For all the smaller annoyances, I can't overstate how much I've enjoyed this manga until now. The premise isn't exactly new, but I genuinely feel like it takes its time building the relationship and I LOVE the characters, especially Tsuwabuki. His absolute fear of making clear requests or stating his wished is such a realistic portrayal of someone who's used to being berated for wanting things, and I simply adore his "fluffy doggo, who's taller than seme" visual and him being a strong dude, without going full bara.
Shuro is also surpsingly well done, not your typical serial rapist turns lover but it genuinely feels like he want Tsuwabuki to like him from the start, I honestly doubt he even would have touched him if he was refused during their first time.
I understand most of the criticism I've seen but overall the work is really refreshing and I'm super intrigued by where this will go. (even love the fact they already stated it's not going to be mpreg, I almost expected that, lol)
