so-soAresh, gah, Seiichirou is a grown man, you can't do this. I really wish this was seen as a bit more problematic by the story.
I'm still really curious how things are going to turn out, and I'm ordering the light novels, but I'm gonna have to be clear in my full-length reviews that there is definitely ick -- questionable consent (sex to save Seiichirou's life) and Aresh constraining Seiichirou's freedom for his own good.
pickNever sure if I'm finding the manga or light novel here on Litsy, there don't seem to be separate entries for all of them even if I search further. So this is for the manga!
The plot thickens in this volume. Sometimes it seems to be just about Aresh and Seiichirou, but I think Aresh is living in a romance novel and Seiichirou in an SF/F novel, in terms of how they view the relative importance of events.
Aresh still uncomfortably controlling. 😕
pickAh yes, Aresh, such frivolity, so convincing.
I'm enjoying the story, but I do wish Aresh would communicate a bit more with Seiichirou. It's not like they don't talk at all, but I think Aresh should say “I like you“ and “I want to spend time with you“... and maybe be a BIT less controlling, even if it is to save his life.
picki read somewhere that these anonymous diaries are faked by some mormon lady to scare kids away from drugs and eating disorders but this book seems so real. it also kinda seems like a manual on how to be anorexic so it‘s pretty triggering
The sex is kind of dubious on both sides (Aresh has some feeling that he's the only one who can save Seiichirou, both times they actually have penetrative sex), but then becomes a little coerced... along with just about every other interaction they have. 1/2 (edited) 1d
