Bad Boys, Happy Home #3
Bad Boys, Happy Home, Vol. 3
Sometimes all it takes is a good fistfight to find true love!
Akamatsu has problems at home, while Seven doesn’t even have a home. When these two strangers meet, fighting soothes their troubled souls, opening up room for something more.
Seven has disappeared, and when Akamatsu goes looking for him, he learns of his shocking past. The two have grown up in vastly different worlds, but the time they’ve spent together still burns brightly. Will Akamatsu fight to get those days back or is the chasm between their two worlds too great to span?

It was worth going through the yakuza plot and all the other dark stuff to see the impact its conclusion has on Aisuke and Seven's relationship. Without giving anything away, let's just say it put a huge smile on my face. The whole series did, and it's gonna be one of the things I think about whenever I need to smile.

I think, at the end of the day, I do like this series. I appreciate that it's willing to go as far as it does to explain why Seven was homeless in the park when Aisuke met him, how it doesn't magically fix things between Aisuke and his homophobic dad, and how both boys ultimately learn that happiness takes work - and are willing to do that work. On the other hand, this has some whiplash-quality tonal shifts (I laughed at the nature hike chapter, but it really belongs in a different manga that doesn't involve children being prostituted and drug lords), so it's a very uneven reading experience.
My final takeaway? If you're looking for darker BL with art drawn by a guy who usually works in shounen/seinen, this is worth it at only three volumes. But it comes with some hefty content warnings and weird tonal changes, so be prepared.

True to the up/down writing to the very end. I liked the ending. But did the roller-coaster-story need to dive so low? Some strange story-lines popped up in each one of these volumes. The cover of these books looks like "bad" boys is just a fun title, whereas Seven indeed was with a very bad group that normally would not let this story ever have the good ending that resulted.
Overall 3.5 for me for this series:
Ending - 4.5+
Strange plot inserts - 3.5
Strong trigger-sensitive non-cool stuff - 2.5

The whole series has been a wild friggin ride. I mean wild, literally wild!! I didn't finish it before because the story was getting so dark for me and I was kinda still sensitive back then, but finally, I pushed myself today. AND THE ANIMALS SCENE IS SO FRIGGIN HILARIOUS—I CAN'T!! But, I guess, all's well that ends well, huh.

Me encanta! Cómo se hablan, la relación que tienen... El capítulo del bosque es una flipada muy divertida. Qué buena historia.

Mmmmm...a ver...para mí la idea de este manga es rompedora: dos macarras enamorados, que muestran interés a su manera, dándose palos y provocándose. Ok hasta ahí bien.
En el segundo tomo, sigues disfrutando de su relación y te encanta verles; y a la vez te muestran la trama oscura de la mafia con el pasado de Seven. Incluso el final del 2do tomos dices: uf....agüita...que yo hasta hace unas páginas me estaba riendo con este manga....
Pero ya el tercer tomo...se ha desinflado...la trama de la mafia, a mi parecer, les ha venido grande...no han sabido llevarla como merece ni desarrollar personajes como el de Eight (que aunque no sea de mis favoritos, podría haber tenido un desarrollo mejor en la trama) A su vez, lo que salva este tomo, vuelven a ser los personajes de Akamatsu y Seven porque tienen carisma ambos y juntos son geniales. Pero me ha decepcionado el desarrollo de la trama oscura que ofrecía la mafia japonesa.

¡Ya he acabado macarras in love! Me da hasta pena, Seven y Akamatsu me han hecho reir tanto...
Respecto a esté último tomo👉No me ha gustado nada el cómo se ha abordado el tema de la yakuza y el final que se le da a este tema, me parece todo tan inverosímil. Igual que alguna que otra escena jajaja Aun así me he seguido riendo con algunos momentos.
Para mí lo mejor es la construcción y desarrollo de los personajes, igual que su relación. Esto si que me ha gustado de principio a fin 💜
En fin, una pena porque tengo la sensación de que la historia, el desarrollo y el tono del manga daban para un último tomo de 10 y al final me ha parecido el más flojo, y con diferencia. Echare de menos a los macarras🐘🦒

Love this conclusion to the series! My heart!

4.5 stars
I love the way this wrapped up. There's some closure in the bigger plot surrounding these two and it's necessary for the assurance of a happy ending. Which we definitely get. There's so much domestic fluff and joy between these two and together they are a perfect match. This whole series has been a unique mix of tragedy, hilarity, and romance, but it was ultimately a success.

