ironparameters's manga / #communication? know it and love it(3)

- Heartbroken guy yeets himself into trash, piquing the interest of an ex-classmate (now av actor), who takes him to his house. Actor guy becomes infatuated with mr. heartbroken and they start an intimate relationship, but mr. heartbroken's past trauma presents a threat to their burgeoning feelings... - good! I liked this, especially because of the communication and the health of their relationship. No power imbalances, totally mutual. Why am I only giving it four stars, then? The premise is hurt/comfort, but while reading it I was kept on edge by the expectation that something was going to go wrong, that something would happen that would really trigger the comfort. In reality, it came in short waves (which is good and cool), but it felt sort of unsettling reading it because I thought actor guy was going to be a villain. Definitely good for repeat readthroughs, though.

absolutely lovely manga. real breath of fresh air from the usual a/b/o fare.
