Very of it's time, but a unique representation of a sub-culture that has more sense of realism than a lot of yaoi. It may be extreme at times, but there is a lot of communication, safety and respect. The characters despite "swinging" and certain social attitudes, do show commitment to each other as couples. There isn't any cheating or rape, so in a way it's far more wholesome than a lot of modern webtoons that show the two MC's relationship actually involving rape and psychological abuse. At the time of this manga, there was the AID's crisis and little legal rights even in the USA, as context.
