I keep coming back again and again throughout the years, because this story is sad and sweet and full of hope and passion and gorgeous art. But, overall, it accurately portrays BDSM psique. Yaoi gives us doms that are evil psychological torturers that get off on humiliation, and subs that are hopeless useless human servants who'll lick his master's footsteps for a good boy pat.... And, honestly, that's a tiny fraction of what bdsm can be.
