On no, this story really got into me. It made me cry so much because this is the reality for a lot of lgbtq+ people, especially in places that are not accepting. It's so difficult when since you were a child, it was already engraved into your mind that romantic relationships must only be consist of a man and a woman; it's wrong if it's not. It's painful when people look at you as if you're the worst person just because of who you love. It's also painful when they tolerate but you know they don't accept. The sentiments of Kasumi and Kyousuke are so realistic it hurts. Good thing that they're happy in the end
It surprised me because the story is beautifully written. Tbh when I saw that this features s&m, I thought that this would just be another non con crap. But no, both characters genuinely like and respect each other. I hope that other authors would follow this one and realize that s&m doesn't necessarily mean assault or rape.
