I own this manga in 3 different languages. I think I can go on for days about what a rare gem this one is. Yes, the start of their relationship is icky, but if you could look beyond that, this is a masterpiece of story telling. Not a lot of BL manga reached this level of world building. Not a single side character felt like an after thought. The romance and smut are present, but they are not the only things that drive the story forward. That ending before they bid farewell where Katsuragi finally removes all of his facades and just acts how he feels… it was wondrous, giving me butterflies every time I read that chapter.
