From the comments I thought it'd be worse. Sure, I'd love for authors to stop with the SA in BL manga but this was the tamest case of dubcon I've read in ages. Story would be better without it but I was expecting something that'd make me regret picking this up entirely.
It seems like Murakami was already getting interested in Mizuki without realising, I think that was implied when his friend thought he was really "love managing" him.
Generic plot although I want to see how it ends.
I love the "rivals in love actually fall in love with each other" trope, but I need more of these where they're fighting for a woman, just to realise that they can also bat for the same team.
Pretty please
