So much angst and pain for Yuuto, and so much misunderstanding because both uke and seme think its better to hold back. But I do wish the older brother was shown to be more affected - he just seems to smile stiffly through most of the pages, no blushes, no painfully wierd face to show how much he loved the uke and was holding back, just some sighs and then boom, last 2 chapters went rather fast. I would have liked to have seen the seme's perspective too, and more of the relationship fleshed out.
There were many things not literally said in this manga but that was what made it so beautiful. I loved how Lucas was so patient with Souhei, reading him well, pushing and motivating him but taking a step back where needed, and ultimately showing Souhei how to love and trust again and opening up his world. I liked Souhei's well-paced character development - how he slowly showed his vulnerable side to Lucas, and how his growing affection for Lucas showed up in quiet nuances, loving glances. And for me, Akihiro played a pivotal role by being the mirror of how Lucas treated Souhei. One was so selfish and wanted to keep Souhei bound in chains, and the other helped to set him free and made him happy. 5 stars from me.
The amount of sexual tension got me fanning myself lots, they are both so damn attractive and so attracted to each other, I wanna be a fly on the wall in the room with them, uWu
