2.5 STARS - IT WAS OKAY
MY REVIEW:
This was all sorts of fucked up. This review is going to be spoilery, but you should really know what you're getting yourself into.
Obviously, this was only a one volume manga, so it couldn't go into great detail about the mom's relationship, but what type of mom goes on a 3 week business trip and comes back with a super younger guy saying that he's her boyfriend, that she might marry him, and that he was going to start living with them starting right now to her son???
Granted, Tsubaki is not a little kid that needs looking after, but he's still incredibly naive and sheltered and has been fatherless for a long time. How could you just spring that on him and then suddenly leave on another business trip and leave them alone together? That's so weird and irresponsible! It doesn't even show that Reiichi has a job or anything, so why would a successful businesswoman like Tsubaki's mom even be interested in Reiichi to begin with?
Then, after her son tells her that her boyfriend and her son fell in love with each other while she was gone, she still let's her son chase after him?! And just slaps Reiichi the next time he comes over and threatens him if he hurts Tsubaki? This is just bad parenting.
Not to mention Reiichi's actions. He toyed with Tsubaki in the beginning because it was fun before he actually fell for him. Then, instead of listening to him or letting Tsubaki understand what happened, he r*ped him and then ran away?? Wtf?!
And Tsubaki forgives him immediately anyway and wants to have sex with him again because he didn't like how he couldn't see Reiichi when he r*ped him the first time! This kid was too starved for love and attention growing up. Plus, he's a teenage boy, so I can understand his high sex drive in place of physical affection, so I actually don't blame his love brain for taking things the wrong way.
It's the adults that really irritated me. A lot of the comments said that Reiichi basically groomed Tsubaki, which I think was true, especially with the extras near the end.
But despite all of these complaints, I couldn't stop reading the manga. The art was too good, and I kept on having high hopes for the mom. I didn't hate it enough to quit reading the manga, so my recommendation is to read this at your own risk lol.
