I have read other stories where the protagonist ends up giving shelter to some bum he founds on the streets or something like that; it’s always ridiculous and every time I can’t help but think “that’s how you get robbed or killed”, but this story takes the cake. The protagonist (Yuki) gets approached (in the middle of the woods, at night) by a (literally) bloody man who asks him for help. Despite Yuki offering to call the police, the man refuses and instead asks Yuki for a ride and to let him spent the night at his place. I swear I hoped this manga wassome sort of horror BL story, because, what fucking kind of plot is this?! Was it really necessary for them to meet this way? Anyway. The rest of the story is not any better. The bum (Misora) is a leech, with no redeemable qualities beyond being willing to have sex with Yuki, despite the bum being “straight”. At least in other stories where the protagonist invites a stranger to live with them, the guys turn out to be amazing at cleaning, cooking, etc. Yuki is a dull middle aged man who just got dumped by his boyfriend after 8 years, supposedly, because the bf actually never liked him because the bf “was straight from the beginning”. Because of course you date your "hommie" for 8 years just because you really like him, but you’re straight, but still you like your "hommie" so much that you can’t break up with him, even after you notice (since the beginning), that you’re straight, so instead, you keep the relationship going for 8 years, until your "hommie" finally finds you having sex with a woman in the BED YOU SHARE with him in the APARTMENT YOU LIVE IN TOGETHER. So now, you tell him you were always straight and never liked him in that way. After 8 years. Give me a fucking break! Some authors I swear write the dumbest shit and still get published for some reason. Of course, I’ve read the “he was straight to begin with, so he dumped me” trope before, but never something this ridiculous. Most have always been more like: the "straight" ex chose to live a “normal” life to avoid the hardships of being in a gay relationship, or they fucked with a the protagonist and then realized they were not that into men. But making the ex be “straight” and suggest they were grossed out by MC thrughout the whole 8 year relationship? It just makes no sense! Back to the “couple”. The bum (Misora) stays for like a week and Yuki is already catching feelings (biggest eye roll) and for what reason? I couldn’t tell you. Misora hasn’t shown ANY positive traits beyond being willing to have sex with MC despite being "straight", and on top of being “straight” just as Yuki’s ex, he’s also a cheater, just like the ex. Once a cheater, always a cheater and all that. The way they end up together is meh, everything that is not just dumb af, is meh honestly, including the art. Is not too bad, but is just very stiff, and everyone looks like a dude in a wig, all the women? Men in wigs. Nothing wrong with a man in a wig, but it always ticks me off when an artist only seems to be able to draw one gender and one gender alone. I forgive the author a little, just because the bathtub scene was kinda hot, everything else can be burned for all I care.
