Right, i thought it was just me. The train sequence and the character designs were uncannily similar to Harada’s. Definitely inspired by the premise, and then a story was later written around it. Not an uncommon practice, sort of like an AU. Funny, though, they went with wolf-in-sheep’s clothing vs sheep-in-wolf’s clothing route, I see tragicomedy potential

The plot is Harada "inspired" or smth? Lmao idk bro. The difference only the ML (cz he is not the Main Character but also we don't know if he is the uke or not so I'm gonna call him ML) is in yakuza. And I think in Harada's work, there are no bullying? And ML doesn't "like" him, like he didn't confess or anything. The only same thing is the scene on the train ig.
