I adooooooreeee this but am scared for Taisei my sweet innocent munchkin! He is sooooo innocent it's scary! He is one of those characters that gets hurt and nobody is even there to protect him! Even tho he has lotsssss of friends. Ugh! I just hope his feelings won't be dragged around and get hurt unnecessarily!
I mean, I'd love to have more lovey dovey moments between the two MC but I guess it'll ruin the overall mood of the story. This was def not fluffy. I would agree that there is psychological element to this. And this was close to real life situation. From the way the parents would avoid a taboo topic being discussed with their children to spare them from being "corrupted", to internalized homophobia and childhood trauma.
I wouldn't put this in my so called balanced stories where the struggles equals the happy ending because man, all those years of struggling within themselves was hard to read emotionally. Then you only get one chapter where everything was resolved. I mean, seriously! However, somehow, in this story, the ending was satisfying. And I think this is because the struggles the two of them had, especially Shiina, were understandable on some level. Like, you knew he was blind in his ways and even if you wanted for him to be aware of what he was doing, there was no one in his life who could've shown him how. Until his boss inadvertently opened his eyes to his faults. And there was the uke who was so lost on how to deal with his feelings, he thought it was okay to have an affair with a married woman. Then there was also their stubbornness wherein they pushed each other away because they thought being in a relationship together would only make the other unhappy. It was really frustrating.
But! Towards the end, when everything was falling in right place, it was awesome. Like, everything makes sense kind of awesome. Things happened because something had made it so. The struggles they experienced was real and it lead them where they were. I wish most of these genre/type of stories were made this way.
They better do some fan service and give us more chapters just full of lovey dovey stuff!!!! This is just the start of the good times!!!!! Riiight???????????????? I think?!!!!!!! Pleaaaseee sensei!!!!!
