What? How did this get so popular again?
There’s barely any plot to this manga. The conflict made no sense. The only parts I remember were the smut scenes (which were admittedly uncomfortable to read because of how reluctant the uke was). There’s no substance at all - I couldn’t for the life of me try to follow the story. It tried to be BL with more plot and character building compared to the other titles of this genre but fell totally short of expectations. What’s the point of the plot again? I didn’t get to like nor sympathise with the characters at all. I didn’t get to root for their romance. To be honest, no-brainer one-volume BLs are better than this in terms of simplicity of plot and enjoyment to read.

YES YES YES!!!! Finally more backstory and more sense in this relationship. That ending, though... Now I will have to wait until Vol. 6 is translated.

"Kuro..."
"I'm sorry for falling for you. I love you so much. Please don't...throw me away."
You. Got. To. Be. Kidding. Me.
Pffft.
And wow. There's a good development in the story. You are awesome 😭

Reseña del manga completo: En general me ha gustado mucho el dibujo y la historia -Kurose es too much-, pero no he entendido ese final.

Volume 5 was an interesting addition to Kurose's backstory and it was also nice to see Shirotani becoming a bit more assertive (well, sort of more assertive...).
It's strange how I'm finding this series at the same time deeply uncomfortable and totally addictive. I expect I'll have more to say when I'll finally get the chance to write a review for the whole thing.
The story in Vol. 5 finished with a bit of a cliffhanger and - although I took a sneaky peak at the following chapters online - I'll be waiting for the new volume to be properly published.
Make it soon, please! ^_^

We learn a bit about Kurose's childhood and how he became interested in psychology.

4.25/5 estrellas.
Si bien me gustó más que los tomos anteriores porque tuvimos la posibilidad de ver un poco en el pasado de Kurose, creo que hay cosas que no me terminan de cerrar...

I went on a binge and read volumes 2-5 all at once so I'm rating these 4 volumes as a whole.
This series is very problematic. Shirotani is forced into doing things after saying "stop" or "no" on multiple occasions. While sure, maybe he eventually wanted Kurose to do things to him...it didn't start out that way. While this series has its issues, it's pretty fast paced and an easy read. I wanted to know what happened next, mainly because I hoped the storyline would change for the better...but so far, it has not.

Maybe 2.5?
As this series goes on I am more and more conflicted? There are consent issues throughout the volumes that never seem to get resolved beyond Kurose saying "you wanted me to do them", even though Shirotani was telling him not to at the time. Regardless of his revelations later on that Kurose was right... No means no people.
I'm not entirely sure I'll continue, but I probably will because I'm invested.

Hm. Bin weiterhin nicht besonders beeindruckt. Die Figuren kommen nicht an mich heran und bleiben trotz gelieferter Hintergrundgeschichte eindimensional. Man kann es lesen, muss aber wirklich nicht unbedingt. Zumal die Bände schon recht schmal sind und man sie super schnell durchgelesen hat.

One more volume and I’m dooonee.
This volume was amazing. They finally did it ahahah. And I’m so happy we got to find out Kurose’s back story and what made him become the person he is now. He is such a gray character and I still can’t quite decide how I feel about him.

Más de lo mismo... podría catalogarlo de "pasable" de no ser por las escenas de niños. Dan mucha grima.

Sinceramente mi aspettavo di meglio.
Nei manga di questa serie è raccontata la storia del giovane Shirotami Tadaomi che, affetto da Misofobia (paura dello sporco), cercherà di guarire dalla malattia grazie all'aiuto dello psichiatra Kurose e alla sua "terapia dei 10 passi" (da qui "10 count", il titolo del manga), secondo la quale Shirotami avrebbe dovuto scrivere le 10 cose che ha più paura di fare (o che gli vengano fatte) e man mano riuscire a superare questi ostacoli eseguendole una alla volta, partendo dalla meno "fastidiosa" a quella più difficile per lui.
Il primo volume (o comunque, l'inizio della storia) funziona ed è abbastanza interessante, però andando avanti, diciamo che il tutto si è perso.
Ok, non voglio fare spoiler, quindi... vi dico solo che nei manga sono presenti scene che secondo me si sarebbero potute anche evitare e la storia si sarebbe quindi potuta svolgere in modo diverso (e credo proprio che avrei preferito che fosse stato così), soprattutto per quanto riguarda le fasi della guarigione di Shirotami.
Proprio per questo motivo, credo che per certi versi, questi manga possano risultare diseducativi e demenziali (?)
Peccato... :(

YES. FINALLY. Kurose's backstory is everything I wanted and more!!
∘₊✧─── POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!! ───✧₊∘
SWEET LITTLE KUROSE OMG! That poor boy just wanted to be loved my heart is breaking for him!! He just wants to feel special and needed and aasihjdfjheefjh! *cries in yaoi* Honestly, I'm loving how accurate the depictions of child-Kurose are - he acts out and takes things to extremes because he just wants someone to react to him and see him, whether it be good or bad. Also, seeing how much emotional neglect he experienced as a child, it's no wonder he has such a flat affect as an adult. All the pieces are coming together and I am literally in love with the way the author held out on us with this information.

