I guess IРІР‚в„ўm happy that he got himself out of the situation, instead of being saved, but otherwise it bothered me.Р”Р„side from that, I enjoyed this volume. But itРІР‚в„ўs also used as an important moment where Izumi realizes his feelings for Ryoma, and I donРІР‚в„ўt like that he needed to be assaulted in order for that to happen. The author tries to make a joke of it at one point, and that was distasteful to me, because it doesnРІР‚в„ўt change what the characters were doing.

My only real problem with this volume, is the attempted rape scene.

Izumi is kind of adorable at times, in the way that he relies on Ryoma, and Ryoma loves it. I love how Izumi just threw himself at Ryoma, and Ryoma tried to be respectful when he didnРІР‚в„ўt know what was going on. That leads to some sexy times, as well as some really cute moments. And in this volume, Izumi realizes his own feelings for Ryoma. Even if heРІР‚в„ўs a little pushy at times, I mostly just enjoy it. I like how Ryoma just goes for it, he is unashamed of his love for Izumi. The last couple volumes were really fun, and this one was as well. I love how Izumi just threw himself at Ryoma, and Ryoma tried to be respectful when ~3/5 ~3/5 (Contains some spoilers.) I really want to love this series. Maybe at age 20-ish he's already at the point in his career where he's famous for being famous?. Random thought: we haven't seen Ryoma actually singing in these first three volumes, though there is a scene somewhere talking about his chart-topping rivalry with Izumi's brother. Although I'm not a huge fan of the weepy-drooly facial expressions that manga artists use to show that the person on the bottom is actually enjoying themselves. Do we really need Izumi to be (view spoiler) for him to realize he's in love with Ryoma? The love scene in the latter part of this volume was really sweet. Random thought: we haven't seen Ryoma actually singing in these first th There are ways that this story is, eh, a little old-fashioned. There are ways that this story is, eh, a little old-fashioned. (This volume has no star rating, because I CAN'T EVEN!). But why put him in that situation in the first place? Just so that this TRAUMA helps him realise that he has feelings for Ryuma? Really? THAT was needed for this admission?! A tiny, tiny glimmer of something different. Why is there a need to place him in such such a horrible situation when it has no real bearing on the story, except MAYBE to show us how enticing IzumiРІР‚в„ўs androgynous good looks are? And MAYBE to cement into the brains of everyone how all not traditionally male looking bodies are just objects, commodities? Thanks a lot! Izumi saves himself at least. The attempted gang rape in this volume is absolutely HORRIBLE! Izumi is being turned into a РІР‚С›damsel in distressРІР‚Сљ, icky by itself, but then the whole situation has no real weight behind it to further anything in the plot, not that such an atrocity should be used for that.

(remarkable self-control for a BL character in a love scene for example), while others remain for comedic effect (snapping pics of Izumi while he sleeps just because heРІР‚в„ўs too cute.
