Loved

This review contains spoilers. I was really pleased with the development and the topics. Little spoiler, but it’s not often I can find a good M&S plot with good consensual respect. This was 10/10, really cute, wholesome, and easing. Beautiful work <3

Better than expected

This review contains spoilers. Cuties that found their way to each other. It glosses over s&m but is a cute exploration of a relationship with a surprising twist from the ex.

A comforting read

The characters were such cuties. This story focused heavily on their intimacy but it also showed character growth.

Sweet and Salty at the same time!

This was a really fun read and I thought the dynamic between the pair was so cute! Of course, the steamy scenes were really well done too.

Sadist, love, and some BDSM

This review contains spoilers. Three words is what I would use to describe this book sadist, BDSM, and love is how it is like it’s a nice and surprising in some ways but pretty good book

I’m not normally a fan of younger top/older bott…

But I’m making an exception for Namio-sensei. I absolutely adore her art, and this manga was my introduction to her. She definitely loves her blonde x black couples haha.

Started slow

I’m a big fan of BDSM themed BLs but when I started this I didn’t get hooked right away so I wasn’t sure if I would like it. Eventually, thankfully, as I read more, it got better!

Well...

This review contains spoilers. Would have expected more for an 18+ story. The drawings themselves are good. I liked the beginning and was promising.

Overall would not recommend

I felt like it was missing something. There were some sweet moments so glad the protagonists got themselves sorted by the end but lots of it left a sour taste in my mouth and if it was real life I'd have a field day pointing out all the red flags...I don't think it was a very healthy portrayal of s&m but I get that it's fiction and whatever

お手柔らかにって感じ

It feels like being gentle

きつめのSMとかは好きじゃないんでこれくらいがちょうど良かったです。でもドMとかいう割にはそこまでじゃね？と思いましたが、幸せならOKでーす。後、見た目は攻めそうなのに、実は受けでめちゃめちゃにされてるってのがいいんですよねーー。。。ご馳走様でした。

I don't like tight SMs, so this was just right. But that's enough for DoM, isn't it? I thought, but if you're happy, it's OK. After that, it looks like they're going to attack, but it's actually nice that they're messed up by receiving it... Thank you for the meal.

作者買いです

I'm buying the author

最初はDomSubかなと思ったのですが、SとMの欲求が満たされることを重要視した社会のお話で、この作品独自の設定でした。SとMがパートナーとなり互いの欲求を満たし合う制度を社会が後押ししていて、それは恋人や結婚相手とは別に持っていてもよい関係。これのお陰で犯罪が随分減ったとか、そういう視点も興味深かったです。少し変わった設定でも、当たり前のように話の展開に集中できるのは、はなさわ先生の成せる業。話の流れに合うように、自然と設定が理解できるように話が作られている感じがしました。Sの聖司とMの雅親がマッチングで紹介されて出会い、そこから関係を育んでいくお話でしたが、SとかMとか関係なく、パートナーとの関係を、こんな風に試行錯誤しながら丁寧に進めていけるなら、素晴らしい関係を築けるのではと思いました。その結果別れを選択するカップルもいるかもですが、共に過ごした時間はその後の人生の糧になると思います。こういうことって、どうでもいい相手とはできないこと。相手が好きで、どうしてもこの人がいい！っていう執着があるからこそ、ぶつかり合ってしんどくても、面倒くさくても、話し合って何としても擦り合わせて、より良い未来に繋げたいって気持ちになれるような気がします。番外編も読みましたが、とっても良かったです。お仕置き＆ご褒美Hのお話でしたが、本編を読んでいる時から、私は雅親が感じている顔が好きでした。気持ち良さや満たされ感が伝わってくる表情が、すごくいいなと思います。それがたくさん拝めるありがたいお話でした。

At first, I thought it was DomSub, but it was a social story that placed importance on satisfying the desires of S and M, and the setting was unique to this work. Society supports a system where S and M become partners and satisfy each other's desires, and it is a relationship that can be separate from a lover or marriage partner. The point of view that crime has decreased quite a bit thanks to this was also interesting. Being able to concentrate on developing the story as a matter of course, even in a slightly different setting is Hanasawa-sensei's job. I felt that the story was made so that I could naturally understand the setting so that it fits the flow of the story. It was a story where S Seiji and M's Masachika were introduced and met through matching, and they nurtured their relationship from there, but I thought that if we could carefully proceed with our relationship with our partner through trial and error in this way, regardless of S or M, we could have a wonderful relationship. Some couples may choose to break up as a result, but I think the time spent together will be food for the rest of their lives. This kind of thing is something you can't do with someone you don't care about. I like my partner, and I love this person no matter what! I feel that it is precisely because I have this obsession that I feel like I want to bump into each other, even if it's tough or bothersome, and argue at any cost, and connect to a better future. I also read the extra edition, and it was really good. It was a story about Punishment & Reward H, but from the time I read the main story, I loved the face Masachika felt. I think the expression that conveys a sense of comfort and satisfaction is really nice. It was a thankful story that I was able to read a lot.

キャラが最高すぎる

The characters are too awesome

This review contains spoilers. 一見高飛車だけど実はめちゃくちゃにされたい、褒められたい雅親。優しく穏やかだけどドＳ欲求ありな聖司。2人のキャラが最高でした。お互いの本当の欲望が少しずつ明らかになる展開も大好き。躾けたり世話したり褒めたり、なんだかDomSubバースのようなお話でした。エッチもたくさんでドキドキしました。

This review contains spoilers. At first glance, Masachika is a high-flying car, but in reality, he wants to be messed up and praised. Seiji is kind and gentle, but he also has a craving for small things. The two characters were awesome. I also love the development where each other's true desires are revealed little by little. It was a story about discipline, care, and praise, and it was kind of like the DomSub universe. There was a lot of sex and it was exciting.
