As an opener, this manga subverted my expectations. It's pov is mostly from the seme, which seems unusual as most of the bls I've read have the uke's pov. I think this worked way better since it also came as a surprise how open Hazuki was with Honda and how horny he was. And it's not like other ukes where they basically accept anything the seme does to them and forgive them (even though sometimes it's borderline sexual assault or forcing kinks on them). Hazuki set clear boundaries, closed off a bit out of fear in the middle of the story and then got very honest and open in the end as a resolution to his arch, learning to trust love.
Honda, despite being a simple mc, manages to subvert the role of innocense that is usually atributed to ukes. He's innocent in the sense of being a virgin, inexperienced in romantic partnerships and having workplace dynamics. But it works because of his resilience (completely different from harassment, which is what Ken was doing ), the power to give his romantic interest a chance to reciprocate his love.
Also as an extra, I wanna add that Hazuki's stupid ass deadpan expression kills me every time. He know what he's doing He uses his stupid ahh cute face for appeal, you can not fool me.
Overall, this was a good read. Maybe too good of a read considering I found about this manga and author from Pinterest. The weirdest and horniest titles always appear on my feed. I recently read two of my now top 5 bls. Pinterest is the source of the sauce.
