I was so excited to read this because it's so cool to find stories that address gender and sexuality experiences in different ways But it is so difficult to read the chapters done by whatever translation group this is. I find the imagery they use disturbing and grotesque and I hate how they treat the entire comic like something inherently perverse. Especially when it comes to the way the seme expresses his gender non conformity. I mean, I KNOW it's a smut comic, but if you actually read it, there is way more emphasis on the characters, their emotions and relations with one another than on the smut scenes (and even the smut does such a great job with depicting the sensuality and very human interaction between the two of them!) But yeah, it just feels incredibly disrespectful --especially how they seem to be viewing being trans or dressing in drag as something inherently perverted and dirty (I know he's hot, but this is just giving catcalling-old-man vibes)
