Moonpie's manga / #shounen ai(4)

I have a lot of conflicting feelings about this one. When this was in it's early days, it felt like a completely different story, of course, it was mostly shounen ai so it makes sense. The author started leaning more into yaoi, which was fine but a lot of the stereotypes that stem from yaoi also started coming with it ╭(╯^╰)╮ the difference in body types, while not being anything new, was often distracting at times. The relationship between the two was good but Taesung too often initiated sex when Haebom was hesitant and often will act sulky until Haebom gives in. I'm not even sure where to start with the red haired guy. I dropped this for a bit so I didn't see the context but what in the hell led the author to think that adding in rape as a way to end off the guy's arc was okay??? I'm all for bad people getting what's coming but it seemed really out of touch for this story. This story has a big problem with keeping up with the genre it's in, going from shounen ai, to yaoi, to psychological???? I didn't feel much about this story by the end, which saddens me because a few years ago, I adored this story. Now, I'm disappointed. I think the story wasn't planned at some point and it was, it was given more spice but it all got mixed up. I'm glad others enjoyed it, but unfortunately, it completely missed the mark for me.

A very beautifully drawn story about a deaf man and a violin player, who met through odd circumstances and started to become friends. There's a ten year age gap but it becomes a lot less obvious as time goes on that there even is one. I've heard there's a volume 2? So hopefully, I'll get to see them fall in love and have some actual romance scenes! Right now this leans very much towards shounen ai, rather than yaoi.
