Queer rep
A total disappointment! This blurb is misleading af!!
The first chapter started out very cute, then the second chapter rudely burst through my door and I got whiplash.
Tago gets a sudden weird personality shift that screams 🚩red flag🚩
He says some suspicious things about his brother 🚩
He openly admits he agreed to date Ogi, not out of romantic interest or getting to know him better and see if he falls for him, but due to loneliness. He's using him as a replacement for his older brother which is bizarre 🚩
The characters and story are rather superficial. Not only that, Kanako was put into that role of the girl (friend) who has feelings for the (queer) MC and has to interfere somehow. She gets redeemed later, but seriously. Aren't we tired of this?!
I'm sure there are better queer books to translate than this, Tokyopop!
