If you read the blurb of this novel, then you know that it is going to be problematic from the start. The playboy Maya, blackmails fellow student, Nemugasa, into a sexual relationship. But I think that if you can accept the fact that a book is problematic, and see the reasons why it is, then you can enjoy the unproblematic parts of the story. And I did. If you disregard the blackmail, it is a cute story. I also like how the story evolves. How the relationship goes from a physical one, to one where both characters want to be with each other and respect each other's wishes. They just had to start off at the completely wrong place.
With this volume bind up, it leaves me feeling as if it could be a standalone novel, so I do wonder where the rest of the series will go. I hope that the story continues to be interesting and won't go down hill.
Would I recommend this book? Ummm.... This is hard because it doesn't show a healthy relationship (at least in the beginning), and perpetuates the negative aspects of yaoi mangas, but if you are a person that can put things aside and forgive characters, then maybe this manga is for you. I do also want to mention that this manga probably has the most graphic artwork.

Theres nothing cute about the book. The relationship can’t even be called a relationship - within the first 30 pages Maya handcuffe Nemugasa against a chain fence and literally assaults him and then for the rest of the book continuously blackmails him into sex. Its not cute or sexy or fun to read. Its wrong and I regret buying this

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.
