As a nostalgia reread, this was a lot of fun! Of course Dee's behaviour is horrible and he won't take "no" for an answer, and that reallllyyyy can't be viewed as romantic. But reading it with an eye to the context, though it doesn't make it okay, leaves me still able to enjoy it.

That said, I'd forgotten how horrible Bikky is about anyone gay, yipes. His relationship with Ryo is kinda heartwarming, if you subtract all that.