Un final precioso que nos deja una historia redonda. Definitivamente, tengo que hacerle caso a mi amiga Laura más a menudo. Lleva recomendándome este manga mucho tiempo y lo he retrasado demasiado. Este tomo empieza con nuestros protagonistas separados y Akamatsu confuso porque no sabe bien lo que ha pasado. Después se centra en la subtrama de Seven por un par de capítulos y descubrimos muchas cosas de su pasado que no sabíamos y que explican otras tantas del presente. Al final, Akamatsu ejecuta un plan un poco tonto que da resultado y acaban juntos de nuevo. Los últimos capítulos son ellos dos siendo novios empalagosos y la verdad es que vine aquí por eso, no engaño a nadie.
De todo lo bueno de esta serie, yo me quedo con cómo trata el autor las relaciones íntimas entre los protagonistas. Se nota muchísimo que lo ha vivido en primera persona y sabe como funcionan las cosas. Me permito ser un poco gráfico ahora. Yo lo siento, pero las escenas en las que tienes a un dom-top que se cree que el otro es un estuche para su pito me ponen negro. Esto es todo lo contrario, aquí hay comunicación, hay foreplay, lubricante, preservativo, y sobre todo un proceso de aprendizaje por parte de ambos. Es todo lo que está bien.
10/10 a la trilogía en general. Gracias Laura por recomendármela hasta que te he hecho caso ❤.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4...i'm glad we got some context and closure in regards to seven's past but honestly i think i would have enjoyed this wayyyy more if the plot from the very beginning was just seven going around talking to animals and helping them out of silly situations while akamatsu trails after him and tries to come up with a reason for them to hold hands. the small moments of domesticity and companionship were by far my favorite - i'd read another entire volume of just these two learning how to love each other in a way that works for both of them - and i especially liked that akamatsu's dad was neither further demonized nor forgiven by his son. there's an uncomfortable coexistence between them that feels very true to life, and i appreciated that little detail a lot.

So I read the series two times now, and there will be a third for sure. I actually got the urge to even translate this whole thing just for fun (and for myself lol).
I don't know what it is about these three volumes, but it hit my very specific preferences somehow. I was looking for a shonen/seinen style BL manga for a long time now and so far this one was the best. I love the relationship between Seven and Akamatsu and just all in all how they treat each other. Also love the fact that Seven is actually from the Philippines because I haven't seen a lot of characters in manga from other asian countries that aren't bad stereotypes. All in all I loved it!

Una serie bastante divertida y diría un BL bastante inusual, Akamatsu me ha parecido un poco histrionico a veces y la historia da unos saltos temporales que haces que te pierdas un poco, a ratos lo he visto caótico. Lo mejor lo que me he reído con las salidas de tono y comentarios fuera de lugar de Akamatsu y Seven.

Tenía mis dudas tras el anterior tomo, porque tratar un tema tan delicado no es fácil. No creo que lo haya hecho perfecto, pero sin duda mejor que otros libros similares de temáticas parecidas.
La mejor, la escena de fantasía casi pura. Parece relleno, pero mira, no, lo disfruté como un enano.

Macarras y BL es una combinación que me encanta, así que obvio que esta serie me iba a gustar. Me habría gustado ver un poco más de estos dos, pero me gusta que la serie acabe sin alargarse.

Super enjoyed this cute manga series. Be warned of the triggers, although this was cute, it got a bit dark. Overall, I’m so glad I picked these up and the ending was so cute.

I think overall I enjoyed this series.
It was surprisingly dark, but also funny in a ridiculous kind of way.

Aquí igual soy yo la rara, ya que veo que la mayoría están encantados con el desenlace de esta historia... y a mí me ha dejado fría.
Akamatsu y Seven siguen con su encanto particular y su relación mantiene la tónica alocada y descabellada de siempre. Para mí esto es lo que salva este tomo (y la escena del spa, de verdad, que me muero de risa).
Peeeeero, ¿es un buen desenlace? Lo siento, pero, objetivamente hablando, no lo es.
Se nos mete una trama yakuza súper interesante que, sintiéndolo mucho, creo que se les ha quedado grande. Hacía falta más tiempo para desarrollar bien esta trama; el resultado final es precipitado y flojo. Todo se soluciona con demasiada facilidad, como si tal cosa.
Me quedo con el primer volumen, con Akamatsu y Seven como concepto (porque son un par dificíl de olvidar) y con las hermosas ilustraciones que tiene esta historia. Pero es una trama que va de menos a más, que idea una situación dura, oscura y trágica para estropearlo con un remate precipitado que no le hace justicia.

