This story is the mid step between the classical hyper toxic BL manga and healthy relationship goals. If you enjoy and are used to the genre you will like it! Just like someone who is used to magical girls animes are used to certain tropes. Don't look for anything super deep, characters just turn to fucking as a last resource eeevery time.
+ Characters: uke and seme trope in which the seme seems to be more experienced, mature, and older than the uke. Age gap is not a main focus (aka, not a kink), but it is well represented. Overall, the characters are not particularly
...
deep. Dialogues are a bit incongruent.
+ Background of the story: TSD is about a city-man who moves to the countryside, so the contrast of both ways of living is a main driver of the story and it is very funny and pleasing to read. I think it's well done for such a short story :D.
+ Plot: it has some unexpected takes I have not read before! They made me Woah a couple of times. Still, it's not eyeopening, but if you are used to the genre the originality might make you laugh!
+ Style: it is very well drawn and cute, seriously. It has a fine sketch-like style.
+ GOOD POINTS:
almost no toxic-woman-in-between trope, it dallies around it in a quirky way.
almost acknowledges toxic dynamics withouth really walking the whole path.
REALLY IT IS LIKE A MID STEP BETWEEN TOXIC TROPES AND A DECENT RELATIONSHIP.
+ BAD POINTS: will we ever kill the toxic BL tropes?
