I am rereading this story and loving it all over again. Yes the start of their relationship is abusive and manipulative. But just keep pushing through. By the end of volume two (this is an omnibus) I was completely in love with them as a couple again. The butterflies and anticipation as I wanted for Nemu to finally realize his feelings just gave me all the warm and fuzzies inside. So glad I decided to reread this series.

non con stuff, as always is fucked up, however the angst in the plot is very good, and kind of well developed!

Uh, whoa. I went into this manga thinking I had a vague idea of what to expect (I'm not adverse/unfamiliar with m/m stories). However, I didn't expect the sound effects (squelching noises..), as well as how rape-y it comes accross. Romance develops eventually, and it does better the story - but it doesn't fully redeem, not even close. But if you like your manga with plenty of drama, sex, and blackmail - this is probably for you.
