18.6.2020 A depressed 20-year old finds an outlet for selfharm in Niichoume as a kind-of-prostitute, and a 28-year old salaryman helps him heal and find love instead. This is one of the first yaoi I’ve read where the aftermath of rape is handled properly; as in that our protagonist actually goes to take an HIV-test (which fortunately comes back as negative).

18.6.2020 The mangaka for this story wrote ”...and I thought ’wouldn’t boys interested in nail art be kinda cute?’ ” and after reading this one, I must say, yeah. The story otherwise is pretty straight forward, and it’s really nice to see how their conversations make them grow closer as the story progresses. Also, the ”hey I work part time in a store, it’s no biggie for me to buy condoms - OH SHIT MY CO-WORKER HAD TO BE WEIRD ABOUT IT!” episode was so hilarious! I really like it.
