Ten Count Volume 1

Product Information

This is still an ongoing work, mind you, so I'm careful not to have a very definitive opinion about the narrative just yet although I must say that this has a very promising premise and it might have been a more compelling, emotionally mature read if it was published as a josei work and not simply a yaoi material.

Not only it is rare in manga, which can attract many sympathetic readers, it’s also a perfect fetish for yaoi with poor consent standards, because a mysophobe is necessary mindful of touch, follows a set of rituals, and there’s the possibility of increased sensitivity, explored in Ten Count in form of Shirotani’s skin being damaged from overwashing. Basically, you get a character who remembers where and when he is touched with ridiculous scrupulousness and meltdowns because of it. It’s a lot to play with!

Let me also stress that I adore the drawing of hands in this manga, poor Shirotani with his gloves and sore hands is believable (and the gloves are drawn very nicely) and in general they are drawn in a realistic way, with believable movement, and avoids the dreaded yaoi hand syndrome. And where does it the "shounen-ai" listing appear? As far as I'm aware, it's tagged as the very general "Boys Love" that MAL recently introduced..(that tag is attached to both hentai titles like Mori no Kuma-san, Toumin-chuu. and shounen-ai titles like Sasaki to Miyano) Loveridge, Lynzee (August 17, 2013).

I stumble on it in every second list, and seeing it always reminds me of my disappointment. It made me feel lost. Why build such an enticing premise only to dissolve it in stereotypes later? Truly, the thing that is the most violated in this manga is probably not uke’s ass, but the hope for good story built in the early chapters. With number 10 on the list left blank by an undecided Shirotani, Kurose issues a challenge. Once Shirotani figures out the last item, the thing he would hate to do the most, only then will his newfound counselor finally tell him the truth.Un giorno, un segretario di nome Shirotani si imbatte per caso in un giovane di nome Kurose, il quale si accorge che lui è affetto da misofobia e rupofobia. The beginning of Ten Count sets ground for a great psychological yaoi playspace. Shirotani, the “uke” main character, is older, put together, but traumatized; he is a client for the therapist “seme”, which puts him in a protected position. The whole situation is ambiguous, it’s unclear whether the goal is to help him or to groom him, which adds to the thrill. Though, by the way, I would also call this the most questionable part of the manga. Rapey yaoi, which Ten Count also belongs to, is many and habitual, but problematizing therapy is new and dangerous. This is porn, but it's important to talk about mental health with care. Shinnosuke Tachibana ( Kamisama Hajimemashita) and Tomoaki Maeno ( Hitorijime My Hero) are reprising their role from the Drama CD as Tadaomi Shirotani and Riku Kurose, respectively. Shirotani is the personal assistant to the president of a major corporation. He's a germophobe, but does good enough work that the people he works with are willing to overlook it. He has a chance encounter with Kurose, a therapist who offers to work with him to overcome his phobia. The core of this process is a list of ten actions of increasing difficulty (for a germophobe) that Shirotani must perform--in his own time, when he feels ready--before he will consider himself cured. Number 10 has been left blank for now, but I'm sure it will be filled in by the end of the series. There's some mystery as to why exactly Kurose is helping him, but I'm sure we'll know by the end etc. There seem to be (ba bump) feelings for each other on both sides of this potential relationship ...

Archived from the original on 2020-04-09. La misofobia è una patologia che si manifesta con il terrore del contatto con lo sporco, per cui chi ne soffre evita qualsiasi tipo di contaminazione, cadendo nella cosiddetta rupofobia, cioè nel disturbo ossessivo-compulsivo di lavarsi di continuo le mani. In an epilogue, Kurose quits his clinic job to study for a doctorate in psychology. Shirotani, having completed the list, has significantly alleviated the symptoms of his mysophobia. Kurose admits that he was lying when said that completing the list would cure Shirotani's mysophobia, and proposes a second list to make amends: a list of ten actions that Shirotani wishes for Kurose to do.
