I liked this ngl. The art is beautiful, it was hard to get used to it at first because I'm not used to this style, but in the end I appreciate it a lot. So beautiful.
Characters are charismatic though I would've liked more development for Artemiy and AJ's past. Would've feel more empathy for both of them if I knew a little bit more details, and the end would've ended up even more satisfying if their relationship developed more outside of the romantic matters. The teacher-student relationship was still so fresh in the end so it made everything feel so weird for me.
And the story felt soo rushed in the end TT. It was also unclear how they managed to escape, they killed everyone and then… just lived free? That was a detail I would've liked if was answered.
And the ages are also a mystery, I can guess why though, but I like to pretend they're not that far from each other? Otherwise everything would've been more fucked up for them, but it seems it worked out in the end because AJ got therapy and Artemiy is emotionally intelligent and they were able to choose each other freely in the end. That puts me at ease, I guess.
The size difference is off-putting ngl, but it was very consistent through the story and wasn't sexualized neither used as an erotic point at the sex scenes, and it's also coherent because AJ probably struggled with money a lot and Artemiy probably comes from a part of Russia where people tend to be taller (european side, probably). So it's just disturbing at sight yet, if you think about it in this story, it totally makes sense for it to be that way :3