Me gustó muchísimo este tomo y los aspectos a destacar es que la calidad de la hoja es impresionante. Extraño un poco el olor a tinta pero es genial que hayan invertido un poco más en el papel (good job ivrea)
Me pasa algo extraño y quiero hacer catarsis ahora que estoy a un tomo de terminar la historia. Los amo pero como que no me termino de creer su relación. Onda, leí esta historia hace mucho y cuando me enteré de que los iban a publicar dejé el último cap sin leer (por lo que no sé como termina realmente) y ahora no sé, como que no importa lo que Kurose haga... siento que nunca voy a terminar de entender que es lo que ama de Shirotani: su enfermedad o a él.

In Band 4 habe ich mich noch gefragt, ob man nun auch noch mehr über Kurose und seinen Hintergrund erfährt und hier war es dann so weit, was mich sehr gefreut hat. Mit den Infos, die der Leser hier bekommt, kann man seinen Charakter besser verstehen.
Es gab auch wieder sehr heiße Szenen zwischen den beiden und es ist auch schon zu sehen, wie Shirotani sich immer mehr öffnet bzw. seine Zwänge ihn nicht mehr so sehr dominieren.
Wie auch schon in den anderen Bänden, haben mir die Zeichnungen sehr gefallen. Die Gesichter und die Mimik fand ich wieder toll dargestellt. Und auch klasse, das die erotischen Szenen nicht zensiert wurden.

Este volume me deixou profundamente tocado e reflexivo. A jornada de Shirotani para superar sua misofobia e encontrar paz interior é uma narrativa poderosa de resiliência e amor.
A relação entre Shirotani e Kurose atinge um ponto crucial, onde segredos são revelados e questões não resolvidas vêm à tona. Temos um clímax emocional e narrativo que é realmente impressionante.

Mi cara fue esta (😍) al enterarme que seiyuus ponen sus voces para Shirotani y Kurose en los cd drama.

Go figure, the book kicks off with a big sex scene. I'm seeing a trend.
Last volume the sub was the subject of flashbacks to explain his mental state. What's good for the gander is good for the other gander, as the dom gets his flashback sequence this time.
With the relationship starting to make progress, isn't it almost time to introduce a new mystery character to cause disruption? Oh, yep, there she is on the last page.
I hope a transition to soap opera to draw the run out doesn't kill my interest in the series.

In this one, we do get some of Kurose's background, which was great since I love him. Certain things happen that I question but overall I do love
2/1/19
So, first time I read this, it was my least favorite of the series since I had mixef feelings. Still have them but enjoyed it more
Original review: 12/18
I have mixed feeling about this one since we find out certain things about the love interest and his fascincation with germaphobes that has been questioning the relationship a little, but still I love these two. I fell hard for this series

Il capitolo 33 si apre con quella grandissima zoccola di Ueda. Ma si può essere più zoccola di così?
"Kurose sta assumendo il ruolo che aveva tuo padre?" Standing ovation per Kurose e la sua risposta. Tutti dovremmo avere un Kurose che ci ama!

This just isn't working for me. I can sort of see what she is trying to do, but the plot feels so unbalanced. Others just do it way, way better, and no art can make up for this.

I love getting flashes to the past, it really helps develop the characters!
February 28, 2019
Yeah, I'm now getting to the point where I can't ship this couple anymore, especially after what happened in this volume. There were some sweet moments, but it's not going to make up for the romantic development of dubious consent and Kurose continuing to penetrate Shirotani to the point where the latter forgot the former was even inside him. That's just....no.
Takarai really needs to develop Shirotani's self-confidence more thoroughly outside of what he accomplished here. He still views himself as contaminated, and that's a big hurdle he needs to overcome before this relationship can become healthier. Kurose also needs to not view Shirotani as something to be "cured" or "fixed" due to an event in his own past which was nice to finally get to see, but it didn't add a lot to his character in my eyes.
In chapter 33, the art style has started to shift a bit in terms of how Takarai has drawn faces. I'm not sure if it's for better or worse. That conclusion will be saved until the next volume. Regardless, it's nice to see a realistically censored anus for once.
Last but not least, some of the dialogue really made me laugh this time. "...Would you mess me up inside even more?" and "There's no one in the world who can mess you up like I can, Shirotani." were highlights. It doesn't need to be this melodramatic, but alas, that may be asking for too much.
Hopefully the next volume wraps this series up on a positive note, because it's been a wild ride. From a psychological standpoint, it's fascinating to analyze; from a story standpoint, it's fine enough; and from a smut standpoint, it is kind of sexy. However, it's not looking good from a relationship standpoint to the point where I want to do this: https://youtu.be/XMcm74MKa1s?t=22

So that just happened. Umm...hmm. Wow - Just don't know what really to say XD. I mean holy shit we were given a heavy dose of well hotness to say the least. We are definitely revealed a lot with Shirotani and his struggles with not only coming to terms with falling in love but with also facing his dark desires. But the thing that I loved the most is that we finally got to see the shell of Kurose break and he, himself, reveal his own insecurities and fears.
And then of course there is that ending and I am just like ...are. you. kidding. me?!
Yup that is all.

Precious! These two are fantastic together. Both equally f*ed in the head and there for each other through it (one on purpose and the other unknowingly). Too sexy and kinky and sweet! I look forward to seeing how it all resolves. It better be a happy-ish ending, dammit!
