SPOILERS, you have been warned. At first I just thought it was a stalker x stalker story to get fun scenarios and lotsa smut, but I'm surprised that the author gave both characters rhyme and reason, especially reason for the seme, and made sure they are the good kind of stalker (realizing, changing, etc.). It was quite well done to give the seme such a reason for his behavior. Which is why I wouldn't exactly label him a stalker in the usual sense. And the MC himself started out exhibiting stalker behavior but dropped it early on, that was a nice breeze of fresh air. XD I really like how it's written. Tho I think this would have benefitted from going more slow, less comedy-like and putting more effort into making it emotional in all ways present (falling in love, being happy, being obsessed, being scared, being sad and feeling guilty, etc.). The art itself is decent, maybe a little cookie cutter for some but still decent and pleasant to look at. Writing is great despite it being so rushed almost. And the overall story is lovely. Wholesome, contrary to what one might think. XD Definitely recommended! Especially as a nice casual read but still nothing silly in terms of character behavior per se.
