It's a pretty cute, simple story with stunning visuals between two men. One happens to be a translator, helping for someone who is native and lives in an entirely different lifestyle + culture. They come to like each other eventually, it's quite vanilla but admittedly a nice pace to get into yaoi.
The art style is oddly charming but not something I'm fond of entirely. But it stands out for sure.
This was a suggestion by Akidearest that really got me into the whole shenanigans of yaoi as a whole. I've read this twice/three times. I personally really enjoyed the simplicity of the story and the dynamic between the main couples eventual lead to becoming mutual lovers. There's BDSM in this which was new to me but all in all, I enjoyed the contrast of these two characters and other people being involved, it gets pretty dramatic and tense which had seemingly consistent pacing overall
In summary, a man who has a large phobia to germs, a major clean freak. It was affecting his life pretty heavily on the daily. Until he met a profound doctor that set his goal to help him overcome this, the doc took a gradual liking to him hence why the implication behind helping him out in the first place. It's an interesting take honestly, I suppose in terms of sex it's quite vanilla, deffo solid writing with comedic bits; really therapeutic + great visuals also. Must read!
Golly the art style and colour is vibrant but it works so well with everything shown in each chapter.
Best fucking thing I've read holy shit hooked left and right. I really do like the build up and gradual character development that isn't overly anti climactic or very bland, cliche plots. It does have that element somewhat but it does depict a very slife of life experience I think some people may come across when it comes to communication and relationships. Also hot sex + BDSM. :)
