P: It follows the lifelong relationship between Kain Walker, a New York cop who has hidden his homosexuality, and his younger blond boyfriend, Mel Frederics, an orphan with a troubled past.
O: This is complicated, not my type tbh. Rereading... Wow I can't believe I put this off for so long - mostly because of the art and heavy story. Although it is not a typical manga I read, this was very good... I am glad I gave this another try. Feels more like shounen ai than yaoi tbh. I feel for Mel :( I was pissed at Kain at the start, but it was nice to stick around and see his character development. Sad but good ending. For clarification rape wasn't btwn main couple, Mel got raped a lot. This manga addresses issues of homophobia and dark topic e.g. suicide attempt, rape C1 - Kain?? C2 - yikes so much went down in this chapter C3 - bruhhh Kain really be cheating on Mel??? Ik Josh is a model but bruh... what happened to Kain sincerely bringing Mel to see his parents??? Can't believe Kain did it with Josh, even though he is jealous of him??? Bruh Cain really is just talking casually to Josh again?? Wow... I feel like Kain is gonna let the secret slip... Ahh, it's nice to see Kain being more understanding of Mel. I feel like one of them will be killed at the end prob because of Kain's job since it's risky C4 - oh man that sucks for Kain.. Davis has such a cliche reaction C5 - bruh Kain is so hotheaded. OMFG I knew Cain would let Mel's secret slip :/ Ok ngl it made me tear up seeing Kain's mum slowly opening her heart towards Kain and Mel's relationship, so lovely C6 - oh no Gersh :( C7 - Brian: "Don't die out there" Bruh I don't have a good feeling. Wtf... what happened to Mel??? Did he get threatened? Why did he not tell Kain he's gone? Omfg this happened the day after their wedding too :( C8 - wait what if Mel committed a crime or sth as unlikely as it seems?? Or someone is pretending Mel is dead. C9 - aghhh it's that sus dude that asked Mel for the time in C7!! Bruh why does Mel have to go through so much shit :( C11 - wait was this this old manga where one guy was a police officer and other a criminal??? probably thinking of wrong manga C13 - this is inappropriate but it's kinda funny when the artist does the shake shock realisation panel C14 - WTF Luna is Joey's sister?!?! Oml Luna, Mel and Kain are ok now?? C15 - man I feel so bad for Mel :( So glad everything turned out well though C16 - wahhh that ending... bittersweet? :( C17 - ok this chapter was not related at all to the main story, but it was still kinda depressing. 3-->5
