This is fresh air compared to other BL because of it's unqiue artstyle, it doesn't make everyone look like some anime kpop idol boy, and realistically designs them according to the plot. Bl that is written as a political story that has a side of romance.
Even though it was toxic, there's yearning written throughout the story. The uke has his reason, even though it's not right; everyone is written for a reason, it's a love story of a man who has everything yet yearning for something he can't have.
A short story of two people falling in love and being super compatible in bed. They both found comfort in each other without misunderstanding, just pure love.
I knew I would love this as soon as I saw how the uke is written in the prequel; he was written as a bad guy, the unforgiving ex, but he is more than that archetype; he is a person who is very complex and hard to love; however, the seme is someone steady that be the uke pillar. The seme has some family trouble on his own, but both of them are recovering from past hurt together, helping each other heal.
Masterpiece. Both of them are calm and rational people, despite their dispute, their pull and push kinda chess mind game. Uke is possessive over the seme and throughout this whole story is him helpng the seme from a troublesome scandal and abuse.
Old yaoi men, both single teachers, "heal" each other's trauma and fall in love.
