Damn, this was a great read.. I found it to be actual art and more than just a senseless BL sex scroll. Honestly I have kept so many screenshots from this manhwa. The characters are stunning - drawn absolutely perfect. It was refreshing how nothing looked odd or cringe, especially in terms of the boys’ faces and generalized expressions. Everything is so seamless! There’s a huge emphasis on eye contact too, which I think is what I loved the most about it all. The steamy scenes were beyond good. So much tension it’s unbelievable. Energy felt actually real(author pulled off something most cannot in that regard)and the way the boys interacted with one another was just intense. I loved every moment between them.

Although from my perspective it’s important to note that some parts got a little lagging, concerning the plot and overall story, but I loved the characters so much that I didn’t even care about that. That’s how awesome the art and general feel between the seme and uke became. I’d have given it a 10 if it weren’t for some of the weird ass plot handles, is all.

It’s truly a story with exceptionally written characters you grow attached to and love for moments long after completing.

I’ll never forget it! A forever fav …have that gut feeling about it.
