Why everyone is surprised that the director is a male character? If i remember well; when shizuma's vet teacher, the one that is from the director's family, came to the vet clinic; he said something to the director. like he should cut his hair. That the director's father would prefer the director with short hair. The way it was said, it was clearly like "you should cut your hair, be a man". Since then i clearly assume it was a male character.
I don't really understand some "bad" comments. I love the art, it is really beautiful, i just fond some character to look alike but i doblove the drawing which are well done. Also i love the uke, he has different type of trauma which he will have to overcome. He will need his family (his group) and a friend (obviously the "enemy" of the seme), but above all a reason to overcome his trauma: the seme. The main character are all sel well developed and we can see evolution since the beginning of the story. The Uke was cheerful but did not say anything when not doing well and the seme Who was all about success and selfish is now crying for someone else. Tobmake it short i love that story and i am waiting for what's next
