Insecure 'Wife' and Husband Combo.
I really liked how the mangaka portrays Hanyuu as some love-sick adorable idiot who has an unrequited love for his roommate and so called 'husband'. The pacing was nice as we get some backstory and what their personalities are and I simply adore Hanyuu for just being so god damn adorable. Though there were a lot of misunderstandings and I'm glad that Amano realizes that communication is truly the key in a good healthy relationship, I do think their relationship was so fragile back then.
Of course there were some non-con acts happening in the first chapter which honestly isn't
...
a surprise since most BL just has their characters forcing their love interests for some reason rather than talking it out. I feel that especially in the first few chapters Amano is quite emotionless. Whether Hanyuu is really obvious with his crush and blushes almost in every page, Amano has no visible signs that he even liked Hanyuu and wasn't just messing around with him. I mean, couldn't he a be a bit more flustered? Because at the time, Amano is deeply in love with Hanyuu as well.
The conflict was also executed wonderfully as the feeling of my heart being crushed as their misunderstandings grew into something bigger that really would have separated them if not for Amano stepping in and actually getting his feelings across Hanyuu.
One thing that bothered me was the 'rival'; Sagara. Sagara was a character that appeared out of nowhere yet his attraction towards Hanyuu never got a reason even until the end. Don't get me wrong though, Sagara was a decent character that brought some added important conflict for the main couple to actually sort things out and I'm glad that he fulfilled his role yet It was sort of sad to not let the cause of his attraction come to light as he's honestly a decent character.
Overall it was a good manga depicting some surprisingly good internal conflicts and insecurities. 9/10!
