I knew this wasn't gonna be for me when I saw it was about someone who was sent to be sacrificed. I tend to not like that kind of storyline... But I did not know that the lovey-dovey feeling between the two started while Taro was so young. On top of the fact that the Uru is basically his adopted father had me questioning if I should just leave right now. I got halfway and then just started skimming pages to understand the whole picture better.
I don't see how this has such high ratings. I think because on the surface the romantic feelings look very one-sided and the art's pretty. Uru is caring for this kid as his adopted child. Taro, however, has loved him for years. Uru trying to play up how dangerous he is as a beast while also making sure Taro is safe which is cute. It's very fatherly and that's adorable but his affection is growing for Taro while he's still a kid. Nothing really happened until he's an adult but everything leading up to that is completely uncomfortable.
Funny enough, my final straw was the fact that the wolfman doesn't stay a werewolf by the end of the story. That sucks and is not a plotline I want to read about beast people.
