    This one's a dual-male story, with the "violent switch" in the hands of a gentle soul—who's afraid? Two love-struck individuals, one a yandere with an insatiable possessiveness, the other doting and clingy, never running away. They pamper each other, both are quick-witted, and one even tricked the other into going to the basement for his sensitive period. It's all about various fetishes; neither resists, neither runs away, and they even seem to enjoy it. It's like a perfect match, and the plot is quite good, all to promote the traditional craft of carved white porcelain. 🤔
