Comments of Koisuru Boukun

Omg it’s the one w the anime. I’m not reading any further than ch 4. It’s too much sorry

just gross...

slow burn. seme love bombs uke. uke tsundere. cohabitation

It's on par with Sekaiichi on how long I have been waiting for their progress haha.

vol.12, chp.1

All these comments about how there is no development in the story or in the characters… Please, read the manga again in one go, you will see it, real character development. It’s only seamless because it’s well written, it flows naturally, but it’s so very much there.

Compare Souichi in the first volumes to Souichi now. Souichi in volume 2 was telling Morinaga “so your brother is the type who can get married, you should learn from him”. In vol 6 he was wiping away Morinaga’s tears when he cried about Souichi’s father being acceptant of his gay son like Mori never had. And now in vol 15, Souichi’s reaction to Morinaga bashing himself for being sad that his parents will probably try to make him marry a woman was to cradle Mori’s face in his hands and tell him “it’s not nothing!”
This is character development, well written, continuous, unambiguous.
Think of Souichi who still denied their relationship in volume 7, and how in vol 14 he talked with Morinaga about how “to me, telling people closer to me is the hardest”, fully acknowledging that they *are* together, that there *is* something to be known.
Souichi who used to say “all homos must die” (homophobe) who has fully stopped spewing homophobic bullshit for quite a long while now. Souichi who once broke down crying “I aint a goddamn homo” in self hatred and denial, who now says “it’s not like we’re doing anything wrong” to his boyfriend.
You have to keep in mind that he is a tsundere character, he will never be one for grand romantic gestures. But he’s still cone such a long way.

Morinaga has come a long way too! From being reckless and saying he didn’t care of people knew, to caring about who does know and how it would affect Souichi (and himself).
Morinaga, who at first would steal kisses on the fly, and jumped on every chance to be intimate with Souichi because he was so insecure, and then learned to restrain himself and to trust, though he still struggles because it all comes from pretty major trauma. Think of how Morinaga was unbearably jealous of Souichi seeing someone else in volume 3, and in volume 13 he left Souichi alone in their appartement with Isogai, though he still doesn’t trust the guy for p valid reasons.

As for the plot, how has it not developed? Souichi meets Morinaga’s brother and learns of his family and his past. Souichi’s house burns down and they move in together. *Souichi kisses Morinaga first.* They go to Canada, have talks about consent and boundaries. Morinaga meets Souichi’s family and tells him of his own. Souichi struggles to accept his feelings and his sexuality and they talk about it. They are confronted with Morinaga’s ex, go through a huge argument that almost breaks them, only for Souichi to realize that he wants Morinaga and needs to show him that. And for Morinaga to realize he cannot rush Sou into self acceptance. They go to Morinaga’s hometown, peeling away a bit more of his past. They get new kouhais in the lab in prevision of Morinaga graduating and moving on from education to the workforce. Morinaga moves to another city, they have a whole situation about roommates. Mori outs them to someone and they have a well needed talk about that. Souichi rides Morinaga’s cock while moaning his name. Souichi becomes an associate professor. They have engagement rings now.

This story began with a deeply insecure and impulsive guy having the world’s messiest codependent situationship with the CEO of emotional repression and sexual shame. Now its about two working adults who talk about their feelings, their mutual boundaries, and are able to have a relationship despite working in two different cities. If that’s not progress I don’t know what is.

Honestly one of my favorites

All the comments mentioned how great this story was and worth rereading, but the homophobic character made me really uncomfortable. I tried, but ,I couldn't finish it.

Dropped at vol 15 ch 1

the uke is really a tsundere HAHAHA salute to the seme for having a loooooong patience. THANKUOUUUUUU

is cute n all I JUST LOVE IT OMGG GIMME MORE

i read this baxk then but im not sure where i stopped TT

I managed to get to vol 9 ch 12, i really tried to see what everyone else saw in this manga. I am glad they are finally making some baby steps but it's so fucking frustrating, and i got into the minfuck where i felt like i already spent so much time on this i can't just give up mow so i kept going deeper and deeper and now that i realized it, i have no intention to continue

I really like the side characters and the story is well written but the side chars basically kept the story afloat for me so i'm sad to say goodbye for them but it's for the best

Kind of a guilty pleasure manga lol. I really love watching the relationship between them bloom, idgaf how long it’ll take

Aww I watched it's ova years ago and just found it's manga
