If i had to pick a manga to represent all the worst BL has to offer, this would be it. Abusive and controlling seme, useless and weak uke, power imbalances, rape, violence, coercion, Stockholm syndrome, queer stereotyping etc. It's a compendium of all the worst tropes

When will this be finished actually

 

[CheerTheDead]

It’s end. One of the classical yaoi of modern age. :’( i feel so sentimental.

Edit: it hasn’t ended :3

 

[ailuj]

tbh if all the sexual violence wasn't glorified, it'd make a good horror or angst plot. but instead we've got... this. ayase deserves betterrrr

 

[Acornk]

I can't believe I'd see this again. I first saw this as an anime a few years ago
Yes, this manga has an anime adaption

ilk defa bir yorum yazma gereği duydum çünkü gerçekten bu mangayı okumayı düşünenlere kesinlikle ama kesinlikle okumamalarını söylemek istiyorum. önceki yorumlarda yazdığı gibi tecavüz, taciz, kaba saba bir seme, oradan buraya savrulan bir uke, transeksüellere hatta homoseksüellere bile ayrımcılık içeren diyaloglar, şiddet yani kısacası iğrenç olarak adlandırabilecek ne varsa bu mangada yer alıyor ki bunları daha manganın başlangıcından bile anlayabilirsiniz, demem o ki kıymetli vaktinizi böylesine hastalıklı bir mangaya ayırmayın efendim. umarım japonların ve manga dünyasının bu tür şeyleri ilginç ve fantezi kurulabilir hatta okunabilir ve talepkar bulması en kısa sürede sona erer ve ne kadar iğrenç şeyleri böyle sınıflandırdıklarını görürler, böylece bu tür senaryolar okuyucular tarafından talep edilmez ve bu tür şeyleri meşrulaştırmayı keserler.

bir manga bu kadar rahatsız edici olamazdı bir sırp filmini mangalaştırsaydınız

 

[Virtt]

The uke is too much of a pathetic goof that even I can't relate

...Kanno is nice though. I like him.

 

[st.angel4]

A very bad one, honestly. It was cringe back then, is cringe nowadays.

At first I thought it was able to be enjoyed for this aspect, that its the worst. So for a while I read and could laugh at how insane the characters are, appreciating them at face value for their dark absurdity. These kind of BL tropes are something I've always been aware of, and are a major reason I never read BL before. So that's why this manga interested me, thinking "I never read this kind of stuff. Maybe I can enjoy it as if I were someone else."

It took about 52 chapters but they broke me and I finally got worn down into seeing just how shallow and thoughtless it could really feel. It felt like a green poison seeping into my brain. Got to a point I was going to bed and the manga felt like something I couldn't wash off of my brain or flush out of my bloodstream. At first at least it was not taking itself so seriously, but it's like the author began to think they have something going for them and said "Wait... What if I try to do something nuanced here? Seriously!" So repetitive, and so sticky. The kind of disgust which is disgusting is more bearable to me, but the author constantly excusing it to be sweet like a delusional fantasy is so suffocating and infectious. Like dragging you down into a dark hole. At least, you see an author's delusional fantasy and intention all the time in media so badly written BL is just another drop in the lake. Maybe I could appreciate every rotten recess of art because of this. Poorly written BL tropes are another face in the end. Every face says something, even if it's nothing..

Pretty sure it was another rape scene, and a couple lines of dialogue finally cracked my shell and put me in such a bad mood I finally put the manga down.
