But someone said to him, "I won't pull you out of the shadows, but if you want, I will stay with you in the darkness forever."" ✰ TW: Mental Illness, Abusive Parents ⤷ the representation of a mental institution was pretty stereotypical, but other than that i thought it was sweet. the ending seemed rushed but i understand one of the co-authors passed away during the production, rip nan tian <3

"Yuri, one of the school's most handsome guys, and Jaerim, one of the school's ugliest, collide!...or don't they...Can't understand what's going on between these two! It's Out of Control!!' ✰ Hot Popular Seme x Ugly Small Uke ⤷ i was liking it up to like ch 50... but the last 30+ chapters, wtf is going on lol. the bullying is gross and so far not addressed or admonished enough. yuri sucks the last 20 chapters, seriously hate when semes chase the uke for 60 ch and once they get together they're like oooo actually my trauma means i'm going to be cold and distant for no reason. cool, lol. all the side couples suck, so toxic. i only care about chili peppers and he didn't get shit ch 79 - uh??? no??? wtf ?? a rape scene for what reason ? literally adds nothing to the story. and YURI THINKS HE WAS CHEATINGGGG??? BRUH. this is so dumb bye k finished finally, wish the last 20 chapters didn't exist, bye

"High School teacher, Aoki is reluctant to go to the infirmary. Because he does not like the doctor there, Mr. Tengoku for no reason. But one day, he is forced to pay a visit to talk about a student who often skips class there. At the first contact, Tengoku easily sees through Aoki’s nature of disguising an exemplary teacher, and smiles mysteriously. Tengoku tells him that he has been watching Aoki ever since he is assigned to this school. While discussing about the student, Tengoku points out the naivety of Aoki, and then gives him a kiss all of sudden. In his embarrassment, Aoki is unable to refuse at that moment. Later on, he remembers his childhood memories and starts to see his true self. What awaits for the timid teacher, Aoki? In the end, is he in heaven or hell?" ✰ Teacher x Teacher (School Nurse) ⤷ one of my favorite mature yaois ever. the characters and the story are so great; super flushed out, perfect pacing, and the art is fantastic
