I think this has to be the first yaoi story where the character of a schoolboy who gets into fights is drawn with obviously painful injuries, black eyes, contusions, scrapes and bruises. It isn't completely realistic in that we never see his eyes swollen shut, and he hasn't got the prizefighter's nose, but it isn't glamourous either. He hasn't got those artfully arranged bruises which lessen the sense of injury. Good for Chiba Yrouko for getting that right. It helps create a sense of urgency.

As for the other story, I prefer no scent, or the scent of soap and water or fresh shampoo. It was hard to get past that. I found it odd that such a neat freak would be drawn in by body odour. I guess it was meant to be ironic.
