Great for re-reads. Amazing seme, amazing uke, constant C O N S E N T and a wonderful portrayal of loving rope-play. Some "Master~" calling, but done deeply lovingly without them ever feeling subservient. Wonderful "love yourself" message that was small and sweet, but whatever. Sad backstory for Seme yakuza, but he is so goddamn loving, it's insane XDXD No stupid misunderstandings between them and are always loving, even while not in a relationship, but fucking. So all in all, fucking phemomenal couple with wonderful balance between the characters. Definitely recomend for re-reads and is short enough for a one-sitter, though recomend a cut-off in the middle. Just always remember everything will turn out fine, and enjoy the sweetness of the seme while the rope artist goes full batshit "FEEL THE LOVE YOU DESSERVE OF YOURSELF" on him and it's heartwarning. But not in a deep way to make you cry. Light and upfront story, with nice deepness to it.

This was amazing. There was some unrequited love at the beginning, but done tastefully and I liked how stalkerish the blondie, pining seme was. I liked how the whole time it was an open secret with the readers that the uke does actually love the stalker seme back and just wants to protect him. That was something that was beautifully set up by the opening words thought by the uke, about how he wishes to push away those closest to him. The story's turn into the newcomer who was also pining after the uke (after he'd gotten together with the seme already) was quite sudden, that could have been set up a bit more so that the story flowed from volume 1 smoothly into volume 2, but vol 2 genuinely ruled. The characters were still the exact same people, it ended the story by coming full-circle by also ending it with the uke's innermost thoughts, so well done there. It felt very cohesive, apart from the sudden shift into vol 2. Anyway, got so excited when I saw it had 2 volumes, it looked like a phenomenal story and it was. 5/5, def good for a rr. The relationship was quite sweet.
