This story is phenomenal, but you need to completely turn off yaoi brain to appreciate it. If you think scenes of Takara alone are stalling for romantic moments, you won't like this. If you dislike Aki, because she had sex with Takara, this story just isn't for you. The story is fundamentally about their relationship, but you need to appreciate how that relationship affects them as individuals and their surroundings.
