I really don't get why people are hating on this anime so much! Maybe they don't get the wuxia theme jokes. Yes, quite a few jokes are about him being a virgin. But it's more than that. He has a goddamned seal on his d*** to make sure that he remains pure and has good cultivation. And the way it's discussed is funny. I, for one, enjoyed every second of the comedy aspect of this show. I have to say season 2 is remarkably better than season 1.
The fights are AWESOME! I love them. Especially in season 2. I was really impressed with how
...
varied the character design was and how even the characters in supporting roles get so much attention and even their own ending credit songs sometimes.
In my opinion, people are not judging the anime as a standalone but comparing it to other great animes in a completely different genre and whining about how it's not like them. I mean, keep watching those anime. Why you gotta complain about how OP the lead is? I mean, aren't the leads supposed to have golden fingers that make them all-powerful? Gah!
Anywho, I loved the art, music, fight choreo, story, characters, everything! It was a welcome surprise to me after Mo Zo Dao Shi. It's definitely not as good as MZDS. But I enjoyed binge-watching 2 seasons in 2 days.

One word: MIND-FUCK.
Do not read this manga if you are not accustomed to reading about rape, abuse, manipulation, and every twisted kink concept on the face of earth. It's all in there.
Honestly, they should write this into the synopsis. I started reading this thinking it would be like Gakuen Heaven with some BDSM in it, but holy fucking hell! It's not what I was expecting or prepared for. I think I'm ruined for life. I can't unsee it now.
Before you bash me, yes, I read the whole thing that was published until now to see what the deal was, why it was
...
in the top 10. I couldn't find a reason. Yes, towards the end, there is humor and the characters fit each other in their own weird way...But still, that's no excuse to ignore RAPE!
I kept trying to find redeeming qualities. Yes, the art is good. The sex...meh. It didn't do anything for me considering how frequently it was portrayed. The humor...yes, some scenes were funny. However, the rape, the twisted logic, the group think...IT SCARS YOU FOR LIFE. There are more cons than pros for reading this.
You guys betrayed me by putting this up so high in the rankings. I wish I could erase this from my mind. I wish I'd never read it!

Let me start with a caveat. I read the reviews here first and then started reading Ten Count. So, I was initially not happy with the dominating seme and forcing...may be coercion is a better word for it...that is depicted in Ten Count. However, I couldn't get the story out of my mind. It really hits you in your heart. So, I wondered if I was missing something and I read it again.
And here's my opinion. A lot of the reviewers here focus on the BL trope and maybe they're sick of it. But in this story, I believe it truly was a part
...
of their dynamic. I'm sure no modern-day 26 year-old would wait 6 months to have sex and even longer to kiss. The main character never advertised himself as a saint. But he showed extraordinary resolve in waiting as long as he did. If it was left up to the protagonist, they'd never touch. So, I think coaxing him to feel pleasure and trying to give him a different perspective because he truly loves his partner is miles away from the blatant disregard of consent shown in other BL manga.
I would implore any new reader to set aside any preconceived notions about the manga and truly try to experience the anticipation and angst that is depicted beautifully in this manga. I've read it 3 times and all 3 times, I ended up crying because of how beautifully they fit together. They need each other. It's almost painful to imagine how much.
Story: 10/10
As I said before, I didn't like the coercion the first time I read this manga, but after re-reading it, for the characters, it makes sense. Because from the first volume itself, Shirotani's heart races every time they meet. I think the author was trying to show that if he really didn't want to push his boundaries, he wouldn't be with someone who says he can't control himself around him. I also really enjoyed reading about their troubled pasts. It was messy, uncomfortable and very sad which is how life is. I found it very realistic.
Art: 10/10
This is the best art I've seen in yaoi manga. Especially the detail in their hands. It was so delicate and beautiful.
Character: 8/10
Although there are fleeting moments when the main characters actually have fun and show some spirit, like the aquarium scene with the penguins and meeting Ueda-san at the cafe, I feel like it could've been explored more. We don't see enough of it. Although the smut was great, it was too much compared to the little character development we see towards the end. So the last 2 volumes were a little out-of-balance for me. I do think it may be because the author was sick and produced very short chapters toward the end. However, I like that not everything was resolved and their relationship was still a work-in-progress at the end. It would be very unrealistic to see everything resolved for an OCD patient within a year of meeting someone new.
Enjoyment: 10/10
I read it 3 times. Every time I read it, I realize something new. It really is a poignant story. Not because of the porn. But because of the painful, ordinary conversations between people that make you cry. My favorite scenes are Kurose's past, the 'Please don't throw me away' scene, 'I guess your tears are contagious' scene, Nishigaki scene, and their beautiful first kiss.
Overall: 9/10
There is coercion in this manga, yes. But it fits with the premise of the manga. Even after they have sex, Kurose shows incredible consideration for Shirotani's condition. He does wait for 6 months. He stops being his doctor within 3 weeks of meeting him. There are reviewers who misrepresent him by saying he's a psychopath, unethical and a stalker *rolling my eyes*. Every time he met Shirotani was either a coincidence or previously agreed upon. He stops talking to him for months on end to give him space sometimes or because he didn't want to take advantage of his trust. And within a month, he tells his true feelings and is very straight-forward. So if Shirotani really didn't want to pursue the relationship, all he had to do was cut ties with him and not show up to their next meeting. I really don't understand the reviewers who say it's borderline rape. Because they assume that a 31 year-old male is somehow a helpless damsel in distress. -_- Anyway, I just wanted to write about my experience because this manga is bashed on many unwarranted grounds. I love it and I'm sure many more people will love this delicate little world too.
