ch. 1-4, 6.5: I like the story. despite only a four-chaptered one, it's filled with meaningful pages about how these two people struggled with a relationship that first started with a fetish. #misunderstandings along the way but it's still a one good roller coaster ride of a happy ending. #puppy seme x #casual uncommitted uke #first love., #designer x publishing staff #break-up. ch. 5-6: #comedy (somewhat funny) some#mistaken identity #bi-racial seme x #cute, idealistic uke with fantasies about love. uke met this "foreigner" that made his heart thump despite being a guy but he was awakened by a rude revelation later when he say the guy speaking in perfect Japanese? two-shot smut.

#older uke. seme younger by two years. 26 yo assistant architect x 28 yo mangaka, handsome seme x beautiful uke. Seme is the popular type so he never experienced pursuing someone until he met this #beautiful mangaka (and yea, like everybody is hyped about how pretty he is). However, despite that he had problems of keeping a relationship. So starts their love life issues. (*-I don't get why the mangaka would give us a foreshadow of the minor couple but shifted gears and totally focused with the main couple in the end... like... why even talk about then?
