Lauvil's manga / #BDSM(60)

Slight BDSM, but mostly just a bit of D/s. Torao's boss is really naggy and he doesn't like him very much. Not until he catches him masturbating as he receives a a call from work, scolding him. Having worked for a prostitution service that offered domination to their clients, he immediately spots his boss's tendency as a sub and takes the opportunity to have sex with him. This is also when he discovers that Niwa used to be one of his clients. Niwa fell for him back then, but Torao's dismissive attitude kept him from confessing. So, even though they start physical relationship, he still doesn't dare to confess. As his feelings become undeniable, Torao also becomes aware of his own feelings. The misunderstand is a bit forced. Torao could tell from the beginning that Niwa had a thing for him, even if the latter denied it, so I don't know why he doesn't just confess. Likewise with Niwa. His partner repeatedly ask if he likes him, acts jealous and possessive, so I don't understand why he's so adamant about keeping his feelings a secret from him - even going so far as to lie about liking someone else... They are both oblivious idiots... But, oh well. The smut is hot and consensual and the characters are cute despite being dumb.

The MC's are childhood friends, going back to Elementary school. The seme is a cliché cold hearted guy, who is good at everything except sympathizing with others. He doesn't get along with other people, except for the Uke. The uke is a charismatic, friendly air-headed guy, who managed to befriend the seme exactly bc of said personality. The uke has had a crush on his friend for years (and most likely vise versa) but has hidden it well, so far (maybe). They live together and suddenly begin a BDSM relationship bc of the most trivial reason: A misdelivered package. It's really random how they all of a sudden begin doing BDSM stuff together just bc the uke found a pair of handcuffs that were supposed to be delivered to the seme. They have supposedly hidden their feelings for each other for years, yet that's all it takes for them to step over that boundary. I read it for the smut and BDSM, though. So while it's unrealistic and silly, I try to overlook it and just enjoy the parts I came to read.

This is a nope for me. The ML is condescending and the FL is too hung up on a jackass who doesn't love her back. I hoped it would be femdom, since her husband cheated and went to a BDSM club to satisfy masochistic tendencies. But for some reason he's the Dom in their relationship, which makes ZERO sense.

Cute couple. Healthy communication around sex. Soft BDSM; Spanking, teasing, bondage, Dom/sub.
