7(+1) Chapters Kurama is in the closet due to his homophobic father, but fantasies about having sex with men (particularly his kouhai, Kirishima). Through a series of complex interactions, Kirishima ends up forcing himself on Kurama, who is traumatized and leaves school because of it. Kurama is then further assaulted by one of his theatre club members and taken to the hospital, where he's forced to come clean about his sexuality to his father. Three years later, Kurama and Kirishima reencounter eachother and carry on an extremely unhealthy, borderline abusive relationship, which is treated as "normal". It ends with a pseudo happy ending where you're just kind of left to ignore how bad the two main characters are for eachother and how dubious the consent is when they have their goddamn marathon sex. I don't know why all the tags are so positive. This doesn't have any real romance in it. It's just bad and the "adorable" "uwu" "romance" tags make me feel pretty disgusted.
