The Tyrant Falls In Love · review
I would like to say at the onset, this is purely my feelings towards the manga and is not meant to be a review. This is super funny because everything in this manga is loud and raucous (especially the uke), but if we look past the jokes and the funny expressions, this manga is not actually that good at all... it in fact normalises ill-treating your partner - the uke treats the seme like garbage, literal garbage, to the extent that he gets happy for even the smallest piece of crumb that the uke throws his way... he has been in love with the ukefor five years (that's right, FIVE YEARS!). He is even forced to "blackmail" (not really) the uke, even after trying to communicate and ensure that the uke feels loved and not forced into a relationship, just because the uke needs an excuse to be with him. Shy is not the word you want to use to describe him; stubborn and cruel is a more appropriate adjective. The uke brushes off all these nice attempts made by the seme while trying simultaneously to get the benefits of having a boyfriend without putting the effort of love. He is just really toxic. He could in fact do more justice to the role of an evil boyfriend, rather than that of a ML in my opinion.
They are engaged in a relentless and vicious cycle througout the story - the seme tries to lure the uke into a relationship, the uke refuses (quite rudely, if I may add), the seme begins to think he is overbearing and starts to pull back, the uke throws him a small crumb, and the seme comes back wagging his tail like a puppy.
This crap continues for five volumes, *SIGHHHH*.
The uke never comforts the seme for the insecurities he has about the relationship (and should, given the nature of the relationship between them) and always acts as though he is doing a huge favour to the seme by allowing him to spoil him (like really? what kind of twisted mf are you to not even appreciate the love you recieve?)
Sorry, neither is your heart nor your body made of gold, for you to think so bloody high about yourself.
I would choose moringa over tatsumi any day. Atleast he attempts, and is quite human...
