(Former) criminal (seme) x college student (uke)
My rating: 8/10
It's a bit special bc the characters feel so real. No pretty tears or glitter, they get ugly. They all have a motive, an own story, and there's no clear "good" or "evil". The uke is pretty likable, his romance with the seme is kinda toxic tho bc of stockholm syndrome. I like how he manages to make the uke express himself later on tho. The whole thing with the hackers is pretty interesting but also horrifying if u think about it. I mean, the seme and the former uke literally destroyed many people's lived for fun.
CYBERCRIME, AGE GAP (10 years), TOUGH UKE
Hitoshi Arai is just an average college student with a mediocre life. During high school, he was bullied for being fat and got stressed and anxious easily. He had hoped that college would give him a fresh new start, but he remains his ordinary lone self. One night on his way home from his part-time job, Hitoshi accidentally bumps his bag of groceries into a car. He immediately inspects the car to see if he left any scratches while internally musing about Aladdin's story. He is surprised when the trunk of the car pries itself opens, revealing an intimidating figure of a man who proceeds to take advantage of Hitoshi by letting him stay at his home. Intimidated and scared, Hitoshi does what the man wants. The man introduces himself as 'Mah' and thus, begins complicating Hitoshi's ordinary life.
SPOILER:
The seme abandoned his former partner in crime and now tries to get away from him hiding in the uke's flat. The uke initially wants to kick him out but grows fond of him over time. However, The seme's former lover now targets the uke and his mom to put pressure on the seme. He's megalomaniac and needs the seme to be his power. This is also the reason why he's attracted to him. Their love was like being on drugs. I like that it doesn't work out, that's fitting. The seme in the end settles down with the uke, the former uke moves on. Happy ending
