also, people, keep in mind this was written in 1997 Σ( ￣□￣||)
I think it was rather progressive for its time, definitely better than most things made in that period...
in the end, this manga was about an estranged father and son, them starting to get along and learning they are more alike than meets the eye, with multiple characters joining in on the drama. It was about discovering oneself and making peace with the outcome.
There were the side sex scenes, yeah, but personally, I think the main focus lies in the relationship between Tetsuo and Haruka (centered mostly on Tetsuo), so I wouldn't necessarily call this a yaoi. It seems like the author wanted to convey a different story but remembered at some point it has o be a BL so..this happened to be the result.
Honestly, with it's flaws and inconsistencies, I still kinda like it. Stories like these remind me it's not all about the romance and whatnot but that family is often more important.
