This deals with very serious themes in a surprisingly sensitive manner - sexual abuse, PTSD, trauma-induced sexual relationships, taboo steosibling incest - definitely a minefield of disturbing trigger topics and not for people who want a light read. Kaname and Souichirou's healing relationship is more beautiful because of this though; the downside is that the author spent too long showing us Kaname and Masato's dark past (enough to leave a sour taste) and unnecessary conflict and drama at the end when time would have been better spent developing the early part of Kaname and Souichiro's romance so that it wasn't so... quick a process. Still, the character developments are great.

That was so interesting - frankly really not my type of story since it’s so heavily psychological and dark rather than romantic, but I did enjoy the mystery even though it was pretty obvious that they’re all parts of Hyunjin. The ending truly was lovely, too - so beautiful. Art was… not so good though.
