I'm pretty fond of the plot, cos you just don't find weird and convoluted romantic melodrama like this in modern-day manga, but I can't say I fancy how the BL aspect is written. I'm a huge fan of slow romance (can't stand the "fall into bed in the middle of the first chapter" sh*t the yaoi nowadays has got going on, tbh), but this isn't even "romance," just Shouichirou pining away after Yosaburou while Yosaburou does whatever he wants. I know he has no obligation to answer Shouichirou's feelings, but in that case the mangaka should have made it clear that it's unrequited from the start. But they do eventually get together (from what I've seen of the raws). I think it'd have been much better if this had been one of those fanservice-y subtext series where they both still prefer women, like, I dunno, Adekan or something, instead of going full-on shounen-ai in such a half-hearted way.
I still give it an 8/10 though. The story is so...fun, in a crazy/creepy/messy way.

But what's funny is in Adekan, both of the characters have enough chemistry to make them canon XD
