Goodreads Synopsis:
Corporate secretary Shirotani suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder in this doctor-patient romance fraught with compulsion!
Corporate secretary Shirotani suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder. One day he meets Kurose, a therapist who offers to take him through a ten-step program to cure him of his compulsion. As the two go through each of the ten steps, Shirotani’s attraction to his counselor grows.
At the mercy of Kurose’s hands and words, Shirotani finally hears the full reason Kurose fell in love with him. The truth is such a surprise that Shirotani runs away from him in shock, and it isn’t long before his body starts aching for Kurose’s touch, causing Shirotani to soothe his own desire. But in doing so, he scares up memories of the traumatic event at the core of his compulsion.

Review:
I think I've just given in at this point. I know that this series has
some serious issues regarding healthy relationships. But as a guilty
pleasure, I really like it.
This series is so dirty. Explicitly dirty. I love it.
We get to see what started Shirotani's problems, and why he feels so
shameful and bad all the time. It's honestly heartbreaking.
Hearing Kurose's reasons for wanting to be with Shirotani is actually
more unhealthy and problematic, in my mind. It's even a little
disturbing, and the way he's mean to Shirotani is a bit upsetting.
And yet I like the way that he reassures Shirotani afterward. It is
sadistic, for sure, at times.
I honestly really enjoy this series, and am looking forward to the
next one. They're bad, and yet so good at the same time.