una historia de Boys Love muy diferente a lo que puedes leer por otros mangas. Los protas son divertidos y tienen sus fantasmas. Pero entre los dos se ayudan , apoyan y pueden superar estas historias del pasado. En muchas ocasiones tenía ganas de abrazarlos por lo tiernos que son^^

Representation: gay Japanese protagonist, queer Filipino protagonist, Japanese secondary and tertiary characters.
Content Warning: violence, mention of parental death, drugs, organised crime, mention of attempted rape, mention of abuse.
This last volume was definitely a satisfying conclusion to a beutiful story-arc. Akamatsu and Seven have my heart, and although I wish we could have spent more time with them, I am still quite happy with what we got!

Quina cosa més rara. Tant il•lustra temes delicats super ben explicats, com mostra aspectes molt pertorbadors traient-hi ferro. Molt estranys els canvis de to que van de la nit al dia, barrejant surrealisme amb màxim drama. No sé si n'he acabat massa convençut. Però viciar vicia.
Màxima gràcia que existeixi el subgènere de BL.

It actually ended well, with zero deaths?? 😯 Well, aside from the flashback with Seven's parents (and the guy who ate insects in vol2 but he doesn't count).
Seven goes to work with Takanami reluctantly (he doesn't like the drug connection, especially because it's such a bad offense in Asia) but has no choice because Eight has the upper hand. Meanwhile, Seven asks Hako to pick up his stuff from Akamatsu's place. Akamatsu asks about Seven and we find out more about Seven's past.
His parents are from Cebu; poor folks hoping to earn money by smuggling. (Sachiko the missing monkey is likely a tarsier... I thought she was a dog when they mentioned her in vol 1. But the implication at first was she's an escaped prostitute. She's not.) One time they brought Seven along while sealing a deal, but things got awry and Seven's parents get gunned down by a trigger happy guard-for-hire. When he sees his dead parents, Seven grabs a gun and shoots said guard-for-hire. Impressed, Takasu decides to take him on.
So bruh. Seven is actually Filipino?? What the hell? I wasn't prepared, especially since his features look stereotypical slanty eyed East Asian. (Look, I got teased for how I looked when I was a child and I wasn't even slanty eyed!) Anyway, I have a nitpicky detail: Seven and his family are Filipinos but they lived in Cebu, which means they should have been speaking Cebuano. There's a few lines they say in Tagalog, which would probably piss off some Cebuanos lmao. (I'm Tagalog though.)
Seven's past aside, things get a little tense in Takasu's group as they find out Eight had found Seven + both boys are connected ti Takanami's drug business. The police have also been asking about Eight in relation to that insect dude who died. Takasu then asks Kanzaki if he has something to confess.
I'm kinda surprised Takasu dealt with all of this as efficiently as he did, but I guess it was an honour among thieves kinda thing? He arranged to meet with Takanami's group and settled everything by ... talking. Honestly, there was more chaos in Double Mints. Eight would have to go to jail, but if Seven so desired, he can leave the family and Takasu would cut ties with him completely. Which honestly is fair since Seven became their ward because of their own fault. Seven decides to leave.
Oh also, Akamatsu is there because Hako tells him about the meeting. Akamatsu tries to convince Seven to leave the group in order to enjoy their わくわくチンコライフ (I choked and also Hako trying not to laugh behind Takasu is my favourite thing).
Anyway, Akamatsu tells Seven it really is his decision and goes back home when Seven asks him to. Then Seven sends him a text saying he's coming home. ☺
So the next few chapters is pretty much them enjoying their わくわくチンコライフ... Seven wins tickets for a trip for two at the mountains. They go to a proper inn and take a walk in the woods. That bit is pure SHOOWA chaos. They keep meeting random animals in the nature course and ends up getting trapped in a hanging bridge with a bear?? The bridge collapses and they almost fall down but the animals they met along the way helped them out??? 'What's this Disney scene'????
It all feels like how we need to warm down after some heavy exercise. We're back to them being funny and random and cute, which tbf is what we're here for. We also see them actually talking about and navigating this new development in their relationship.
The sex scene is so awkward and funny and I'm a big fan. It's also very unsexy, but it was totally made for us to see how these two work out in bed. (Seven interrupting and ignoring Akamatsu's talk of him being on the receiving end was funny though.)
All in all I'm really happy with this and I totally recommend to people who like chaotic boys falling in love. The humour is top notch as always. It's actually not as heavy emotion-wise as イベリコ豚, but definitely still packs a punch.
Really looking forward to seeing more of Okujima's BL works if he makes them. 🙏

