I was so hooked on with the first volume but the second wasn't as good. kinda rushed, and Nick is not someone without feelings the author could have put some work on this side of nick. Was a okay story. THE ART IS GORGEOUS. u know sometimes when I read mangas I understand better the style of certain author who wrote manwha lol

    Yeah honestly, it almost feels like the two volumes are about two different stories. I loved the first one and how unhinged it was. They were both self-sabotaging and it was well-written. And then in the second volume, it feels like the story has turned into this fluffy story. I think the problem is that the switch was not well fleshed-out between volume 1 and 2. It was so sudden and we did not get much development before they suddently changed. Nick became so one-dimensional, Theo became this puppy seme and Louis became this cinderella-like character. Even the art got softer (I love when the author draws older men - vol 1 was yummy). Quite disappointing actually :(

    you're so right I thought I was tripping cuz the (sorry it's been a while can't remember any names) uke ????? his body looked like the body of a teen kinda? he wasn't buff but looked like a man's body u feel me? Even his hair. At the end he looked like a fragile author kinda, u know what I mean ? In the first volume I was like yeah looks like he can swing it if he need too but yeah kinda disappointed

    Totally! In the first volume, he was a nice middle-aged man who looked tired and fed up with life (my fav). But by the end of vol 2, he was this generic slim uke. I noticed that in their recent work, the author has changed their artstyle compared to their early work. Maybe the change started in this series ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
