Why did the ml claim to be in love with Yoru, only to be rough and asshole-y with him. They wrote it off later on to show that he's a nice guy and always loved him ( why not show that since the start- it's always telling that "oh he's a nice guy and he really cares for you" but love shines the most in action. If you loved him, yes you'd buy his freedom but then you'd actually set him free. Give him happiness, let him be. He's technically never known that at all. Also, he ends up falling in love so randomly. Sometimes, I wonder because these mangas are short, that people give a lot of leeway to plot, characterisation and story writing- this needed that: a pure blood dealing with mix bloods and humans- hence being abandoned by his family; a human dancer pretending to be a 'hybrid" and the public ragging- to the point that he was sold to a brothel. Why didn't we see how he dealt with that- how he's been coping with the whiplash of being a prostitute (how he's dealt with the abuse from the circus master). And what was the point of Amran being a hybrid really- just the lion heat thing majorly. Poorly written story, with amazing art. Not to mention, the convenient forgetting of his behaviour at the beginning. Another one for the smut faction.
Never understood why i couldn't completely get with this story until i just re-read it. I didn't like how the uke sacrificed his potential career for the seme. Seme could've also been- "you should try everything you want Yuta, our bond won't change". But instead did the exact opposite. I felt it would've been better if he went to another university for baseball and tried it out to see whether baseball as a professional career was for him. And the seme randomly distancing himself in the beginning was an odd choice. I personally felt "why'd you do that?" No reason, no explanation, just random distancing because he likes the uke. It was all odd- apart from jealousy or actions based on jealousy you don't technically see any aspects of his love.
Lastly, another comment mentioned control and I can see that as well, very well pointed out. Personally, maybe years ago in the midst of all the "non-con" bls this seemed good I guess(even then the career thing bothered me) but frankly i didn't feel any emotions from this（￣へ￣）
