Aa there's a lot of things i like in this manga. I like how realistic their decision making process are. It's not easy for people to easily pinpoint what we truly feel, more so putting it into words, or even properly communicating it. That's why i appreciate uke trying to figure it out in his own pace. And even after there's a misstep, seme gave him enough space until the proper timing, not forcing stuff. And this goes on during their relationship. They can't read each other's minds so misunderstandings are inevitable, but everytime they find themselves over the limit, they know when to pull back. They're so matured and manly i love it so much.
Many authors seem to not put importance to these realistic aspects of relationships in mangas. Either it's simply bad/lazy writing, or they don't get enough pages for their work, but anyway i hope to see more of this.
Ahhh i like how salty shio-san is. Name suits perfectly lol. And he's salty not to the point of being overly sassy or feisty that he leads the other man by the nose (power ukes in mangas are always like that) And he's not passive/submissive because he's prideful enough as a grown man. There are times he would shy away from his own feelings but not to the point of denying it with all his might like a tsundere. And he's decisive enough if he needs to (ooh so manly)
Point is, he's a well balanced and realistic character, unlike most in the japanese manga which usually focuses in one trait then amping it up to the extreme.
