The premise and the first half of the story really might turn off a lot of people and believe me it did the same to me as well. But there's actually a reason for this behavior. The boy was experiencing everything his father did in his childhood which is making his memories mess up with his father's thus the distasteful crush love started. The second half of the story however completely made a 180° jump and we were given Ninomae as the form of a medicine which would later cure our Male lead from his weird complex. The story is worth reading and veryenjoyable. The art work is especially one should enjoy reading. The love story which started rather slowly in the second half was unique, different, somewhat realistic and very wholesome. I repeat don't stop reading and continue. You will understand why he is doing this and how big of a character growth he will get in the last few chapters.
