What began as a shallow smutty one shot turned into some of the best character development ever! A later dj even addresses the fiasco of the first chapter and amends are made;) Maya starts out as a typical shallow rich boy who is childish and bullying in his affection, and grows into a considerate devoted partner. Meanwhile Nemu who starts out as a poor studious blackmailed uke, is shown to be a person who can be pretty oblivious about others and himself. This leads to hurt for both. What I love is that Maya WANTS to improve himself to be a better partner for Nemu, and that Nemu isn't left as a clueless airhead. He realizes his faults and tries to improve them while letting Maya know he will still be true to himself.
I love this author and this story.It's a simple love story about two boys who struggle with communicating. Maya doesn't know how to express his true feelings so he decides to black mail his crush, Nemugasa, into starting physical relationship. Nemugasa is only book smart and doesn't understand Maya's true intentions or even his own feelings.We get to see theses characters grow and learn to be in a functioning relationship. They learn to support eachother and communicate. But Maya still has tsundere tendencies and Nemugasa still is very dense which always leads to new problems and misunderstanding.Overall this is a fun and sexy read. I don't think is meant to be taken extremely serious but there is a nice plot and character development. I read a fan English translation of this story and I loved it. Please support this piece of work, as well as the author. It is hard to get physical English translated published BL.So if you enjoyed reading the fan scanslations please purchase a copy if you can to support the continuation of this work and others!!
Ahhh I been waiting for this book for a long timeI'm happy I can buy it now I love it so muchI know the first volume is not convincing but after it gets better and it turns out to be such a sweet and romantic story worth reading
When you hear of a student begin blackmailed for something, you think you have the typical couple. These two are not the case. Both characters are different from the usual yaoi pairing I read and that is what made this book so interesting! I enjoyed the character development and how just one little change (enter third wheel) could change how the story goes for the final chapter. Nekota mentioned that Maya didn't turn out how she wanted, but I enjoyed his personality alot in the book. I couldn't look away and finished this book quickly! I look forward for the spinoff to read.
Honestly I have mixed feelings about this, because I'm not too crazy about the blackmail turning into romance. Though the reason I gave it a high rating is because the art is really nice and Maya is so delicious looking. He's the hottest seme ever and so dirty, lol. I also love Nekota's other works, Mousou Elektel and Otona Keikenchi. I hope Sublime can license them too. :)
I hadn't read anything about this series before I bought it and I had high expectations though I read a couple of negative reviews. Glad I bought it anyway. I ended up loving the story and the couple. Sure there are a couple of aspects in the story that may disturb sensitive readers but if you get pass that, the story since the beginning is about a tough guy who can express how he really feels does it the wrong way. The rest is just see how the couple even, through hardships, slowly comes to terms with their true feelings.
Abosolutely love this story! Funny, crazy storyline and very lovable characters. Shy geeky kind hearted guy, meets your regular badass "breaks the rules and don't give a crap" hoodlum. This story does start out on blackmail, but I promise it gets better not worse. It gets really cute later on!Most definitely recommend this to any yaoi fan! ♡♡♡
WOW! This is defiantly one I'm glad I added to my collection.The storyline is just a bit rocky but if you like hot and steamyand hell if your a yaoi fan like me this is a definite buy and fornot a bad price :)
