01.2019:

It was good to see Tomoya overcoming his insecurities. Meeting Kaido put some things into perspective for him. Their journey from friendship to relationship developed at a nice pace at first. Kaido's frequent declarations of love after they got together was a bit much for me personally, though.
Tomoya's statement towards the end came totally out of the blue and didn't fit the tone of the story at all, in my opinion. Tomoya's fairly new to being in a (sexual) relationship and is a bit embarrassed and shy about the whole thing so he tells Kaido to take the initiative, putting Tomoya under pressure or using violence if need be. I can understand Tomoya wanting Kaido to take the lead since he's inexperienced but gladly giving him permission to do so with violence does not sit right with me, even when Tomoya tells Kaido (right afterward) that he believes Kaido would never do something like that to him in the first place.

2.75 Sterne - es fing ganz süß an, aber ich finde, die Liebesgeschichte nahm gegen Ende problematische Züge an.

The reviews of this had me under a false impression that the ending was problematic, but this just tells me that none of y'all are a safe space for dom/sub or bdsm enthusiasts. There is nothing "problematic" about exploring rough sex or ""violence"" (putting this in quotes because the right phrasing is not coming to me rn) in a safe environment with a partner you trust. Clearly Tomoya trusts Kaido, and Kaido is shown to be considerate of him in the sex scene that follows this declaration.
Seriously I wanna put some of y'all reviewers in a room with bdsm enthusiasts and watch you speedrun shitting your pants over consensual sex.

Eine seichte BL für Zwischendurch, nichts Besonderes und auch storytechnisch etwas dünn, aber ganz nett zum Einmal-Lesen.

Eine solide 3.5
Auf jeden Fall eine ganz nette Geschichte, hab's gern gelesen, war aber auch nicht wirklich was sehr besonderes. Schöner Zeichenstil :)
So zwischendurch durchaus empfehlbar (solange ihr damit klarkommt dass der Protagonist null Selbstwertgefühl hat).
