Okay let's start with the good things: the art's breathtaking. It's so so so pleasant to look at, I can't even. The color palette's also really nice. Yuri's really beautiful (well, on the outside at least, I love red hair and green eyes combo) and I liked how there are more layers to him than meets the eye. And the bad things: How Yuri treated the "ugly" guy, I fucking hate that forcing yourself on someone trope, yuck. He also kept calling him ugly and was crazy jealous all the time. All the other couples were boring af, I kinda dropped this while reading the last 20 chapters. None of the couples actually has a healthy relationship and Yuri even said something like:"I'm a man so I can't control myself." Sorry but wtf. Two stars come from occasional emotional moments and pretty art.

Alright listen. I know basically everyone loves this and at first this seemed really promising. Pretty art, interesting and complex characters, a promising setting... BUT then some icky stuff started to happen. I actually suspected it from the beginning considering their height difference (because usually in these kinds of mangas it's a huge s*me/uk* factor unfortunately lol). Basically the bigger guy is way too overprotective and posessive and the smaller one really passive :/ So it's a no for me.
