I liked the themes of consent in this one. (I feel like that’s sometimes hard to come by in this genre.) Could have done without that ending, lol, but I guess it was an important stakes-building moment. 

This one was relatively sweet and fluffy for the most part. It has some very dark themes as well. I liked the fight with delinquents at the park, and how it kind of inspired their first kiss. I’m kind of unclear the age difference between these two, because it’s a lot of “first times” for Akamatsu, (who says he has never even been hugged by a guy before, not even by a close friend) but I think that Seven has just lived a lot of life in his short years. The reveal with his past as a sex worker was kind of obvious, but still unsettling. All things considered, I think he is doing a very admirable job of being a caring boyfriend. I hope things calm down for them soon and I hope Akamatsu gets to show him all the love and tenderness he deserves.
