This is a gem. Like, a true gem.

- First, some people might be bothered by the concept of the couple. Something like a "charity" relationship where the hot/talented/popular guy falls head over heels for an 'ugly' kind of loser character, who doesn't really have any redeeming traits other than being hardworking. That can tickle our brains a bit into thinking "There's something wrong" or something...

BUT! Hear me out. The ambience, the dialogs, the true CHEMISTRY between the characters. Everything flows so naturally and with hints of sensuality and intimacy that you can't help but get butterflies. It's a fluffy story, there's no heavy drama nor ... unecessary jealousy plots, but unlike most fluffy BL I've read, this one doesn't fall flat after the first chapters. The conversations aren't cliché, the soft touches and snuggles, the natural feeling of their flirting are so well done that it never gets monotone and all throughout the story you have a constant sense of development on their relationship.

+A plus for me is the whole ass kinky nature of the hot/popular guy's attraction for the younger little ugly duckling counterpart. There's this eccentricity about it that makes up for a very colorful couple and just really highlights the sense of lusting in the characters in a very unique way.

The artstyle isn't your convencional bishounen aesthetic, but instead reminds me a bit (the atmosphere of the story as well) of Doukyuusei. Those Doukyuusei enthusiasts, you can be sure you'll dig this one as well!
