A whole bunch of new characters were introduced at the start of this one, I assume to flesh out the backstory of Seven and Eight. My eyes were glazing over and I just found it really hard to care. I was just hoping that Seven would make up with Akamatsu because the relationship between those two was all I really cared about. 

I do feel bad for Eight, though. He and Seven were abused as children and they only had each other. It’s only natural that he would feel left behind when Seven ran away to make his own life.  It does kind of shed some light on WHY Seven seemed to be so happy when he was like, literally homeless. I guess it was the first time in his life that he felt free.

There’s a really jarring tone shift in Chapter 15, where the boys go to a resort. Like, yeah, this cute fluff of them just being in love is kinda what I came for, but it comes immediately after the backstory infodump and it felt strange and overly light comparatively. I did love the ending, it had some super romantic smut to top it all off. 

Overall, this story is just OK. If you came for the plot you’ll be disappointed but if you like idiots being in love, this is great.
