"He was just an obnoxious cop, then he saved my life, and now he's my unrequited love..."
Punk kid Jurouta manages to turn his life around after a run-in with Detective Andou, who is injured in the process of saving him. Years later now working as a vet, despite his feelings of gratitude, Jurouta is still weighed down by the guilt of causing Andou-san's injury. Add to this the pang of unrequited love and the addition of the annoying little Takemura who pops up and conflict ensues!
All of the characters are pretty badass (Takemura...maybe XD), and very likable (again Takemura...maybe XD). Both the seme and uke look like adults should, and the smex is most definitely hot.
Naono-sensei's one of those mangaka that, when she adds in certain traits like a lost limb or blindness, it never feels exploitative or gratuitous. This story is no exception, as Andou's injury is perfectly plausible but doesn't detract from the overall storyline. This oneshot, at its core, is about emotion. Love, guilt, jealousy, self-loathing and regret. Definitely worth the read.
This story was so cute! I absolutely loved it! It was very typical Naono Bohra (I'm a big fan). It is a story about a vet and a policeman who has retired due to an injury. The pair's age difference is quite big and, like in most of sensei's stories, there is a little violence and the characters aren't your typical salarymen. I mean, how many stories has a protagonist who is missing a leg and can still kick ass convincingly? ^^
I highly recommend.
P.S It's hot, and the vet makes sooo cute faces during their activities. I promise you'll laugh.
