While the genre is all too common these days, using philosophy as the main conceit for connecting our two main characters is an interesting move, and the dynamics between the two MCs are very refreshing and unique for BLs of this kind. Whie I do hope for a bit more philosophy, I find it but a minor complaint. The romance is relatively easy and pleasant, not cloyingly sweet nor full of drama. The art is also very clean. I'm particularly impressed by the way MC is portrayed. He is one hell of a sleaze and yet he's also very loveable. It's a rare achievement, and signof a good writing.

The love interest is a nice contrast for the MC, but he's not too annoying either. I find that characters like him have a danger of being overtly strict and annoying, so I'm glad that he manages to avoid that.
