Should I start folding a thousand crane, too? I live for this content! Craig is not paranoid and it's true that he has his own guilt and regret eats him but he knows to think. My heart is also bleeding for Dean and I'm glad that he was able to keep holding on to Craig even when his nightmares could make him violent. Actually, it won't even surprise me he becomes violent against Craig because of his anxiety and nightmares. But no, he holds him more gently afterwards, wanting Craig to feel at ease. because this is true love, wanting to be a better person for someone you love

This might have had a prequel? As much I like how interweaving and simultaneous the relationships in here, there’s some sort of void that I can’t help feeling at the same time. It’s like a need for closure that should’ve already been there but I somehow missed it.

Grr! The level of sensuality is just bursting through the roof! Nezomi x Tatsuya just gives you that ideal attachment and relationship. Also the way Tatsuya just make love with Nozomi and blatantly show off to Rogi —! And how Nozomi lived his life in trauma but with the purpose of being both the ideal man and woman in Tatsuya’s eyes. Unforgettable, this one! UNBEATABLE!

The typical "I love you but you love him yet he's with someone else" story. Loved the end notes, but they take away the flow of the story for me.

I didn't expect I'd like it since the context isn't my cup of tea, but damn! Loved it! We got three friends and 2 contradicting promises, question is, which promise would be fulfilled?

Rui-san really gives bondage a whole new meaning of trust and beauty. It's not taken as a simple fetish, but rather a display of trust and gentle yet restrictive play. Also, I'm loving how much he whips out a rope when he feels like his man is in danger or is remembering how much his man had to suffer. This is the only way I can accept "abuse" as a theme because it is a past that will be addressed in the present.

A certain "upright" person pissed me off. Nonetheless, I drained my tears for Tatsuya's tsundere sacrifices and Ikou's repressed suffering. They're bonded by one person, yet through her, they became more than just revenge. I'm just sad for Tatsuya because he really bound himself to Ikou while Ikou, in his repressed state, lived a life having people who love him and care for him. I know Ikou is actually the main protagonist and for obvious reasons I pity Tatsuya's underworld isolation. But thinking about it, Tatsuya also had loyal followers, a tsundere police officer who saves him HAHAHA and Ikou, who chose him regardless. They truly are the Ouroboros ️ best two days of my life!

Yakuza Shimojou is a cleaner who slyly does it to get revenge for his rival Kuze's parents. Meanwhile, Kuze becomes an undercover cop who intends to take the yakuza group down. When the met again, the two doesn't acknoweldge each other familiarly. Instead, they get into a master-pet relationship where Kuze, the pet, challenges his master to succumb. While being together, Shimojou realizes exactly what Kuze has become and used it to leave the hints that would drag the yakuza geoup down, even Shimojou if Kuze intends to. Nonetheless, Kuze doesn't arrest Shimojou and offers to join in the thrill instead.

There's no chemistry between the main couple. If the seme was written as a tsundere, he is more of an asshole who hurls the subject of his affections around but also thinks he's being generous for pushing them away. The uke is more valued by his brother-in-law. Even if he is a Yakuza, he gave him an opportunity to live and be a better father for his son. Instead, he is painted as the bad guy for keeping his brother-in-law under his wings. If anything, the cop has been a 90% douche.
