You can't end it there!!!!

This went from zero to fifty in no time flat. Seven's past begins to rear it's incredibly ugly head, and I could easily see it turning people off from the book - his brother Eight's may absolutely be a bridge too far. It makes sense in the context of what we at this point know about their past, but wow, it is not easy reading.
On the plus side, the book also has one of the absolute funniest aquarium date scenes I've ever read, so there's that.

This series could've been slice of life perfection without the yakuza plot, but the two main characters are simply too good to care about anything else. Actually, it's been a while since I've been rooting this hard for two characters. Aisuke's got a heart of gold under that rough appearence and Seven telling him he can start having expectations now he's with him was everything.

Ver cómo va avanzando su relación es una gozada. Tiene un toque diferente a otros BL y eso está muy bien, le da más personalidad.
La parte que atañe al pasado de Seven me cuesta un poco seguirla y esa escenita... Hay otras formas de vengarse de la gente menos desagradables. Miedo me da el tercer volúmen ahora que han descubierto dónde está Seven.

Ay, pero estos doos.... son tan adorables. Me encanta la relación que tienen (en especial que hablan bastante entre ellos, aunque aún les quedan algunos temas por mencionar...👀). Y que Seven lo ayudará así, GRACIAS. Estaba agonizando en esa escena esperando a que apareciera!

While I had some suspicions that ended up true regarding Seven's backstory, I was still surprised by how dark some of the content in this volume was. It's a heavy read at times.
But I still very much like our main couple. They're the epitome of dummies in love and their awkwardness feels so authentic.

OKAY—so, this is going that way... Prostitution, rape. Coughs!
Turns out, this is a psychological drama. I knew something was weird when the clan appeared in volume 1. I just didn't have an idea that it was that kind of clan. I thought Seven was a young master runaway haha! I don't think if this is for me so, I will put volume 3 on hold for now. But I adored their relationship so much and I love the art style.

Darker tones came into the story. It gave a roller-coaster ride feeling to the plot. Anything could happen Easy to keep reading as I wanted this tense relationship to work out. I guess Book 3 is mandatory. MC is staying innocent, which is nice.
3.5 (for the dark triggers - underage prostitution/drugs)

More like 3.5 stars. This was a back and forth of conflicting emotions. Either it was super adorable or it was uncomfortably horrifying.

Que divertido es este manga. Nunca falta ese capítulo super loco con el que te ríes más de lo normal. La trama de la yakuza cada vez se torna más cruda y peligrosa, a la vez que la relación entre los personajes avanza. Adoro a Akamatsu y seven. Es que son tan brutos y adorables. ¡Que ganas de leer el tercer y último tomo!

Loved it! So good. Took an extremely dark turn at the end though, but what else did i expect from yaoi 🤦♀️

Love! Sex! Human trafficking!
Whether it’s a cultural translation issue or just inelegant storytelling, in my illustrious manga reviewing career I’ve talked just oh so much about jarring narrative elements and dark tropes ending up in often fluffy genre of BL. I think of the sexual violence of Caste Heaven, the kidnapping and sexual violence of Fourth Generation Head, the closeted, murdered father and psychotic mother of Therapy Game… basically the entirety of The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese… the suicides, the homophobia, the abusive parents, the stalking, the “if you were with someone else I’ll kill myself” instances, the prostitution… BL writers go to some dark places in a genre that’s, at its root, supposed to be about two (or more) boys in love.
As a person who engages with and critiques the medium, my problem is never with these being included–I’m pretty sure I spent most of my Caste Heaven review talking about depictions of rape in manga. My problem, rather, is with them being included clumsily. Like any storytelling, if you’re going to go to dark places, it has to feel earned, otherwise it just ends up feeling ridiculous or absurd.
In volume 1 of Bad Boys, Happy Home, easily one of my favourite titles of the year, teenage bad boy with a heart of gold Aisuke meets Seven, a young man sleeping in a local park, and challenges him to a fight–it’s what Aisuke does to blow off steam, fighting random local thugs. When he realizes Seven is homeless and about to move on, he invites the mysterious young man to stay with him, at least temporarily, so they can continue fighting. But, of course, their relationship becomes more and more intimate as they learn to live together. We learn that Seven’s mysterious past involved shady business dealings.

Representation: gay Japanese protagonist, queer Filipino protagonist, Japanese secondary and tertiary characters.
Content Warning: violence, homophobia, parental death, drugs, death, human trafficking. prostitution, paedophilia, child prostitution, blood, organised crime, attempted rape, child abuse.
I imagined this second volume was going to be darker, but I did not realise how much. As the content warnig above lists, there are heavy and complex topics involved, very slightly softened by the comedic and romantic aspects, but still dealt with the right amount of seriousness (in my opinion).
I quickly become invested with this manga and its magnetic protagonists, so I look forward to the last book in this story!

