DISCLAIMER: I've read the two translated volumes of this story. Below is my review of both.

Read this because of a tumblr post I saw. I don't know that I like this; personally, there is an inherent issue of consent
(Adashi being able to read everyone's minds & Kurosawa's unhealthily obsessive crush on Adashi, as well as Tsuge's ability to mind read)
that is central to the premise of this story, making it wholly unavoidable. Had this element be stripped, it would be a really cute story of two people finding their way to each other and falling in love as the relationship progresses.

Also bears saying that in the two volumes, there are two separate, isolated incidents of attempted sexual assault on a couple of characters, one of whom is the main character's Love Interest
(a woman almost gets assaulted on a company trip by two dudes from another company; Kurosawa was implied to have been drugged at a private meeting by a female company president - both are avoided)
