Yes, their starting dynamic was messed up. It will always be messed up, and ugly and disgusting but they’re both aware of that, and are accepting of it. I think this story was really well thought out and their feelings are twisted in a sense, yet really heart provoking. It was a really good read, so I’m a bit confused as why some people didn’t understand the story because I personally thought it was really fleshed out. I even started crying one the second last chapter because my heart truly broke for these two. Perhaps they skimmed through the story, but just be aware this manga is also tagged as psychological.
