I can't help but think many of the comments here didn't actually finish the story because the ending isn't really half bad.
I went into this expecting the uke to be the most mind numbing, self sacrificing, pushover of the century, but genuinely, no. He knows what he's doing, he is aware that he's doing it to himself, he is very VERY self-aware. Socially, he has confidence and takes control when he wants something, but he lacks self-esteem, which can easily be explained away by looking at his past with his disapproving family situation, then his money struggles, and anxieties about his future.
Plus, we got yearning tears and an alcoholic phase from the seme, so all's well...
