together, I can see the plotline working towards his healing which still makes for an interesting story.

Einfach nein. Wieso ist es in Mangas so normal ein „Nein“ einfach zu übergehen? Und wie kann sowas so viele guter Bewertungen haben? Ich kann Shintus Handlungen nicht nachvollziehen oder entschuldigen. Was Tamaki passiert ist, ist einfach nur schrecklich und hätte Aufarbeitung gebraucht. Darum einfach nein zu diesem Manga.

Girl, I know there’s a psychological tag. The story is supposed to be fucked up. That explains Tamaki’s sexual trauma arc because of his mom. But it’s the constant non-con that ruins the main ship for me. Tamaki needs therapy, not his best friend sexually assaulting him.
Plus—why is every adult in this mange trying to groom minors? This is exhausting

Probabilmente non l'avrei comprato se non l'avessi preso insieme al primo volume, dato che già il primo non mi aveva fatto una buona impressione. Alla fine sono arrivata a detestare il protagonista e il suo egoismo.
