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.
Seeing Kurose for the first time in two months, Shirotani takes a big step forward in their relationship--and his treatment--by holding hands with Kurose. Then, after Kurose fails to invite him home, Shirotani chases after him! Could this new, more impulsive side of Shirotani signal a new phase in this tumultuous relationship?

Review:
It's really hard to tell where this couple stands. A couple of times
already, it has seemed like they were making up and taking a step
forward, and then suddenly they're not speaking again. It feels like
they've finally accepted their feelings for each other in this
volume, but then the ending gives the sense that something else is
coming along to mess it up. But even without that, they're still not
quite used to each other yet.
This is a guilty pleasure romance, and I really enjoy reading it, but
it keeps reminding me how unhealthy it really is. When we see what
happened to Kurose when he was younger that led to his behavior, it's
actually even more unsettling. He has some even bigger problems than
Shirotani does, and it makes me second guess them being together, if he's even worse for Shirotani than it seems.
They both have some serious stuff to work through.
And I am undoubtedly going to read the next one, because I'm hooked.
It's dirty, questionable smut, but it's hot and intense and the art
is really good, and I can't get enough.
