It's always the ones who seem so straight laced ...
| Ichiru is going through the difficulties of realizing that he is different from his peers. He is struggling with accepting that he doesn't like girls. He has fallen completely for his teacher, Seaki. Seaki is a seme of the cold, emotionless type. Our uke, Ichiru, is the opposite. He is purely driven by emotion and never bothers his pretty little head with thinking. Seaki appears to be epitome of straight laced and white bread. Turns out, he likes to casually screw students, even if other students are watching. |  |
Seaki repeatedly rejects Ichiru. Ichiru doggedly chases after his teacher anyway. Seaki has no issues with just screwing Ichiru, but Ichiru can’t accept sex without love. So, he pretty much stalks his teacher and suffers through having unrequited love.
I was surprised to see this manga jump right into having sexual content within the first couple of pages. Ichiru and friends are watching porn and start touching themselves. So, I have hopes this manga will be wonderfully smutty later on. So far, nothing explicit is shown.
The art is fairly standard yaoi manga art. It's good, but nothing special. It's also hard to pick out any qualities that differentiate the art in this from many of the other manga on my bookshelf.
