This manga is like that trolley meme of it drifting onto both lanesIdk how I'm supposed to feel when I'm reading this manga lmao
Nah, it's too vanilla for the two. For now.While this goes for a pervy wholesome vibe, it's becoming more and more insane to me that he hasn't tried to smash.
After seeing so much dysfunctional bdsm (especially femdom for some reason) I'm just amazed at how much I resonate with this manga in pretty much every chapter. Everything feels just perfect, the exact way I would have it, even down to the fact that he wants this to be completely private between them. And the strong affection mixed into the kinky stuff.Such a good dom. It's his job to keep her in check.
I love these two goofball perverts.
That's because they are sharing something very very intimate and showing their "twisted" selves to each other, knowing that they are loved for that. This makes their bond and love much stronger than a "normal" relationship in a "normal" romance manga.After seeing so much dysfunctional bdsm (especially femdom for some reason) I'm just amazed at how much I resonate with this manga in pretty much every chapter.

The way that their intimacy is portrayed (which is rare even for vanilla romance manga) and just the fact that the kink is so evenly matched with their (especially his) reassurance of each other. Their dynamic never feels unbalanced. There is no sick blackmail or ignoring of consent. Just love expressed through a kink. Expressed in a better way than most vanilla romances. Crazy.
I generally agree, but the "bdsm" "romances" that I've seen havent been overt erotica. They seem to market themselves as romances, but they tend to almost always have some kind of blackmail or lack of consent. Never an equal dynamic. Most have been femdom (and a few maledom), and most have been shoujo/jousei. The only one that has been similar to this one was Nana to Kaoru. I feel like unless the dominant partner is very conscientious and grounded as a person, the story ends up feeling abusive.That's because they are sharing something very very intimate and showing their "twisted" selves to each other, knowing that they are loved for that.

Compared to the usual erotica with bdsm that focus more on the erotic/lust aspect, this one is doing a great job in focusing on the romantic aspect, by mixing both romance and kink in a homogenic feeling that makes their relationship appear both pure and kinky at the same time, but never vulgar
I mean, if we have to be critic, this is obviously following Nana to Kaoru steps.I generally agree, but the "bdsm" "romances" that I've seen havent been overt erotica.

Either way, I just love how I can read every chapter of this manga and every interaction that these two have just clicks. No weird or unnecessary turn away from consensual love. It's similar to how Kaoru, for all of his flaws, was so obsessively meticulous in carefully crafting every experience for Nana, always worrying about her well-being.
Sorry for like butting in, but I'd just like to say that these kind of exchanges, where you trust your full self to your SO to let them do this to you, is the greatest expression of love that I know of.They are kinky because they love each other, and love each other beacuse they are kinky.
Now, for other works, Idk what you're reading, but I think the reason they go straight into erotica/soft-porn is because bdsm is still seen as just a kink, a twisted way to have sex. Especially for jousei and femdom in particular, it's just seen as something perverted, with almost nothing romantic.
Well, that's the absolute truth.Sorry for like butting in, but I'd just like to say that these kind of exchanges, where you trust your full self to your SO to let them do this to you, is the greatest expression of love that I know of.
