It's a sweet and uncomplicated story with a few emotional peaks along the way, but nothing that makes it dark in the twisted sense. There are some points in which you're led to think that it might veer into clichés in regards to the money, but it ends up being played surprisingly "unproblematic". It's not easy to do themes of grief and acceptance in yaoi, but Soutome does a good job of it here.

Despite the rougher beginning, the story gets better as Sougo and Hiromu get to know and trust each other; the way they provide each other with emotional support was -chef's kiss-, and we love men who aren't afraid to cry and talk about their feelings. I also liked that the side characters also get development and interact meaningfully with the leads, instead of being relegated to the background.

It's not the most realistic plot ever, but I found this manga enjoyable solely from the interactions between the characters, and the art (Soutome's art has always been great, especially in sex scenes).
