The fact that the story's premise could easily make this into the most toxic mess, and yet we come out with 2 characters whose dynamic has always been balanced, no rape, no violence from one to another. They always respected e/o, most of the confusion came from their difference, and learning how to understand the other party.
Gosh do I love them, I'm passionate!
Love Kyou as an author, for never making me feel the ick towards Jake beyond the first few chapters (which become more understandable once you get his character.)

REREAD IT AND STILL FELT THE SAME THRILL AND EXCITEMENT I FELT WHEN I READ IT FIRST. MY FIRST BL EVER (yeah a newbie here)
