I like the story as it is. The characters are psychologically broken, fearful, and flawed and that made the story realistic at some point. I absolutely hate Akihito's dad though! He's the worst. And about the two protagonists, I'm against rape, I could see that Ryou likes Akihito, but it's still rape if he said NO. So I didn't like that part. Akihito's development was good though, in a way he left his immaturity and decided to do what's best for Ryou. So I liked that. Overall, I love the story and it really gave my heart a tight squeeze as I was reading it. It was about an hour of emotional roller coaster ride for me. Happy ending, but I could've been more satisfied if Masaya and Ryou get reunited and have a happy trip or something together.
