I love the pacing of the story. it doesnt make you wait too long nor smack you with sudden plotwists. it gives you time to cope and absorb what just happened. tbh, even the scenes that i expected were still refreshing and interesting. the characters are also in depth so it doesnt feel like the author is forcing you to feel something for them, the author just makes you feel on your own.

It deals with identity. A man who loathes his body because he desires to be a woman. A writer who aims to leave a masterpiece like a genius dying young. A tomboy dressing feminine for a man she desires. An infertile woman who desires to choose her path but chose to be obedient. This isn’t even BL, but it does show a man loving another. This is a story about three “women” desiring a man who couldn’t love.

Three stories. The first being in university, the second as officemates, and the last being a sort of strange man stalking a uni student. The last is probably the weirdest and the "feral" isn't that well introduced except that he think having a "huge" dick made him a sex god or something LMAO.

Sho is opnely gay and he has set his eyes on the cute crossdressed Naoto, confessing to him in public. Nao, endeared by Sho, is confused whether it was a joke or not but upon knowing that Sho was serious he could only let him pursue him. As extraordinary as Sho was, he managed to bribe Nao's strict father into acknowledging Nao's adulthood and even made the brother complex of Nao's brother dissipate. After a misunderstanding, Sho tried to distance himself from Nao, who couldn't properly tell Sho about his feelings. In a refreshing turn around, Nao confesses to Sho in public and these lover birds just gets into action. Seriously, this two is so damn in love with each other.

Haebom lost his parents and was taken in by his mother's friend. Taesung, the son of Haebom's mom's friend, is an estranged son who was impulsively taken by his mother from his grandmother.

A few bumps and obstacles along the way, Taesung and Haebom went through them together, even until their employment. im feeling bittersweet because ive only read it now, but at least i didnt have to wait too long to read until season 4.

Mitsuko is borderline tsundere only when they were finally official. i did wish he retained his blunt personality but i think the moment he clammed is also showing how anxious he was regarding his relationship with Nana. And I feel bad for Nana since his personality morphed into being a women-pleaser. Like, it's not even portrayed to be because he respects them, but because he's terrified of them when they're angry. It's all fluff on the surface tho~ Nana, be happy.
