It's so interesting. As a teenager I loved this one primarily because the art is in many ways very sensitive, I expecially liked the usage of black fillings without grey tones, the hatching style which is really unusual and simply the characters expressions. But coming back to it after a few years, I realize how the first story is quite problematic for a number of reasons. The first thing that stood out is of course the uke without any dialogue cutting strings in a completely selfish way - I mean come on, two years... But then the rapey "last fuck" excuse the seme uses to get back at him because he also simply cannot converse otherwise and can't put his anger in a better way (ever heard of using words?). Afterwards him detecting his address by calling his mom and perhaps spoiling their mother-son-relationsship by explaing him he is his boyfriend which he actually isn't offically and doing his coming out for him. And the uke falling for it, sucker. ahhhweelll...
