Everything in this manga has such a mature depiction: the bodies, their personalities, the dialogue, the sensuality depicted every time they kiss or express desire, the enticing carnal passion whenever they have sex, the emotive faces and body language. Even if one acts like a man child you get the sense these are two adult men with their own pasts, secrets, and stakes that are clashing every time they’re together; furthermore, it doesn’t really on major violence or psychological trauma to be mature. It’s a rich conflict that doesn’t get cheapened by juvenile arguments and childish misunderstandings, truly this work is raising my standards and will ruin a lot of contemporary works for me, but damn is it necessary cause yaoi really needs to evolve and diverge from pseudo-shoujo plots and clichés.
