Naturally, the ending is exactly the sort of thing the hoodlum would love: he gets pinned down in a ridiculously melodramatic, utterly predictable way.

    This is the first novel I read on Tomato that truly suits my taste. The plot is fast-paced, and the writing is exceptionally good. I'm usually quite particular about writing style, but this one is handled exquisitely in every aspect. I've only read about thirty chapters and I can't help but give it a good review. The strong duality is really appealing; the protagonist is truly amazing, and I love the character design. The author's political intrigue is so captivating that I almost forgot I was reading BL. A great read, I love it, and the writing is superb.
