Jimmy was pickpocketing when he got caught by an ex-cop, Reese. When Reese decided not to turn Jimmy in and put him up a job in his workplace, Jimmy fall for him. Jimmy seduced Reese and he fall for him but some misunderstandings happened but they eventually got together. Even though I like the artwork, the storyline was just too plain, the conflict was not engaging enough and for me, seems too shallow. Reese falling in love with Jimmy was just too easy, I mean I get it if it's Jimmy since he's young. I don't get the point of Reese's partner death in this story. Wasn't it supposed to be somewhat a flaw for Reese? A traumatic experience that hindered him to have a life, let a lone a relationship? There's a potential to this manga but unfortunately a potential conflict was underutilized. That one page of Reese in police uniform was hot but not enough to safe this manga.
