Interesting, I was more invested in this volume.
It's still over the top, still very borderline abuse/sexually, but we actually had some growth for multiple characters. The ending events pick up right here as Zen's mother walks in his room filled with panty shots he took of girls covering his walls. So he deals with that and the out lash from his father while trying to find who he truly is. Ayame tries to guide Zen into a new life, making him worthy of being a person again.
This is far more character driven than the last volume which felt very shock value. This has some of those moments, one involving Ayame and Zen having to confront Aoi about what they're doing but it is the ending with Zen growth that help me see this one in a new light. I think I'm in this one for the long haul now.
A 3.5 but I'll bump it to a 4.

I simultaneously have many thoughts, and then none whatsoever. Aoi is my favorite character.

Despite kinky stuff, manga also keeps quite good psychological line that reflects motivation of characters and reveals some problems in (Japanese, but not only) society. I was intrigued by name of the title and got hooked up pretty quickly:)

I like the character development and Zen was finally able to express himself. But Ayame ..that chick is in a different level. This volume determines if I was going to continue this series and I guess I will.

Okay okay, Aoi… you’re kinky too lol. Not judging! I actually liked seeing her tied up vs Zen…

CW for iffy consent, sexual harassment
I was meh on the first volume of this manga exploring kink, but I liked this one much better! None of the characters are really likable yet, but the dialogue about taboo is compelling! And I really like the author's notes at the end.