God I love them so so so much.
Their relationship moved so much faster than I was expecting, but I loved it. It also got pretty dark towards the end. I mean it's not the worst or darkest thing I've ever read, but it shocked me a little bit. Especially Nana/Seven. I'm super nervous for the next volume, but so excited. I can't wait to read more of them.

La relation tendre des deux héros se poursuit bien que le passé de Seven est plus que jamais près de le/s rattraper.
Le safe-sex est évoqué, le consentement aussi mais de façon relativement maladroite dans la série je trouve.
Attention, une scène violente et extrêmement glauque au coeur de l'ouvrage, qui poursuit l'évocation de l'exploitation pédocriminelle d'Eight et Seven

Me gusta mucho como va evolucionando la relación de estos dos, el pasado de Seven es cada vez más turbio y su hermanito Eight menuda pieza, que el tipo ese se merecía lo peor, pero eso.. Que asco por favor.. Repugnante. Miedo me da lo que pueda pasar en el volumen 3

I really loved this second volume! We continue to follow our two brawling boys as they begin to live together. We learn more about Seven's past and his dark side, he's involved with a gang and seems to want out. I found their date at the aquarium to be quite sweet and love how realistic this story is. The boys seem like boys, which is refreshing. I highly recommend it if you can handle the content of this volume.

The ball is slowly dropping and I'm trying to brace myself because this feels like it's gonna be heavier than イベリコ豚. Which... considering they seem to have ties with yakuza like, what else did I expect?
Content warning for forced insect eating, attempted rape, and mentions of child sexual abuse in this volume.
It's wild how we go from a light-hearted date with Akamatsu and Seven in the aquarium, to whatever shit is happening with Eight. Which is of course what the creators intended: we're supposed to see the kind of world Seven escaped and is trying to leave behind vs the kind of life he's currently living with Akamatsu.
We know from what Seven has said in Vol1 that he's done sex work before, which is all very well and good until we realise he's about Akamatsu's age (17) and is honestly not old enough to have this kind of experience. And we see more of that from the flashbacks with Eight and the scene where he deals with a former client who specifically asked for him again (even though he's already 19). The fact this was all arranged by Eight's own dad just adds to the whole fucked-upness of everything.
I've already looked at some chapters from Vol3 so I have an idea what's gonna happen (like I'm glad I didn't start reading until I have all 3 volumes in my shelf), so I just wanted to say. Spoilers for uh, Seven's past.
In this volume, Eight gets back at the old man who used to rape him as a child. That was a really tense and scary scene, and I hope Eight's dad goes to jail.
Eight sees his old pal Seven having fun with Akamatsu and smiling so happily. Seven got away while he's still stuck with the old group, so Eight decided to have revenge. By this time he's become close to Akamatsu, so he invites Akamatsu over to look at his lizards (eek!) and then drugs Akamatsu's drink. Then follows the sort of random chaos I expect from SHOOWA. This part itself is another tense scene, but it also doesn't forget humour as we cut between Eight sending Seven a photo of half-naked Akamatsu to scenes of Seven putting up laundry to dry and accidentally letting Akamatsu's loud boxers fall from the balcony down the street where it gets mauled by someone's dog. Does it show us something bad is gonna happen to Akamatsu? Yes. Is it funny as hell? Yes and it calls back to the blissful days where all they had to worry is getting the futon dirty. A final moment of peace, if you will.
Seven arrives before Eight could really do anything. He threatens Eight and Eight's girlfriend (?) pretty hard. He brings Akamatsu back home. But by the time Akamatsu wakes up again, Seven has left the flat.
I really like the pacing and the chaotic energy this has. SHOOWA's really good at writing punks falling in love and how they interact with each other in general 😅 I hope this has a happy ending... like it should, right??

tw: violence, sexual assault
The romance is adorable but goddamnit why couldn't this story be just a cute romcom ??? Did it really need that whole murder/prostitution thing on the side ?

Encantado con casi todo lo que sucede en este segundo tomo. Aquí nuestro protagonistas se acercan el uno al otro ya sin secretos ni tapujos. La relación que tienen es muy sana y verlos haciendo planes juntos te deja el corazón calentito. Además creo que es el único BL que he leído que trata el tema de las ETS, y además lo hace bien, sin estigmatizar ni ridiculizar.
La única pega que le pongo es que la subtrama de Seven empieza a afectar a Akamatsu y se vuelve un poco desagradable. Pero bueno entiendo que hay que avanzar esa parte de la historia también para llegar al desenlace en el tercer tomo. Estoy deseando leerlo.
