   Contains a lot of criticism of certain overly radical BL (Boys' Love) writers! Multiple male leads and a small amount of gay-to-straight conversion!! If you're sensitive to this, please skip! It's a work the author seems to have been driven to madness (bushì), but the writing is very good and enjoyable to read. There will be some depressing scenes in the early stages (very, very little!). Also, I really love the female lead's eerie, ghostly character design. The little sister is so cute, I just want to rub her!

    This book is truly let down by its title.

There is no romantic pairing, and the protagonist is not entirely a good person.
