Part 1 of 4. Mc is a college student chaebol, whose sister is getting married to an arabian prince. Mc is assigned a body guard because of that, and because of some spat re: inheritance between their dad and their uncle. The bodyguard mc gets is at least 10 if not 20 years older, who starts to perv on mc almost immediately for being cute. There are 4 volumes of this, this is the first. This is very much drawn and written very much like a shoujo of yesteryear. I don't love this face art, although it improves over the course of the series. But also you can't get away from the fact that the bodyguard is hella older than mc and is perving on someone barely of age. It's creepy. And he forcefully jerks him off early on. Then of course, mc decides he's in love with him. Stockholm syndrome. Mc never thought of himself as gay, so why is he interested in being perved on by a dude? Also, mc is the definition of a tsundere, and he is very much an old-timey shoujo heroine, overreacting to everything, and the melodrama is dialed up to 11. It's honestly embarrassing to read. The only reason I'm not giving it a 1/5 stars is because the absurdity is actually kinda funny in some places. but anyway, honestly, if you can't laugh at this type of old, rapey, melodramatic, frustrating tsundere comic, then it probably isn't for you. I'd say it probably just isn't worth reading, with so many other better comics around. probably skip this one.
