Older seme x younger uke, friends to lovers, yaoi with message, has a depiction of violence
The art is so cute, I really enjoyed it. It was fluffy and sexy at the same time. I like the aesthetic of this author so much. It's not rough at all. Very enjoyable. There's nothing to complain about, really. Proportions were good, expressions were good, what they wear is good. All good.
The characters... Haruhi undergoes a great deal of character development. This is a coming of age story that makes you think "oh, i really wish for this person's happiness" all throughout. Masahiro... He is a kind, gentle, loving character.
The relationship development. The focus is more on the character development of Haruhi and Masahiro is kind of a bystander that encourages Haruhi to love himself and in the process Haruhi is overcome with his kindness. It's slow-burn and realistic. Nothing too dramatic, but still touching.
The plot... The premise, i've seen like, thousand of times? Yet... The way this author delivers is great. Plus, she actually has a message for her readers. I absolutely loved the story telling, the dialogues... This makes sense. It's not a cookie cutter yaoi.
Would recommend. I think anyone can benefit from reading this. Give it a try!
