The editor text calling people out on the first page--you love to see it.

Hot as this is... she sucks as much as her childhood friend does! She literally jumped at the first, most aggressive guy to come her way. She wanted him just as bad and just couldn't muster the courage, either. I know that's how it be sometimes. But damn, she could have made her own moves and put it all on him.... Too bad, last chapter led me to believe new beau is a psycho as much as this chapter tried to make him seem like a nicer guy than he comes off.

Coming back to this, I appreciate the slight hints the author left to show Kouta, in the grand scheme of things, is going to be alright.

Akina has already pointed out Kouta was popular in class and I'm pretty sure that one girl on Page 31 might have a thing for Kouta (or at least, Akina kind of ships them or something).

This hurt to witness, but I guess you can call it growing pains. Life's full of them. And hey, we only ever see a moment in their lives. You can headcanon whatever you want. I like to think one in every 5 Vanilla MCs has experienced this kind of heartache.

This was really refreshing take on the ugly bastard / ntr genre - where there's actually little coercion involved and it's more about how feelings don't exist in a vacuum.

Akina clearly cares very deeply for Kouta, and still does even after getting with Tatsuya. But the difference between Kouta and Tatsuya is that Tatsuya is upfront about his feelings and is actively pursuing not just to date Akina, but to understand her feelings and to be understood. You can like someone, but it's hard to have a relationship without both people working to make it one. Tatsuya did the work.

Is Tatsuya still acting on his jealousy in not the healthiest ways? Does he not stop fucking when she says to stop? Yeah LOL but I chalk that up to hentai. LBR Tatsuya would be written to do the same thing if he ever got to fuck Akina.

Trash ntr story as always nothing Separate him from all the other cucks ntr authors except the awesome art What a waste of good art

Remember to shoot your shot guys so that this doesnt happend to you. I hope this series gets animated

Why are some of these NTR artists so good at building character relationships? Why can't long form mangakas get this kind of relationship between MC and childhood friend right? (Without the NTR)

As a ntr lover this series is awesome

Honestly at first i wasnt a fan of this series, but after fully reading it i actually like it.

First of all, saying this as a shy man with self-esteem problems, FUCK Kouta. There is being indecisive and there is wating TWO FUCKING YEARS to confess.

The worst part is that the third page of this ch seems to connect to the first page of ch 1, wich would mean that Kouta (potentially) kept her waiting for a confession for two years since she was totally ready for a relationship together.....thats bullshit.

Tasuya seems ok, on the insecure side wich makes him being very pushy regarding Kouta but if the cheating story was true then its understandable.

If anything this chapter solodify my view that its just unreasonable to ask Akina to wait more than two years for Kouta to make his fucking mind when someone else has no problem in taking the initiative.

Reading this now only shows how pressed this guy is on the CHF still lol this girl gave up on him quick.

What's with all you talking about that this is heartbreaking don't you all know the world of pain that kouta just dodged when ugly bastard gets a hold of this broad there's going to be no brakes on the cum train. Muscle boy just brought a one way ticket to ntr station and kouta lucked the hell out especially if tentacles monster sama is hanging around that station. Seriously though I always found it unnervingly creepy how people expect individuals to hook up with their childhood friends like I never held the mindset my friends were that for a reason I always kept them as that. It's predatory to try to make your childhood friend your lover and simple-minded as well. I'm selfish as hell but I would never be so possessory. It's not a wonder that friendships between the sexes break up so easy no one goes into with honesty I can speak with my own experience I have turned down childhood friends looking to start sexual relationships. Like why even waste my time acting as if we were friends if you wanted my dick And I'm as stupid guy because I honestly believed we had a real friendship nope turned out she just wanted me to be a semen donor it still hurts because I built memories that I based on us as friends and it was all a fucking lie three years guys I lived a lie three whole years. And as a side note isn't three year a little too short a time before you as a female decide to jump on a guy's penis asking the ladies this one as well it's for a female audience to answer that. I felt like that was too short for a certain someone to be like oh Broderick I don't want to fight the heterosexuality for our friendship yolo time to fuck your best friend you known for all your high school years. But anyways I digress the art was sharp in this at least reminded me of a comic book.

btw for everyone that is confused this isn't the last chapter or even the last chapter chronologically, the most up to date on the story is the ending of the first chapter after he confesses his love and the girl holds some regret, supposedly Dramus will be releasing a last chapter eventually following that one, that will hopefully have them both move on.

Well, there you have it.

Guys, if you aren't honest with the girl you have a crush on, she will find a guy with a huge dick who will fuck her silly and she'll never talk to you again.

And girls? Well, if you aren't honest with the guy you have a crush on..... I guess you'll just have a great life and everything will work out perfectly?

Hmm, kind of a mixed message there...

Not gonna lie, the girl and her childhood friend both annoyed me. He wants to confess but is too afraid and she is just waiting for him because she doesn†˜t want to confess either. It†˜s like Love is War but without gags or funny characters…

Is there a sequel to this that takes place after the first one where the child friend decided to talk to her after losing her since this is a prelude?

Well damn this is officially one of the saddest NTR's. I mean there's plenty of other ones too, but still.

Ah seems there was a change in story from what I remember reading from... Another site. Interesting choice by Dramus, but more content the merrier

People get so miffed about this probably because they see themselves as the childhood friend in this situation. Tatsuya isn't a bad guy, he gave Skins the attention she wanted and was sincere with his feelings while Kouta beat around the bush for his own lack of self worth. Kouta's best friend even points out that Akina might not even be interested in Kouta's prerequisites for dating her. He did it to himself, Kouta is a CUCK and deserves to have his chance taken from him for being a wishy washy moron.

Feel a bit bad for the big muscled up dude if he does genuinely like her. She's hung up on her childhood friend, and may never truly get over him. Plus he looks shady as hell, which probably doesn't help.

*Hmph* This was a hot part of the story. I’d feel really good about the saga in total if it wasn’t for 2 things. First, even as jerky as he has been in the previous chapters, I just wish Tatsuya didn’t have that Dick Dastardly look to him bc he really isn’t doing anything wrong with going out with Akina. And that leads into the second point. With this being only the prequel and he does look so sinister, there might be rough sailing for Akina going forward where she gets into more than what she wanted.

When the mc of a romance manga that went 200 chapters with barely any plot progression gets hit with ntr. Feels bad/good?

The art is top notch. But the story is a bummer.

Nice prelude glad to get more context to the story and more sexy sex scenes by Dramus! Overall a very adult story about moving on and letting go. That is why you shouldn’t wait around cuz you are just asking for you crush to be snatched away by a more assertive person.

Ah Dramus, Never ceases to amaze me with the art. A well deserved ending for her!

"Yo Dawg, That Was DEEP!"

Probably don't need to say any more than that.

I'll be damned, props to her for moving on.
Kouta had a A+ osananajimi with Akina but it turns out he wasn't enough of a man to confess to her. Even though she always held out hope.

Shout out to the Dramus chapter, Yomi Country.
