On the fence with this story…I love it and think up to a certain point it’s well written with a very complex ML and MC story. They may not even end up together but at this point in the story…I just want both to be at peace and it just seems that the toxicity’s never ending with them.
There was a time skip of a few years and since then the story seems to be a little stagnant…currently there’s a lot of focus on gang related matters although it seems that the MC may have found someone else. I feel like I’m loosing interest so at this point I may take a break for a minute and come back when it’s over.

I've been reading this series since the beginning and fell in love with this couple! Doumeki is one of my fav semes, such an amazing green flag, love him! Yashiro went through a lot, and finally has a chance for a better future, all thanks to Doumeki! Step by step There were toxic scenes interspersed with hopeful ones! Obvious love/hate relationship with this series!
Unfortunately lately I'm more disappointed then happy when it comes to this series, after that timeskip... it's more and more irritating for me...the series seems dragged on...It used to be that every next chapter brought hope for better, now I just don't care about this series when every next chapter only makes things worse and I lose all respect for Yashiro...now all toxicity seems to be added unnecessarily, I understand that sex is sth different for him...we'll see...

The author of this manga was able to convey the psychological and emotional torture that haunts survivors of sexual assault. You really fall in love with Yashiro along with Duomeki. It’s gut wrenching to see his battle and you can really feel his pain especially in the graphic scenes.
Really hard to follow but I'm trying

I can tell it's good. Genuinely. But I'm having a really hard time following the plot for a couple of reasons:
1) speech bubbles rarely have tails on them, so it's hard to tell who's speaking.
2) there are too many characters with similar designs.
3) one character can be referred to with different names/titles depending on who's speaking. This is my recurring complaint about yakuza stories, but when you add in the other issues, it makes this one especially hard to follow.
Despite all that, it's still a very compelling story. I've just accepted that I'm going to have to read it again from the beginning once I catch up, so I can hopefully get a handle on the plot.

Without a doubt this series is Yoneda Kou's magnum opus, a work of a lifetime for sure. It all started out in a oneshot with the age-old premise of unrequited love, and got the darkest most devastating backstory of a character as the backbone to build this manga into the masterpiece that it is today. I had the luck to have been able to follow it since day 1, and in the decade seeing it grow and develop with my own eyes I can say with confidence this is definitely GOAT (greatest of all time) stuff. Yashiro is, without question, the best written, most complex and compelling main character in a BL manga to have ever existed, which isn't a statement I say lightly if you know me. And to think I can still discover new things to ponder over every time I revisit this story in all these years.. Truly a masterpiece.
Hands down, one of the best...

I'm not going to ramble on about the many amazing points of this manga. Other people have already done this, so I will just say this:
(mild spoilers ahead.)
I really love the look on Yashiro's face when he and Doumeki had sex for the first time. He looked absolutely devastated the whole time (like his heart was completely broken, and his weaknesses have all been laid bare) even though the man he loves is making passionate love to him and bringing him to climax like 4 times. That reaction is just one example of why this manga is so perfect. The emotion isn't spelled out for you, but you understand how significant a scene is by the subtle visual cues the mangaka put in. I really like that. It's one of the many things makes this manga stands out above so many others.

I would say I have a good manga in each category and I must say this is my top 1 in the yaoi section. the characters might be the same (the drawing style) but they have story, its not like simple, the mangaka really earn a good rating in this. It has a plot, character and you can feel something when you are reading the manga. I love it. I want more.
