One of my biggest mistake

4 characters, are students, full of cheap and disgusting s*xscenes to make reader satisfied. They do each other, like animals. What and why do i have to write more detail or think deeper, darker, just a nothing and meanless story.

i wonder if this manga deserve to be scored.

I tried hard to read 11 chaps and i didn't know why i had to do it. The girl in thumbnail always opens her legs wider with not only main, friend's main, but also everyboys and everymen because she wants them to f*** her hard shamelessly.

*sigh*

Most of the hate for this manga comes because of the original source material which is an H-manga for people with a certain fetish.

I feel like I need to give this a 10, just because others hate it so much. I think it's worth the read, actually. Yes, it's it's everything they say it is, but it's not bad. The main characters are often frustrating, but none of them are truly bad people. I actually want to see what's gonna happen next. If anything, this manga is about 1000x better than the disgusting abomination called Horimiya. It's not that bad, give it a try.

This was hilariously bad. The only likable character is the bald guy since he ends up stacking paper and getting bitches.

The supposed main character is very pathetic/wishy washy. Honestly don't understand why he decided to stay around his friend group with all the fuckery going on within it.

The art is pretty good, not anything spectacular, but its good. The characters are shit excluding the bald guy because as I said previously, bro stacks paper and gets all the bitches, I can respect that.

Other than that this story is a cautionary tale on why you should never simp. Read the doujin version if you want ...

Sexuality is not necessarily a juvenile subject, and it can be really poignant and even subtle when done well. A film I like a lot is a French film about a girl who becomes a prostitute for seemingly no good reason. Perhaps she likes it? Perhaps it's a feminist metaphor? Perhaps she just wants power over others. It can be intriguing, compelling stuff, especially when it is done artfully and entwined with the psychological. Sex in dramas isn't just gratuitous sexualisation or depictions of love in the hands of a competent storyteller. It's everything to do with being human as well. (The film is Young ... and Beautiful directed by Francois Ozon btw).

So now that I've justified why I've dived deep into this work, lemme get on with the review.

I read the original of this manga after I had heard that this was originally an adult manga. Now, although I don't think it was very good, it still had quite a few bold storytelling decisions, good panelling, and an intriguing atmosphere for an adult manga. Sadly, I don't think the story grasped human psychology very well and in the end, the whole thing really felt more like a justification for an NTR fetish. The ending in particular was a fascinating disappointment. Although it was quite bold in its ambiguity, it ultimately did not really answer any questions about the characters' choices nor probed deep enough to leave an interesting enough thought to meditate on after the read.

That said, this new adaptation just reads to be a much more interesting and psychological simply by forgoing the over-sexualisation that an adult work has to contain. It reads more like an exploration of the main character's conflicted feelings of lust and love for an indecipherable girl who seemingly just wants to sleep around. This definitely makes the story here more compelling to read, more like a coming of age tale: of sexual discovery, youthful uncertainty, and the indecipherability of certain people. But sadly, the story doesn't really go deep enough.

Unlike something like Shuzo Oshimi's works where sexual desire is intertwined with the character's background history and trauma, making the oddities in the characters' behaviours much more believable, the story here seems much more satisfied with leaving things unsaid. While this definitely keeps up the tension and mystery, after 13 chapters of this, it really feels like the author isn't going to go beyond that.

I think that there is some potential here, but to tap it, it needs to go further into coming of age, and the psychological. To further dive into the characters' mindset and the eccentricities of their developing thinking in this transitory period called youth. To really see what made each of them who they are - Their families, their circumstances, etc. Hopefully, then, we can answer some of these intriguing questions brought about by the story: Why is she so willing? What is her goal? And, why is he so smitten with her?

Other than that, I'm not really taken with the art style all that much, but I think the panelling is quite well done and gives the whole thing a detached, languid pace that emphasises a sense of reality that made the original work a fascinating read. I also think the way the sexual scenes tread a fine line and seem more artful than titillating.

However, the danger of the ending of the original still seems to be lurking in the corners. I sure hope that the author is sensible enough to flesh out the conclusion of this story and not simply let it be an NTR thing, because no matter how much I thought about it, I just could not identify how anyone would think that it would be a sufficient conclusion.

There is usually a reason for a person's sexual fetish. Usually, it's tied to a person's upbringing, their history and the development of their ideas and beliefs, even if it is just a minor or mundane incident. It's just not believable to think that this kind of thing develops in a vacuum, the idea that you are born with the desire to be cucked or the desire to let yourself be a sexual toy is an unsatisfying and incomplete idea.

Maybe there are definitely people out there who just do? It's a big world after all, and bedroom stories aren't usually told. But I personally can't imagine it without any form of justification.

The original ending seems to be about acceptance and being at peace with your own 'quirks'. Fine, I guess if one reads it like that it can be 'poetic' in that sense. But I can't help but feel in the context of the story, in the context of everything else that has been depicted, that there is a wealth of more interesting ideas present here left untapped. Wouldn't it be all the more intriguing of a story if the question of why was answered as well?

It’s a cuckold story. That’s it

I’ve noticed these have become popular to make as of late, I mean official manga serializations. It’s dominated in dojinshi of course, with its ridiculous bad plots and laughable character writing. I only read this because I get the itch to read complete garbage from time to time, something’s wrong with me.

Now, respectfully, fuck everyone in this story not named Akaneya Yuuri. If you have ever seen the anime “Just Because” she is literally Komiya from that and everyone else are the rest of the cast but much more degenerate. She comes through so often for the mc and others ...

