Chihiro (the obvious uke) is a young aspiring actor who doesn't want to give up acting (something he loves) for the sake of living practically. He is employed part time by his uncle's cleaning service, and so lives from paycheck to paycheck with a flexible working schedule.
His latest client, a young successful businessman, Aoki Yuto (the seme), the same age as Chihiro, owns a swanky condo downtown, but has no time to clean, so he hires a cleaning service.
Their first meeting goes disastrously, because, of course,
the seme is a douche and basically belittles Chihiro. Questioning Chihiro's capabilities, all the while insulting Chihiro for pursuing acting and choosing to live so unpractically.
Chihiro question's his decision to pursue acting because of troubles that their troupe is having and also the comments of Yuto continue to dog his mind.
The last page of the first chapter basically sums up the chapter. The seme is a huge ass**le. (Heh, pun not intended)
Soon, we learn about the seme's backstory explaining his d*ckish behaviour. And Chihiro's relationship with Yuto gets better.
Also: Yuto starts appreciating all that Chihiro's been doing for him, which is quite a turn-around from his earlier behaviour.
Things progress quickly. Like. Seriously. It's still chapter 2, the uke is wary of the sudden change in attitude of the seme. Yuto starts showing obvious interest in Chihiro, which Chihiro, of course (rolls eyes) is almost always seen reacting with uke-blushing.
Chihiro meets Yuto's older brother by chance, and gets roped into something he never expected.
Yuto is pretty whacked in the head for some reason. It's sort of a little funny, but also a little pathetic. You'll feel bad for the seme, like, seriously. Gotta question his life choices for him because he doesn't seem to think anything's weird about how he's acting.
At first, I assumed the tsundere tag pertained to the seme, but it seems both characters are exhibiting characteristics of the trope. Don't get me wrong, I'm as much a fan of tsundere characters as any, for as long as it is endearing.
Sometimes, tsudere characters, basically emotionally constipated characters, range from the adorable to downright grade-A assh*les. Both characters kept fluctuating from one end of the spectrum to the other.
Their story gets cuter later on, and the characters started to grow on me.
I didn't love the whole thing but it was an okay read. It's light and fluffy, and not for those looking to read something deep and super angsty.
