Idk maybe its bc I enjoyed shima's story so much that I like this one by extension lol but I like the more mature vibe these stories have. Theres a seriousness to them that I appreciate. It's refreshing after so many 1 dimensional goofy/simple/only porn bl stories I feel almost as if this one is a little more, like just a little bit more, realistic.
That doesnt bother me. He was single, he had no obligation to be celibate. Honestly it is far more unrealistic that an adult would stay celibate just because they love someone knowing that someone most likely wont ever love them back. I appreciate the realism and that's one of the reasons this story seems a little more adult than other BLs I've read
I dunno i love this story and shima's story and the live action movie < sweetest thing ever.....I think I've read their stories like 3 times already
