It gave you the idea that Kengo didn't just think Shinobu was his toy, but it didn't give you that feeling of him thinking Shinobu was more as well. It would have been better if he would have changed his ways a bit when he got Shinobu back instead of still treating Shinobu like a toy.
Cute, but I can't stand how he was treated. It would've been great if in the end there was a chapter where the two sat down and had like a heart to heart where Shinobu broke and like screamed at Kengo about how he really felt or something, which would then cause Kengo to tell Shinobu how he really feels, too.
«◈[]◈» The main story(Ch.1-3) is not for me. I can't stand the Seme. It's NOT LOVE at all, it's just SELFISH. BTW. All one shots are super cute... ◈ Ch.4 Even Beyond Dreams : Downcast drunk Sensei was picked up by scary guy ◈ Ch.5 Sun's Playboy : Young boy has a crush on a surfer/swim instructor. ◈ Ch.6 Paper-thin Loathing : Kid's embarrassed dishonest word causes all. - Funny! HA+
The titles of the main story through the 3 chapters included the word Toy. A boy who was taken as a playmate and a plaything for the heir of a rich family has not felt anything but suffocation and being played by the young master. The sad reality is that the abuse continued until high school and beyond under the nose of staff without a decent human expressing their concerns. The only decent person, a fellow student was forced to transfer out of the school when he asked and showed his concern.
Is that the way we should reward abusers? The other stories are nothing special and forgettable.
Shinobu and kengo didn't get the chance to talk things out in the end. The main problem is because shinobu got treated like a toy by kengo but they kinda never solved the problem. Same accidents may happen all over again
Honestly, that was a low blow and sleazy of Kengo to pull that you-need-me-for-your-family-sake move. Just admit you fucking in love with him and try to win him back the RIGHT way. Get off your high horse you piece of shit. That’s right. I said it. Because this FUCKER need to learn that not everything would go his way. He needs to learn how to out cockiness and selfishness down or else he gotta lose some things. I’m disappointed he did that. Besides this shitty ass story having a fucked up ending, the rest of the stories is cute. I love the surfing one- It is adorable and they already have a secret spot together omfg. The business one (enemies to lovers shit) was: What the FUCK? I was hella confused because they do fucking while they were taken hostage LMAO. I dig it tho. Due to these two stories, I gave this 5 stars!!
P.S.: The teacher story one is...okay and good. I honestly forgot about it so that’s why I left this as a side note.
