I think this manga is simply badly written with a big MESSED UP banner over it. The characters don't have texture in personality. Having a dark past is not equal to having depth. And it's funny how that baggage they carried got resolved in less than two pages lol totally rushed. The story itself is so simple that it couldve been done in at least two volumes, but it kept going on for the smut. But the smut isn't that creative as well, what a downer. I think this manga doesn't prove anything about change or getting better, it simply shows the S/M relationship between the two. If you think otherwise, you're romanticizing it too much.
