I didn't like it. I usually like this mangaka's stories, but not this one. First of all, the seme giving the uke shit for "running away". Sometimes that's the only option you have when there is no room for you to stop and think, which is what happened to him. He was pulled in every direction without being given the chance to figure out things for himself, always having to take care of others but never having time for himself. Even the father calls him selfish for asking time for himself and then he ask for more of him, even though he's already giving everything. And the seme never helps, even if he knows from chapter one how much the uke is struggling and hurting. He just add to his chores and pressure. He throws him his laundry, demands food, and then gives him shit when he complains or when he doesn't notice his feelings. I can understand it from the other guys who don't give a shit about the uke, but this asshole knows. And he is supposed to care about him. Yet he doesn't. The ending is also shit. We are given some sort of patched up ending, with the seme helping. Which only happens when his feelings are answered. Not before. Not when the uke was suffering. And the dad is painted as some sort of doting useless father, when his wife gave up under the pressure yet he makes his son do it and when he's about to crack he calls him selfish and doesn't listen to him. This manga could have been more but in the end the uke gives up. And none of the wrong-doers are called out. My ship has not sailed for it has never existed.
