I can't believe I only read this now! I remember watching the OVA quite some time ago but not being particularly impressed (I don't know why? I don't really remember. Either my tastes have changed or the OVA didn't do it justice), so I never went out of my way to read the manga. This was really good though! Only thing I hated was how, while the rape from Barry was addressed as such (a yaoi addressing rape for what it is and depicting it as actually disgusting and traumatizing without romanticizing it in any way? And an old yaoi at that??? OMG give me more of this!!!), THE SA FROM RAYFELL WASN'T. Rayfell unlike Barry was always presented as a mostly positive character from the main cast apart from her cheating, but even the SA on Cherry was brushed off almost as comic relief at the end?? (Cherry couldn't really consent, he wanted to save his master and accepting her was the only way despite him clearly not wanting it) She's not much better than the antagonist, wtf... I wanted someone to at least beat her up
