Just finished reading, and I can tell the mangaka plans this manga deliberately. Sure, the seme is a two-faced asshole, but as the story progresses, the mangaka inserts the backstory to transition him out of it. You can tell which arc the manga is going into by some clue here and there, which is a great writing! The problem is this is too much for one volume, so the transition feels too fleeting. The plots are there, yk, and they emphasize them but not enough, so it fell short. If the mangaka had given more backstory involving how the seme fell in love with the uke, how his family is hypocritical, how the relationship btw the seme and his ex is, where or what even the seme was doing during the absence period, etc. This manga will be less confusing.
(However, I don’t really blame the mangaka for this. I can tell that they’re really passionate about this story. I get the feeling that they are only given one volume so we get what we get.)
