Finally, it's done. The story started really well, and then it went downhill. The end is kind of abrupt.
I didn't like Kurose. I believe that's not how therapy works, or at least that's not how a psychotherapist acts. Rather than a psychotherapist, Kurose was more like a manipulative psychopath.
I can read about problematic and messed up relationships as long as it makes me feel something, but this one was boring.
I liked the idea of the story, but it just didn't click with me.

As problematic as this seemed sometimes I think that it was a good call to stick with it until the end. After learning more about the characters and really understanding where they are coming from I can say that I still ship it and am happy that they were able to work things out. This ended the way that I was hoping it would and it was a wild ride to get here!
Cuando arranqué a leer [b:テンカウント 1 Ten Count 1 |19508512|テンカウント 1 Ten Count 1 |Rihito Takarai|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1472865999l/19508512._SX50_.jpg|27625418], por alguna razón tenía en mi mente la idea de que la historia era básicamente porno gay, y la verdad es que no estuve tan far off. Si bien por momentos la cosa se puso turbia (principalmente en lo relacionado con el pasado de los protagonistas), y de que no sentí que al final esos traumas se resolvieran (uno llama al papá, y el otro mágicamente se lo encuentra a su interés amoroso de cuando era chico, pero eso fue todo), la historia me gustó. No es lo mejor que leí en mi vida ni nada por el estilo, pero sirvió para pasar el rato.

Right to the end, I still don't really know how I feel. This volume feels softer but more serious, and I kind of wish this level of depth was utilized in the previous volumes. We learn so much about the characters here, vs. in two chunks in previous volumes, that I think a lot of the "issues" readers may have with the serious might have been better tolerated and understood if things had been revealed earlier.
I don't know if the point of this series is to make readers uncomfortable but wanting to read on anyway, but I've noticed with a lot of manga I've read lately that pacing is always an issue. In an effort to draw the story out, so much filler is put in (in this case, smut) and the real plot is kind of added in at random, generally fairly far apart. As a result, a lot of stuff gets crammed in at the end in shorter series like this; honestly if I hadn't known it was only 6 volumes, I probably would have stopped reading after volume 2. It was only because each volume is so quick to read and I had them all out already that I even bothered.

Och nu är det över. En kort men väldigt bra och kompakt story. Jag gillar att även när de bråkar så är det ej seriöst och de blir inte utdraget, det skulle säker bli det om det var en längre serie. Mangan i sin helhet är väldigt sött och deras relation är bra men den har sina väldigt vuxna delar och därför är den ratad mature vilket den verkligen förtjänar i alla vol förutom den första.
