My opinion on volume 1:

I wanted to like it because the art is a-mah-zing but the writing is so lackluster it's sad. The story starts in the middle without giving much context or properly introducing the characters, so for almost 3 long chapters, I didn't give a damn about any of them.

Sakuraba just comes off as a cheater jerk who's very unlikeable and Asami as a bitter person who seems to have a grudge with Sakuraba, but since you have no idea why that is, it's hard to relate to him and like him. Then, part of the reason for ... Asami's bitterness is explained and you start to like Asami a bit more, but still, more information is needed damn it!

Meanwhile, with the added context, Sakuraba becomes even more unlikeable in my eyes. He comes off as insensitive af and just an asshole in general.

The part I disliked the most was when Asami kissed Sakuraba to avoid Sakuraba getting stabbed, it gets brushed off as it's nothing, and worse yet was Sakuraba asking "why did you kiss me?". I don't know mother fucker, maybe to prevent the crazy ex gf from stabbing you to death?!!!

I seriously love the art, it's what kept me reading, but I did not enjoy the story.

I did read vol 2 because I needed answers and this is what I think about it:

It's chapter 2 and I can't stop thinking: "my goodness Sakuraba, just kys already and spare us of your bullshit", so not a great start. At least now I like Asami and I think he's a dumb-dumb badass with an awful taste in men, I mean, that Harada guy? Fuck him with a hot rod all the way to hell for all I care. His poor wife omg. Girls, don't get pregnant!! It's not worth it!

And Sakuraba's sob story doesn't excuse his awful behavior towards Asami and all those women. Like bitch, if you're not ready to come out of the closet that's fine, always do so until you're safe and all that, but that doesn't give anyone a card to toy with other's feelings!! Sakuraba had already hurt Asami in the past and here he is again, just playing with Asami's feelings just because he's scared or wtv tf.

Asami my guy, you deserved better than these two assholes, ugh.

JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY this Manga managed to make me feel so damn angry, I guess that's why I'm writing this. Although that last chapter was so cheesy and sweet, it managed to erase some of the damage.

Recommend it for the drama, the amazing art and Asami.

Don't recommend it because of the drama-llama, Sakuraba and Harada.
