Definitely a "bodice ripper"
LITA is popular for a reason. The chemistry is great, the overall idea pretty good, and the NC scenes are well executed (not that realistic though).
MILD SPOILERS BELOW ***
However, I was not surprised when I learnt MAME wrote this because it has everything a teen girl could want in a BL; and not in the best way. The whole bathroom scene with Payu and Rain made me cringe, not to mention it was nonconsensual. There were a lot of other scenes like that making the writing seem pretty juvenile.
I did like the dynamic between Pai and Sky. But Sky's trauma is basically portrayed as a way to progress their relationship, and after he tells Pai about it, the whole situation is glossed over and not revisited.
But, it was a decently light watch and I can definitely appreciate that, and the chemistry between all leads was great. I loved the affection they gave to each other and there are a lot of fluffy scenes. I especially have a soft spot for Sky and P'Pai. Some if the scenes were funny and I liked the friendship between Sky and Rain. I rewatch LITA when I have nothing else to watch, and it's a great way to turn off my brain for a while.
