This manga contains two stories, both about relationships with troubled people.
The first is between a man writing about old brothels which are now repurposed as hotels and cafes. He finds one building that is well maintained so he is interested in interviewing and taking pics and whatnot. He starts a sexual relationship with the young son (~17y) living there, and they grow closer emotionally over a few visits. The son is a country boy wanting to escape small town life, which has led him to making potentially unsafe choices.
The second story focuses on two men who were high school friends, and their reunion which quickly turns into a captivity plot. A masochistic captive with a captor questioning his own actions makes for an interesting relationship dynamic.
Both stories feature characters who are struggling with their own self worth and are doing questionable things because of it. I personally was happy with how both stories ended.

Only up to ch 2, but if the age difference doesn't make you feel like vomiting, their dialogues surely will. I hate this kind of story.
