Review:
I know that this book has some real issues. Quite a bit of the way
that Shirotani's issues are handled are very problematic. He's really
fragile here, and yet Kurose does appear to abuse that. It's hard to
tell if any of this is actually helping Shirotani or not; he's still
pretty much in the same state as when the series started, maybe even
worse.
This does really bother me, but at the same time, I'm still quite
enjoying this series. I like it for the problematic, dirty smut that
it is.
I do like how intense Shirotani's reactions are, though. Every time
someone touches him, when he's worried about germs, when him and
Kurose start getting intimate. I can really tell what is happening in
his head, and his worries and reactions feel very real.
This volume gets quite dirty, as well. There are a couple of really
intense and dirty scenes between the two, and I quite like them.
Even if parts of this series aren't good, I'm really enjoying reading
it for what it is. I want to read more.
