It's so rare finding Japanese manga talking about Race discrimination. So effing rare and it's astonishing. But the person who got discrimination "fortunately" lived outside Japan and from low population country. I mean Okadaya took safe route when there's another option to talk about for example discrimination toward Black men in Japanese society.
Also it's rare (for me) in BL manga seeing something from male's perspective. Other BL mangas sure have male characters but their view isn't that profound as this one. This is how some men see love. Love for some men means accomplishing something or conquering something. Nozomu (Zomu) here wants to accomplish something that has been delayed for 20 years. He's clutching that yearning for that long. This kinda reminds me of fictional characters written by male writers. And somehow reminds me of Neil Gaiman's writing.
I don't say BL manga written by male mangaka is better than others. It's just different from the usual. It's not a mainstream. The soul, the spirit, the core or whatever its name is different and makes me go "aaah, that's why".
