HOLY SHIITTTTT like of course I know this was gonna be dark because it's Harada's work after all but I didn't imagine that the seme would be soooo fucked up. To sum it up, the seme is manipulative and obsessed with uke. He's one of the most fucked up characters I know, being able to act like a good person to manipulate. I had doubted him actually in the early chapters but I was still stupefied when he turned out to be THAT dark. He's on another level of a yandere. Riku, too, is one fucked up character as well (I relate to him tbh I like stirring up drama for other people because I find it fun). It's not the first time I read something this dark but it surely left a mark on me. I'm also glad Shou has became wary of Fuku because had it been another uke, they would've probably gave in to their abusive seme and mistake their fear for love. Uke is not like that at all. He didn't even say he likes him or anything that expresses his love for Fuku (he only hates him and also probably pity because he's a kind character although he tends to get physical). Impressive book!

whew so the seme is manipulative (as typical in Harada's works). He rides on his childhood friend's guilt and trauma from 'not being able to protect him' from that car accident that cost his leg. The uke panics whenever he worries for seme and the seme is enjoying that. He knows uke will never forgive himself until seme says what happened wasn't uke's fault but of course because he's fucked up, he doesn't. I'm rating this 4 4star because I wanted uke to somehow wake up or smth but ofc I know traumas are shit
