I think the first volume was undoubtedly not the best. It felt like they were placing all the gears in the right spot just so a story can happen. Rather than everything telling a story. However as it continued along, honestly right up into the second volume it was quite magical. The plot relied a lot more on emotions and little logic, which makes sense this is where people get super thrown off, especially with how their relationship began. For me this is where the writing was the best though! Them relying on pure emotion relays so well to the psychology of both characters. The top is so in love with the bottom to the point it grows into obsession. Typical yandere trait. What makes this so interesting to me though, I think the teacher was an ideal of the love he believed. The bottom showed him love he thought he didn't deserve which made him so desperate for it, to the point he told himself this is his only chance at love. That's why he is so illogical but very reactive, because throughout the events of the manga, he is learning what love truly is. Not his twisted ideal of it, hence all of his push and pull with his decisions. He always contradicts himself because he is learning how to love, and dismantling his ideals of it. The bottom on the other hand is also learning that logic isn't everything. Love truly does lack any reason, which is why he is so compliant. Not only because he is scared but also because he is just now getting lost in what it means to love someone. He senses his own lack of reason dissolving just like the top wants. So I think the lack of logic actually aids to the nature of their relationship. I do think it could've had a better execution, especially in the first volume, and the last chapter but overall this really was an amazing experience to read. The emotions was there, tension, and chemistry! I also loved the insights we got into what unhealthy ideals of love can do to people.
