The small-animal book thing doesn't sound like a self-aware joke. It sounds like extreme infantalization/woobifying of the uke (he's as delicate as a soft small bunny!!), which is typical of most yaoi.

I can tell you haven't read the manga.

The joke was pretty clear to me. Kanou does the woobification thing at Ayase and then it fails because Ayase isn't a small animal and treating him like one doesn't work. That's the whole point.

The story is pointing out that all Kanou had to do was find out what Ayase actually likes, like books with cute animals in them, to make him happy. But Kanou is dumb enough to assume there are Rules and How Ukes Should Act and stuff like that, and he's wrong. He's pointedly wrong and the audience is supposed to laugh at him for not getting it.

I never claimed to have read it, it's just that this doesn't sound like an example of being self-aware or challenging yaoi tropes. It just sounds like "Haha the uke is a sweet and beautiful mystery of pure innocence that the seme will never be able to fathom" which is pretty standard.

Self-aware would be like... the seme giving him a book about small animals and the uke using the info he found in the book to go hunt and kill a small animal and cook it for dinner.

This is a lot of arguing for a manga I've never read. I admit I"m feeling contrarian. I'm kinda curious to read some of this and see if I see the self-awareness you did.

Trust me, there is no self-awareness to be found. This anon is reaching absolutely into the stratosphere to try and justify this book as having some mythical "self awareness" that it doesn't. Ayase is your typical dumb uke. Kaoru is your typical "rape is love and I'm rewarded for it" seme. There is no ~self-parodying~ at all. It's played straight in the series, not as a "wink wink nod nod" to viewers/readers/etc. It's a piece of shit. If you happen to like that piece of shit? Fine. But own up to it being horrible. I like plenty of dumb, stupid shit myself but I'm not going to fart on you and call it perfume either.
