Harada is one of my all-time favorite mangaka. I love how she is not afraid to explore situations regardless of how they are viewed by society. Her portrayal of twisted and psychological situations is so masterful and interesting, that I can't help but want to read each of her stories as soon as they are translated. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

^ This. This is the reason I read Harada. Honestly, I am not a huge fan of BL that is nothing but the sex scene tied together by minimal dialogue and no real plot - this is one of the reasons most of my favorite BL series are multiple volumes. However, Harada is to weave really deep stories into her works while maintaining all the hot and heavy scenes.
IMO, Harada's works are less "porn with plot" and more "psychological love stories with graphic sex scenes". Which in the world of BL is a welcome deviation from the norm.

I really want to finish reading this manga, but it has just been taking me forever to get through it. I really appreciate the depth of the characters and the story line, however the developments take so long that I start to feel frustrated. I feel like this would be easier to handle in the form of an anime series (for me at least). I guess I just get a little bit bored with the story sometimes because I'm not good at understanding the characters, so certain things that should be exciting feel a bit confusing instead. IDK, I'm through the 20th volume already so I refuse to give up now. (● ̄(エ) ̄●)

Eh, I didn't really like this story. At first, I liked the idea that there was a misunderstanding because he took the wrong AV. Seemed pretty creative to me. However, the clerk following him to the cafe, coming onto him even though he said no, and then doing full penetration even though it was his first time was a turn off. I think it was funny that the MC was addicted afterwards, but IRL the sex would have been super painful and I can't see how the MC would have been even mildly okay with what happened... ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Haha. Chin Chin cafe XDD
Also, I am really curious to see if Waka will be able to convince Ten-san to top him. That would be awesome!!! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
