So I picked up this manga because I feel like I always read really light love stories and wanted to try something a bit more dark. The story is a bit dark, about a really possessive yandere kind of man, but it is not super intense with blood or really graphic rape scenes, which is good if you ask me. *THIS PAR CONTAINS LIGHT SPOILERS* Story (7/10) The story was pretty nice. I liked the fact that the main character who was being harassed and toyed with by the other decided to break it off instead of just easily giving in like we often see in otherromances. I would have prefered another ending because I found this one to be not realistic enough, but this is a yaoi manga so this is to be expected. *THE SPOILERS ARE GONE NOW* Characters (6/10) The two main characters are what you can expect in this kind of story: the possessive one and the submissive one. They were not super extreme though, which felt more realistic. I liked the third man that was introduced later on, but I feel like is development was way to fast. Art (8/10) I really like this kind of art that reminds me of shojo manga. All the man and faces are beautifully drawn, but I felt like the legs were way too long. Enjoyment (7/10) I did enjoy this manga. I liked how the story was kind of cliché, but not so cliché at the same time. I liked how the main character actually wanted to get out of his situation, that he just didn't give in so easily. Overall (7/10) If you are looking for a yaoi manga with a more dark story but that won't traumatize or shock you, I'd recommand it to you. The artwork is really nice on the eyes too, which makes the reading really enjoyable.
