Twittering Birds Never Fly, Vol.1 by Kou Yoneda

Yashiro is a masochist and shies away from his partners getting too attached and Doumeki is impotent. Doumeki witnessed his father sexually assaulting his younger sister and that changed the way he views sex, in general. Yashiro was sexually assaulted by his stepfather as a child and that changed the way he views relationships.

His partners can be cruel, uncaring, and rough. Yashiro gets off on sex where he's basically treated like an object. Again, these encounters aren't at all loving and romantic. He's speaks very frankly of his sex life and has sex with men in front of him. At first, Yashiro gets off on trying to make Doumeki uncomfortable because he finds him attractive. This is the story of Yashiro, the leader Shinseikai and Chikara Doumeki, a former cop who becomes Yashiro's bodyguard. This is either the 4th or the 5th manga I've read and I this is my favorite! Hear me out. There are quite a few sex scenes in this series and none of them loving or romantic. And by that cover, you know exactly what you're getting. Judge the hell out of me but I could not put this down. Even when they are unable to meet in the middle. The characterization is incredible, and their attachment to each other may be deeper than it seems at first. Strangely enough, there is a compelling atmosphere in this story. Sexually mostly, and the non-answer he receives from Doumeki only spurs him on even more. Yashiro takes him as his bodyguard (although he finds other uses in him) and loves provoking him in all ways he can think of. Nothing can scratch his imperturbable armor. He's also an teasing irreverent masochist who has been secretly pinning his best (and only) friend from high school.ĭoumeki is an ex-con, and an ex-police officer, who intercedes in one of Yashiro's 'scenes'. Yes, I kind of expected this to epically explode in my very face, yet it didn't. I wanted to see how the hell this would be sorted out. It stuck and couldn't forget about it ever since.Ĥ. I wanted to read this series because of a bunch of reasons:ġ.
