Not Equal (Manga) | comment |
Not Equal is a Boys' Love manga written and illustrated by Ike Reibun. The manga is notable for featuring an incestuous romance not between siblings, half-siblings, or cousins, but between a son and his own biological father.The story starts with Ryou Ashizuka, whose parents have divorced ever since he was a child, deciding to go and meet his estranged father, Konomi Suetsugu.While at his father's house, Ryou accidentally trips his foot in the backyard and all of a sudden, he finds himself being brought back in time to 20 years ago, where he yet again encounters his now much-younger father.While trying to adapt to his situation and find a way to get back to his own time, Ryou takes the opportunity to get to know more about his father and they soon begin to form a bond. Some bonds, however, turn out to be able to transcend time; and on rare occasions, they can even transcend familial boundaries... | |

May–December Romance: This is a given, considering that the protagonists are father and son. More specifically, they have an age gap of at least 20 years. | |

Sick Episode | |
Not Equal (Manga) / int_25f33d8 | comment |
Sick Episode: An extra chapter has Ryou catch a cold, though the chapter is less about him trying to get better and more about him reflecting on a time when he and Konomi tried to keep their distance and maintain a strictly familial relationship even though it was evident that they still had feelings for one another. | |

Not Equal (Manga) / int_28cd01ca | comment |
Disappeared Dad: Since Ryou's parents divorced when he was still very young, he lived with his mother all his life, and remembers seeing his father only once. The whole plot started because he wished to resolve this issue. | |

Stable Time Loop: In spite of Ryou messing with certain events by romancing Konomi when the latter was still a teenager, his actions do not end up undoing his own existence since Konomi would still marry his wife due to her resemblance to Ryou. | |

Love Hurts | |
Not Equal (Manga) / int_424d15ad | comment |
Love Hurts: The fact that you're deeply in love with your own parent or child is not easy to digest. This is even worse for Konomi, who only realized twenty years later that the man he slept with is actually his son, unlike Ryou, who knew of their relationship the entire time and still continued to pursue Konomi nonetheless. | |

Gayngst: Understandable though, since the lead characters are father and son. While they're deeply in love with each other, they know that a relationship between them would be the highest form of taboo. | |

Unresolved Sexual Tension | |
Not Equal (Manga) / int_50ca4422 | comment |
Unresolved Sexual Tension: Very much evident in the second volume, since after Ryou is brought back to the present time, Konomi is horrified to realize that the Ryou he fell in love with is actually his own son. This greatly strains their relationship, but it quickly is made clear to the reader that they are not able to truly let go of each other, and in the end, they finally decide to be together, consequences be damned. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Ryou eventually resolves to do this in chapter 7 by no longer pursuing his feelings for his father. Although it's obvious that he is hurting by this decision, and unknowingly to him, so is Konomi. | |

Older Than He Looks: In the present time, Konomi is about 37 years old (at least during the first volume), yet can be mistaken for someone way younger. His youthful features are even lampshaded a few times in the manga. | |
