A sex-less relationship ?..umm..maybe... maybe not
An intriguing story on two lonely people who feel unloved, and stuck in their relationship, but somehow guilt-driven and not sure enough to question it directly or walk away, as yet
BL-needle score: 6 So far moderate BL-ness, but likely to go up in the subsequent episodes
Sei is attracted to Kazauki and lives with him as in a relationship...but Kauzauki was clear that they can never have sex or physically intimate...Sei feels cared-for and protected, but unfulfilled...starts to question and feel caged...Hagiwara has an apparently loving girlfriend who he is expected to marry, but they have completely stopped having sex...whenever he makes an advance, she avoids it indirectly.....which is starting to make him feel unloved, shut out, and slighted.... with a simmering frustration and anger that seems to be growing...
An accidental email gets Sei and Hagiwara talking...and as often lonely people do, they keep talking, unaware that they are actually office colleagues..even though they meet in the professional space, they do not know that their email-mate is this same person......The pent-up sexual and emotional frustration seems all ready to burst forth in their respective worlds, as they keep on with this apparently harmless email-chat....it seems very likely that they would be the hammer for each other to break open the dam of pent-up desires, emotions and frustration......
I loved how they seem to be creating conversations around the spectrum of sexuality (e.g. asexuality?), sexual expressions and desires, and how such diversity can impact relationships.....
Will update this review as the story progresses
