Let me just say straight off the bat: with the exception of the older couple, everyone here makes really stupid decisions.First, Shouta and Hiroto, aka crossdresser and secret max uke. They’ve started going out, but Shouta, having never had a relationship beyond “sex friend”, is unsure of whether he and Hiroto are actually “dating”. He’s informed by one of Hiroto’s friends that he, Shouta, is Hiroto’s longest relationship to date.Shouta’s insecure about his ability to keep Hiroto, or Hiroto’s interest, for long. He thinks that the only thing he has on offer is sex, plus Hiroto was “originally straight”. (I’m squinting here.) He begins to experiment sexually with Hiroto, like using toys, cosplay, blabla.He’s thinking of things to do when he’s approached by a dude on a street selling an ~aphrodisiac/sex drug. After he beats the guy up, he buys a set. He brings it to Hiroto, who’s like, 「なんかさあ・・・最近お前変なプレイばっかするよな」 and asks if there’s anything wrong.Shouta brushes it off, and Hiroto’s like, well, I guess if you want to use it, we can use it.It works out. Afterwards, when the same guy approaches Shouta, he buys another bottle of some unknown stuff labelled “Rush”. This time though, when Shouta offers it to Hiroto to sniff, Hiroto has a seizure (?) and passes out. Hiroto wakes up to Shouta sobbing over him and apologizing. Hiroto finally gets Shouta to tell him what Shouta’s worries/fears have been, gets the chance (FINALLY) to assuage/allay them, and all is good.Next time the drug dealer offers Shouta more drugs, Shouta turns him down. Don’t do drugs, kids. Shouta learned this late.●Next we have Hajime and Masaki, aka girly underwear guy and the perv who loves him. Things are going well until an old friend of Hajime’s shows up, asking for money. Now, this old friend appears to have been a good perso nat some point before, but is now running drugs for a yakuza group. Yes – it’s the drug dealer from Shouta and Hiroto’s story. Hajime doesn’t want to give him money, but the guy tries to threaten him and stuff.Masaki intervenes before there’s any real violence, but Hajime refuses to talk to him about it. There’s some flashback to Hajime and Tooru’s (drug dealer’s) friendly days, and a ~peek into Tooru’s current situation. After, Tooru goes back to Hajime, and he has a long monologue about how he fell in with the yakuza (he took out a loan to pay for his mother’s hospital bills. Forgot to mention – he abducts Hajime) at this point, except, instead of driving away before launching into his monologue, he just stays there, and they scuffle in his skanky van, which begins to shake.People see the van, and Masaki once again intervenes to find Hajime and Tooru with Hajime tied up and bruised. Masaki tries to fight Tooru but their fight is broken up by the arrival of Yoshio, the bar’s Mama-san, who drags Tooru away and just tells them (Hajime and Maskai) to take care of each other. Hajime and Masaki make up and have wild sex.Afterwards, it’s revealed Yoshio’s criminal ~friend Tenma has bought out Tooru’s debt and Tooru si now working for Tenma’s group – a kinder! gentler! yakuza group.●The last story is re Yoshio and Tenma. It’s a brief story of Yoshio visiting the yakuza compound in his 兄貴 persona. He waits for Tenma to come home, and when Tenma arrives he says he wants to take a nap and falls asleep for four hours. When Yoshio tries to leave, Tenma wakes up too and then tells him he (Tenma) sleeps well/better when Yoshio is near. Then sexy times of course.thoughtsA weak sequel to the first book. Shouta and Hiroto’s story was furstrating. Really, your boyfriend seizes and passes out in front of you and you don’t call emergency services? What if he’d died – what would you have done then? What a stupid story.Don’t. Do. Drugs.Or rather, do drugs responsibly, i.e. stop fucking trying drugs you have no idea of the effects of. Come the fuck on, girl. And again: communication. Can’t we fucking talk first before we do unknown, untested, unproven drugs? You’d really rather put your boyfriend’s life on the line, instead of talk?Masaki and Hajime’s story was also frustrating. So many times Hajime had the opportunity to come clean but didn’t, very obviously for PLOT REASONS, like creating ~drama/tension.He kept saying he wouldn’t “let” Tooru harm anyone, but had no plans to stop him. And this on top of the fact that Hajime knows that Yoshio is abso-fucking-lutely well-connected to Tenma’s group. Jesus. The solution is so close. Kung ahas yan, na kagat ka na, punyeta.Tooru was also dumb af. What, you’re going to beat Hajime into giving you 3M JPY? If he doesn’t have the money, he doesn’t. The fucking end, dumbshit. Are you dipping into your own goods?Only the grampas were fun in this one.This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
