Tomoharu Ueda is satisfied with his role as a police officer in his community. He enjoys assisting people, and in return, they appreciate him. One evening, he receives a visit from a yakuza member who turns out to be the victim of the underwear thief Tomoharu had apprehended the previous night. The yakuza member is Aki Gotouda, the heir to the Gotouda clan, who expresses gratitude for catching the thief. To Tomoharu's astonishment, Aki confesses his feelings for him. This marks the beginning of a forbidden relationship between a police officer and a yakuza.
I have a lot of issues with Yaoi and Shonen Ai, overly dramatic background stories, extreme and cruel twists just to add even more drama and gay couples everywhere instead of the actual couple making real progress.
This manga has all of this, too, sadly. But it is more of a comedy, doesn't take itself serious and stays very positive through the series. Already a good start.
What I love the most though is the strong acceptance of the uke. In the majority of bl I read so far, the uke is presented to be in some way inferior to the seme, often having no backbone and being presented as somewhat degenerate just because they are the uke, slutshaming and such.
In this story the uke is allowed to love sex and enjoy himself as much as he wants. While not the smartest, he is also very strong-willed and has a lot of backbone. This alone makes the story quite enjoyable to me.
This has become my absolute FAVORITE manga ever!!!! I've been reading a lot since I was little and I really think this is the BEST!!! I can't wait for the next update! The suspense is killing me!!!
I love the comedy, I love how cute it is as well. Reread it and loved it because of that.
Things I didn't like though:
-Aki can seriously be annoying, he acts like a 13 y.o. at times. I keep forgetting he's 25!
-That annoying trait some mangas (especially those by this author) have of all or most of the cast members being gay,
-the fact that it feels like every chapter is about one character being jealous about another characters relationship character A's SO. Ueda's being jealous about his brother, Aki's cousins, Aki's friends etc. It's pretty clear that the author is out of ideas and is just rehashing the jealousy plot for more chapters.
Also, the nipple play, calm down dude!
Conclusion: If you'd like a fluffy yaoi involving a straight seme and a horny uke, with lots of comedy and occasional serious moments, you'll like this. Don't read if you want a plot or a solid story line though.
Considering this manga involves yakuza you wouldn't think it would be particularly domestic or fluff. But that's basically what this entire thing is, the cop/criminal aspect is pretty much just an opposites attract plot device. There are some tropes in here but its refreshingly not too heavy in comparison to others.
I think my favourite aspect is it's basically just slice of life idiot couple in love, its so nice to find a yaoi manga that isn't, basically, sexual assault and dubcon every chapter. We have two people who love each other and enjoy sex with each other and its all pretty simple and sweet.
But I didn't used to.
I tried reading Honto Yajuu maybe three times before that, and I never could get over the art style making everyone look so young and cartoonish.
This time around though, I somehow got past it and marathoned the whole 8 volumes.
It's such an adorable series. I love how horny both Ueda and Aki are for each other all the time.
I love how sweet their relationship is, and how honest. And well, how hot. <3
I learned to appreciate the art and enjoy it. It's a bit sketchy and so pleasant to look at.
As for the plot, it's just heaps of fun. Besides the fact that I love a yakuza x cop type thing, the side characters provide a lot of entertainment, and I love how the other mobsters in Aki's household idolize him.
All the situations these guys get into are super far fetched, but they end up bringing the pair closer and just amuse me to no end.
I don't often wish for a series to drag on, but I don't feel that at 8 volumes it has. I hope this will continue for as long as the mangaka is interested, because I'm sure there're many more stories to tell. Besides, even for 8 volumes, there're only 17 chapters. x3
I've been reading a lot of dark stuff recently, and this manga really helped to make me feel warm and happy.
This manga is hilarious, well written, and the characters are easy to get attached to. The art is easy on the eyes too, and though there's a star crossed lovers dynamic, the writer doesn't exploit it in the least. It's a lighthearted, cute, heartwarming read to cleanse your soul of other less beautiful bl.
This is the manga that I really love! I cannot stop rereading this. I remember the time when I first read this I really stayed up until morning because I cannot stop reading it. I just love this I wish that it keep going!
This manga is really cute! I love it! But sometimes Aki can be a little dramatic or he can be such a busybody. Through out the series the characters actually change bit by bit and I find that nice cause from some mangas I've read the characters change way to quickly or they don't change at all.
