I was doubtful when I started this, I have to admit. But the manga proved me wrong at every turn. At first disguised as a typical pwp with a slutty uke and a celeb/paparazzi angle thrown in for good measure, it's absolutely so much more that that. It's discussing so many issues, from self worth, to depression (especially work related for many of them, which I appreciate so hard), to tolerance and acceptance. It's a wonderful work of art that is still smutty to the point of singing off your eyebrows. Did I say I love it? Because I love it. I loved Kota, and loved his bravery, and how he slowly grew to love himself. Yukinari really developed into a better person. Thank God he had shitty luck with that data card the first time around. This is one of those mangas that transport you, and you come back to reality in increments afterwards 5*
