I am so torn about this! I absolutely loved about 98% of this, but the 2% I didn't like are very hard to swallow for me. Because while the first time the two protagonists have sex *may* have started out as dub-con (which is debatable) it definitely turns into non-con and to say that that makes me uncomfortable would be an understatement, especially because I think the story would have been better if he had actually stopped when he was told to stop.

The sad thing is, however, that this sort of thing isn't unusual for this genre, and I admit that I have come to - accept isn't the right word, because that implies that I approve of it which I really don't, but it's how it is and either I stop reading that sort of thing or I don't. And the truth is, the things I like about this genre in general and this series in particular at this point are more than the things I don't like, so I'm going to keep reading this. I do wish there was more consensual sex happening, though. (I really am conflicted about this, however.)

He vist els dos OVA que hi ha d'aquesta sèrie i que cobreixen just el primer volum del manga ♥ Bastant xungo el tema del consentiment, però suposo que hi haurà una evolució del personatge del senpai en què superarà la seva homofòbia interioritzada i aprendrà a acceptar els seus sentiments cap al Morinaga... De totes maneres, és un inici heavy i impactant que m'ha recordat força a [b:Don't Be Cruel: 2-in-1 Edition, Vol. 1: 2-in-1 Edition|27406706|Don't Be Cruel 2-in-1 Edition, Vol. 1 2-in-1 Edition|Yonezou Nekota|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1457907609l/27406706._SX50_.jpg|47454214], per això tinc l'esperança que la cosa millori :3

La única weá que quería hacer mientras leía esto era cortarle el pico a Morinaga

This was really great! At first I thought "How can this love story work?" Now I'm wanting it to work soooo badly! I love the characters. It reminds me of Junjo Romantica in the sense that they're young adults living in Japan that ultimately fall in love with each other. The school setting makes me think this too. It was great! Can't wait to read volume 2!

Gott, dass war wieder einer dieser Manga wo ich nur laut „Warum?“ schreien möchte. Warum zeichnet man solche Vergewaltigungsszenen um Leute zu unterhalten? Also mich stößt das einfach nur ab. Der Manga hat wirklich sehr gute Bewertungen und ich kann das nicht verstehen. Der Zeichenstil ist ganz gut, der Text und die Gesichter ziemlich groß, was das lesen angenehm macht. Der Humor ist leider auch nicht meins, da hier auch wieder Gewalt als Humormittel genutzt wird, was für mich das zweite No-Go, neben diese ätzenden so typischen Vergewaltigungsszenen, in Mangas ist. Streckenweise waren die Zeichnungen auch etwas chaotisch, vor allem die erotischen Szenen. Der Manga ist P16, aber ich würde ihn persönlich höher einordnen.

Ich bin gespalten. Es gibt definitiv Aspekte, die mir an dem Manga gefallen und ich finde Tropes wie "jemanden zu seinem sexuellen Glück zwingen" durchaus reizvoll. In diesem Manga ist es aber doch etwas rape-y... im Endeffekt ist es ein netter One Shot, warum es hier noch 10 weitere Bände gibt (nicht abgeschlossen!) ist mir schleierhaft.
P.S.: Habs in Print, wenns jemand lesen will.

One of the best Yaoi (BoyXboy) mangas i have read, it follows the story about Souichi Tatsumi, the doctorate student in the agricultural science department at a university in Nagoya. After almost beeing raped by a Gay professor, he becomes extremely homophobic. But his hate for Gay people get's put on a test when he's research assistant Morinaga Tetsuhiro Falls in love with him and try's everything to make Tatsumi fall in love with him.

I read scans of this years and years ago. I didn’t remember it being so...rapey. But that’s quite common in BL manga. I do love these characters so I think I’ll see where this goes.
