I would like to say at the onset, this is purely my feelings towards the manga and is not meant to be a review.

This is super funny because everything in this manga is loud and raucous (especially the uke), but if we look past the jokes and the funny expressions, this manga is not actually that good at all... it in fact normalises ill-treating your partner - the uke treats the seme like garbage, literal garbage, to the extent that he gets happy for even the smallest piece of crumb that the uke throws his way... he has been in love with the uke ... for five years (that's right, FIVE YEARS!). He is even forced to "blackmail" (not really) the uke, even after trying to communicate and ensure that the uke feels loved and not forced into a relationship, just because the uke needs an excuse to be with him. Shy is not the word you want to use to describe him; stubborn and cruel is a more appropriate adjective. The uke brushes off all these nice attempts made by the seme while trying simultaneously to get the benefits of having a boyfriend without putting the effort of love. He is just really toxic. He could in fact do more justice to the role of an evil boyfriend, rather than that of a ML in my opinion.
They are engaged in a relentless and vicious cycle througout the story - the seme tries to lure the uke into a relationship, the uke refuses (quite rudely, if I may add), the seme begins to think he is overbearing and starts to pull back, the uke throws him a small crumb, and the seme comes back wagging his tail like a puppy.
This crap continues for five volumes, *SIGHHHH*.
The uke never comforts the seme for the insecurities he has about the relationship (and should, given the nature of the relationship between them) and always acts as though he is doing a huge favour to the seme by allowing him to spoil him (like really? what kind of twisted mf are you to not even appreciate the love you recieve?)
Sorry, neither is your heart nor your body made of gold, for you to think so bloody high about yourself.

I would choose moringa over tatsumi any day. Atleast he attempts, and is quite human...

I would like to start by saying that I don't generally write reviews for the BL that I read, but this manga is so FANTASTIC that not writing a review on it would be a greater crime. But frankly I wouldn't call this a review, more like a long feelings-packed commentary :)
So to begin with, to say that I really, really, really love this manga is an understatement because I read this manga twice a month, on average. It is the most funniest, sassiest, sweetest, most beautiful BL that I have come across. In fact, if Minato Mito was an actual straight, real man, I ... wouldn't care I am not Japanese or that I might not be able to communicate with him, I would totally do ANYTHING to snag that man -- that's how much I love him. But having said that, I wouldn't, because Minato Mito should always belong to Shizuma Ikushima 🖤
I love Minato Mito! His hair, his snappy-yet-sweet-sassy personality, his bike, his painful love for Shizuma -- everything about him just makes me feel cozy and alive... I just wish Shizuma could bestow more love upon Minato... sure, he's nice, and caring, but I don't feel like he likes Minato the way Minato likes him, you know? Minato just drowns EVERYTHING in his love for Shizuma... WAHHHH!!! I just want to cuddle up Minato and take him home with me!!! 😭
I love the man-girls in the bar! They are the most perfect backdrop for Minato, and I doubt if anything can fit better. They are so flamboyant and sassy and funny and so protective of my dear, dear Minato that I would like to put them in the side pouch of the suitcase I am planning to kidnap Minato Mito in 😂
Maybe I should rewrite this as, "A confession of my love for Minato Mito" rather than a feelings-packed commentary on Therapy Game because I don't think I have even thought about Shizuma during this entire heart-gushing, romantic confession for Minato Mito... too bad, he's gay. And fictional 😂
I just want to tell I love Minato Mito, and I am eternally grateful to Hinohara Meguru for bringing him to life and helping me to realise that it was possible for me to love a story this much!
A live adaptation with an equal amount of sassiness would be greatly appreciated!!!

There are only a handful of mangas that I really, truly, from-the-bottom-of-my-heart like, and this is one of them. Nothing about this yaoi is typical and everything about it - the art, the relationship dynamics, the plot - and I mean EVERYTHING about it is super engaging and wonderful! The uke-seme roles are not rigid and the characters are three-dimensional. The plot is interesting and keeps on your toes the whole time. I also really like the way their relationship developed and paced itself to become the way it did at the end. I thought that was done very beautifully! The story is also thrilling ... and psychological, without having a lot of mature elements to depict the same, which in my opinion makes it the best psychological BL I have ever come across. All in all, it has become a BL that is very close to my heart :)

If I could give a positive infinity as a score, I would.
