dynamic: younger, cheeky seme + Hijikata-like uke + more serious seme he doesn’t get along with at first nothing too special but i enjoyed myself! a good generic love triangle if you want something familiar. the jealousy scenes were really satisfying and my betting horse won so i’m happy :)

copied from initial read: oh wow thete’s a lot to take in it’s /really/ good and went BEYOND my expectations. it’s full of drama and a plot. the thing is i did get bothered by how often the uke gets raped by other guys that rlly pissed me off probably would never reread like it’s intriguing cause of problematic and controversial themes but ehhhh it rlly is emotionally heavy the mains switch but not with each other it was kinda annoying but tolerable enough

︎ seme is a yandere. a little lofty, but still insane. ✑ strong-willed uke who never really gives in. i enjoyed this! the sex scenes are few but despite the art not being my cup of tee, man were they hot.

it was . ok tbh lol it wasnt amazing wanted the author to top so ouch pain pighati last chap is reverse (not position lol i meant pages)

harada is an incredibly dark artist, that’s no secret. this story is as dark as can be and has brought me to start questioning things. i’ve always been very open when it comes to fiction but i suppose to mindset presented in this work in particular makes me question some stuff. not really in a “this work is bad!” type of way but on the author itself. i can’t really tell if it’s their mindset or just exploration. when this story talks about a relationship being wrong, i wonder whether they’re talking about the pedophilia aspect or the fact they’re gay. nonetheless, it was an incredibly frightening read. very good work!! i think fiction is meant to make you feel something but that something doesn’t have to be good.
