The only thing saving this is that he actually does stop when she makes it very clear she doesn't want him to continue, but this whole "dude take charge of girl who doesn't really know what she wants" trope needs to die.ĭie Lage spitzt sich dramatisch zu, denn Haine kann sich einfach nicht für einen der Zwillingsbrüder entscheiden: Sie liebt Shizumasa und Takanari! Und auch Ushio steckt in der Zwickmühle, denn trotz ihrer vielen Verehrer liebt sie nur eine Person, und die heißt Haine! Als diese ihre beste Freundin zur Rede stellt und die ganze Wahrheit ans Licht kommt, trifft Haine eine folgenschwere Entscheidung.
I'm so tired of this bullcrap of dude so in love he can't control himself, whether it be controlling himself from being aggressive to his competition for his love interest or whether it be sexually toward his love interest. Ok, that's literally sexual assault/rape. But later they're talking about the situation and the main girl says she knows main guy would stop if she asked him to but her friend says he wouldn't stop in that situation. Ok, well according to previous context, he means steal her heart, but the current context is them in a room together alone so it can also be sex (which no, doesn't happen). For example, there's a comment about how the main guy is going to make the main girl his and how he doesn't think he can stop himself.
The characters kept acting as if aggressiveness in a relationship was ok.
This one was problematic to the point I couldn't really enjoy it. Similarly to Jeanne in Tanemura's earlier series, her compass follows that moment's emotional whims, which means her "decisions" can be inadvisable, to say the least. I have no clue what Ushio's motivations are towards the end of the book, nor why Haine makes the decision she does, especially since, by my reckoning, she was asserting the exact opposite just a few pages earlier. I think it's because in the best stories of this type, you can understand why the characters are doing what they're doing, or even feel what they're feeling, even if you would never, ever do as they do. With some manga, I can just roll with over-the-top melodrama, no matter how cliched, but this one is missing the mark a bit. In any case, I still think the storytelling's off.
These are high school sophomores, more or less, and there's also Ushio going to an adult man's room, and this man works for the school she goes to and. This volume has less obvious contrivance as far as the plot goes, but we still have some fairly stereotypical stuff like Haine falling off a cliff and Takanari risking himself to save her, and a completely unconvincing scenario where Haine and Takanari are on a school trip, and somehow they end up in a hotel room with just one bed.
