YOOOO. Character with a speech disability!! Characterization is fantastic for both Seme and Uke. I love that the Seme was put in his place about what it means to have a disability. It's very easy to misunderstand the more 'invisible' disabilities like speech impediments, so manga takes the time to educate people by showing what stutterers face on a daily basis. In this case, Uke has a stutter and he is a sensitive person. Thus, he was never treated in a way that maximized his potential, leading him to also develop social anxiety. To be clear, Uke does not have a stutter as a result of social anxiety, but has social anxiety from being mistreated for having a stutter.

#Uke has shame and humiliation kink #Uke gets off on dangerous situations #Uke has high self-hatred #Seme comes along to give aftercare following sex #Shows seme that uke deserves respect and to be treated with love #Uke was raped and in abusive relationship #Suicide attempt at end by uke's ex #Protective seme #Insecure uke #Tough seme and uke #Police force #Detective Also, gdi, the smut here is good. The relationship between Uke and Seme are good. The portrayal, plot, and characterization is good. Ex-partner guy saying "I love you" & "Can you compensate me for the crime of making me live?" were MEMORABLE. Also, the fact that Seme has a bullet wound on abdomen from saving Uke & then later, Uke gets bullet wound on thigh from saving Seme...that was gahdang poetic. :') The only thing I don't quite get was how Seme ended up getting his shame-and-humiliation kink. I think Uke's partner was the 'friend' that guy in chp 3 talked about, where the rape of Uke was alluded to. So he took advantage of Uke's sex addiction to start abusive relationship.

#Dacryphilia #Seme comes onto uke because of his tears #So dubcon is there #But uke consents to sleeping with seme #So no rape yayayayayyyy #Uke was cheated on by his ex #Ex was also very pushy in wanting to get back with uke #Pretty sure uke and ex had abusive and/or toxic relationship #Also please do not do what uke does and follow a stranger home xD #Uke be glad that it was seme jfcljf;ejf Oh. Oh wow. Just. Wow. I'm not expert nor do I have any experience with it, but I feel like this is a great representation of people who experience sexual addictions. The way Seme's guilt and shame permeated in every aspect of his person's life, which lead to isolation, was freaking heartbreaking. It showed just how much he was in need of someone who made him feel human, but there was no one there to help him deal with it. There was no one there with whom he could be truthful and that just worsened his feelings of ostracization. What really killed me was how wholly Uke accepted Seme. I was just. He understood that there was some physiological reaction to Seme's dacryphilia and, in the context of their relationship, even came to love Seme's love for tears. For Uke, it was like a representation of what brought them together and he felt at home whenever Seme licked away his tears. This full-hearted acceptance is what helped Seme differentiate between the sexual arousal for Uke's tears and the genuine love he felt for Uke, tears included. This was really great to read. :')