It's only an opinion but reading it was bit pissing probably the mc aspect is a bit realistic like what boys are and not becoming a fully pledged men and being blinded by beauty of outside and the "hoe" heroine is a bit slutty in my perspective not in the mc's perspective because of the perspective how I've read it, that she's fucking been enjoying the situation while the mc sees her as pure "slutty" girl, the way she enjoying gangbang, hooked-up sex, sole female sex, raped, being drench as a like a prostitute, and etc.(damn I listed some fucking porn genre).

First off, this manga has a bad wrap, and I get it. If you believe that the world is full of sunshine and that nothing bad ever happens in the world, Don't read this manga. If you are an adult that can understand that you might not know someone as well as you think you might know them and that each and everyone of us has their own ideals and desires. Then I think this manga is pretty good.

THIS REVIEW COMES FROM SOMEONE THAT READ THE ORIGINAL

I've actually read the original source material and it sure did diminish in quality in terms of art. I'm not really sure what they're trying to achieve through this adaptation but by all means, I really like the idea of doujins getting manga adaptations. However, this one is done in poor taste.

They made some slight changes into the first few chapters and they added some more scenes the deviate to the original which resulted in where the MC can show off more of his "cuckiness". They made the MC slightly more expressive and also more assertive ...

You would be remiss in giving this a bad review because of its associations with its adaptation. I understand NTR is bad but despite how distasteful you found the material it was based upon, it presents a decent character drama.

From up until Volume 2, it showcases the psychological interplay between the four initial characters: Kousei, Takashi, Iida, and Niiyama through their exploration of sexuality, however, twisted it may seem. Although, the characters, up to this point, are indecipherable in their actual motivations. I acknowledge that the work is probably not done and this review is only preliminary but my primary critique has to do ... with the fact that the focus of the story, much like in the doujinshi, is on Kousei when it could be argued that the perspectives of all of the other subjects could add further context to their understanding.

There is little to no characterization of the main cast beyond what Kousei outwardly signals to the audience. You know that Takashi is going to be the hot-headed pervert who gets to live out his life but (up until this point) there is nothing more than that. You can obviously tell that Iida is likely going to emulate this romanticized ideal and pure girlfriend until she is defying her almost saintly image but there is barely anything other to grasp further. You can perfectly infer that Niiyama is a preppy, out-going gal with an interest in sex but other than that, there isn't really anything to speak of. I really want to understand these characters as a whole. What is the point of just focusing on Kousei's skewed perspective when it adds nothing more than an already realized character arc?

Think about it, how are you going to tell me the story of a train crash and yet only give that narrative through the perspective of one of the four conductors. I want to understand a character like Iida; her psychology, her environment, and most importantly, her apathy toward the situation. I understand that people will still throw out insults about her sexual promiscuity and whatnot but if realized she could be such an interesting character to dive into. Still, we only view her through the lens of Kousei.

Everything about this series could have been great but it is just its lack of in-depth characterization that lets me down. I'll come back to this review as soon as the characterization shows any signs of significant improvement but until then: it's a mediocre story. Everything else is decently well put together; as the plot logically follows from its origin. Even ignoring my earlier criticisms of the series not delving into other characters, Kousei's characterization is done amazingly well for a series based on a netorare doujin. You understand the pain that the MC is going through and all of his motivations are clearly sympathetic to a degree. It just misses the mark in not giving the main cast the same love as well.

When reading this manga, it is understandable that most would come out of this feeling almost empty. It almost feels like I was edged out of a good story and now I am just waiting for the climax.

Disclaimer: This sort of stuff is not even remotely my cup of tea, but I won't impose my conformist conclusions on people who consumes this "deviant" stuff; just as it wouldn't be my place to decide whether a shoujo/josei or LGBTQ content is good or not if I can not relate as a straight male.

This is not NTR in the most conventional sense, this is more of Netorase which is a very special kind of NTR where the MC masochistically revels in the defilement of his partner/crush. I did not know what this manga was before getting into it. I wasn't aware it was a ...

This manga is absolute garbage. It's not just bad, it's disturbing on every level. The main female character is a total bitch—manipulative, selfish, and utterly despicable. From the very beginning, she makes it clear how much of a toxic person she is. In the first chapter, there's a scene where she’s actively engaging in sexual acts right in front of the main character. It’s degrading, offensive, and frankly disgusting.

I honestly felt physically sick reading it. This series is an emotional and psychological assault, and I deeply regret ever stumbling upon it. There is no meaningful story here, just a grotesque portrayal of toxic relationships and ...

This is horrible...I can't even explain how bad this is. The art style is alright I guess but who cares about that, the main story itself just sucks and its honestly hard to sit through. The characters are unlikeable and they make stupid decisions that just come off as...Cringe considering no one in their youth would make the choices these characters made, in fact they wouldn't even think about these things. They did a trash job at trying to portray a "good" story filled with the feeling of youth(If you can even call it that). Instead you got a basic NTR but with a TWIST, ...

The story is unique in bad way like NTR .Not sure what to think or do. this manga is surely depressing the audience. main fault is that the Female MC of this manga doesn't care about the feelings of Male MC. She know how he feel about her despite that she did S*x with every man who forced into her without trying to resist.
I'm so depressed now I can't write anymore details.
Suggestions if you're strong willed person then don't hesitate to read it.
But if you're weak or average or normal willed person then pretend like you had never scene this manga.
