3.9 AVERAGE


Ja l'havia llegit aquest, però no el tenia registrat... un BL moooolt problemàtic entre un oficinista amb misofòbia i un psicòleg, que apareix a la seva vida per pura casualitat i decideix ajudar-lo a superar el seu trastorn. Comença prou bé, però la cosa es va tornant molt tèrbola, amb zero ètica professional, veritats a mitges i una dinàmica en què el consentiment i els límits no estan gens clars. Escenes molt hot, patint pel pobre nano, el psicòleg amb un punt sàdic i manipulador i, per rematar-ho, final feliç.

I had not realized that this was the last book in the series. It's so nice having a Yaoi manga be so short yet still leaving the reader wanting more. I liked the wrapping up of storylines and the recognition that germophobia won't just "go away." Though there was some vibes of non-consent, it was better than the previous books.

!!!This review is for the whole series!!!!


Is it toxic? Yes. Do I love it? Also yes. Ten Count is one of those series I've read 10 years ago and I remember just the very basic plot but I know I love it. Collecting the books was a challenge (vol 4 and vol 6 weren't available anywhere for a long time) and it took me more than a year to finally make myself read it. And Oh boy, I wasn't ready for it. 

Maybe my 14-year-old brain couldn't grasp the toxicity of this series and loved it so much. But now I understand it. How sick and manipulative it is, the amount of very questionable sex scenes (go on, convince me most of them weren't rape). Yet I still love the story, the whole idea behind the initial shock of those scenes. I felt very sad for both boys at their backstories and I'm glad they found a way to each other. We don't always need someone to save us. Sometimes we just need someone to destroy us even more and embrace the mess.
