Review: The storyline wasn’t well developed, and I feel like some plot points were simply glossed over in the story. The *** doesn’t really add anything, despite just being there to help you get aroused (?). Plus, the “make-me-pregnant-like-my-long-time-crush-did-to-someone-that-is-not-me-and-ejaculate-in-my-womb” scene was not it. I didn’t feel any chemistry between them. Who the Hades responds to “Princess, do you love me?” with “Yeah.”? I am c o n f u s i o n. Like what? Side note: I forgot to mention this when I first wrote this, but I had originally been thinking about it, but it slipped away for a few moments. Then, I grabbed it back like desperately snatching a balloon’s string just as it was beyond my reach. I dislike it when authors feminize the uke. I honestly don’t mind it usually, but there’s a place where I draw the line. The line is drawn when the author literally describes, draws, and implements “feminine” mannerisms into the uke going so far as to make the character’s identity become lost to the point where the uke is basically a girl with something extra down there. When semes mention that they might “impregnate” the uke or “make them their woman,” it’s kind of degrading because WHY WOULD YOU WRITE A BL (BOY’S LOVE) IF YOU’RE JUST GOING TO MAKE IT STRAIGHT BUT SPICY?!! I kind of just skimmed over the story, but yeah. These are my thoughts. In general, I would not read this again. :l

Hmm the story didn’t make the most sense to me, but I think that’s just a me problem. I liked this! Thought it was cute. Like the theme of family and all that. Anyway, I think the author tried to make a deeper story but just didn’t quite get there. A little too cliché. The characters just weren’t enough in my opinion. Other than that part of the story, I did love the art.

ahhh this is really good. sometimes you need old men BL. it doesn’t have that spark of puppy love but it still manages to be romantic in its own unique right. i love how this is mature, and you get to see their domesticity ^^ there doesn’t have to be any clear labels; you can just see they mean a lot to each other. the side characters are realistic and aren’t used as one dimensional pawns for the sake of the plot. the leads’ dynamic is so delightful. the mc is relatable and kind of a tsundere while the ml is deadpan yet doting and considerate
