The second story really bothered me. The sensei was awful. In the last chapter he made comments about how he didn't want to force him, and I couldn't help thinking, "You've been forcing him the whole time!!". I honestly think that Ikumi might have some version of Stockholm Syndrome. The sensei was always forcing him into things. And I know consent tends to be blurry in yaoi (or manga in general I guess), but this went past the fairly standard 'resist until you realize it feels good' protests. There were times when Ikumi was actually thinking about how sensei was scaring him.
I wanted Ikumi to end up with Shin and for the sensei to get fired, honestly.
