That is not how stockholm works
Hm I feel like saying that yuu has Stockholm is not entirely correct, they tried to go their separate ways and Takemada changed, apologized and deleted the photos (I'm not saying that makes it acceptable, but that the blackmail element has been gone for a while) even if it's definitely not realistic this story seems to make sense in the way things worked out without making it too absurd. As the most non sense part of the story is Yuu forgiving Takemada, that the story excuses as Yuu just being too good lol besides that the plot is really good in showing Takemada trying to own up to his mistakes and try to make sense of his crush. Its definitely not the most sound relationship lol but the characters took the effort of equally changing for each other
ahhh lmao i know i know im just trying to compare it to something since their relationship was definitely not double sided at first and it was very dependent on blackmail and whatnot
the complete 180 this took was definitely not expected but is very welcomed i do hope they bring back some of the bdsm elements like they did some chapters ago, but i love the gentleness and fluff just as much. it's sweeter knowing what they've been through (though yeah it's like blackmail and yu was kinda stockholm syndromed in to it /sigh)
