Oh my God, this is the first yaoi I read that really handles conflicts over sexuality in the right way. Uke's conflict with his father was just incredible, and very realistic too, as the father doesn't abruptly overcome homophobia and is gradually redeeming himself, and the manga was talking about the marriage of people of the same gender being accepted under Japanese law, and currently, in 2021, same-sex marriage was permitted by law!!! :D The seme sexuality part was also very good, but I wish it had been more detailed, there was that part of the lesbians that hinted that Seme was having a compulsory heterosexuality, but even so, I felt that it was very open, it could have been working harder. :/ Anyway, I liked it a lot, but, there is the big problem, which is the rape part, look, I thought that in the end, the manga didn't defend Seme's attitude so much (IN THE END!), but, in the scene that they met again after 3 years, Uke kept saying things like "I wanted to, so it was not your fault", but, well, in the rape scene Uke was clearly begging Seme to stop, so, it becomes difficult to defend Seme. And not to mention that, the second rapist's redemption was so ??? Like, I liked the part about him hating Uke just because he was a gay in the closet who hated his sexuality, but man, he literally tried to RAPE another guy, so, again, it’s hard to defend rapist. In general, despite the problems, I liked it a lot.
