UTD (read 5.5 chapters). Ogasawara Minami x Hiroto Yuri. Seme x gay. Ultra nerd seme (about fish and marine biology in general). Odd seme. Fish nerd seme. Weird seme. Repressed gay uke. Closet gay uke. Intrigued uke (by seme’s blatant nerdy obsessions without fear of others’ disdain). Good-looking seme whose looks are overshadowed by his fish otaku-ness, lol. Earnest seme. Painfully earnest seme. True to himself seme. Popular uke (with girls). Uke who always gets dumped by the girls for not seeming interested in them. No self-awareness seme who freely expresses his passion (for fish) without fear of people thinking he’s weird. Seme who’s not afraid of being seen as a weirdo for what he likes. But he is weird as he’s so obsessed with his passion he literally does it during class, haha.
This is unbearably sweet and fluffy and I actually teared up a little at the end of chapter 4. After agonising over his own homosexuality and liking seme and ignoring him due to uke’s own fear, that last scene where uke runs to seme to finally reveal he’s in love with seme in such an awkwardly adorable way due to his nerves and trembling with finally wanting to tell someone who he really is and wanting t tell seme because seme is a person so true to himself, REALLY got to me and made me tear up like crazy. Poor baby was rambling incoherently about his erotic aquatic themed fantasies due to his own repressed sexuality along with admiring seme falling in love with him. GAH, my heart hurts...
