A café worker meets and dates a man who frequents his café, the man appears perfect and as time goes on it's clear he appears so because he hides a lot about himself. The café worker eventually breaks up with him and quits his job to start over somewhere new. He joins a cleaning service through which he meets his now thoroughly miserable ex. Neither can seem to stay away from the other.
This story also contains a meeting and get-together of another couple, which has a relationship somehow much healthier than the first couple's, but both are interesting for their own reasons. Like some other commenters, I did end up preferring the second couple with the "bad boy" top. This is a shame because it is also in part due to how completely the author shifts the focus from the first couple to the second for a rather large portion of the story. To the point where the first couple kind of disappears. There's also a lot of... coincidences? I'm not sure that's the right word, but it wont come to me right now. Either way, the plot starts feeling a bit shaky because of these coincidences, and if you think too much about them it can affect your enjoyment of the story somewhat. Fortunately the characters and their related drama is engaging enough that one can ignore this, at least i could. The fluff is sweet and really nice, but I do find myself having a lot of problems with the first couple, or mainly the original "Mr. Perfect" of the story. His issues are sort of touched upon, but not enough and his behavior makes me really uncomfortable, even if his partner dismisses it. I may be overly sensitive due to the course on domestic abuse I'm currently taking, but like... he leaves bruises on his partner... his partner doesn't enjoy it and has wanted him to stop. He sort of says it, during sex, but it gets ignored, and I don't remember him bringing it up to Mr. Perfect again outside of sex. And that is a problem... a kind of loose end I don't think ever gets properly resolved. Later on towards the end there is a scene of non-con. I'd call it sexual assault even, but despite the partner fainting at the end of it, and scaring the shit out of Mr. Perfect (for very good reason), it's not treated with the gravitas it should have. The story ended on a sweet lovely note, but I remain worried despite that, because of just how many bruises the partner suffers. It also makes it more uncomfortable, because the partner doesn't seem to see this behavior as a problem after an apology, something that is very VERY real in cases of domestic violence. It's starts off small and escalates and I felt like that's what I was witnessing with the first couple. Mr. Perfect needs SO MUCH therapy. Like he badly needs it, and his lover isn't the thing that will fix him. The realism of the abuse in here hits too close, and it feels a little irresponsible of the author to just sweep it away with a blanket happy ending like that. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the first couple is happy together. I want to see them together. I'm glad the partner is so good with de-escalating things that could have turned bad with how obsessive and possessive Mr. Perfect sometimes gets. However I feel it would have been better to see Mr. Perfect get more help for his issues and for the story to at least mention that he's using other methods to work on himself. A lover cannot and should not be the "fix", not in a story that gets this close to real.
*Ahem* sorry for the rant, anyway the rest of the story is good and I would recommend it. Just... not to people who could be affected by the stuff described above. Like many yaoi manga, there's a few instances of attempted sexual assault or outright attempted rape by antagonists. Oh!! ALSO there's attempted suicide, it's not graphic and is immediately thwarted. It is a thing that happens though, so it's important to mention.
Despite my complaints and problems with this comic, the ending still had me smiling, so make of that what you will.
Mr. 100% Perfect