¿Conocéis el dicho «Los que se pelean, se desean»? Pues en el caso de estos dos macarras se cumple de una forma literal, incluso antes de que ellos lo sepan.
Akamatsu es un joven algo bruto, el pobre, pero le encanta acudir cada día a un parque cerca de su casa para darse de piños con Seven, un chico que, inexplicablemente, ¡vive allí! Así pues, a cambio de que Seven, que es un antiguo miembro de la mafia, le enseñe a defenderse, Akamatsu le propone que se quede en su casa mientras no encuentre nada. ¡Pero lo que va a encontrar es una buena po… sición en su nuevo hogar!
Me gusta que los BL se alejen de los estereotipos. Creo que ya deberíamos pasar página de las relaciones tóxicas que se plantean en muchos de ellos (hola, Junjou Romantica), así como de dejar de pensar que el seme y el uke han de ser indefectiblemente el masculino y el afeminado, el fuerte y el débil. Creedme, hay historias de BL que se alejan de todo esto y resultan frescas, divertidas y originales.
¡Como esta que os traigo hoy! En «Macarras in Love» (puntazo para la traducción de Tomodomo), se rompen bastantes de los clichés de esta demografía. Por un lado, demuestra que se puede ser un macarra algo brutote, pero tener un corazón tierno y ser cariñoso. Además, los roles normalmente preestablecidos se rompen un poco, ya que los dos resultan ser igual de «masculinos». No se representa a ninguno de ellos como si correspondiese al patrón anticuado de «sometido» y, por tanto, débil y más «nena».
Además, esta dupla de autores nos presenta un sinfín de situaciones de lo más divertido que no vais a olvidar con facilidad. En cada tomo vais a hallar gags tremendamente amenos que os harán soltar alguna carcajada. Pero no os confiéis que el drama estará por llegar. El tomo tres se pone algo intensito cuando ahondamos en el complicado pasado de Seven. La resolución, eso sí, es muy interesante ya que Akamatasu, con esa personalidad algo atontada pero muy fiel a los suyos, no se corta a la hora de interponerse en asuntos de la mafia. Esto da pie a una situación tan rocambolesca como hilarante, y el manga incluso se permite a posteriori ponerse un poco fantasioso y recrear un capítulo digno de una película de Disney (muy absurda, eso sí).
Respecto al estilo artístico, casa muy bien con la obra. El trazo es efectivo, a pesar de su sencillez. Los personajes poseen rasgos angulosos y afilados, algo muy acorde a sus personalidades y formas de comportarse. En las escenas de acción, se palpa muy bien el dinamismo de los golpes y se sigue muy bien la coreografía. Además, el dibujo no duda en mostrar expresiones más exageradas cuando busca el gag y la risa del lector.
En definitiva, si buscáis una obra original, divertida y en la que la trama romántica se cocine muy lentamente, pero de forma constante, no lo dudéis ni un solo instante. «Macarras in Love» os conquistará, y no le hará falta usar la violencia. ¿Verdad, Akamatsu?

Okay so i didn't know the series was going to be finished this volume, like reading it in the beginning felt kind of like an ending type of thing, and not gonna lie i was hoping ti would run for at least maybe like another volume or two but nope 3 volumes all together i guess.
I would've rated it with five stars if the scene with the resort and animals wasn't there, or maybe keep the resort but like make them have sex their, i was kind of hoping it would go like that.
Honeslty though after the whole animals on the trail thing i kind of fell out of it. i was reading it and it felt so weird and rushed afterwards. Don't get me wrong the ending was great, i wanted them to stick together, to be together, but I dunno that whole things towards the end,getting near the end, i mean even the sex scene of him losing his virginity was so weird. Kind of cringe not gonna lie. But the chaptes after that were okay, i liked those.
It just seems like something that needed at least one more volume.
Overall i liked the seires, didn't know it was going to be dealing with drugs and murder and such, i wish they flushed out eights character a bit more because honestly if i'm being truthful overall the story was great, the plot felt a bit all over the place in this volume, and also it seemed a bit fast paced.
I mean when he said "two months have passed" i was like "huh, it only feels like a couple of weeks", i felt like things were pretty rushed. I wish things were more flushed out.
